Making the cut for Patient Safety Awareness…Capt. Patrick Fitzpatrick, Naval Hospital Bremerton director and Navy Medicine Readiness Training Command Bremerton commanding officer is flanked by Quality Management staff to officially recognize the annual Patient Safety Awareness Week, March 12-18, 2023. This year’s central theme, “Be a patient safety hero anytime, anywhere, always,” highlighted NHB’s Good Catch program, expressly designed to acknowledge staff members who ‘Speak Up for Patient Safety’ when they notice something even remotely amiss, whether it’s a wrong dosage on prescribed medication to a patient in need of immediate medical assistance. The Pharmacy staff have reported eight good catches in the past six months, along with similar efforts in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and the Main Operating Room. Staff members cited for safeguarding patients are, Dr Brynne Standaert, Family Medicine general pediatrician; Victor Chu, Pharmacy, pharmacist; Mason Bridge, Pharmacy technician; Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Brogan Chambers, Pharmacy; Lilly Moore, Main Operation Room administrative assistant; Linda Clauson, Pharmacy technician ; Victor Luoma, Pharmacy technician; Hospital Corpsmen 2nd Class Jacob Baker and Timothy Clark, Main OR surgical technologists; Aaron Myers, Internal Medicine registered nurse and Hospitalman Aaron Ferguson, Pharmacy (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
