Stamford Hospital Nurses
What nurses are most proud of at Stamford Hospital is that they can and do have an impact on patient care. Through the growth, development and evaluation of the Shared Governance model and the work of our nursing councils, our nurses excel through their readiness to learn, research and implement change at the bedside to improve care for their patients.
At Stamford Hospital, we work diligently to “hardwire” behavior that improves our culture of Quality and Service. Key initiatives include:
-
Hourly rounding
-
Post-discharge phone calls to ensure patients are recovering and following their plan of care post-hospitalization
-
MRSA screening and improved hand hygiene leading to a reduction in hospital-acquired infections
-
Bedside Medication Verification, enabling caregivers to utilize barcode scanning to ensure correct medications and dosages for each patient
-
Enhanced fall risk assessment and interventions to reduce falls
-
Improved patient throughput in the ED, resulting in a reduction in transfer time for admitted patients
This level of excellence is not an accident. Only exceptional nurses can deliver exceptional patient-centered care. We work hard to attract the highest quality nurses, provide opportunities for their continuing education and training, and support their professional goals. Just as important, we offer a culture where any improvement in the patient experience is celebrated.
At Stamford Hospital, our nurses continually live our values of respect, accountability, teamwork, compassion and integrity, while meeting the challenges of a demanding yet rewarding profession.
