\"Redcliffe

Your last chance to submit a nomination.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

We had the encouraging news this week that Metro North Health has now stood down to Tier 1 in our\u00a0Acute Respiratory Illness Response Plan<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

The change means we have returned to face-to-face meetings. However, nothing has changed about our continued attention to hand hygiene and infection prevention practices.<\/p>\n

All hospital staff continue to be encouraged to wear masks in clinical areas, in line with the PPE guidelines, and we continue to make masks and hand sanitiser available at all entrances for staff, patients, and visitors.<\/p>\n

As always, if you are unwell, please stay home.<\/p>\n

If there’s anything you don’t understand about being on Tier 1, please talk to your line manager.<\/p>\n

Staff Excellence Awards – Nominations close tonight<\/h3>\n

Hand hygiene bed brackets<\/h3>\n

\"HandAs part of our ongoing commitment to hand hygiene, every bed in Redcliffe Hospital will soon be fitted with new brackets, allowing staff immediate and easy access to Angel Care Hand Gel.<\/p>\n

These new brackets are vital patient safety equipment and must not be removed.<\/p>\n

The brackets and ready access to hand gel make it even easier for everyone to observe the\u00a0five moments for hand hygiene<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ieMR project launch<\/h3>\n

ieMR will be going live at Redcliffe Hospital on 15 May 2024. We officially launched the Redcliffe Hospital ieMR project this week with the help of our Digital Metro North colleagues.<\/p>\n

More than 200 people joined that launch event to hear more about how ieMR will help our patients and what the pathway to ieMR will look like at Redcliffe.<\/p>\n

For those unable to join, a presentation slide pack is available.<\/a><\/p>\n

As part of the launch, there was a video featuring Redcliffe Hospital staff from across the hospital discussing why they\u2019re excited about the ieMR coming to Redcliffe. If you haven’t seen it yet, it can be viewed online.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"SeveralNow that the project has been launched, from next week, we can expect to see staff from the ieMR Program visiting hospital areas to collect information about workflows in different clinical areas.<\/p>\n

This information will inform the \u2018workflow review\u2019 and \u2018future state validation\u2019 bodies of work outlined in the project timeline.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions, please email the ieMR Program team at\u00a0ieMRProject-MetroNorth@health.qld.gov.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next week<\/h3>\n

\"RedcliffeWith the Ekka public holiday on Monday for Moreton Bay, thank you to everyone working over the long weekend caring for patients.<\/p>\n

Next Tuesday, we have our next\u00a0#IamRedcliffe<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Staff Lunch to look forward to, with delicious soups on offer from 11am in the Staff Courtyard.<\/p>\n

Our user groups for the Redcliffe Hospital Expansion start meeting next week. Thank you again to everyone who nominated to join those, and to our consumers who will be helping inform the schematic design of our new clinical services building.<\/p>\n

I’ll be on leave from Wednesday night, and while I’m away, Geoff Grima will be acting as Executive Director. David Thompson from Caboolture will backfill Geoff’s role as Allied Health Director while I’m away.<\/p>\n

See you all when I’m back from Ireland!<\/p>\n<\/div>
