Research Forum: the Science of Continuous Quality Improvement

St. Elizabeth Hospital, Inc. hikes up efforts in achieving continuous quality improvement through the conduction of scientific studies and research forums. Headed by Erick Von Fredeluces, RN, Research Coordinator, research studies are made possible and regularly per-formed to ensure that the company lives up to its vision and mission in every way possible. In the recent months, SEHI has conducted various investigatory projects that endeavored to yield quality services to clients and resolve conflicts and issues of employee performances. Breakthrough project accomplished by the Research and Development Office this year was entitled “Nursing Care Delivery and Shift Endorsement of SEHI”, the most visible insofar research implementation of the institution which is responsible for the milestone shift of the Nursing Service from functional nursing modality to primary nursing.

Mr. Fredeluces levels up the conduction of research studies by way of a research forum: the presentation of the entire study to the con-cerned bodies and departments- its methodologies, results and recommendations of the researcher. The research assembly serves as the avenue for the spectators to voice out concerns and take part in the improvement advocated by the research findings. According to the research coordinator, opinions and suggestions of the departments and sections involved are significant in coming up with better strategies to innovate systems and policies of the institution.

These recommendations, from the researcher and personnel collated, are then raised to the administration for evaluation and

final decision regarding the feasibility of its implementation in relation to the subject discussed in the study. Indeed, St. Elizabeth Hospital’s conduction of quality improvement research is the best embodiment of the institution’s quality

policy: “committed to provide the highest quality health care” incorporating the art of caring and the science of methodology.

I ntravenous therapy is defined as the parenteral infusion of fluids, electrolytes, blood components,

nutrients or medication to prevent or treat deficiencies or diseases. It is a very common place of therapeutic treatment today. The nurse is typically the professional who is responsible for maintaining, monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of IV therapy. In many nursing practice settings, a great deal of the nurses’ time and professional responsibility revolve around component delivery of IV therapy. Therefore, it is vital that today’s nurses understand the basic principles of IV Therapy.

St. Elizabeth Hospital Inc., in coordination with the

Association of Nursing Service Administrators of the Philippines (ANSAP) conducted a three-day Intravenous Therapy Basic Course on September 11 to 13, 2013. The training was successfully held at Retro Hall Training Center with 61 participants. It was facilitated by the institution’s Nursing Service Office headed by the chief nurse, Janet Alcala, RN.

The basic course involved discussion of pertinent

theories and principles in fluids and electrolyte balance, pharmacology and parenteral drug administration, chemotherapy, blood transfusion, parenteral nutrition and prevention on IV related nosocomial infections. Such topics were intellectually discoursed by the institution’s IV preceptors from the Nursing Service and Corporate Planning Office.

Dexterity in IV therapy procedures of the participants

were honed as they practiced return demonstration and actual IV insertion. The third day event proved well that indeed, in order to make perfect a particular skill, it takes constant practice.

Intravenous Therapy is an important aspect of nursing

profession. Enhancing knowledge and skills while doing intravenous therapy is essential in order to give clients the best possible professional and quality care that they deserve.

A remarkable beginning happened as the Department of

Medicine of St. Elizabeth Hospital Incorporated inaugurated

the Residency Training Program last August 1, 2013 at the Retro

Hall Training Center, SEH Compound, General Santos City.

This is the first three- year Internal Medicine Residency Training

Program of the entire Region 12 which intends to provide

progressive clinical experience, updated didactics, and journal studies

for the residents solely dedicated to Internal Medicine. The program

aims to provide competent, efficient and cost- effective patient care

to the community and to develop professional and skilled internists.

The core trainers of the Department are Dr. Annie Du-Yabut, the

Department Chair- Cardiology; Dr. Michael M. Enriquez, Chief

Training Officer- Cardiology; Dr. Vivien S. Paez, Gastroenterolgy;

Dr. Noel Pingoy, Hematology/Oncology; Dr. Arnelia Bersales-

Masendo, Nephrology; Dr. Emilia Juele Javier, Pulmonology; Dr.

Jolyle Mazo, Cardiology; Dr. Ronald Magbanua, Neurology; Dr.

James Manching, Rheumatology; Analyza Galia, Endocrinology and

Dr. Ruth Peñaflorida, Internal Medicine.

The inauguration was highlighted after the residency trainees were

officially introduced and welcomed. The new residency trainees are

Dr. Cheryl Rose Magan- Hudieres and Dr. Mark S. Bangcaya. To

show their utmost support, the SEH Board of Directors, the

Hospital Administrator, the Medical Department Heads along with

other members of the Medical Staff, heads and supervisors of the

nursing service department, officers of the Corporate Planning

Office attended the said event.

The success of the inauguration on that day was just a beginning

for the new endeavor of the Department of Medicine and for the

Hospital. More “birth pains” and struggle is indeed, anticipated to

make the program successful. However, with the dedication,

commitment and support of the members of the Medicine

Department and the Hospital management, surely it will succeed.

World PT Day: PMR reaches out to kids with cerebral palsy

By Pamela O. Aquino

Many Hands, One Purpose. Physical therapists from different institutions all convened

for one mission.

Dull frizzy hair, dry scaly skin, sparkling golden teeth,

cracked chappy lips- you may just even find yourself in the

quagmire of despair from bearing such looks- problems. Ever

get tired of your jaded look but hesitant to spend a dime to

look fabulous? Nix your anxiety ‘cause there are gazillion ways

to oomph up to a new you without spending much- talk about

beautifying at the comfort of your own home.
