Janet is always open-minded and looks at all facets when there are patient safety deviations and courageously holds teams to the highest level of patient safety and advocacy.
Janet consistently leads and demonstrates the Nursing Code of Ethics for both Memorial Hermann Southwest and Sugarland Hospitals. As a "nurse-ethics" leader, Janet guides, instructs, and teaches nurses and nursing teams on process improvement in the areas encompassing ethical codes such as nonmaleficence, beneficence, autonomy, justice, and privacy/confidentiality. Janet's dedication to improving quality and patient safety has led SW to successful Joint Commission Accreditation surveys and a multitude of dynamic and cross-functional quality and patient safety action plans, and she consistently provides a foundation of respect for all employees when reviewing the quality of patient care concerns. Janet is always open-minded and looks at all facets when there are patient safety deviations and courageously holds teams to the highest level of patient safety and advocacy. Janet spends endless hours working with teams to achieve the best possible outcomes in quality and patient safety. Her approach is kind, yet she will hold teams accountable for policy and procedure. A nurse-ethics leader is expected to be compassionate and interactive, but most of all, Janet is able to successfully influence nurses to behave ethically within their profession and guide nurses on how they should act when encountering barriers that prevent them from fulfilling their professional obligations. Thank you, Janet, for all that you do!
