Introducing Good for YouA new program designed to engage community members in managing their health

Promoting good health has always been fundamental to our mission at Baptist Health Now as part of our Changing Health Care for Good brand platform we are taking the next step in partnering with our community to enhance their health amp wellness by launching an ongoing initiative called Good for You

Well

ldquoI want to meetmy health and

wellness goalsrdquo

Researching

ldquoHelp me findthe right healthcare resourcesrdquo

Evaluating

ldquoHow does my health status compare now

Maintaining

ldquoCamaraderie makes it easier to stick to

my care planrdquo

PATIEnT

The future of health care is based on a new age

of educated empowered and engaged patients

When patients are in our care there are many

ways we seek to increase their health education

and engagement

But what about the people in our community

who arenrsquot patients very often or who donrsquot

have a primary care relationship How can we

develop relationships with these individuals on

an ongoing basis to help them achieve their

health and wellness goals ndash so that when they

do need health care they turn to us first

Thatrsquos what Good for You was created to do ndash

provide a 365-day-a-year resource that helps

promote good health and connects interested

individuals to our events information services

physicians as well as to one another to engage

them in managing their health

The ldquohome baserdquoof the Good for You program

is baptistgoodforyoucom a health and wellness

blog This mobile-friendly web site is dedicated

to wellness topics with links to our Baptist

website so that if anyone wants to connect

with our physicians services programs or our

in-depth health library itrsquos only a click away

August2014 3

For our physicians and health care professionals

the Good for You blog is a new way of

sharing their expertise with the community

As the current literature says finding new

ways of delivering health information is a

critical component of engaging consumers in

managing their health Health care systems

increasingly want to be partners in the decision-

making processes that consumers apply in their

everyday lives so they can provide information

and guidance when they need it

Focused on women firstBecause the majority of health care decision-

makers are women Good for You is launching at

Speaking of Womenrsquos Health on August 23 with

content focused on the health needs of women

age 40 and better This is a time of life when

health risks are on the rise and health education

and disease prevention strategies are key

During and after the Speaking of Womenrsquos

Health event attendees and interested

community members are being encouraged to

become Good for You members which entitles

them to a host of members-only benefits

including discounts on special Good for You

events and other offers

If members need help finding Baptist Health

resources for any health-related need they can

call a special line 202-GOOD These calls will

be managed by Kym Dunton RN Coordinator

of Womenrsquos Health who will connect people

to the information and resources they need

Because women typically are the ldquoChief Health

Officersrdquoof their families we believe these care

coordination opportunities will extend beyond

traditional womenrsquos services encompassing

services for the whole family If you have friends or family members who want

to eat healthier quit smoking prevent diabetes

or be inspired by local medical experts

encourage them to consider becoming a Good

for You member today Simply send them to

Congratulations to 2014rsquos Emerging Leaders

A group of 23 Baptist team members are proud

InFORMATIOn SERvICES

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo

Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal

information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically

difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice

Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending

to be an actual employee or someone

providing a service such as an equipment

repairman asking for help to access a

building or logging into a workstation

n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be

someone in a position of authority within the

organization such as saying he or she is the

CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and

needs your help quickly

n Conformity - the attacker attempts to

convince the person that everyone else

has performed the action requested or

management has approved it such as

asking for your password and saying

everyone else has provided theirs

n Shoulder surfing -

this refers to any direct

observation of sensitive

information such as

observing someone

keying in a PIN or

password information

that is displayed on computer

monitors or personnel forms left

on a desk with social security

numbers exposed

If you have any questions or suspect

a possible scam please contact the

Information Services Security department

via the Service Desk at 2027565 or

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old

operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization

Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become

unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a

secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating

system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications

Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff

will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7

Specific details are coming soon

INFORMATION

August2014 7

Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication

method for direct quick informal messages and can be

less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for

health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way

that wonrsquot compromise patient information

After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting

solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health

currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and

out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out

will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar

Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality

beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon

Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages

n Message stats and read receipts

n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups

Secure texting is coming soon

Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care

coordination for our patients is to provide a

summary of care to help make each transition

of care smoother This requires the use of

Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)

As we build toward exchanging CCDs

electronically with providers inside and outside

of Baptist we will initially need to print out the

transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart

at right)

It is important to reinforce security of this

personal health information we are putting in

the patientrsquos hands

Summary of Care (two parts)

Transition of

Care Summary

Clairvia is the staffing scheduling and acuity system being used on inpatient units at Baptist Jacksonville Nassau South Beaches and Wolfson Childrenrsquos Emergency centers (including Clay) will start using Clairvia in December 2014Clairvia is a web-based program that

allows clinical staff access anytime at

wwwMyBHschedulecom This means that by

using a computer connected to the Internet

employees are able to submit schedule

requests participate in team scheduling

sign up for open shifts swap shifts with other

team members and view their current and

future schedules

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia

in July It enables the whole team to participate

in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census

and acuity In the past filling immediate need

nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly

high fluctuation in patient demand has meant

the time-consuming effort of locating a list of

eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving

messages and waiting for return calls

With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are

transmitted electronically to team members

within seconds via SMS text email and

interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts

are broadcast through three different avenues

managers are assured that the messages are

accessible at any time of the day or night

In todayrsquos health care environment rapid

communication and information availability

Keeping connected with Clairvia

August2014 9

are critical in helping

hospitals and

caregivers make

the best decisions

ShiftAlert ensures that

nurses are quickly

aware of pressing

staffing needs and

can respond in time

for managers to

make optimal staffing

choices Detailed

reporting allows managers to monitor alert

distribution and assignment acceptance

or rejection

Learn more about ClairviaClinicians can visit the Clairvia intranet

pages located in Clinical Care for detailed

information includingn Timeline ndash dates for each stage of the

six-week schedule cycle (submission of

schedule requests review by nurse manager

publication swapping shifts with co-workers

and picking up shifts)

n Clairvia Blasts ndash FAQs and specific

instructions for the current phase of the

schedule cycle

n Training documents ndash provided as a

refresher on the step-by-step process for

Clairvia administrators (ie nurse managers)

n Reference documents ndash for employees

who submit schedules and for Clairvia

administrators (ie nurse managers)

PeopleSoft self-service profileSome of the information (ie phone numbers

and email addresses) used by Clairvia is

pulled directly from PeopleSoft Self-Service

Team members using Clairvia should keep their

PeopleSoft profile updated so Clairvia

reflects accurate information

Welcome new Foundation team members

Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE

vice president of Operations and

Specialty Services was named

among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by

The Jacksonville Business Journal

The award recognizes north Florida

women for business achievements

and community involvement

Thomas was recognized for leading

the implementation of Baptist

Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular

Center She led a multidisciplinary

operations team to launch the new center with

the goal of creating the most comprehensive

stroke center in the region To accomplish

this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a

multidisciplinary team including clinical and

operational staff all within a three month time

frame

This effort required simultaneously transforming

four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated

state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-

hospital Since the opening of the new center

on March 17 more than 300 procedures have

been performed

ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would

otherwise have been transferred out of the

community for the complex care they requiredrdquo

said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president

and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive

whose passion has made a significant difference

in improving the health of our communityrdquo

As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care

Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs

throughout the system

In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by

adding several directors of development and other key professional

staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist

Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form

volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating

soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also

work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested

in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new

development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with

the growing number of corporations and young families who want to

be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health

With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private

support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an

end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts

and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best

way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to

infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five

to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most

critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure

Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless

they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented

medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to

wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season

When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during

Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations

across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for

more information

What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all

team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot

through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health

care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee

Health office no later than Nov 30 2014

What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other

than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

August2014 13

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Congratulations Christina

The patientrsquos wife stated Dotson recognized

the emergency analyzed the situation and

jumped to action to get the medications the

patient needed started as quickly as possible

She continued to monitor his treatment and

progress all day and showed genuine concern

there to care for him with persistence

and expertise

Introducing Good for YouA new program designed to engage community members in managing their health

Promoting good health has always been fundamental to our mission at Baptist Health Now as part of our Changing Health Care for Good brand platform we are taking the next step in partnering with our community to enhance their health amp wellness by launching an ongoing initiative called Good for You

Well

ldquoI want to meetmy health and

wellness goalsrdquo

Researching

ldquoHelp me findthe right healthcare resourcesrdquo

Evaluating

ldquoHow does my health status compare now

Maintaining

ldquoCamaraderie makes it easier to stick to

my care planrdquo

PATIEnT

The future of health care is based on a new age

of educated empowered and engaged patients

When patients are in our care there are many

ways we seek to increase their health education

and engagement

But what about the people in our community

who arenrsquot patients very often or who donrsquot

have a primary care relationship How can we

develop relationships with these individuals on

an ongoing basis to help them achieve their

health and wellness goals ndash so that when they

do need health care they turn to us first

Thatrsquos what Good for You was created to do ndash

provide a 365-day-a-year resource that helps

promote good health and connects interested

individuals to our events information services

physicians as well as to one another to engage

them in managing their health

The ldquohome baserdquoof the Good for You program

is baptistgoodforyoucom a health and wellness

blog This mobile-friendly web site is dedicated

to wellness topics with links to our Baptist

website so that if anyone wants to connect

with our physicians services programs or our

in-depth health library itrsquos only a click away

August2014 3

For our physicians and health care professionals

the Good for You blog is a new way of

sharing their expertise with the community

As the current literature says finding new

ways of delivering health information is a

critical component of engaging consumers in

managing their health Health care systems

increasingly want to be partners in the decision-

making processes that consumers apply in their

everyday lives so they can provide information

and guidance when they need it

Focused on women firstBecause the majority of health care decision-

makers are women Good for You is launching at

Speaking of Womenrsquos Health on August 23 with

content focused on the health needs of women

age 40 and better This is a time of life when

health risks are on the rise and health education

and disease prevention strategies are key

During and after the Speaking of Womenrsquos

Health event attendees and interested

community members are being encouraged to

become Good for You members which entitles

them to a host of members-only benefits

including discounts on special Good for You

events and other offers

If members need help finding Baptist Health

resources for any health-related need they can

call a special line 202-GOOD These calls will

be managed by Kym Dunton RN Coordinator

of Womenrsquos Health who will connect people

to the information and resources they need

Because women typically are the ldquoChief Health

Officersrdquoof their families we believe these care

coordination opportunities will extend beyond

traditional womenrsquos services encompassing

services for the whole family If you have friends or family members who want

to eat healthier quit smoking prevent diabetes

or be inspired by local medical experts

InFORMATIOn SERvICES

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo

Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal

information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically

difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice

Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending

to be an actual employee or someone

providing a service such as an equipment

repairman asking for help to access a

building or logging into a workstation

n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be

someone in a position of authority within the

organization such as saying he or she is the

CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and

needs your help quickly

n Conformity - the attacker attempts to

convince the person that everyone else

has performed the action requested or

management has approved it such as

asking for your password and saying

everyone else has provided theirs

n Shoulder surfing -

this refers to any direct

observation of sensitive

information such as

observing someone

keying in a PIN or

password information

that is displayed on computer

monitors or personnel forms left

on a desk with social security

numbers exposed

If you have any questions or suspect

a possible scam please contact the

Information Services Security department

via the Service Desk at 2027565 or

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old

operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization

Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become

unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a

secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating

system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications

Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff

will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7

Specific details are coming soon

INFORMATION

August2014 7

Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication

method for direct quick informal messages and can be

less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for

health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way

that wonrsquot compromise patient information

After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting

solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health

currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and

out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out

will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar

Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality

beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon

Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages

n Message stats and read receipts

n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups

Secure texting is coming soon

Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care

coordination for our patients is to provide a

summary of care to help make each transition

of care smoother This requires the use of

Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)

As we build toward exchanging CCDs

electronically with providers inside and outside

of Baptist we will initially need to print out the

transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart

at right)

It is important to reinforce security of this

personal health information we are putting in

the patientrsquos hands

employees are able to submit schedule

requests participate in team scheduling

sign up for open shifts swap shifts with other

team members and view their current and

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia

in July It enables the whole team to participate

in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census

and acuity In the past filling immediate need

nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly

high fluctuation in patient demand has meant

the time-consuming effort of locating a list of

Welcome new Foundation team members

Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE

vice president of Operations and

Specialty Services was named

among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by

The Jacksonville Business Journal

The award recognizes north Florida

women for business achievements

and community involvement

Thomas was recognized for leading

the implementation of Baptist

Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular

Center She led a multidisciplinary

operations team to launch the new center with

the goal of creating the most comprehensive

stroke center in the region To accomplish

this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a

multidisciplinary team including clinical and

operational staff all within a three month time

frame

This effort required simultaneously transforming

four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated

state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-

hospital Since the opening of the new center

on March 17 more than 300 procedures have

been performed

ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would

otherwise have been transferred out of the

community for the complex care they requiredrdquo

said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president

and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive

whose passion has made a significant difference

in improving the health of our communityrdquo

As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care

Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs

throughout the system

In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by

adding several directors of development and other key professional

staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist

Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form

volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating

soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also

work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested

in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new

development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with

the growing number of corporations and young families who want to

be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health

With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private

support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an

end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts

and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best

way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to

infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five

to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most

critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure

Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless

they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented

medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to

wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season

When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during

Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations

across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for

more information

What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all

team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot

through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health

care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee

Health office no later than Nov 30 2014

What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other

than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

For our physicians and health care professionals

the Good for You blog is a new way of

sharing their expertise with the community

As the current literature says finding new

ways of delivering health information is a

critical component of engaging consumers in

managing their health Health care systems

increasingly want to be partners in the decision-

making processes that consumers apply in their

everyday lives so they can provide information

and guidance when they need it

Focused on women firstBecause the majority of health care decision-

makers are women Good for You is launching at

Speaking of Womenrsquos Health on August 23 with

content focused on the health needs of women

age 40 and better This is a time of life when

health risks are on the rise and health education

and disease prevention strategies are key

During and after the Speaking of Womenrsquos

Health event attendees and interested

community members are being encouraged to

become Good for You members which entitles

them to a host of members-only benefits

resources for any health-related need they can

InFORMATIOn SERvICES

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo

Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal

information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically

difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice

Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending

to be an actual employee or someone

providing a service such as an equipment

repairman asking for help to access a

building or logging into a workstation

n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be

someone in a position of authority within the

organization such as saying he or she is the

CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and

needs your help quickly

n Conformity - the attacker attempts to

convince the person that everyone else

has performed the action requested or

management has approved it such as

asking for your password and saying

everyone else has provided theirs

n Shoulder surfing -

this refers to any direct

observation of sensitive

information such as

observing someone

keying in a PIN or

password information

that is displayed on computer

monitors or personnel forms left

on a desk with social security

numbers exposed

If you have any questions or suspect

a possible scam please contact the

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old

operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization

Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become

unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a

secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating

system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications

Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff

will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7

Specific details are coming soon

INFORMATION

August2014 7

Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication

method for direct quick informal messages and can be

less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for

health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way

that wonrsquot compromise patient information

After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting

solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health

currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and

out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out

will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar

Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality

beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon

Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages

n Message stats and read receipts

n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups

Secure texting is coming soon

Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care

coordination for our patients is to provide a

summary of care to help make each transition

of care smoother This requires the use of

Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)

As we build toward exchanging CCDs

electronically with providers inside and outside

of Baptist we will initially need to print out the

transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart

at right)

It is important to reinforce security of this

personal health information we are putting in

the patientrsquos hands

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia

in July It enables the whole team to participate

the time-consuming effort of locating a list of

eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving

messages and waiting for return calls

With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are

transmitted electronically to team members

within seconds via SMS text email and

interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts

are broadcast through three different avenues

managers are assured that the messages are

accessible at any time of the day or night

In todayrsquos health care environment rapid

Welcome new Foundation team members

Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE

vice president of Operations and

Specialty Services was named

among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by

The Jacksonville Business Journal

The award recognizes north Florida

women for business achievements

and community involvement

Thomas was recognized for leading

the implementation of Baptist

Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular

Center She led a multidisciplinary

operations team to launch the new center with

the goal of creating the most comprehensive

stroke center in the region To accomplish

this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a

multidisciplinary team including clinical and

operational staff all within a three month time

frame

This effort required simultaneously transforming

four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated

state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-

hospital Since the opening of the new center

on March 17 more than 300 procedures have

been performed

ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would

otherwise have been transferred out of the

community for the complex care they requiredrdquo

said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president

and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive

whose passion has made a significant difference

in improving the health of our communityrdquo

As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care

Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs

throughout the system

In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by

adding several directors of development and other key professional

staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist

Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form

volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating

soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also

work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested

in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new

development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with

the growing number of corporations and young families who want to

be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health

With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private

support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an

end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts

and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best

way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to

infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five

to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most

critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure

Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless

they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented

medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to

wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season

When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during

Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations

across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for

more information

What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all

team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot

through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health

care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee

Health office no later than Nov 30 2014

What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other

than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

Congratulations Christina

Dotson RN for being

selected as a Baptist South

second day of his stay she recognized that his

blood pressure and heart rate were extremely

high and his Afib had ldquogone all haywirerdquo

The patientrsquos wife stated Dotson recognized

the emergency analyzed the situation and

jumped to action to get the medications the

patient needed started as quickly as possible

She continued to monitor his treatment and

progress all day and showed genuine concern

for his wellbeing To put it into perspective this

patientrsquos wife thought her husband was going

to die and she was so thankful that Dotson was

there to care for him with persistence

and expertise

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo

Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal

information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically

difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice

Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending

to be an actual employee or someone

providing a service such as an equipment

repairman asking for help to access a

building or logging into a workstation

n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be

someone in a position of authority within the

organization such as saying he or she is the

CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and

needs your help quickly

n Conformity - the attacker attempts to

convince the person that everyone else

has performed the action requested or

management has approved it such as

asking for your password and saying

everyone else has provided theirs

n Shoulder surfing -

this refers to any direct

observation of sensitive

information such as

observing someone

keying in a PIN or

password information

that is displayed on computer

monitors or personnel forms left

on a desk with social security

numbers exposed

If you have any questions or suspect

a possible scam please contact the

Information Services Security department

via the Service Desk at 2027565 or

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old

operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization

Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become

unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a

secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating

system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications

Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff

will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7

Specific details are coming soon

INFORMATION

August2014 7

Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication

method for direct quick informal messages and can be

less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for

health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way

that wonrsquot compromise patient information

After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting

solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health

currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and

out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out

will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar

Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality

beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon

Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages

n Message stats and read receipts

n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups

Secure texting is coming soon

Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care

coordination for our patients is to provide a

summary of care to help make each transition

of care smoother This requires the use of

Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)

As we build toward exchanging CCDs

electronically with providers inside and outside

of Baptist we will initially need to print out the

transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart

at right)

It is important to reinforce security of this

personal health information we are putting in

the patientrsquos hands

wwwMyBHschedulecom This means that by

using a computer connected to the Internet

employees are able to submit schedule

requests participate in team scheduling

sign up for open shifts swap shifts with other

team members and view their current and

future schedules

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia

in July It enables the whole team to participate

in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census

and acuity In the past filling immediate need

nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly

high fluctuation in patient demand has meant

the time-consuming effort of locating a list of

eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving

messages and waiting for return calls

With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are

transmitted electronically to team members

within seconds via SMS text email and

interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts

are broadcast through three different avenues

managers are assured that the messages are

accessible at any time of the day or night

In todayrsquos health care environment rapid

communication and information availability

Keeping connected with Clairvia

are critical in helping

hospitals and

Welcome new Foundation team members

Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE

vice president of Operations and

Specialty Services was named

among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by

The Jacksonville Business Journal

The award recognizes north Florida

women for business achievements

and community involvement

Thomas was recognized for leading

the implementation of Baptist

Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular

Center She led a multidisciplinary

operations team to launch the new center with

the goal of creating the most comprehensive

stroke center in the region To accomplish

this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a

multidisciplinary team including clinical and

operational staff all within a three month time

frame

This effort required simultaneously transforming

four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated

state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-

hospital Since the opening of the new center

on March 17 more than 300 procedures have

been performed

ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would

otherwise have been transferred out of the

community for the complex care they requiredrdquo

said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president

and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive

whose passion has made a significant difference

in improving the health of our communityrdquo

As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care

Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs

throughout the system

In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by

adding several directors of development and other key professional

staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist

Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form

volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating

soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also

work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested

in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new

development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with

the growing number of corporations and young families who want to

be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health

With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private

support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an

end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts

and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best

way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to

infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five

to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most

critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure

Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless

they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented

medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to

wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season

When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during

Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations

across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for

more information

What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all

team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot

through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health

care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee

Health office no later than Nov 30 2014

What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other

than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo

Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal

information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically

difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice

Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending

to be an actual employee or someone

providing a service such as an equipment

repairman asking for help to access a

building or logging into a workstation

n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be

someone in a position of authority within the

organization such as saying he or she is the

CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and

needs your help quickly

n Conformity - the attacker attempts to

convince the person that everyone else

has performed the action requested or

management has approved it such as

asking for your password and saying

everyone else has provided theirs

n Shoulder surfing -

this refers to any direct

observation of sensitive

information such as

observing someone

keying in a PIN or

password information

that is displayed on computer

monitors or personnel forms left

on a desk with social security

numbers exposed

If you have any questions or suspect

a possible scam please contact the

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old

operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization

Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become

unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a

secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating

system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications

Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff

will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7

Specific details are coming soon

INFORMATION

August2014 7

Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication

method for direct quick informal messages and can be

less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for

health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way

that wonrsquot compromise patient information

After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting

solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health

currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and

out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out

will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar

Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality

beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon

Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages

n Message stats and read receipts

n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups

Secure texting is coming soon

Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care

coordination for our patients is to provide a

summary of care to help make each transition

of care smoother This requires the use of

Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)

As we build toward exchanging CCDs

electronically with providers inside and outside

of Baptist we will initially need to print out the

transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart

at right)

It is important to reinforce security of this

personal health information we are putting in

the patientrsquos hands

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia

in July It enables the whole team to participate

in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census

the time-consuming effort of locating a list of

eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving

messages and waiting for return calls

With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are

transmitted electronically to team members

within seconds via SMS text email and

interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts

are broadcast through three different avenues

managers are assured that the messages are

accessible at any time of the day or night

Welcome new Foundation team members

Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE

vice president of Operations and

Specialty Services was named

among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by

The Jacksonville Business Journal

The award recognizes north Florida

women for business achievements

and community involvement

Thomas was recognized for leading

the implementation of Baptist

Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular

Center She led a multidisciplinary

operations team to launch the new center with

the goal of creating the most comprehensive

stroke center in the region To accomplish

this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a

multidisciplinary team including clinical and

operational staff all within a three month time

frame

This effort required simultaneously transforming

four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated

state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-

hospital Since the opening of the new center

on March 17 more than 300 procedures have

been performed

ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would

otherwise have been transferred out of the

community for the complex care they requiredrdquo

said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president

and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive

whose passion has made a significant difference

in improving the health of our communityrdquo

As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care

Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs

throughout the system

In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by

adding several directors of development and other key professional

staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist

Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form

volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating

soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also

work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested

in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new

development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with

the growing number of corporations and young families who want to

be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health

With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private

support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an

end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts

and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best

way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to

infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five

to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most

critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure

Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless

they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented

medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to

wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season

When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during

Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations

across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for

more information

What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all

team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot

through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health

care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee

Health office no later than Nov 30 2014

What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other

than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

the US to use a new stent and procedure

that treats cysts formed from injury to the

pancreas Ten sites in the US are part of

a clinical trial that enrolls patients with

pancreatic pseudocysts Gastroenterologist

InFORMATIOn SERvICES

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo

Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal

information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically

difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice

Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending

to be an actual employee or someone

providing a service such as an equipment

repairman asking for help to access a

building or logging into a workstation

n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be

someone in a position of authority within the

organization such as saying he or she is the

CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and

needs your help quickly

n Conformity - the attacker attempts to

convince the person that everyone else

has performed the action requested or

management has approved it such as

asking for your password and saying

everyone else has provided theirs

n Shoulder surfing -

this refers to any direct

observation of sensitive

information such as

observing someone

keying in a PIN or

password information

that is displayed on computer

monitors or personnel forms left

on a desk with social security

numbers exposed

If you have any questions or suspect

a possible scam please contact the

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old

operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization

Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become

unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a

secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating

system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications

Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff

will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7

Specific details are coming soon

INFORMATION

August2014 7

Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication

method for direct quick informal messages and can be

less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for

health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way

that wonrsquot compromise patient information

After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting

solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health

currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and

out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out

will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar

Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality

beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon

Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages

n Message stats and read receipts

n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups

Secure texting is coming soon

Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care

coordination for our patients is to provide a

summary of care to help make each transition

of care smoother This requires the use of

Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)

As we build toward exchanging CCDs

electronically with providers inside and outside

of Baptist we will initially need to print out the

transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart

at right)

It is important to reinforce security of this

personal health information we are putting in

the patientrsquos hands

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia

in July It enables the whole team to participate

in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census

nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly

high fluctuation in patient demand has meant

the time-consuming effort of locating a list of

eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving

messages and waiting for return calls

With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are

transmitted electronically to team members

within seconds via SMS text email and

interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts

are broadcast through three different avenues

managers are assured that the messages are

accessible at any time of the day or night

In todayrsquos health care environment rapid

Welcome new Foundation team members

Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE

vice president of Operations and

Specialty Services was named

among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by

The Jacksonville Business Journal

The award recognizes north Florida

women for business achievements

and community involvement

Thomas was recognized for leading

the implementation of Baptist

Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular

Center She led a multidisciplinary

operations team to launch the new center with

the goal of creating the most comprehensive

stroke center in the region To accomplish

this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a

multidisciplinary team including clinical and

operational staff all within a three month time

frame

This effort required simultaneously transforming

four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated

state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-

hospital Since the opening of the new center

on March 17 more than 300 procedures have

been performed

ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would

otherwise have been transferred out of the

community for the complex care they requiredrdquo

said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president

and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive

whose passion has made a significant difference

in improving the health of our communityrdquo

As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care

Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs

throughout the system

In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by

adding several directors of development and other key professional

staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist

Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form

volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating

soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also

work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested

in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new

development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with

the growing number of corporations and young families who want to

be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health

With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private

support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an

end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts

and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best

way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to

infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five

to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most

critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure

Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless

they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented

medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to

wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season

When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during

Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations

across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for

more information

What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all

team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot

through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health

care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee

Health office no later than Nov 30 2014

What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other

than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication

method for direct quick informal messages and can be

less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for

health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way

that wonrsquot compromise patient information

After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting

solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health

currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and

out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out

will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar

Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality

beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon

Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages

n Message stats and read receipts

n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups

Secure texting is coming soon

Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care

coordination for our patients is to provide a

summary of care to help make each transition

of care smoother This requires the use of

Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)

As we build toward exchanging CCDs

electronically with providers inside and outside

of Baptist we will initially need to print out the

transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart

at right)

It is important to reinforce security of this

personal health information we are putting in

wwwMyBHschedulecom This means that by

using a computer connected to the Internet

employees are able to submit schedule

requests participate in team scheduling

sign up for open shifts swap shifts with other

team members and view their current and

future schedules

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia

in July It enables the whole team to participate

in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census

and acuity In the past filling immediate need

nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly

high fluctuation in patient demand has meant

the time-consuming effort of locating a list of

eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving

messages and waiting for return calls

With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are

transmitted electronically to team members

within seconds via SMS text email and

interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts

are broadcast through three different avenues

managers are assured that the messages are

accessible at any time of the day or night

In todayrsquos health care environment rapid

communication and information availability

Keeping connected with Clairvia

Welcome new Foundation team members

Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE

vice president of Operations and

Specialty Services was named

among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by

The Jacksonville Business Journal

The award recognizes north Florida

women for business achievements

and community involvement

Thomas was recognized for leading

the implementation of Baptist

Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular

Center She led a multidisciplinary

operations team to launch the new center with

the goal of creating the most comprehensive

stroke center in the region To accomplish

this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a

multidisciplinary team including clinical and

operational staff all within a three month time

frame

This effort required simultaneously transforming

four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated

state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-

hospital Since the opening of the new center

on March 17 more than 300 procedures have

been performed

ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would

otherwise have been transferred out of the

community for the complex care they requiredrdquo

said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president

and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive

whose passion has made a significant difference

in improving the health of our communityrdquo

As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care

Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs

throughout the system

In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by

adding several directors of development and other key professional

staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist

Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form

volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating

soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also

work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested

in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new

development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with

the growing number of corporations and young families who want to

be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health

With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private

support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an

end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts

and pledges

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Clairvia is the staffing scheduling and acuity system being used on inpatient units at Baptist Jacksonville Nassau South Beaches and Wolfson Childrenrsquos Emergency centers (including Clay) will start using Clairvia in December 2014Clairvia is a web-based program that

allows clinical staff access anytime at

wwwMyBHschedulecom This means that by

using a computer connected to the Internet

employees are able to submit schedule

requests participate in team scheduling

sign up for open shifts swap shifts with other

team members and view their current and

future schedules

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia

in July It enables the whole team to participate

in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census

and acuity In the past filling immediate need

nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly

high fluctuation in patient demand has meant

the time-consuming effort of locating a list of

eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving

messages and waiting for return calls

With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are

transmitted electronically to team members

within seconds via SMS text email and

interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts

are broadcast through three different avenues

managers are assured that the messages are

accessible at any time of the day or night

In todayrsquos health care environment rapid

communication and information availability

Keeping connected with Clairvia

Welcome new Foundation team members

Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE

vice president of Operations and

Specialty Services was named

among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by

The Jacksonville Business Journal

The award recognizes north Florida

women for business achievements

and community involvement

Thomas was recognized for leading

the implementation of Baptist

Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular

Center She led a multidisciplinary

operations team to launch the new center with

the goal of creating the most comprehensive

stroke center in the region To accomplish

this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a

multidisciplinary team including clinical and

operational staff all within a three month time

frame

This effort required simultaneously transforming

four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated

state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-

hospital Since the opening of the new center

on March 17 more than 300 procedures have

been performed

ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would

otherwise have been transferred out of the

community for the complex care they requiredrdquo

said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president

and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive

whose passion has made a significant difference

in improving the health of our communityrdquo

As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care

Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs

throughout the system

In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by

adding several directors of development and other key professional

staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist

Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form

volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating

soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also

work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested

in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new

development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with

the growing number of corporations and young families who want to

be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health

With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private

support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an

end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts

and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best

way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to

infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five

to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most

critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure

Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless

they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented

medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to

wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season

When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during

Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations

across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for

more information

What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all

team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot

through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health

care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee

Health office no later than Nov 30 2014

What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other

than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Welcome new Foundation team members

Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE

vice president of Operations and

Specialty Services was named

among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by

The Jacksonville Business Journal

The award recognizes north Florida

women for business achievements

and community involvement

Thomas was recognized for leading

the implementation of Baptist

Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular

Center She led a multidisciplinary

operations team to launch the new center with

the goal of creating the most comprehensive

stroke center in the region To accomplish

this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a

multidisciplinary team including clinical and

operational staff all within a three month time

frame

This effort required simultaneously transforming

four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated

state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-

hospital Since the opening of the new center

on March 17 more than 300 procedures have

been performed

ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would

otherwise have been transferred out of the

community for the complex care they requiredrdquo

said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president

and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive

whose passion has made a significant difference

in improving the health of our communityrdquo

As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care

Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs

throughout the system

In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by

adding several directors of development and other key professional

staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist

Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form

volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating

soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also

work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested

in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new

development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with

the growing number of corporations and young families who want to

be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health

With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private

support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an

end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts

and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best

way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to

infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five

to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most

critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure

Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless

they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented

medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to

wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season

When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during

Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations

across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for

more information

What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all

team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot

through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health

care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee

Health office no later than Nov 30 2014

What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other

than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Welcome new Foundation team members

Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE

vice president of Operations and

Specialty Services was named

among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by

The Jacksonville Business Journal

The award recognizes north Florida

women for business achievements

and community involvement

Thomas was recognized for leading

the implementation of Baptist

Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular

Center She led a multidisciplinary

operations team to launch the new center with

the goal of creating the most comprehensive

stroke center in the region To accomplish

this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a

multidisciplinary team including clinical and

operational staff all within a three month time

frame

This effort required simultaneously transforming

four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated

state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-

hospital Since the opening of the new center

on March 17 more than 300 procedures have

been performed

ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would

otherwise have been transferred out of the

community for the complex care they requiredrdquo

said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president

and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive

whose passion has made a significant difference

in improving the health of our communityrdquo

As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care

Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs

throughout the system

In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by

adding several directors of development and other key professional

staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist

Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form

volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating

soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also

work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested

in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new

development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with

the growing number of corporations and young families who want to

be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health

With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private

support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an

end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts

and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best

way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to

infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five

to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most

critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure

Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless

they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented

medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to

wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season

When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during

Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations

across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for

more information

What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all

team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot

through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health

care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee

Health office no later than Nov 30 2014

What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other

than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best

way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to

infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five

to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most

critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure

Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless

they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented

medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to

wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season

When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during

Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations

across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for

more information

What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all

team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot

through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health

care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee

Health office no later than Nov 30 2014

What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other

than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication

or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work

Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville

What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for

projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also

appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There

were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly

of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU

managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth

of encouragement and support

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-

Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard

and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my

practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those

who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was

involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my

academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all

four levels of my ExCEL journey

What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses

to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found

such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and

professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been

impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to

any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence

After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN

degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career

and has a strong passion for palliative care

Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100

Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a

palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care

Program coordinator

August2014 13

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened

to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-

friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession

How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program

no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition

and compensation are based on a point value

system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore

Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return

and then complete additional activities to

accrue points earning more recognition and

increased compensation

Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully

completed hospital and unit orientation and

are past the probationary period are eligible

Exempt from participation are advance

practice nurses directors managers

nurse navigators and educators

How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be

found on the ExCEL homepage

What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply

for ExCEL The first registration period will be in

September The second will be in March 2015

Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL

program runs for 12 months

medications When Dotson arrived on duty the

second day of his stay she recognized that his

blood pressure and heart rate were extremely

high and his Afib had ldquogone all haywirerdquo

The patientrsquos wife stated Dotson recognized

the emergency analyzed the situation and

jumped to action to get the medications the

patient needed started as quickly as possible

She continued to monitor his treatment and

progress all day and showed genuine concern

for his wellbeing To put it into perspective this

the emergency analyzed the situation and

jumped to action to get the medications the
