Georgia Baptist College of Nursing

Next Annual Alumni Day - Friday, October 19, 2012

See information below from Alumni Day 2011!

Morning Session Topic - "How Safe Are Our Patients?  Quality and Safety in Patient Care"
Closer scrutiny is being imposed on hospitals by consumers and governmental payors who no longer accept that negative outcomes cannot be prevented.  Demands are being made that  the healthcare industry as a whole rapidly change the methods of teaching and training personnel in order to decrease the chance of “preventable harm outcomes." Emphasizing that the “simple and obvious” are often not  carried out, includes procedures such  as falls assessment, proper medication history and medication administration and proper and frequent checks throughout the night.  Obviously these are areas that affect all healthcare professional and all consumers, and would therefore behoove us all to be better  informed.  GNA contact hours will be awarded for the morning session.
