At University Hospitals, we’re committed to advancing the frontiers of medical innovation and patient safety. Jessica B., Assistant Nurse Manager, UH Cleveland Medical Center, is a shining example of this commitment. With a Bachelor’s degree in middle childhood education for math and science, she has a unique appreciation for the transformative power of the STEM disciplines.
After attaining her nursing degree, Jessica applied her math and science perspective to her work at University Hospitals.
When it comes to clinical innovation, Jessica is passionate about the process of actively looking for new ways to solve problems, improve patient safety and outcomes, and enhance the overall quality of care. “The key to successful innovation and change starts on the unit level,” Jessica says. “It starts with ensuring staff members are engaged in the process and receptive to change. We achieve this by creating a supportive environment where all staff feel comfortable expressing their opinions and concerns, sharing their ideas, and giving and receiving feedback.”
On Jessica’s unit, staff members are involved in brainstorming, decision-making, and implementation. Quality improvement is the responsibility of the entire team. Once an issue is identified, they research existing evidence-based practices (EBP) and use this to guide their decision-making when searching for creative solutions to make improvements.
Jessica credits the stimulating and supportive culture of UH for her success. “Whether we’re talking about research and innovation, continuing education, or career growth and development, UH offers an abundance of opportunities and resources,” Jessica says. “And there are plenty of supportive, friendly people to assist you in identifying and reaching your goals.”
