Nurses are celebrated during Nurse’s Week which coincides with the birthday of Florence Nightingale. This year Mount Sinai has a full week of scheduled events to honor, recognize and enrich our nurses. Please find a way to attend some of these events. Please take time to honor your colleagues. And, most importantly, please recognize your own valuable and unique contributions.
Mount Sinai Awards for Excellence in Nursing Practice Each year during Nurse’s week, Mount Sinai recognizes outstanding nurses throughout the institution. This year I am honored to be one of them.
How does it feel to be the recipient of a prestigious nursing award? I have got to admit that it feels wonderful to have your efforts applauded. The ego loves the attention and it gets the validation it seeks. But after the initial excitement, I wonder why? Why me? There are so very many other wonderful Mount Sinai nurses, why would I be singled out? There’s the longevity piece, the fact that I’ve stuck around for 32 years proves my loyalty to the institution. There’s the Benner theory of how, after years of training and practice, one becomes not just competent, but expert at nursing. There’s the fact that I love to read and so have continued learning throughout all these years. I’ve kept abreast of current trends and the forward progression of our profession. I’ve volunteered beyond my basic employment requirements to enrich our community. But so has many, many other Mount Sinai nurses. So why? Why me?
The only answer that makes sense to me is that there is something about my personal belief system that makes me stand out. I believe that there are many paths to fulfillment and so respect the many ways people seek their answers. I believe that since there is more than enough to go around and so I need to share. I believe that we have to think about what we do and say, so as to not harm, but to help. I believe that we are all interconnected, you are me and I am you. Many people say they share some of my beliefs, but still operate from places of fear. This hinders their ability to truly reach out and give fully. I believe that when we acknowledge our true intention; we can deliver.
I am accepting the Mount Sinai Award for Clinical Excellence with the deepest of gratitude for my leaders who guide me, my colleagues who teach me so much and my patients who give me wisdom and purpose. I am accepting this award on behalf of all nurses who are making a better world for us all.

What is Magnet? by Pat Matos, DNP, RN Welcome to the first edition of the Magnet Newsletter. This newsletter is designed to share information about the Magnet program with all nurses the Mount Sinai Medical Center. Mount Sinai was designated as a Magnet hospital for the first time in 2004 and re-‐designated in 2009 after meeting the rigorous standards outlined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). The process involves the submission of several volumes of documentation demonstrating evidence of standard compliance. This is reviewed by the Magnet Commission and if it demonstrates sufficient evidence of compliance, a survey is then scheduled. The re-‐designation survey in 2009 at Mount Sinai was conducted for three days, and while focused on nursing practice, staff of all disciplines in every area of the hospital participated. We were notified in March, 2009 that we had been re-‐designated. This is achieved by only a small number of hospitals in the United States.

So, many ask, what is Magnet exactly? To explain, it is best to start with a brief history. In 1983, The American Academy of Nursing’s Task Force on Nursing Practice in Hospitals surveyed 163 hospitals in the U.S. to ascertain what factors created an atmosphere that attracted and retained nurses. Of the 163 hospitals, 41 demonstrated “magnet” characteristics that attracted and retained nurses. These characteristics came to be known as the “Forces of Magnetism.” The 14 forces included quality of care, autonomy, and professional development, to name a few.
In 2007, in response to changes in healthcare, the ANCC conducted a study in which a statistical analysis of surveyor scores was done and the result was a clustering of the sources of evidence into over 30 groups. The 14 Forces of Magnetism were grouped into five components (Transformational Leadership, Structural Empowerment; Exemplary Professional Practice; New

Knowledge, Innovations & Improvements, and Empirical Outcomes) which form the basis for the Magnet Model. Currently, there are over 87 sources of evidence under these components. In the written documentation and the survey, each of these sources of evidence is evaluated.
The Magnet Recognition Program is a rigorous and ongoing process of achieving and improving nursing excellence. Magnet organizations must now demonstrate that quality outcomes exceed the norm over 50% of the time. It is no longer enough to have processes in place – we must show that these processes are effective. Being designated a Magnet hospital means we are meeting the highest standards we have in the nursing profession. It is reason to be proud and reason to continue to practice at this level in every area of practice.

Between reviewing discharge medications and prepping your patient to go to the OR it might be the last thing on your mind to consider agreeing when someone comes up to you and asks, “Hey, would you like to let a high school student shadow you around while you work?” Now, before you give your answer, please finish this article.
Mount Sinai’s Center for Excellence in Youth Education (CEYE) led by Dr. Lloyd Sherman, has a very energetic educational coordinator, Eboni Jones, as their scout for finding healthcare professionals in the hospital to serve as mentors for New York City high school students. For over 40 years, CEYE has partnered with area schools to help students who have an interest in healthcare careers get real life experiences in a hospital setting. Students go through an application and interview process and then best attempts are made to place each student in an area of the hospital in which he or she has expressed a specific interest.When I was approached by Ms. Jones, at first I thought to myself, “Oh I have several research projects and the Magnet committee, do I have time for this?” Then I thought, “Will a high school student really be interested in what I do?” Despite my initial hesitation, I am so glad that I decided to say yes.
“I realized that taking a student with me through the day offers many opportunities to share what it is we actually do and how different a nurse’s role is from one area to another. I found myself helping students translate what was learned in the labs and classrooms into daily patient care. I could enable students to witness firsthand how complex healthcare can be.”
I enjoyed the challenge of finding new experiences to engage the students. I thought about what I, myself, would have liked to learn about before working in a hospital and I asked the students what it was that they hoped to get from this experience. Goals and objectives for the students were planned out. By being a good role model and promoting students’ interaction with patients and other members of the healthcare team I hoped it might lead students into careers in healthcare.This mentoring opportunity made me see that one can be a leader without working in a traditional leadership position. I wanted to see how the students were influenced by their mentors and learn how the nurses felt about their experiences as leaders. As graduation was approaching, I talked with them and I was touched by the responses.

One day in 2007, while rounding on her geriatric psychiatry unit, Clinical Nurse Manager Lorna
Green encountered an agitated 89 year old crying for her Mommy and her doll. What do nurses do when confronted with emotional anguish? We stay present and listen. We feel and acknowledge the pain. We formulate a plan and act. Ms Green turned to Lola Bloomfield, Mental Health Associate and asked her to somehow come up with a doll. Ms Bloomfield created a pillowcase doll with arms and legs and “dressed” her with a red sash around her waist. The patient immediately embraced this pillowcase doll, her face lit up and she calmed down.
Curious and determined, Ms Green investigated doll therapy. She found a small amount of information on the internet and noticed most of the doll therapy research was done overseas. She sent one of her nurses, Kathy Clancy to Toys R Us and their first doll purchase was made.

The Doll ProjectSubmitted by Sylvie Jacobs, RN, BSN
Now Klingenstein Clinical Center 7 South seems to have dolls all over. They’re on shelves, they’re riding in a cart and they’re being carried in arms. They are culturally and gender diverse, with different facial expressions and dress. They are offered to patients who choose their doll, saying
sometimes that they remind them of relatives. Patients who are uncooperative with feeding seem to relax and eat better if they are also
“feeding” their babies. One gentleman was so agitated that he required four caregivers just to get through AM care. He chose a doll and became calm and cooperative. He was able to be discharged back to his long term care
facility. On follow up, he is still carrying and caring for his doll there.
This caught the eye of Dr Davis and Dr Porter who visited the unit and encouraged research to measure outcomes. 7 South began a log of patient observations. They
also measured the use of prn Haldol between patients who had dolls and those that did not. These results showed that patients with pre-existing symptoms of agitation who accepted the doll, used less Haldol prns than patients who did not accept the doll. (story continues on page 3)
Patients benefit by the care and connection they feel when holding a doll...members of the health care team can feel a
greater sense of satisfaction and purpose.

The Care Delivery Model is integrated within the Professional Practice Model and promotes continuous, consistent, efficient, and accountable delivery of nursing care. the Care Delivery Model is a system that is adapted to regulatory considerations and describes the manner in which care is planned and delivered, skill set required, context of care, and expected outcomes of care.
Based on the MSh Professional Practice Model of relationship Centered Care (MShrCC) and the tenets of Primary Nursing - nurse patient relationship, accountability, autonomy, continuity and collaboration – the Care Delivery Model is a modification of Primary Nursing. this model provides the framework for the planning, assignment and delivery of care on a daily basis.

Words from a grateful Mount Sinai Patient
“No one enjoys a hospital stay. However, your staff provided a remarkable level
of care to myself and from what I observed all the other patients.
They put a human face on my health care. Collectively and individually they
are a credit to Mount Sinai Hospital and their profession.
They positively impacted my stay and subsequent recovery. Myself and my family
are very grateful”

(BELOW)
Carol Porter and the Directors of Nursing rounded on all patient care units and provided the nursing staff with trays of cookies and heartfelt thanks.
as hurricane Sandy made landfall in New york City, the Mount Sinai Medical Center implemented its emergency preparedness plan and took in 107 evacuated patients from area hospitals that had lost power or endured storm damages.
When NyU langone Medical Center and Bellevue hospital Center lost power, Mount Sinai was ready with beds and staff to accept the evacuated patients, many of whom had serious and complex conditions.
Nurses from those hospitals were quickly credentialed and welcomed to Mount Sinai to work side-by-side with our nurses and the patient care teams to ensure continuity of care.

With transportation difficult, and in the midst of one of the worst storms to ever hit the Metropolitan New york area, our patients and families were taken care with exceptional expertise and compassion.
Patient care units made room, intensive care units were at maximum capacity, and nurses and staff members stayed at the hospital, sleeping on cots, working long hours, and providing our patients and families with the same high level of care we provide every day.
Between april and July of 2011 Mount Sinai implemented a state-of-the-art electronic clinical information system (ePIC) that provides a comprehensive electronic medical record. the ePIC system is widely acknowledged as best in class and was essential for us to improve the quality and safety of patient care, as well as remain at the forefront of innovation.
a group of 17 nurses, a physical therapist, a nutritionist, and 2 ancillary staff comprised the epic Project Implementation team (ePIt). the ePIt was created to serve as a liaison between the clinical providers and the Mount Sinai epic It project team. the 17 nurses were taken out of their clinical roles, received extensive training, and were dedicated Fte’s to the epic implementation. this group was led by the Senior Director of Nursing Finance and operations, amy albano, MBa, BSN, rN, FaChe.
the ePIts collaborated with the staff nurses in all the units, gathered the paper documentation, and proposed changes to the Nursing Informatics (NI) committee for standardization and approval. together with
the nursing leadership, the ePIts critically evaluated current clinical practices and documentation and assisted nursing leadership with improving the process. Post-live, the ePIts shadowed clinical and non-clinical staff to observe the workflow throughout a patient’s stay from admission to discharge to ensure all processes were running smoothly.they successfully bridged the gap between the clinical users and the It Project team which resulted in an almost seamless implementation of epic’s electronic health record.
