CHOP and Einstein Announce Alliance
We recently announced great news about our alliance with The Children’s Hospital
of Philadelphia (CHOP) that brings together Einstein’s exceptional women’s health
and maternity care and CHOP’s world-class neonatology and pediatric emergency
care to deliver comprehensive maternal and neonatal services at Einstein Medical
Center Montgomery.
As you know, Einstein has been looking for new ways to partner with others to
deliver high-quality care and to expand our reach in the Philadelphia region.
Teaming up with CHOP, the nation’s first pediatric hospital, fits with our long-
standing commitment to meeting the healthcare needs of women and babies and
allows us to develop a variety of exciting programs and services. To meet the
needs of these programs, we will be making enhancements at EMCM, including
additions to our Labor & Delivery unit and other facility expansions.
When we made the commitment to build Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, it
was our goal to bring high-quality healthcare services to central Montgomery
County that weren’t available locally. We’ve done that with regional service lines
such as Bariatrics, CT Surgery, Orthopedics/Spine and Neurosurgery. Our alliance
with CHOP provides another way for us to give patients the best care, close to
where they live.
Next Steps: For this initiative to deliver a seamless patient experience, Einstein
and CHOP will need to work together in clinical service areas such as Obstetrics,
Maternal Fetal Medicine, Neonatal Intensive Care and Pediatric Emergency Care.
Work on that is already underway, but it will take some time. We expect CHOP to
begin providing neonatal services at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery this
year.
We will continue to provide you with updates on this initiative. Thank you for your
continued commitment and support of Einstein. Your hard work makes a big
difference to our patients, their family members and the communities we serve.
New Pay Increase Announced to Mark 150th Anniversary
As a way of saying “thank you“ to Einstein staff on the occasion of our 150th
anniversary, eligible employees will be receiving a 1 percent increase to their base
salary, effective August 7th, 2016. This increase is in addition to the pay-for-
performance 2 percent increase that was previously announced, and will be
calculated based on an employee’s base pay after the latter goes into effect June
26th. Annual healthcare premiums will not be affected by either increase.
Certain job classifications are not eligible for this new increase, including CEO,
Residents, Fellows, Executives, Vice Presidents, Per Diems, Temporary, Weekend
Program and Employed Physicians; and certain other restrictions apply to
employees on inactive status, in grant funded positions, or at the top of their pay
range. Please see your HR Service Specialist for more details.
In announcing this latest increase, Chief Executive Officer and President Barry
Freedman said, “Thank you for everything you have done to help Einstein continue
the legacy that was started 150 years ago and that you continue to do to prepare
us for the future!“

EMCP Pediatrics Department
Pursues Advocacy Projects
On June 7th, the Einstein Department of Pediatrics held
a Residents’ Advocacy Grand Rounds event, highlighting
several major projects executed in the past academic
year:
I Teen Career Day was held on April 2nd in Gouley
Auditorium to address local youth who may be
uncertain what to do after high school graduation.
More than 30 teens attended the event. Batul Kaj,
MD, and her team gave mock interviews, helped the
attendees build resumes, answered career choice
questions, provided breakfast and lunch, and
brought “vendors“ from various institutions and
technical schools onsite to assist.
I A group of residents, led by Sabaa Alvi, MD, went
to D. Newlin Fell School in South Philadelphia to talk
to the students about hunger (locally and
worldwide) and its effects on children and their
development. (Did you know that Philadelphia has
the second highest rate of hunger for school-aged
children in the United States? Food insecurity is a big
problem in our area.)
I Andrea Zivot, MD, Sandra Guerguis, MD, and Azada
Ibrahimova, MD, attended a “Pre-K for PA“
legislative advocacy day in Harrisburg. This lobbying
organization is asking the state legislature to
increase funding for high-quality pre-kindergarten by
$90 million in Fiscal Year 2016-17.
I Additional efforts included substance abuse
counseling during pregnancy (led by Sweta
Mohanty, MD), fundraising for the Nepal earthquake
(led by Sharina Rajbhandari, MD), and a school talk
on asthma (led by Jessica Geaney, MD).
The department intends to repeat some of these
programs on an annual basis. Pediatric Administrative
Coordinator Carole Andretta says, “In Peds, we are
passionate about families and children.“
New Outpatient Care Center
Coming Soon to King of Prussia
Einstein Healthcare Network is proud to announce that
we will be opening a new outpatient care center at 210
Mall Boulevard in King of Prussia this July. Construction
is well underway on this expansive, 30,000-square-foot
space where Einstein will offer primary and specialty

orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, an outpatient
lab, outpatient radiology for diagnostic imaging, and a
suite for other specialty medical services such as
neurosurgery, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, pain
management, urology, podiatry and cardiology.
The health complex also will house a MossRehab
outpatient site and new location for King of Prussia
Family Medicine, which is relocating to this site from its
current building on Henderson Road.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our ambulatory
presence in the King of Prussia area,“ said Beth Duffy,
Chief Operating Officer of Einstein Medical Center
Montgomery. “Patients will have the convenience of
being treated in their neighborhood, with access to the
depth and breadth of the expertise of an outstanding
major medical center.“
The outpatient care center in King of Prussia is the latest
development in our growth strategy to expand our
network’s reach and bring comprehensive medical care
to the various markets that Einstein serves. Other similar
centers include Center One, Einstein at Germantown,
Einstein Healthcare Network Holmesburg, Einstein
Healthcare Network Collegeville, and Einstein
Healthcare Network Plymouth Meeting.

TAVR Heart Procedure
Now Offered at EMCM
Einstein Medical Center Montgomery is now
providing a new option for high-risk heart patients
– transcatheter valve replacement, or TAVR. This
procedure is for select patients with severe aortic
stenosis who are not candidates for traditional
open chest surgery. The minimally invasive surgical
procedure repairs the valve without removing the
old damaged valve, similar to a stent placement.
Previously, patients needing the procedure had to
travel outside of central Montgomery County.
During this procedure, a biological heart valve
(sourced from a cow) is inserted into the aorta through
the leg or the chest using a catheter and a balloon.
The new stented, prosthetic valve functions like a
normal, healthy valve as soon as the inflated balloon
that moves it into place is removed from the patient.
The benefits of TAVR include a small incision, faster
recovery, and less pain and discomfort for the patient.
Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart
disease in the U.S. Without treatment, severe cases
may result in death. Approximately 30 percent of
patients with aortic stenosis are considered high risk.
Einstein Healthcare Network’s Cardiothoracic Surgery
team was the first to provide transcatheter aortic valve
replacement in Philadelphia.
EMCM Hosts Photo Exhibit by
PA Breast Cancer Coalition
Einstein Medical Center Montgomery was recently the
site of the PA Breast Cancer Coalition’s (PBCC) new
traveling photo exhibit, 67 Women, 67 Counties: Facing
Breast Cancer in PA. This special exhibit features photos
of women from across the state, and shares their
personal stories about how breast cancer has touched
their lives and the effect it has had on their families,
friends and communities. The exhibit serves as a
reminder that breast cancer knows no boundaries – it is
the most common cancer in women worldwide and does
not discriminate based on age, race, religion,
socioeconomic status or location.
A kickoff reception featuring local breast cancer
survivors, local legislators, and representatives from
PBCC and Einstein was held on Tuesday, May 17th. In his
opening remarks, Einstein President and CEO Barry
Freedman commented, “When it comes to the fight
against breast cancer, the PBCC and Einstein share a
common mission: We want to educate people about the
importance of screenings and early detection, empower
women, save lives, and end breast cancer forever.“ He
mentioned the trailblazing role that Einstein has played
in breast health dating back to the 1950s, when Dr.
Jacob Gershon-Cohen, widely regarded as the “Father
of Mammography,“ began using mammograms to
screen healthy women for breast cancer. “Today, we are
celebrating the hope, determination and courage of our
patients and all the women and families dealing with this
disease statewide,“ Freedman added. “At Einstein, we
remain committed to providing high-quality women’s
health services.“
PBCC President & Founder Pat Halpin-Murphy (pictured
above), herself a breast cancer survivor, noted, “The
women in our photo exhibit show the true face of breast
cancer in Pennsylvania. They are mothers, wives, aunts,
sisters, daughters and friends.“
The photo exhibit will continue to tour the state in the
coming months. For more information, visit

MossRehab Launches New Ad Campaign
MossRehab recently launched a new “Challenge
Accepted“ advertising campaign that consists of a TV
commercial, billboards and print ads.
The new TV spot, called “Step,“ focuses on that
moment in the rehab journey when, together with his
or her therapist or clinician, the patient embraces the
challenge ahead, and works to reach whatever
personal goal he or she has set. And once the first
goal is met, the patient is again challenged with the
next target to meet. It’s a truly relatable moment that
captures the spirit of “Challenge Accepted“ and the
work done with our rehab patients, day in and day
out.
Similarly, each of the new billboards and print ads has
been designed to capture a person’s struggle and
triumph through his or her expression and body
language. These are real people – actual MossRehab
patients – revealing their inner strength.
Some of the places you may see the campaign at
different times over the next few months include:
I CBS3, 6ABC, NBC10, PHL-17, FOX 29, CW 57,
A&E, BET, BRAVO, Comcast SportsNet,
DISCOVERY, HGTV, TNT, SYFY during morning
and evening hours
I On XfinityTV.net, Xfinity.com and ESPN live sports
streaming online
I On billboards along heavily traveled roads in the
greater Philadelphia region.
TV show placement highlights include:
I “Jimmy Kimmel Game Night,“ Stanley Cup
playoffs, Phillies games, Philadelphia Union
matches, Tony Awards, U.S. Open Finals
I Season finales of “The Big Bang Theory,“
“Blindspot,“ “Blue Bloods,“ “Chicago Fire,“
“Dancing with the Stars,“ “Hawaii Five-0,“ “Mike

The Mayfair practice has six providers and a support
staff of 13 to care for approximately 8,000 patients
(ages five and up) each year. The practice was formed
about 16 years ago after combining several
neighborhood practices into one under Einstein’s
ownership.
The practice is our model NCQA Level 3 Patient
Centered Medical Home and has set goals to
continuously improve their quality of patient care. The
practice is piloting a new staffing model that removes
phones from the front desk and allows front desk staff
to focus on the patient in front of them while
dedicated phone staff can address call-in patients
without interruption. They are hopeful this method will
improve patient satisfaction.
In another initiative, they hosted two shared group
visit for Diabetics. Group visits give patients with like
conditions an opportunity to come together to
support each other and problem solve. The group was
led by ECHA Medical Director, Christopher Joseph
Scaven, DO. Eleven patients attended the group
session that featured a diabetic educator, podiatrist,
fitness/nutritional consultant and a stress
management/yoga instructor. The feedback was
positive.
The practice also has an RN Navigator that works with
complex patients doing proactive outreach, patient
education and care coordination.
The pratice is located at 7131-39 Frankford Avenue.

team who champions infection
prevention efforts within his or her organization.
“Ms. Duffy has been a tremendous supporter of
infection prevention and patient safety at EMCM
and sets an example for other leaders,“ said APIC
2016 President Susan Dolan, RN, MS, CIC. “Her
backing included allocating appropriate financial
and personnel resources to ensure successful
implementation of infection prevention initiatives
that have improved patient safety and quality of
care.“
The group recognized that Duffy’s advocacy for
infection prevention has made a significant impact at
EMCM. For example, APIC noted that her support
was instrumental in the success of the “Wash
In/Wash Out“ campaign to increase hand hygiene
compliance, which exceeded its goal with 87
percent compliance. Other actions that the
organization honored Duffy for were increasing the
number of positions in the EMCM Infection Control
Department, helping to troubleshoot roadblocks,
educating staff on the importance of prevention
initiatives, and providing leadership on infection
prevention action groups. APIC’s mission is to create
a safer world through prevention of infection. For

Recognition
EMCM Employee Honored as
“Veteran of Influence“
Tom Gaylets, Jr., Assistant
Vice President, Nurse and
Manager of the
Interventional Platform at
Einstein Medical Center
Montgomery, has been
named one of the Greater
Philadelphia region’s 2016
“Veterans of Influence“ by the Philadelphia Business
Journal.
For Gaylets, love of country and respect for all those who
served in the U.S. armed services are deeply ingrained.
His father was captured during the Korean War and
spent two and a half years as a prisoner of war. The
experience made Gaylets, Sr. a devout patriot, thankful
for the freedoms and abundance of his country, and he
became an activist on behalf of veterans. Inspired by his
father, Gaylets, Jr. joined the U.S. Marine Corps after
high school and then went to nursing school. The
American flag that now flies outside Einstein
Montgomery belonged to his dad.
Gaylets, Jr. has found several ways to honor his
patriotism in the context of his career, by creating two
programs at EMCM to recognize military veterans. Every
veteran who’s an inpatient receives a large, oval magnet
decorated with an American Flag and stating “Thank You
for Your Service“ that is placed on the hospital door
frame. “Anyone walking by will see it and may express
gratitude or engage the veteran in conversation,“
Gaylets says.
In addition, veterans who come in for a diagnostic or
surgical procedure at EMCM receive white caps covered
with American flags instead of the standard issue blue
caps given to other patients.
“My goal is for patients to have the best experience they
can while providing the best quality medical care,“ says
Gaylets. “Although every patient at EMCM is important,
veterans risked their lives for our country. We’re treating
them special and we want to honor them and see them
do well.“
EMCM Chief Operating Officer Beth Duffy comments
that Gaylets’ programs have been well received. “My
dad was a veteran of World War II and was always very
proud of the fact that he served his country,“ she notes.
“I just feel like anything we can do to recognize
individuals who take on that responsibility is something
that’s both heartwarming and greatly appreciated by
them. We’re proud that Tom is being singled out for his
efforts on their behalf.“

in knowing you have helped make possible a program or
service that touches the lives of many. The magnitude of the
impact is breathtaking.“
As the Albert Einstein Society Honoree, Mr. Gantman was
recognized for his effort to help guide
the network as it seeks out best
possible solutions for meeting the
healthcare needs of the communities it
serves. Through his collaborative efforts
with board colleagues and Einstein
leadership, he plays a pivotal role in
helping to ensure a strong financial
foundation on which our Mission of
delivering high-quality care and a great
patient experience can be achieved. Mr. Gantman is
Executive Vice President of Beverage Distribution Center
Inc., one of the nation’s largest privately owned beverage
distribution companies. He stated, “Einstein provides me
with the opportunity to contribute and work in a complex
business different from my daily environment. I have always
been impressed with the diverse, creative and high-quality
programs that are funded by the Society.“
For more than 40 years, the Albert Einstein Society has
funded and encouraged bold and creative solutions to
address healthcare challenges, enhance patient care and
positively impact the communities we serve. Grants are
awarded to Einstein physicians, nurses and staff in support
of research initiatives and innovative program ideas—with a
total allocation in FY2016 of almost $700,000 representing
a total of 30 grants: 12 Innovative Program Allocation
grants; 10 Research grants; and eight Physician Seed grants.

Recognition
Einstein Healthcare Network celebrated the role of
research in clinical practice at our annual Research
Recognition Day, sponsored by the Medical Staff Board,
on May 18th at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia. At
the event, the J. Stanley Cohen Award for Research
Excellence was presented to Gregg Pressman, MD,
FACC, a board-certified cardiologist who has been with
Einstein for 10 years. He and his team have published more
than 40 academic papers in peer-reviewed journals.
Arthur Feldman, MD, PhD, of Temple University
Hospital, a nationally known cardiologist with 340-plus
publications to his credit, spoke on the topic, “The
Genetics of Heart Failure.“ For several years, his
laboratory has been investigating the molecular and
cellular pathways that are responsible for the development
of this condition. He described his team’s ongoing research
involving genetic testing to determine a single allele
mutation within a given family, and noted that such testing
historically has not been done for the African-American
patient population. In collaboration with Einstein and other
partners, he has applied for a federal grant to study the
clinical, population and basic therapeutic aspects of his
findings to date.
As part of Research Recognition Day, a total of 169
presentation posters from clinicians and researchers
throughout the network were on display at EMCP.
Posters represented the results of a wide variety of
research projects, as well as case studies, educational and
health service projects, quality improvement projects and
innovative programs. Posters were judged in several
categories, and the winners were:

Highlight 2016 Research Recognition Day
DAISY Awards
On May 24th, Einstein Nursing welcomed Bonnie and
Mark Barnes, founders of The DAISY Foundation and
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses Program,
to Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia. It was an
honor to have them participate in one of our monthly
DAISY Award presentations, given to Maureen
Wittman, BSN, RN, Medical ICU nurse, from Kate
Flanagan, the sister of a former patient.
Following the award, the Barnes family was surprised
to find 18 previous DAISY award recipients from
across the entire Einstein network waiting to join
them for dinner and share the impact the award has
had on them. Einstein Vice President and Chief Nurse
Executive Ric Cuming, EdD, MSN, RN, CNOR, NEA-
BC, Vice President and EMCM Chief Nursing Officer
AnnMarie Papa, DNP, RN, CEN, NE-BC, FAEN,
FAAN, and several other Einstein nursing leaders
joined the DAISY awardees to celebrate the Barnes
family for their ongoing work to honor nurses. In
addition, an Einstein Caring Spirit Award was
presented to the Barnes.
Einstein implemented the DAISY Award Program
across the network in January 2015. The DAISY
Awards are now given in over 2,200 organizations in
16 countries to recognize the super-human work
nurses do for patients and families every day.

15 DAISY Honorees from across the Network with DAISY founders
Mark and Bonnie BarnesWhat is the DAISY Foundation?
An acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune
SYstem, The DAISY Foundation was formed in
November 1999, by the family of J. Patrick Barnes
who died at age 33 of complications of Idiopathic
Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). The nursing care
Patrick received when hospitalized profoundly
touched his family, who established The DAISY
Foundation in his honor. The DAISY Award For
Extraordinary Nurses was piloted at the Seattle
Cancer Care Alliance, whose nurses cared for
Patrick during the last weeks of his life. The goal
of the program is to ensure that nurses know how
deserving they are of our society’s profound respect
for the education, training, brainpower, and skill they
put into their work, and especially for the caring with
which they deliver their care.
Koki Mulinga, BSN, RN,
CMSRN, Tower 6
Koki Mulinga works the night shift on
Tower 6. Her caring actions and clinical
practice excellence impacted both my
life and that of my family. I have been a
nurse for 30 years and at Einstein for a
short time now. Being a patient is a
very unfamiliar and frightening role for me. From the
moment this nurse began caring for me, it was apparent
that she “lives“ the Einstein Caring Science Practice Model.
The first time she met me she warmly introduced herself,
explained what I could expect and impressively “managed
up“ her team members. She spoke of the great RN and
Tech team with whom she worked on Tower 6 and the
caring presence of her manager. During her individual time
with me, she was so caring and compassionate. When I was
in pain, she acknowledged my fear in a way that demonstrated
an authentic connection. I felt like I was her only patient
when she was with me, which made me feel reassured and
safe. She consistently demonstrated expert clinical skill and
her accountability to assure quality and safety.
Despite me being a nurse for so many years, Koki did not
assume I was comfortable or that I knew the rationale for
medical surgical interventions. I was so thankful for this
because my background is OB nursing. She showed me
each medication so I could participate in the verification
prior to administration and engaged me in my plan of care
using the communication board.
Koki’s commitment to the relationships she builds is
palpable. As a nurse and a patient, I felt comfortable and
safe in her care; but I wasn’t the only one. During my
second night, my eldest daughter was visiting. When Koki
entered the room, she recalled a conversation she and I
had the night before. She immediately greeted my
daughter and said to her, “Your mom is so proud of you
and she knows how you and your sisters worry. She is
doing better.“ My daughter later commented on Koki’s
warmth and kindness.
I am proud to be a member of Einstein’s nursing
department and wanted everyone to know that Koki sets
our “caring“ bar as high as it should be.
Nomination submitted by a colleague who was a patient
Maureen Wittman, BSN, RN, MICU
My brother, Thomas Flanagan, was admitted to Einstein
MICU on February 24th. He was unconscious and on life
support when he arrived after a choking accident. Tommy
was the youngest of six children in our family and was
affected with several disabilities, including Down’s
syndrome, cerebral palsy and epilepsy.
If Tommy had been conscious when he arrived at MICU,
the staff would have gotten to know this man of 55, and
despite the fact that he never had speech, they would have
recognized his mellow and sweet personality.
All of the staff at Einstein - nurses, doctors, attendants, x-
ray techs - were all exceptional. To me, Maureen Wittman
stood above the crowd because of her quiet competence,
her intelligence, her patience, and her kindness.
After explaining an entire scenario to my brother Frank and
me, she would repeat the entire thing on the phone to my
sister, Pat, in Florida. But most importantly, she took care of
Tommy. She did what was necessary, but also went the
extra mile: one day, she cleaned Tommy’s ears. That may
seem like a simple thing, but I was very touched by that
because in regard to an unconscious
patient, it was very much a gesture of
respect for Tommy, and something I’m
sure made him feel more clean and
comfortable.
Maureen attended to Tommy in the
last three days of his life. She was there
in the operating room when he was
prepped for organ donation, waiting
patiently in the cold O.R., even though I believe her shift
was over. Tommy continued to breathe on his own after the
tube was removed and was sent back to his room.
Maureen was there when he took his last breath, and there
to offer her condolences to me and my family.
After eight days of looking at my brother in the bed,
hooked up to life support, it was very difficult to get that
picture out of my head. However, I now have a picture in
my head of Tommy, tall, strong, and healthy, happily
walking away from his pain. But the picture of Maureen’s
beautiful face - I shall never forget. Maureen personifies
the true nature of what a nurse is and brings the profession
her talent, intelligence, patience, and kindness. Thank you,
Maureen, for the loving care you gave our brother.
Stephanie Kochersperger, BSN, RN 1
North
Stephanie received two patient nominations:
Stephanie Kochersperger, BSN, RN 1
North, is a caring and compassionate
nurse and always makes me feel at
ease. She never has a cross word for
anyone and is always there as soon as
my bell rings. When I felt depressed, I
said I wanted to get my hair done and
she managed to get her mother, who is
a hairdresser, to come in and get my
hair done. She is always pleasant, easy
to talk to and makes me happy. She is over and beyond the
average nurse.

I love her (Stephanie) because she is good-hearted. If I
need something (bedpan or help with my meals due
to tremors) she is always there to help me. She gives
me my medications on time. She helps me in the
bathroom, which is new to me; she never makes me
feel ashamed when it comes to intimate bathroom
activities. She gives me encouragement and support.
Stephanie is always happy and cheerful and goes out
of her way to make me feel special.
Patricia Schuman, RN; EMCM
Pat forms meaningful connections
with all of her patients and families
on the NICU. Her priority is to teach
whenever an opportunity arises. Not
only does Pat teach her co-workers
but she also explains everything to
her parents in the easiest terms
possible. Her commitment to
putting the needs of the patients and families first is
admired by her co-workers, who learn so much from
her.
Recently Pat had a patient – a baby that was about to
pass. There are never words that can comfort a mother
losing a child. Mom and dad were crying at the
bedside and Pat asked if they were people of a certain
faith.
Mom stated that they did not have a specific faith but
they believed themselves to be children of God. Pat
gave them the option to baptize the baby if it would
comfort them. After the baby passed, mom stated that
without Pat she would not have been able to accept
the loss. Pat helped them understand that the baby
was her angel and would always watch over them.
Nomination submitted by a colleague
Karen Batot, BSN, RN,
CEN; EMCM
Karen’s dedication to the 4th floor
is beyond compare. She shares her
knowledge, skills and time
generously as well as her vast
mental library of fun, obscure facts!
Karen is honest and straightforward and she makes
herself and her good advice available to all of us, day
or night. She never misses an opportunity to teach.
Karen is pro-nursing and she empowers all of us to
strive for more and make positive changes. Karen has
a unique ability to see what others may miss: a new
face with wide eyes and a panicked look, an
experienced nurse looking weary, a PCA feeling
frustrated, and a glassy-eyed monitor tech needing a
break. She will never just walk by. She will stop, have a
conversation and leave having made a difference.
Karen brings a priceless gift to this floor, this facility
and the nursing profession.
Nomination submitted by a
colleague
Mark Menapace, BSN, RN,
CEN; EMCM
As a new-to-practice nurse, starting
a job can be frightening and
intimidating, especially in a setting
in which I did not have any clinical experience.
Although I had previous pre-hospital experience, I
knew that being an ER nurse would present a different
set of challenges. A preceptor can make or break the
start of a new graduate’s career. I was very fortunate to
have had Mark Menapace get my career off to a great
start.
Mark immediately took me under his wing and taught
me an enormous amount. I was not just an orientee to
him; he took the time to get to know me. I felt as
though I learned more in the three months I was with
him than the two years in nursing school. He made
sure to teach me in a manner that never made me feel
as though I wasn’t succeeding or as if my intelligence
was subpar. He did an amazing job of telling me when
I did a great job and ensuring that I was given
recognition when I deserved it. The aspect of his
teaching that impressed me the most was how much
he was able to help build my confidence and skills
without sacrificing any aspect of patient care. Mark has
set me up for success, built up my confidence, and
demonstrated superior emergency nursing. He is the
type of nurse I hope to not only become, but maintain
throughout my career. I am extremely thankful for his
knowledge, guidance, and the standard he set for my
emergency nursing career.

  • 1. CHOP and Einstein Announce Alliance We recently announced great news about our alliance with The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) that brings together Einstein’s exceptional women’s health and maternity care and CHOP’s world-class neonatology and pediatric emergency care to deliver comprehensive maternal and neonatal services at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery. As you know, Einstein has been looking for new ways to partner with others to deliver high-quality care and to expand our reach in the Philadelphia region. Teaming up with CHOP, the nation’s first pediatric hospital, fits with our long- standing commitment to meeting the healthcare needs of women and babies and allows us to develop a variety of exciting programs and services. To meet the needs of these programs, we will be making enhancements at EMCM, including additions to our Labor & Delivery unit and other facility expansions. When we made the commitment to build Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, it was our goal to bring high-quality healthcare services to central Montgomery County that weren’t available locally. We’ve done that with regional service lines such as Bariatrics, CT Surgery, Orthopedics/Spine and Neurosurgery. Our alliance with CHOP provides another way for us to give patients the best care, close to where they live. Next Steps: For this initiative to deliver a seamless patient experience, Einstein and CHOP will need to work together in clinical service areas such as Obstetrics, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Neonatal Intensive Care and Pediatric Emergency Care. Work on that is already underway, but it will take some time. We expect CHOP to begin providing neonatal services at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery this year. We will continue to provide you with updates on this initiative. Thank you for your continued commitment and support of Einstein. Your hard work makes a big difference to our patients, their family members and the communities we serve. New Pay Increase Announced to Mark 150th Anniversary As a way of saying “thank you“ to Einstein staff on the occasion of our 150th anniversary, eligible employees will be receiving a 1 percent increase to their base salary, effective August 7th, 2016. This increase is in addition to the pay-for- performance 2 percent increase that was previously announced, and will be calculated based on an employee’s base pay after the latter goes into effect June 26th. Annual healthcare premiums will not be affected by either increase. Certain job classifications are not eligible for this new increase, including CEO, Residents, Fellows, Executives, Vice Presidents, Per Diems, Temporary, Weekend Program and Employed Physicians; and certain other restrictions apply to employees on inactive status, in grant funded positions, or at the top of their pay range. Please see your HR Service Specialist for more details. In announcing this latest increase, Chief Executive Officer and President Barry Freedman said, “Thank you for everything you have done to help Einstein continue the legacy that was started 150 years ago and that you continue to do to prepare us for the future!“ IntheWorks June 30, 2016 News for Einstein Employees In This Issue Help Einstein Build a Time Capsule!

This August marks the official 150th anniversary of Einstein Healthcare Network. What would you want people to know about our health system 100 years from now? How would you explain what Einstein is like today, our Mission, and the current healthcare environment? On August 8th, we’re going to install a time capsule at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia to commemorate our 150th, and we’d like your input on what should go into it! These could be historical or everyday objects, photographs, recordings on CDs or USB drives, or even handmade items. Send your suggestions to einsteinmatters@einstein.edu by no later than July 15th. We’ll then ask all Einstein employees to vote for the top 10 ideas during the following week, and the winners will each receive a $150 Amazon gift card and be featured in a future issue of In the Works. Be a part of history in the making, as we leave our mark for future generations to discover. We look forward to celebrating the Einstein legacy with this special time capsule dedication. Stay tuned for more event details in the coming weeks. Einstein 150th Anniversary Museum Exhibit on Display at Historical Society Through July 22nd To help commemorate Einstein Healthcare Network’s 150th anniversary, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania is hosting a special exhibit entitled, “150 Years of Compassionate Care to the Community,“ which showcases our journey from a 22-bed facility to the regional healthcare system we have become. Numerous historical items and photographs will be on display, including: I The Register of Patients Admitted to the Old Age Home of the Jewish Hospital Association of Philadelphia (September 13, 1866 to May 17, 1920) I The Jewish Hospital Association of Philadelphia Constitution and Bylaws (1908) I The first annual report of the Jewish Hospital Association of Philadelphia (1866) I Photographs of the original farmhouse and original buildings on the Old York Road and Olney Road campus, as well as early operating rooms, patient wards, and nurses; and much more. Stop by and see this fascinating exhibit, which is on display through July 22nd. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania is located at 1300 Locust Street in Center City.

  • 3. EMCP Pediatrics Department Pursues Advocacy Projects On June 7th, the Einstein Department of Pediatrics held a Residents’ Advocacy Grand Rounds event, highlighting several major projects executed in the past academic year: I Teen Career Day was held on April 2nd in Gouley Auditorium to address local youth who may be uncertain what to do after high school graduation. More than 30 teens attended the event. Batul Kaj, MD, and her team gave mock interviews, helped the attendees build resumes, answered career choice questions, provided breakfast and lunch, and brought “vendors“ from various institutions and technical schools onsite to assist. I A group of residents, led by Sabaa Alvi, MD, went to D. Newlin Fell School in South Philadelphia to talk to the students about hunger (locally and worldwide) and its effects on children and their development. (Did you know that Philadelphia has the second highest rate of hunger for school-aged children in the United States? Food insecurity is a big problem in our area.) I Andrea Zivot, MD, Sandra Guerguis, MD, and Azada Ibrahimova, MD, attended a “Pre-K for PA“ legislative advocacy day in Harrisburg. This lobbying organization is asking the state legislature to increase funding for high-quality pre-kindergarten by $90 million in Fiscal Year 2016-17. I Additional efforts included substance abuse counseling during pregnancy (led by Sweta Mohanty, MD), fundraising for the Nepal earthquake (led by Sharina Rajbhandari, MD), and a school talk on asthma (led by Jessica Geaney, MD). The department intends to repeat some of these programs on an annual basis. Pediatric Administrative Coordinator Carole Andretta says, “In Peds, we are passionate about families and children.“ New Outpatient Care Center Coming Soon to King of Prussia Einstein Healthcare Network is proud to announce that we will be opening a new outpatient care center at 210 Mall Boulevard in King of Prussia this July. Construction is well underway on this expansive, 30,000-square-foot space where Einstein will offer primary and specialty care services. The center will include family medicine, orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, an outpatient lab, outpatient radiology for diagnostic imaging, and a suite for other specialty medical services such as neurosurgery, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, pain management, urology, podiatry and cardiology. The health complex also will house a MossRehab outpatient site and new location for King of Prussia Family Medicine, which is relocating to this site from its current building on Henderson Road. “We are thrilled to be expanding our ambulatory presence in the King of Prussia area,“ said Beth Duffy, Chief Operating Officer of Einstein Medical Center Montgomery. “Patients will have the convenience of being treated in their neighborhood, with access to the depth and breadth of the expertise of an outstanding major medical center.“ The outpatient care center in King of Prussia is the latest development in our growth strategy to expand our network’s reach and bring comprehensive medical care to the various markets that Einstein serves. Other similar centers include Center One, Einstein at Germantown, Einstein Healthcare Network Holmesburg, Einstein Healthcare Network Collegeville, and Einstein Healthcare Network Plymouth Meeting. EMCM Named a Top Hospital for Patient Safety by Healthgrades Congratulations to Einstein Medical Center Montgomery as one of 466 hospitals across the nation that achieved the Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award™ in 2016. This distinction places EMCM within the top 10 percent of all hospitals evaluated for excellent performance in safeguarding patients from serious, potentially preventable complications during their hospital stays. The Patient Safety Excellence Award recipients were determined by evaluating the occurrence of observed incidents and expected performance for 14 Patient Safety Indicators as defined by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) between 2012 and 2014. Patient safety measures how well a hospital prevents injuries, infections, and other serious conditions based on these 14 adverse events. “We are pleased and honored to receive this designation for excellence in Patient Safety. This achievement demonstrates the ongoing commitment by all of our staff to provide a safe experience for our patients,“ commented Beth Duffy, Chief Operating Officer of Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, Healthgrades, headquartered in Denver, Colo., is an online resource for information about physicians and hospitals.

  • 4. TAVR Heart Procedure Now Offered at EMCM Einstein Medical Center Montgomery is now providing a new option for high-risk heart patients – transcatheter valve replacement, or TAVR. This procedure is for select patients with severe aortic stenosis who are not candidates for traditional open chest surgery. The minimally invasive surgical procedure repairs the valve without removing the old damaged valve, similar to a stent placement. Previously, patients needing the procedure had to travel outside of central Montgomery County. During this procedure, a biological heart valve (sourced from a cow) is inserted into the aorta through the leg or the chest using a catheter and a balloon. The new stented, prosthetic valve functions like a normal, healthy valve as soon as the inflated balloon that moves it into place is removed from the patient. The benefits of TAVR include a small incision, faster recovery, and less pain and discomfort for the patient. Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease in the U.S. Without treatment, severe cases may result in death. Approximately 30 percent of patients with aortic stenosis are considered high risk. Einstein Healthcare Network’s Cardiothoracic Surgery team was the first to provide transcatheter aortic valve replacement in Philadelphia. EMCM Hosts Photo Exhibit by PA Breast Cancer Coalition Einstein Medical Center Montgomery was recently the site of the PA Breast Cancer Coalition’s (PBCC) new traveling photo exhibit, 67 Women, 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in PA. This special exhibit features photos of women from across the state, and shares their personal stories about how breast cancer has touched their lives and the effect it has had on their families, friends and communities. The exhibit serves as a reminder that breast cancer knows no boundaries – it is the most common cancer in women worldwide and does not discriminate based on age, race, religion, socioeconomic status or location. A kickoff reception featuring local breast cancer survivors, local legislators, and representatives from PBCC and Einstein was held on Tuesday, May 17th. In his opening remarks, Einstein President and CEO Barry Freedman commented, “When it comes to the fight against breast cancer, the PBCC and Einstein share a common mission: We want to educate people about the importance of screenings and early detection, empower women, save lives, and end breast cancer forever.“ He mentioned the trailblazing role that Einstein has played in breast health dating back to the 1950s, when Dr. Jacob Gershon-Cohen, widely regarded as the “Father of Mammography,“ began using mammograms to screen healthy women for breast cancer. “Today, we are celebrating the hope, determination and courage of our patients and all the women and families dealing with this disease statewide,“ Freedman added. “At Einstein, we remain committed to providing high-quality women’s health services.“ PBCC President & Founder Pat Halpin-Murphy (pictured above), herself a breast cancer survivor, noted, “The women in our photo exhibit show the true face of breast cancer in Pennsylvania. They are mothers, wives, aunts, sisters, daughters and friends.“ The photo exhibit will continue to tour the state in the coming months. For more information, visit https://www.pabreastcancer.org/.

  • 5. MossRehab Launches New Ad Campaign MossRehab recently launched a new “Challenge Accepted“ advertising campaign that consists of a TV commercial, billboards and print ads. The new TV spot, called “Step,“ focuses on that moment in the rehab journey when, together with his or her therapist or clinician, the patient embraces the challenge ahead, and works to reach whatever personal goal he or she has set. And once the first goal is met, the patient is again challenged with the next target to meet. It’s a truly relatable moment that captures the spirit of “Challenge Accepted“ and the work done with our rehab patients, day in and day out. Similarly, each of the new billboards and print ads has been designed to capture a person’s struggle and triumph through his or her expression and body language. These are real people – actual MossRehab patients – revealing their inner strength. Some of the places you may see the campaign at different times over the next few months include: I CBS3, 6ABC, NBC10, PHL-17, FOX 29, CW 57, A&E, BET, BRAVO, Comcast SportsNet, DISCOVERY, HGTV, TNT, SYFY during morning and evening hours I On XfinityTV.net, Xfinity.com and ESPN live sports streaming online I On billboards along heavily traveled roads in the greater Philadelphia region. TV show placement highlights include: I “Jimmy Kimmel Game Night,“ Stanley Cup playoffs, Phillies games, Philadelphia Union matches, Tony Awards, U.S. Open Finals I Season finales of “The Big Bang Theory,“ “Blindspot,“ “Blue Bloods,“ “Chicago Fire,“ “Dancing with the Stars,“ “Hawaii Five-0,“ “Mike & Molly,“ “Person of Interest,“ “Scorpion,“ and “Two Broke Girls“ I New shows including “Heartbeat,“ “Strong,“ “In an Instant,“ and “Maya and Marty in Manhattan.“ Network News
  • 6. The Global Abilities Foundation (GAF), which addresses the significant challenges to community integration that persons with disabilities often face, has presented MossRehab with the annual Champion in the Community Award.

  • 7. The Mayfair practice has six providers and a support staff of 13 to care for approximately 8,000 patients (ages five and up) each year. The practice was formed about 16 years ago after combining several neighborhood practices into one under Einstein’s ownership. The practice is our model NCQA Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home and has set goals to continuously improve their quality of patient care. The practice is piloting a new staffing model that removes phones from the front desk and allows front desk staff to focus on the patient in front of them while dedicated phone staff can address call-in patients without interruption. They are hopeful this method will improve patient satisfaction. In another initiative, they hosted two shared group visit for Diabetics. Group visits give patients with like conditions an opportunity to come together to support each other and problem solve. The group was led by ECHA Medical Director, Christopher Joseph Scaven, DO. Eleven patients attended the group session that featured a diabetic educator, podiatrist, fitness/nutritional consultant and a stress management/yoga instructor. The feedback was positive. The practice also has an RN Navigator that works with complex patients doing proactive outreach, patient education and care coordination. The pratice is located at 7131-39 Frankford Avenue.

  • 8. I Congratulations to Jay Simhan, MD, who has been named one of Philadelphia Business Journal’s “40 Under 40“ for 2016. Dr. Simhan is Director of Urologic Trauma, Reconstruction and Prosthetics for Einstein’s Urologic Institute of Southeastern Pennsylvania and Einstein Healthcare Network. Since he joined the hospital in August 2014, Dr. Simhan has created a new practice in urological implants for men suffering from the after-effects of cancer or trauma-related urologic injury. He has performed more male urologic prosthesis implantations in his first two years at Einstein than any other U.S. surgeon, ever. I Beth Duffy, Chief Operating Officer of Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, was recently honored with the 2016 Healthcare Administrator Award from The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC). The award is given annually to a member of a healthcare facility’s executive team who champions infection prevention efforts within his or her organization. “Ms. Duffy has been a tremendous supporter of infection prevention and patient safety at EMCM and sets an example for other leaders,“ said APIC 2016 President Susan Dolan, RN, MS, CIC. “Her backing included allocating appropriate financial and personnel resources to ensure successful implementation of infection prevention initiatives that have improved patient safety and quality of care.“ The group recognized that Duffy’s advocacy for infection prevention has made a significant impact at EMCM. For example, APIC noted that her support was instrumental in the success of the “Wash In/Wash Out“ campaign to increase hand hygiene compliance, which exceeded its goal with 87 percent compliance. Other actions that the organization honored Duffy for were increasing the number of positions in the EMCM Infection Control Department, helping to troubleshoot roadblocks, educating staff on the importance of prevention initiatives, and providing leadership on infection prevention action groups. APIC’s mission is to create a safer world through prevention of infection. For more information, visit www.apic.org.

I In a recent promotional campaign called “LOVE STORY,“ Subaru of America and Philadelphia magazine spotlighted two Einstein medical professionals who are Subaru owners: In addition to his roles as Einstein Medical Director for Disaster Medicine and Management Master’s Program and Division Director for EMS and Disaster Medicine, Steven J. Parrillo, DO, FACOEP, FACEP, is an emergency medicine physician and an educator. This means that he is tasked with not only aiding patients during the most traumatic moments of their lives, but also instilling vital lessons about disaster medicine. To ensure he’s always available to assist patients in need, the longtime Subaru owner relies on his 2015 Subaru Outback. Read more about Steve at PhillyMag.com. Lauren Romano, a radiologic technologist at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, has relied on her 2015 Subaru Legacy not only to get her to and from work in bad weather, but also to bring her and her husband to EMCM when she was in labor with their daughter — with six inches of snow on the ground! She says, “The all- wheel drive and the eyesight technology of the Legacy, as well as all the safety features, make me feel safe driving myself and — most importantly—my family in my car.“ Read more about Lauren at PhillyMag.com. As part of the campaign, Subaru will be offering a special incentive to Einstein employees who purchase or lease a Subaru. This offer will be communicated once we have the details. Recognition
  • 9. Recognition EMCM Employee Honored as “Veteran of Influence“ Tom Gaylets, Jr., Assistant Vice President, Nurse and Manager of the Interventional Platform at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, has been named one of the Greater Philadelphia region’s 2016 “Veterans of Influence“ by the Philadelphia Business Journal. For Gaylets, love of country and respect for all those who served in the U.S. armed services are deeply ingrained. His father was captured during the Korean War and spent two and a half years as a prisoner of war. The experience made Gaylets, Sr. a devout patriot, thankful for the freedoms and abundance of his country, and he became an activist on behalf of veterans. Inspired by his father, Gaylets, Jr. joined the U.S. Marine Corps after high school and then went to nursing school. The American flag that now flies outside Einstein Montgomery belonged to his dad. Gaylets, Jr. has found several ways to honor his patriotism in the context of his career, by creating two programs at EMCM to recognize military veterans. Every veteran who’s an inpatient receives a large, oval magnet decorated with an American Flag and stating “Thank You for Your Service“ that is placed on the hospital door frame. “Anyone walking by will see it and may express gratitude or engage the veteran in conversation,“ Gaylets says. In addition, veterans who come in for a diagnostic or surgical procedure at EMCM receive white caps covered with American flags instead of the standard issue blue caps given to other patients. “My goal is for patients to have the best experience they can while providing the best quality medical care,“ says Gaylets. “Although every patient at EMCM is important, veterans risked their lives for our country. We’re treating them special and we want to honor them and see them do well.“ EMCM Chief Operating Officer Beth Duffy comments that Gaylets’ programs have been well received. “My dad was a veteran of World War II and was always very proud of the fact that he served his country,“ she notes. “I just feel like anything we can do to recognize individuals who take on that responsibility is something that’s both heartwarming and greatly appreciated by them. We’re proud that Tom is being singled out for his efforts on their behalf.“ Albert Einstein Society Honors Matalon, Gantman at Annual Dinner The Albert Einstein Society held its annual dinner on June 2nd. This year’s honorees were Terence (Terry) A.S. Matalon, MD, FSIR, FACR, Chair of the Department of Radiology at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia, and Lewis Gantman, a member of the Board of Trustees for Einstein Healthcare Network since 2002 and current Chairman of the Board of Trustees for EMCM. Dr. Matalon was named the Albert Einstein Society Physician Leadership Award Recipient. The award recognized his extensive involvement with the Society as a member of the Innovative Program Allocation Committee (IPAC) since joining Einstein 13 years ago. During that time, Dr. Matalon has provided invaluable medical insight into the grant selection process. He commented, “There is great satisfaction in knowing you have helped make possible a program or service that touches the lives of many. The magnitude of the impact is breathtaking.“ As the Albert Einstein Society Honoree, Mr. Gantman was recognized for his effort to help guide the network as it seeks out best possible solutions for meeting the healthcare needs of the communities it serves. Through his collaborative efforts with board colleagues and Einstein leadership, he plays a pivotal role in helping to ensure a strong financial foundation on which our Mission of delivering high-quality care and a great patient experience can be achieved. Mr. Gantman is Executive Vice President of Beverage Distribution Center Inc., one of the nation’s largest privately owned beverage distribution companies. He stated, “Einstein provides me with the opportunity to contribute and work in a complex business different from my daily environment. I have always been impressed with the diverse, creative and high-quality programs that are funded by the Society.“ For more than 40 years, the Albert Einstein Society has funded and encouraged bold and creative solutions to address healthcare challenges, enhance patient care and positively impact the communities we serve. Grants are awarded to Einstein physicians, nurses and staff in support of research initiatives and innovative program ideas—with a total allocation in FY2016 of almost $700,000 representing a total of 30 grants: 12 Innovative Program Allocation grants; 10 Research grants; and eight Physician Seed grants.

  • 10. Recognition Einstein Healthcare Network celebrated the role of research in clinical practice at our annual Research Recognition Day, sponsored by the Medical Staff Board, on May 18th at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia. At the event, the J. Stanley Cohen Award for Research Excellence was presented to Gregg Pressman, MD, FACC, a board-certified cardiologist who has been with Einstein for 10 years. He and his team have published more than 40 academic papers in peer-reviewed journals. Arthur Feldman, MD, PhD, of Temple University Hospital, a nationally known cardiologist with 340-plus publications to his credit, spoke on the topic, “The Genetics of Heart Failure.“ For several years, his laboratory has been investigating the molecular and cellular pathways that are responsible for the development of this condition. He described his team’s ongoing research involving genetic testing to determine a single allele mutation within a given family, and noted that such testing historically has not been done for the African-American patient population. In collaboration with Einstein and other partners, he has applied for a federal grant to study the clinical, population and basic therapeutic aspects of his findings to date. As part of Research Recognition Day, a total of 169 presentation posters from clinicians and researchers throughout the network were on display at EMCP. Posters represented the results of a wide variety of research projects, as well as case studies, educational and health service projects, quality improvement projects and innovative programs. Posters were judged in several categories, and the winners were: Innovative Program: Title: Multidisciplinary Approach to the Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C: the MATCH initiative Authors: Naemat Sandhu, Ramzi Mulki, Shannon Tosounian, Ritika Puri, David Wheeler, Eyob Feyssa & Alexandra Baumann Department/Division: Medicine – Internal Medicine (This project was funded by a grant from the Albert Einstein Society.)

  • 11. DAISY Awards On May 24th, Einstein Nursing welcomed Bonnie and Mark Barnes, founders of The DAISY Foundation and The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses Program, to Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia. It was an honor to have them participate in one of our monthly DAISY Award presentations, given to Maureen Wittman, BSN, RN, Medical ICU nurse, from Kate Flanagan, the sister of a former patient. Following the award, the Barnes family was surprised to find 18 previous DAISY award recipients from across the entire Einstein network waiting to join them for dinner and share the impact the award has had on them. Einstein Vice President and Chief Nurse Executive Ric Cuming, EdD, MSN, RN, CNOR, NEA- BC, Vice President and EMCM Chief Nursing Officer AnnMarie Papa, DNP, RN, CEN, NE-BC, FAEN, FAAN, and several other Einstein nursing leaders joined the DAISY awardees to celebrate the Barnes family for their ongoing work to honor nurses. In addition, an Einstein Caring Spirit Award was presented to the Barnes. Einstein implemented the DAISY Award Program across the network in January 2015. The DAISY Awards are now given in over 2,200 organizations in 16 countries to recognize the super-human work nurses do for patients and families every day. EMCP Hosts DAISY Award Program Founders Members of Einstein’s DAISY Award Committee Ric Cuming presents Bonnie and Mark Barnes, founders of the DAISY Foundation and DAISY Award, with the Caring Spirit Award. 15 DAISY Honorees from across the Network with DAISY founders Mark and Bonnie BarnesWhat is the DAISY Foundation? An acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune SYstem, The DAISY Foundation was formed in November 1999, by the family of J. Patrick Barnes who died at age 33 of complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). The nursing care Patrick received when hospitalized profoundly touched his family, who established The DAISY Foundation in his honor. The DAISY Award For Extraordinary Nurses was piloted at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, whose nurses cared for Patrick during the last weeks of his life. The goal of the program is to ensure that nurses know how deserving they are of our society’s profound respect for the education, training, brainpower, and skill they put into their work, and especially for the caring with which they deliver their care.
  • 12. Koki Mulinga, BSN, RN, CMSRN, Tower 6 Koki Mulinga works the night shift on Tower 6. Her caring actions and clinical practice excellence impacted both my life and that of my family. I have been a nurse for 30 years and at Einstein for a short time now. Being a patient is a very unfamiliar and frightening role for me. From the moment this nurse began caring for me, it was apparent that she “lives“ the Einstein Caring Science Practice Model. The first time she met me she warmly introduced herself, explained what I could expect and impressively “managed up“ her team members. She spoke of the great RN and Tech team with whom she worked on Tower 6 and the caring presence of her manager. During her individual time with me, she was so caring and compassionate. When I was in pain, she acknowledged my fear in a way that demonstrated an authentic connection. I felt like I was her only patient when she was with me, which made me feel reassured and safe. She consistently demonstrated expert clinical skill and her accountability to assure quality and safety. Despite me being a nurse for so many years, Koki did not assume I was comfortable or that I knew the rationale for medical surgical interventions. I was so thankful for this because my background is OB nursing. She showed me each medication so I could participate in the verification prior to administration and engaged me in my plan of care using the communication board. Koki’s commitment to the relationships she builds is palpable. As a nurse and a patient, I felt comfortable and safe in her care; but I wasn’t the only one. During my second night, my eldest daughter was visiting. When Koki entered the room, she recalled a conversation she and I had the night before. She immediately greeted my daughter and said to her, “Your mom is so proud of you and she knows how you and your sisters worry. She is doing better.“ My daughter later commented on Koki’s warmth and kindness. I am proud to be a member of Einstein’s nursing department and wanted everyone to know that Koki sets our “caring“ bar as high as it should be. Nomination submitted by a colleague who was a patient Maureen Wittman, BSN, RN, MICU My brother, Thomas Flanagan, was admitted to Einstein MICU on February 24th. He was unconscious and on life support when he arrived after a choking accident. Tommy was the youngest of six children in our family and was affected with several disabilities, including Down’s syndrome, cerebral palsy and epilepsy. If Tommy had been conscious when he arrived at MICU, the staff would have gotten to know this man of 55, and despite the fact that he never had speech, they would have recognized his mellow and sweet personality. All of the staff at Einstein - nurses, doctors, attendants, x- ray techs - were all exceptional. To me, Maureen Wittman stood above the crowd because of her quiet competence, her intelligence, her patience, and her kindness. After explaining an entire scenario to my brother Frank and me, she would repeat the entire thing on the phone to my sister, Pat, in Florida. But most importantly, she took care of Tommy. She did what was necessary, but also went the extra mile: one day, she cleaned Tommy’s ears. That may seem like a simple thing, but I was very touched by that because in regard to an unconscious patient, it was very much a gesture of respect for Tommy, and something I’m sure made him feel more clean and comfortable. Maureen attended to Tommy in the last three days of his life. She was there in the operating room when he was prepped for organ donation, waiting patiently in the cold O.R., even though I believe her shift was over. Tommy continued to breathe on his own after the tube was removed and was sent back to his room. Maureen was there when he took his last breath, and there to offer her condolences to me and my family. After eight days of looking at my brother in the bed, hooked up to life support, it was very difficult to get that picture out of my head. However, I now have a picture in my head of Tommy, tall, strong, and healthy, happily walking away from his pain. But the picture of Maureen’s beautiful face - I shall never forget. Maureen personifies the true nature of what a nurse is and brings the profession her talent, intelligence, patience, and kindness. Thank you, Maureen, for the loving care you gave our brother. Stephanie Kochersperger, BSN, RN 1 North Stephanie received two patient nominations: Stephanie Kochersperger, BSN, RN 1 North, is a caring and compassionate nurse and always makes me feel at ease. She never has a cross word for anyone and is always there as soon as my bell rings. When I felt depressed, I said I wanted to get my hair done and she managed to get her mother, who is a hairdresser, to come in and get my hair done. She is always pleasant, easy to talk to and makes me happy. She is over and beyond the average nurse. DAISY Awards
  • 13. DAISY Awards • • • I love her (Stephanie) because she is good-hearted. If I need something (bedpan or help with my meals due to tremors) she is always there to help me. She gives me my medications on time. She helps me in the bathroom, which is new to me; she never makes me feel ashamed when it comes to intimate bathroom activities. She gives me encouragement and support. Stephanie is always happy and cheerful and goes out of her way to make me feel special. Patricia Schuman, RN; EMCM Pat forms meaningful connections with all of her patients and families on the NICU. Her priority is to teach whenever an opportunity arises. Not only does Pat teach her co-workers but she also explains everything to her parents in the easiest terms possible. Her commitment to putting the needs of the patients and families first is admired by her co-workers, who learn so much from her. Recently Pat had a patient – a baby that was about to pass. There are never words that can comfort a mother losing a child. Mom and dad were crying at the bedside and Pat asked if they were people of a certain faith. Mom stated that they did not have a specific faith but they believed themselves to be children of God. Pat gave them the option to baptize the baby if it would comfort them. After the baby passed, mom stated that without Pat she would not have been able to accept the loss. Pat helped them understand that the baby was her angel and would always watch over them. Nomination submitted by a colleague Karen Batot, BSN, RN, CEN; EMCM Karen’s dedication to the 4th floor is beyond compare. She shares her knowledge, skills and time generously as well as her vast mental library of fun, obscure facts! Karen is honest and straightforward and she makes herself and her good advice available to all of us, day or night. She never misses an opportunity to teach. Karen is pro-nursing and she empowers all of us to strive for more and make positive changes. Karen has a unique ability to see what others may miss: a new face with wide eyes and a panicked look, an experienced nurse looking weary, a PCA feeling frustrated, and a glassy-eyed monitor tech needing a break. She will never just walk by. She will stop, have a conversation and leave having made a difference. Karen brings a priceless gift to this floor, this facility and the nursing profession. Nomination submitted by a colleague Mark Menapace, BSN, RN, CEN; EMCM As a new-to-practice nurse, starting a job can be frightening and intimidating, especially in a setting in which I did not have any clinical experience. Although I had previous pre-hospital experience, I knew that being an ER nurse would present a different set of challenges. A preceptor can make or break the start of a new graduate’s career. I was very fortunate to have had Mark Menapace get my career off to a great start. Mark immediately took me under his wing and taught me an enormous amount. I was not just an orientee to him; he took the time to get to know me. I felt as though I learned more in the three months I was with him than the two years in nursing school. He made sure to teach me in a manner that never made me feel as though I wasn’t succeeding or as if my intelligence was subpar. He did an amazing job of telling me when I did a great job and ensuring that I was given recognition when I deserved it. The aspect of his teaching that impressed me the most was how much he was able to help build my confidence and skills without sacrificing any aspect of patient care. Mark has set me up for success, built up my confidence, and demonstrated superior emergency nursing. He is the type of nurse I hope to not only become, but maintain throughout my career.
