[Editor's Note: This is part 2 and the final article on the GRMC Governing Board meeting on April 27, 2023. It begins the reports and updates from leadership.]
By Mary Alice Murphy
The first report at the Gila Regional Medical Center Governing Board meeting on April 27, 2023 came from Interim Chief Nursing Officer Cynthia Lewis. "Our focus has been on community needs, social determinants of health and some of the entities that support community health while working with the team members in the organization. You have a great group of folks at Gila Regional working with the leaders, working at the patient level and understanding what the patient needs are. We continue to identify gaps to better meet the patient needs so they choose to come to the organization. One of the things we are working on is to increase the throughput through the Emergency Department. National studies show that the increase of behavioral health or brain chemistry disorders with associated addictive diseases increased the ED length of stay by 30 percent. We are working on ways to decrease that and better meet the patients' needs. Our organization is spending a fair amount of time on the Meditech Expanse upgrade. And we continue to spend time on identifying gaps where we may have some improvement opportunities."
