Jamie is honored with the DAISY Award because of her commitment to excellence. She was recently mentioned in a Press Ganey Survey with the comments "she was very nice, treated you like you were human and she was very knowledgeable about draining the bulbs and the meds". Another comment referred to her as an "Angel" and mentioned how she was diligent in pain management and never let the patient sit in pain.

Jamie not only commits to excellent patient care delivery but she uses the higher level of education currently being obtained through her Master's degree courses to improve the practice of patient pain scales and different options. She feels compelled to use the best evidence available to grow our practice not only as part of her job, but as an obligation to our patients and our community. When there have been areas to improve patient safety in medication administration and BMV, Jamie can be counted to drive results by escalating concerns and never settling for the status quo.

Recently there was a near miss on the way that BMV scanned keppra and antiseizure medication, registering it as a lower dose than what was in her hand. With her keen duty to utilize the 5 rights of medication administration she prevented a medication error and was the reason an overdose was prevented.
