Position Title: Patient Safety Technician, Total Joint/Ortho
Job Description Summary:
Unit Description: The Total Joint unit, also known as 5a, is a 21 bed unit that provides preoperative and postoperative care to patients age 15 and up. Our population consists of Total Joint patients who have had their hip or knee replaced, orthopedic patients, which includes those with traumatic injuries, general surgery patients such as laparoscopic appendectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, etc., and a variety of medical patients. We also provide care to patients who are considered class 2 telemetry patients. Our unit is unique, as we work very closely with physical therapy in the care of our joint patients, to ensure early mobilization of patients, leading to a sooner recovery and discharge to home. We also have a very collaborative relationship with the physicians, which enhances the patient's experience. Most of our patients utilize our outpatient pharmacy, have their medication delivered to the bedside, and receive education from a pharmacist. This process aids in patients being compliant in getting their prescribed medications, and potentially being more compliant in using them due to the ease of delivery during discharge.
Purpose & Scope:
The Patient Safety Technician works under the direct supervision of the RN and is an active member of the health care team. Under the direct supervision of a licensed nurse, the Patient Safety Technician performs a variety of routine duties to include: feeding, dressing, or toileting, observing changes in the status of patients, maintaining the safety of patients who are confused, at high risk for falls, or require one-to-one observation, providing a clean and safe environment, assisting with department tasks as needed, transporting patients, unit secretary tasks, and other related duties. Patient Safety Technicians must be empathetic and have good communication skills to care for patients.
Education:
High School Diploma or equivalent is required.
Experience:
Experience in customer service is preferred.
Certification/Licensure:
BLS certification is required.
