2010 WellStar Medical Staff Engagement Survey

The annual WellStar Medical Staff Engagement Survey, being conducted April 19 to June 7, provides an opportunity for members of the Medical Staff team to share feedback and identify areas for further improvement. Once again, Press Ganey Associates will administer the survey and individual responses will be confidential. Facility and System results will be available in July and will compare WellStar to national benchmarks. This year, for the first time, advanced practitioners will be included in the survey.

WellStar System Computers to be Down from Saturday, April 24 to Sunday, April 25

In order to replace the aging Uninterruptible Power Supply unit at the WellStar Development Center, all electrical power to the WDC must be shut off. Therefore, all WellStar computer systems must be shut down and off line.

In-Room Device Deployment

By June 30, 2010, WellStar will offer computer access at patients’ bedsides in single-patient rooms, greatly improving clinicians’ workflow where they need it most. New, wall-mounted computer workstations will be installed in every private patient room throughout all WellStar hospitals.
