Recognizing Extraordinary Nurses for Excellence"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>DAISY Award \u2013 Recognizing Extraordinary Nurses for Excellence in Patient Flow&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>and their Commitment to Timely, Compassionate, Well-coordinated Patient Care<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bonnie and Mark Barnes are the co-founders of&nbsp;The DAISY Foundation, an organization that recognizes the important role that nurses play in delivering thoughtful, compassionate care to patients.&nbsp; The Barnes created The DAISY Foundation to honor the memory of their son Patrick and the outstanding nurses who cared for him during his battle with&nbsp;Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura&nbsp;[ITP], an autoimmune disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sixteen years ago, we experienced extraordinary nursing when our son, Patrick, was hospitalized for eight weeks with the auto-immune disease ITP.&nbsp; During that terrible time in a bone marrow transplant [BMT] unit, we saw nurses who were highly skilled; adept at using all the technology needed to care for Pat; and extremely competent in every way.&nbsp; Frankly, we expected he would have high quality clinical care.&nbsp; What we didn\u2019t expect was how that care would be delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pat\u2019s nurses were deeply compassionate and sensitive\u2014not only to him as their patient, but to all of us in his family as well.&nbsp; When he died, we felt strongly that we needed find a way to say \u201cthank you\u201d to nurses for what they do naturally every day \u2014the things that seem simple but are so meaningful to a patient and family\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why we created The DAISY Foundation, an acronym for&nbsp;<em>D<\/em>iseases&nbsp;<em>A<\/em>ttacking the&nbsp;<em>I<\/em>mmune&nbsp;<em>Sy<\/em>stem, and T<strong>he DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses<\/strong>, a recognition program that celebrates their extraordinary compassion throughout the year.&nbsp; Today, nearly 2,300 healthcare facilities are committed to honoring their nurses with The DAISY Award.&nbsp; More than 750,000 nurses have been nominated\u2014by the patients, families, and colleagues who want to express their gratitude to nurses by telling stories of extraordinary care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What did not occur to us when Patrick was admitted was that there must have been a patient flow champion arranging for his bed in the BMT unit\u2014before he arrived at the hospital by ambulance bleeding internally and in severe pain.&nbsp; That nurse was invisible to us and the process seemed seamless\u2014we arrived at the hospital and Patrick was immediately taken to the room that was awaiting his arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting back, we have come to understand that nurses who specialize in patient flow often work behind the scenes, coordinating all aspects of care so that patients and their families can experience the same seamless process that we did.&nbsp; We are deeply grateful to that nurse, whoever she or he may have been.&nbsp; That nurse relieved one of the worries patients and families have \u2013 will we actually get the bed we need at the time we desperately need it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why we are proud to be teaming up with&nbsp;TeleTracking&nbsp;to say a very special \u201cthank you\u201d to patient flow nurses by shining a light on the important role they play in patient care\u2014that also has an important impact on patients and families like ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through&nbsp;<em>The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses in Patient Flow, sponsored by TeleTracking<\/em>, we will get to say \u2018thank you\u2019 to all the nurses whose extraordinary efforts help ensure that we as patients and families have access to the right bed at the right time\u2014along with thoughtful, compassionate care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>By Bonnie and Mark Barnes, FAANs, Co-founders, The DAISY Foundation<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAISY Award \u2013 Recognizing Extraordinary Nurses for Excellence in Patient Flow&nbsp;and their Commitment to Timely, Compassionate, Well-coordinated Patient Care Bonnie and Mark Barnes are the co-founders of&nbsp;The DAISY Foundation, an organization that recognizes the important role that nurses play in delivering thoughtful, compassionate care to patients.&nbsp;
