Ivinson is amazing, and it is because of nurses such as Peter.
I am writing to nominate an exceptional registered nurse at Ivinson Medical Group, Peter Skorcz, for a DAISY Award! He works closely with my husband B’s primary provider. He has been instrumental in our medical home and health journey. I believe that he exemplifies the skillful, compassionate care that the DAISY Award Program was designed to honor.
Examples in the past 2 years are almost too numerous to mention. But due to a fall that B experienced, resulting in a ruptured spleen, surgery, and GI bleeding (he was on blood-thinning meds), we have needed many visits, lab tests, and referrals for care in the UC health care system. And Peter has been there for us the entire time.
He did things like:
1. Shared lab results when I could not access B’s “My Health Connections” while we were at PVH, as we didn’t have passwords and couldn’t get through to the reset people!
2. Called daily to find out how we, and especially me, were doing and how things were going, and shared that information with the doctor during that long, complicated stay.
3. He would say to me, “Call if you need anything else," and I knew I could do that. I had no doubt that he was caring and supporting us as much as he could, knowing that the providers at PVH were in charge of B’s care. His part in this event was emotional support, and he knew that! And he never exceeded his authority or interfered with the PVH plan of care. Went above and beyond without exceeding authority. He understands nursing boundaries and does not push them!
4. When we returned home, he got our follow-up appointments scheduled without my call to get those done and let us know when to arrive.
5. Another serious emergency ambulance trip to PVH happened about a year later, and again, he was there for us. Caring and getting us immediate appointments with the doctor when B returned anemic and weak to recover at home. When we visit the office and need follow-up labs and X-rays, he has walked us to those places and helped limit our wait times and troubles. The office is often busy, and he will always greet us and help us with the coordination of care if needed. He goes the extra mile with a smile!
6. Most recently, he helped us get a potential drug side effect issue dealt with promptly, as he knew I was exhausted and fearful. It never stops, his caring and calm reassurance, along with follow-up. I have told him how much it means to have his help, but I think everyone around him needs to know how much we appreciate him, and how lucky we are to have high-quality, caring nurses like Peter available in our hometown, our medical home, and our local hospital. Ivinson is amazing, and it is because of nurses such as Peter. The DAISY Award is a wonderful way to provide this recognition.
