Prairie Lakes Healthcare System’s Post

$10 billion in economic impact, $557 million in community benefit and $70 million invested in team member education assistance. Just a few examples of what makes BayCare such an extraordinary organization to work for and why we are #BayCareProud.

Do you wish that you could cut the Peterborough Regional Health Centre a big cheque but lack the funds to cut even a medium cheque? Same here. But you know what you can donate that's just as valuable? If you said "your time, volunteering" you're right, and you've clearly followed us long enough. The PRHC actively needs volunteers for certain jobs around the hospital. Are you good at giving directions? Being a way-finder or working at the information desk helps patients and visitors know where they need to go. If you're more a retail genius, the gift shop also needs volunteers to keep the shelves stocked and help patients or their families purchase essential stay items that may have been forgotten, especially in an emergency. There are also some pretty cool gifts, for those staying and those being released. There is also a call for Outpatient Services assistants. There's a wide variety of departments you could be working in to help people who are there for simple procedures that don't require a stay. Some of it includes escorting patients to their rides, or giving instructions for pre- or post-care. The other place you can volunteer is with Inpatient Services. You'll be helping staff with tasks and activities for those who are staying for a while. These are just the positions that PRHC has posted with us. There are more. Many, many more. They are mostly one shift a week and require references and a separate application form. The hospital is accessible by several transit routes. Get in touch today to help people get through some of the best, worst, most stressful, and most joyful times of their lives. You know what we mean, because you've been there, too. https://buff.ly/3RvWZZ4 #TryItTuesday #Healthcare #VolunteersNeeded #StudentHours #ResumeBuilding

With the right support, Jennifer Pearl can fly. Jennifer Pearl, member of the National Co-production Advisory Group #NCAG, opened the The King's Fund annual #NHS conference last week as part of a panel. Speaking before a full house to a sold-out event, both a daunting and exhilarating experience. Her mission was to highlight the challenges faced within #healthcare, to share what it takes to overcome these hurdles and live a good life, and to emphasise what she can do, not what she can’t. A big part of this is having a good team of people around her, who hold the right values. Approaching the 75th anniversary of the NHS, Jennifer is hopeful for positive change, emphasising #CoProduction as a key driver of progress for better commissioning. Small changes, like swift equipment provision, can have a substantial impact on lives. Jennifer is well supported by a team of four carers at home who over the years have become part of the family. Despite this support, challenges persist, particularly in the form of limited options for bedtime care calls. Jennifer understands the challenges that carers face and advocates for better conditions and recognition of their work. At the conference, Jennifer and her fellow panellists discussed the values they believe should be enshrined in care practices, which again highlighted the challenges faced by the care workforce. Jennifer drew not only from her own experience, but from the work we have been doing on workforce values that will feed into the Department of Health and Social Care's #CareWorkforcePathway, launching in the coming months. Jennifer remains committed to working with fellow advocates to make healthcare better for everyone. Words for this post inspired by Jennifer Pearl ☁

3/4 of hospital board members have no clinical background. Given this lack, how are hospitals supposed to effectively conduct quality- and performance-improvement efforts? Three tips: 1. Hospital and health system board members must do more than just approve budgets. They need to help establish the organization’s goals, make strategic decisions, and oversee performance while building relationships with key stakeholders. 2. Board members need to understand the value inherent in quality and performance improvement endeavors. 3. Board members must thoroughly understand the communities and patients they serve. #HospitalBoard #HealthcareLeadership https://ow.ly/Y08950Q6w41
