Hospital Emergency Room Manager Explains Changes
TOMS RIVER – Walk into the emergency room lobby of Community Medical Center and you will see the most recent renovations and upgraded policy procedures in patient care. As a director and manager of the emergency room, Jaime Pitner, R.N, MSN, CEN, MICP, has been personally active in the supervision and recruitment of staff. Since April 2015, there have been numerous improvements in patient care. Patients are registered and triaged immediately. During his tenure, patients were assessed and made comfortable by trained professionals. His sensitivity focuses on patients’ stress management, and the understanding of their social requirements. Emergency Nursing staff has increased. Housekeeping has improved with additional volunteers rendering assistance,
and combative patients are controlled by trained security personnel. Nurses, trained in Reiki offer assistance to depressed or stressed patients exhibiting symptoms. The emergency room accommodates approximately 74 beds comfortably. After triage, assessment and treatment of patients, 25 percent are either admitted or discharged based on their condition. Since 1977, he functioned as an Emergency Medical Technician, a paramedic, and in 1991, was elected president of the NJ MICU Paramedic Association. He became a Clinical Nurse Specialist and Educator in Chest Pain. Utilizing a variety of means to de-stress patients, which may include Holistic medicine, hypnosis or Reiki, many patients agree that their level of pain has decreased.
