Horse Drawn Infirmary Cart
No full textAccording to the National EMS Museum, The American Civil War brought on many advancements in horse drawn patient transport. Dr. Edward B. Dalton, noticed that traditional stretchers, horse -drawn carts, and two -wheeled wagons caused more damage to already wounded soldiers. His new horse drawn ambulances sheltered patients with a hard roof and a suspension system reduced injury during transportation to field hospitals. The S.R. Smith Infirmary’s inauguration of emergency medical service started in 1905.https://academicworks.medicine.hofstra.edu/siuh_photo_archive/1028/thumbnail.jp

Nurse Transporting a Cart with Medications
No full textNursing from the 1930s to 1950s was greatly impacted by the Great Depression and World War II. During the Great Depression, nursing school enrollment decreased and stipends were reduced. In the 1940s, nurses were drafted to treat wounded soldiers on the battlefield, making volunteer nurses aides an invaluable resource. Illustrated here is a nurse transporting a cart with medications.https://academicworks.medicine.hofstra.edu/siuh_photo_archive/1006/thumbnail.jp

No full textHillrom Nurse CallSo Much More Than a Hospital Call Light
No full textHillrom Nurse Call is an advanced digital call bell system designed to enhance patient care by automating alarms, improving staff visibility, and enabling mobility for care teams. It routes patient call bells and room alarms to mobile devices or nursing stations, allowing for quick response and call light cancellation upon entering a room. Key features include automated safety alerts, customizable request buttons, reminders, and equipment notifications. Integrated with technologies like Power over Ethernet (PoE) and EMR systems, the platform improves response times, standardizes alarm management, and enhances patient satisfaction, leading to better HCAHPS scores
North Shore Safety Champions
No full textTo alleviate administrative burdens on nurses and unit managers, the Safety Services department initially recruited safety liaisons within hospital units to manage safety binder updates, attend rounds, and participate in safety meetings. The safety liaison also served as a point of contact for safety-related questions and incidents, as well as a conduit for disseminating safety information. However, due to the large number of units (over 70), the program shifted to a champion model to broaden participation and enhance recruitment. The goal is to increase hospital-wide involvement in safety initiatives by collaborating with nursing administration, where each unit appoints a safety champion who receives clinical ladder points. Currently, there are 30 champions, with a target of 75. Starting in January 2025, department managers will be emailed with information about the safety champion roles and responsibilities, encouraging them to select a representative for their unit. Clinical team members can reach out to their nursing education representative or unit manager to express interest, and quarterly meetings will track attendance for clinical ladder points
