ach and every time I step inside Barwon Health, University Hospital Geelong, commissioned to work along side the dedicated medical, management and volunteer teams, to document various health care professionals, I’m continually impressed with their focus, addressing key challenges, in complex health care environments,
While at times, in exhausting moments, medical staff, continue to genuinely demonstrate a true sense of compassion.
The environment is real.
We work in real time.
Katrina Lawrence Pty Ltd is privileged to be trusted to ensure we in-turn reciprocate with respect and professional attentiveness to the staff & patients and community, as the situation can change quickly.
I’ll be upfront.
Occasionally there’s some negative flack in the press.
Lets please take a step back & look deep, into a organisation, who provide exceptional health care within our community.
I encourage community to make time to understand, gain a good sense of the magnitude of what it takes with logistics, to manage and deliver health care services.
Please make time to read the Quality of Care Magazine to gain insight into ongoing commitment, finding solutions into improving healthy outcomes by improving systems to improve our lives:
Take for example:
- ICU able to report zero central line associated blood stream infections (CLABSIs) over consecutive years.
- ICU’s commitment to achieving world-class critical care and infection prevention.
- Reducing wastage of blood and blood products during cardiac surgery by cardiothoracic surgeons BoZhang and Andrew Cheng together with nurses fLisa Stevenson and Anissa Yttrup.
- Reducing waiting times for patients on their day of chemotherapy treatments within Andrew Love Cancer Centre.
- Transition services providing a bridge between paediatric & adult health for young people with complex medical conditions and disability
- Robotic system dispensing medications, first of its type to be installed in an Australian health service.
And the list goes on.
Having worked within the medical industry for 28 years, its without doubt, an absolute privilege to work alongside, a cross section of medical, management and volunteers dedicated to improve community health.
