Identifying critical events and enhancing the level of patient safety provided has always been a priority at Flushing Hospital Medical Center (FHMC).
The Good Catch program was created to further advance these efforts and provide employees with an opportunity to share their interventions and accomplishments.The program highlights our dedication to patient safety and helps to reduce the percentage of adverse patient outcomes.
Each month, at the FHMC Department Head Meeting, employees that have demonstrated their commitment to ensuring the safety of our patients are recognized and awarded for their efforts.
Last month’s recipients of the Good Catch Award were Anita Rojas, from the Department of Pathology and Phlebotomy, Francis Simeon and Xiao Ping You, from the Department of Nursing, Michael De Grosa and Danny Chun (not pictured) from the Pharmacy and Dr. James Giglio, Chairman of the Emergency Department.
“Patient Safety is a priority at Flushing
