I am nominating the LDC Taskforce Team for their hard work during the weeks and the day of the move into the new Brown University Labor and Delivery Center.
This team supported the move into the new LDC by putting in many hours in addition to their regularly scheduled shifts by doing things like stocking, organizing, cleaning, and collaborating with the entire team about how the stock should be organized and where items should go. They were even seen using Goo-be-gone in order to prepare the stock carts in all 20 new LDC rooms.
They stocked and organized 20 maternal and 20 neonatal stock carts for the LDC rooms. They selected which stock items would be included in each cart after discussing with their peers. They organized each storage room by placing bins and using a label maker to clearly label and mark what items were where. They walked through every LDC room, making sure it would be ready for use come move day. They organized files in the team room and made sure the secretary's desk had each file they would need. They ensured that there were files stocked in each filing cabinet in the 4 pods in order to make them easily accessible to the team. They walked through the members of the team into each room, inquiring if they agreed and confirmed that the storage items would be functional for the entire team. They used their personal Cricut machine to make stork birds for the maternal stock carts and little teddy bears for the neonatal stock carts. The amount of care they took it what they did certainly showed how much this unit means to them. The engagement they lead with allowed the entire team in LDC to then be more engaged about moving into the bigger unit.
On move day, they ensured every RN was comfortable before moving their patient over into the new space, which included making sure they could sign into the computer and making sure they had all the stock items they would need in the room to appropriately care for their patient. Their efforts did not go unnoticed by leadership and senior leadership. Even now after the move they are all committed to continuing these efforts by holding weekly committee meetings to address concerns and trouble shoot any issues that may arise to us brought by the team.
We are forever grateful to their selfless efforts in preparing the LDC for what it is today.
