Earlier this week, we had the privilege of hosting several members of the iQuality Improvement and Innovation Group (iQIIG) in the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ) at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Thank you to Anita Monteiro, Group Director; Paul Rosen, M.D., Medical Officer; and Scott Lawrence, D.C., Senior Policy Advisor, for taking time to talk with our staff and better understand our health system. During this visit, they were particularly interested in learning about challenges our staff face with supply chain, revenue cycle, and drug shortages.
Our visitors joined us for our Lean Management System (LMS) rounds and shared their appreciation for our vision of whole system quality improvement. We accompanied them to our Maternal Newborn Health (MNH) Department so they could learn about the great work our MNH team is doing to reduce maternal morbidity and ensure equitable care, regardless of race.
I always appreciate visits like these because they not only give us an opportunity to showcase our hard work, but they also give us a chance to have a voice in reshaping and improving healthcare delivery in our country.
I know I mentioned this last week, but I’m so excited to have additional parking options that I want to
say it again – the brand-new Berman Garage is now open, adding ~400 more parking spaces to campus. Patients and visitors are welcome to park in the new garage regardless of where they’re heading on campus, but it likely offers the most convenience to those visiting the new Louis and Phyllis Friedman Building, Main Hospital, Physicians Pavilion West and radiation oncology. It is also an alternative for patients with appointments in Physicians Pavilion East if Iris Garage is nearing capacity.
I’d also like to remind staff that, at this time, the Berman Garage is for patients and visitors only. Please continue to follow the employee parking policy and your regular parking assignments to ensure our patients and visitors have ample parking options.
National Women Physicians Day
National Women Physicians Day is February 3! I just wanted to take a moment to share my gratitude for all the women physicians on GBMC HealthCare’s medical staff.
