Everyday staff throughout our CIUSSS work to ensure that our patients, residents and clients are cared for in a safe environment. Some are employees, who go above and beyond. On a monthly basis, we would like to highlight these individuals and teams for their dedication and hard work.
In this edition of 360, we turn our focus to the exceptional work of Anya Morel, Lab Technician, who works in the Department of Diagnostic Medicine at the Jewish General Hospital.
Anya was recently processing a specimen and noted that the first name of the patient in the system did not match the identification information on the specimen and requisition. This called into question whether all previous laboratory results for this patient were entered correctly.
She immediately brought this to her supervisors’ attention. From there, an interdisciplinary team worked to solve the problem and reworked the workflow to decrease the chances of this situation recurring.
Our goal is to improve the quality of care and increase patient safety throughout our CIUSSS for all of our users. Thank you, Anya, for your commitment to patient safety!
