West Cluster Meeting April 1, 2009

West Cluster Meeting April 1, 2009

Present: Becky, Mark, Doug, Kelly, Sean, Esma, Timieko, Jason and Star

Discussion about vitals station; should we build a room around the current nursing station or get extra equipment? Since it may just be 1.5 – 2 yrs before we get a new building maybe we can just get by without construction. We will try with maybe just another scale and a thermometer and see how this goes. Becky will order scale and thermometer.

Tackle box- providers could consult and give nursing staff a list of what would be useful in a kit to take to rooms for joint injections rather than providers going to the West injection supply room for supplies. We can buy the tackle box(es 1-2) and submit the receipt for reimbursement.

Discussion about 5th provider seating; Becky checked with building contractors and no sinks can be removed from current provider offices without a lot of added expense. If someone who is not working with patients can just have a safe place to put their personal belongings; they can use:
1. Room 127 or this can be converted into Dr. Knopp’s office
2. Can put a computer into Christina, RN’s previous space
3. Can put another station into one of the current provider offices

Meeting closed at 1:40PM

Star Morales, CMA
