Bethesda Health hospitals in Greater West Palm Beach, Florida,
have found the winning combination of cutting-edge technology,
strong leadership, and a culture of teamwork to attract top sur-
geons, clinicians, and nursing leaders. New job openings mean a se-
lect group of perioperative nurses can be a part of this rewarding
care environment.
BUILDING A CULTURE OF CARING
“Success in today’s perioperative setting can only happen if we are
truly serving our patients by creating a caring environment where
every team member is empowered to share input and fulfill oppor-
tunities to continually advance their practice,” said Roger Len
Royal, RN, BA, CNOR, Director of Surgical Services for Bethesda
Hospital East and Bethesda Hospital West.
Royal leads under a shared governance model in which his nurs-
ing staff members have autonomy and can express concerns. His staff
nurses also play an active role in leadership committees to ensure
nursing experts have a strong voice in helping to shape their practice.
Patient-centered care is also important at Bethesda Health.
Monthly perioperative seminars allow perioperative clinicians to con-
nect with future patients to discuss specific surgical procedures or get
hands-on experience with OR technology, such as surgical robots.
ADVANCING CARE WITH CUTTING-EDGE
TECHNOLOGIES
As part of its patient-focused care, Bethesda Health continues to in-
troduce new perioperative technologies to improve patient out-
comes and advance coordinated care in the OR. For example,
within Bethesda Hospital East’s 13 OR suites, a new endourology
robotic surgery program was recently launched. Bethesda Hospital
West, which opened in 2013 and includes three OR suites, now in-
cludes a highly advanced endovascular hybrid OR suite.
Both East and West hospitals include integrated ORs with ad-
vanced technologies, such as those that enable digital imaging ac-
quisition and display and touchscreen mobile devices for nurses to
manage various technology in the room from one location.
“It’s been an exciting process to introduce these new technolo-
gies and witness firsthand the benefits to our staff nurses in stream-
lining their workflow,” Royal acknowledged.
CONTINUING A PATHWAY TO EXCELLENCE
In 2013, Bethesda Health was designated an ANCC Pathway to
Excellence® organization, a hard-earned accolade that Royal’s
nurses played a key role in achieving. Royal said a focus on excel-
lence in daily work and in professional development is something
he and his managerial staff members promote and encourage
among the nursing staff members.
“True excellence starts with leadership and Roger’s leadership of
our perioperative departments exemplifies excellence,” said Duarte
Mendonca, Recruitment and Employee Relations Manager for
Bethesda Health. “He listens, he believes in his people, and he
knows that creating a strong, productive, engaging workplace cul-
ture inspires every team member to give their best to their patients
and their coworkers.”
