Greetings from WellStar Paulding Hospital! We hope you had a great Labor Day, and we are excited to give you an update as we move into the fall season. For the last year, we have been slowly creating a “mock patient room” for the new replacement facility. This room has been through much iteration, and it has evolved into what will be the exact inpatient room once the hospital opens in April 2014. What once started as wooden planks and cardboard walls now has become a gorgeous replica of what we will see in the future WellStar Paulding Hospital.
Throughout the design of the mock room, WellStar Paulding Hospital team members were invited to tour the space and give their feedback. Serving as subject matter experts, team members provided us with specific feedback, which prompted revision to the design to better meet the needs of our patients, physicians, staff, and families. These changes will enhance our ability to provide the highest quality of care in a patient centered environment.
As a reward for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit the mock room and give us feedback, each team member was entered into a drawing to win one of two 40” flat screen televisions (exact replicas of what will go in the patient rooms). Shared Governance teams from the third floor and ED each drew one name. David White from Facilities Engineering and Ken Cole from IT were the winners!
Thanks for your great feedback—your opinions are shaping the hospital we will see in April 2014!
