We’ve made some important new improvements in the way we help concept in care delivery, designed to bring a higher level of care closer to the patient. We call it Patient Focused Care. While we’ ve always maintained a focus on our patients, the Patient Focused Care concept brings several innovations together to improve the quality of care. First, we changed the traditional design of hospital care facilities. We've replaced the central nurses’ station typically found on a hospital floor with new care stations in each wing. ‘This brings professional care closer to each patient. Medications and patient supplies are also closer, reducing delays and extra trips to supply stations. This also reduces noise on the floor, making the hospital a less stressful place for both the patient and care professionals. : Other helpful design innovations include advanced automated medication dispensing and rapid distri- bution of records, test results and lab reports through an internal fast-transit air tube network connecting various departments. These features add speed and efficiency to the job of caring for patients. Mary Ann Ratajczak, L.P.N., care associate, takes a blood pressure reading on Lisa Rosiak of Scranton. Jocelyn Hetro, care assistant, left, and Charlotte Matiska Wydock, R.N., are shown providing care for Bernard Popson of Ashley. -> “ \ Our newest innovation is built on an old idea: - She knowing the patient : : Each care professional now cares for a smaller number of patients, while performing a broader range of services. As a result, staff members gain a fuller understanding of the patient’s total health picture. And the progress and condition of patients can be more closely monitored and evaluated on a regular basis. This allows care professionals to have greater involvement — and a more meaningful role — in the complete care process of their patients. Patients receive more attentive care and become more familiar with the individuals providing them with care services. What's more, there is often less need to move patients throughout the hospital for tests and procedures — another way to reduce anxieties and promote healing. At Penn State Geisinger Wyoming Valley, we're always finding the best ways to make our patients the focus of all we do.
