New HealthStream Integration Begins Saturday

by Leave a Comment

Tomorrow marks 60 days before the Go-Live of eSummit with Epic and many Business Systems. In preparation for the learning needs that will accompany integration, Platte Valley will merge with SCL Health’s HealthStream application this Saturday, April 1 (no joke!). Several new learning assignments supporting SCL Health business systems will be issued to Platte Valley associates via the new PVMC HealthStream application.

Access to the new PVMC HealthStream application can be accomplished three ways:

  1.  Via this link
  2. Launch The Landing, SCL Health’s intranet hope page: https://thelanding.sclhs.net
    1. Select the Applications menu
    2. Select: HealthStream
    3. Enter: Your Network Credentials (your S# & Password)
    4. Select: Submit
  3. And when Platte Valley’s page on The Landing is “live,” associates can access HealthStream either from the home page or via the Applications menu.

What type of assignments can I expect to receive?

PVMC associates will find self-paced learning assignments associated with the pending business system integration effort on their respective “My To-Do List”:

Celebrate Doctor’s Day This Thursday, March 30

by Leave a Comment

When the PVMC Foundation sent out a mailing offering community members the opportunity to make a donation and honor their favorite doctor, they had no idea the impact it would have.

This Thursday, March 30, we celebrate Doctor’s Day with a display of these letters in the Bistro. We encourage you to read a few of the testimonials sent in by grateful and happy patients from our community. What’s even better? The Foundation received nearly $2,000 in the process.

Every day, our doctors research, diagnose, and treat disease, and promote good health for our patients. We’re grateful for our doctor’s knowledge and dedication to helping others. This Thursday, National Doctors’ Day, join us in thanking our doctors for their commitment to quality care and compassion.

 

“The stories I have received from this fundraiser remind me why I love my job,” explains Foundation Executive Director Carol Baumgartner. “It makes me PVMC Proud!!!”

Good Catches from Platte Valley Associates

by Leave a Comment

Last week  we celebrated Safety Awareness Week by recognizing “lifeguards for safety” in every department. Each lifeguard received lifesavers candy for a wide variety of responses that demonstrated what they do to keep our patients safe.  Some of our staff also reported Good Catches in the occurrence reporting system. (Good catches are also referred to as near misses and are instances where an error occurs but is caught before it reaches the patient, a visitor, or our associates.)  To recognize  the good catches reported last week, $20 movie coupons were awarded.  And the winners are…

Ellen Wagner, SCN

Bethany Gabel, MST

Gordon Steward, ED

Maria Martinez, MST

Ann Johnson, Dietician

Julie Kilgore, House Sup

Julie Windemeyer, Nutrition

Denae Alva, Nutrition Services

Mindy Facey, Eagle Ridge Medical

Sally Cunningham, Nutrition Services

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our good catches were submitted to SCL Health to be entered in the system-wide drawing for the grand prize (a Phantom Drone) or one of ten  $100 Amazon gift cards.  Stayed tuned; PVMC may have more winners!

Please remember to continue to complete occurrence reports for any good catches you observe.  We are all “winners” when safety is improved!
