All submissions will be sent to the Patient Safety Officer and shared with the Good Catch Committee for implementation. Everyone who submits a report will be recognized with a personalized thank you card and those who submit a noteworthy entry will receive an Excellence in Patient Safety award from Administration for their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The Good Catch program is currently being piloted on the hospital\u2019s pediatric and surgical units. The plan is to eventually expand the program throughout the hospital in the near future. \u201cPatient Safety is a priority for the institution and our hospital staff play an integral role in designing safe systems for the delivery of patient care,\u201d stated Rehana.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Good Catch program, please contact Rehana Jamali at 718-670-8793.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareIdentifying critical events and improving the level of patient safety provided has always been a priority at Flushing Hospital Medical Center.
