Samaritan Celebrates April 2021 DAISY and BEE Award Recipients

Samaritan Medical Center is pleased to announce its DAISY and BEE Award recipients for April 2021. The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses® recognizes exemplary nursing staff at the hospital and all outpatient clinics, and the BEE Award honors other outstanding staff members who support patient care.

Ami Mitteer, Staff RN Float, received the DAISY Award and Sally Carrese, Environmental Services, was honored with the BEE Award. Both honorees were nominated by Samaritan colleagues and selected by a committee.

Mitteer was nominated for her reliability, positive attitude, and confidence working in various departments throughout Samaritan Medical Center.

“Amy floated on our department without batting an eye with her consistent warm smile and collaborative demeanor,” the nomination letter reads. “She is a quick learner and maintains a confident approach to each and every assignment to ensure it is safe and enjoyable. There was never apprehension or negativity. She was such a breath of fresh air and such a joy to work with.”

For receiving the DAISY Award – which is an international award backed by The DAISY Foundation – Mitteer was presented a certificate commending her as an extraordinary nurse, a DAISY Award pin, and a symbolic sculpture called “A Healer’s Touch,” which is hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe. A larger version of this sculpture is on display in the Healing Gardens at Samaritan in honor of all DAISY and BEE Award winners. It was purchased using funds donated by the Samaritan Auxiliary.

Carrese was nominated for the BEE Award for her patient-focused approach to her work and her true understanding of how her work can keep patients safe:

“Sally is instrumental in keeping our patients safe on Maternity,” her nomination letter reads. “She works hard every day ensuring rooms are cleaned to the highest standard. I have overheard Sally when she orients new staff, explaining to them the importance of cleaning properly to keep patients safe. She truly understands and passes on this knowledge to those she teaches. She is a role model for anyone working in Environmental Services (EVS).”

Carrese was presented a certificate, a BEE Award pin, and a gift bag with other tokens of gratitude.

Both awards will continue to be presented throughout the year, and nominations can be submitted by patients, families, or colleagues at any time. To make a nomination, or to learn more about the DAISY and BEE Awards, visit www.samaritanhealth.com/daisy-bee.

Samaritan Medical Center Awarded $5,000 to Expand Home Monitoring Program

Funds from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield’s Community Health Award will purchase pulse oximeters, allowing certain patients to monitor and manage conditions at home

WATERTOWN, NY – Samaritan Medical Center has received $5,000 from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield’s Community Health Award to expand its home healthcare monitoring program.

Through a competitive application process, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield’s Community Health Awards help fund programs that improve the health or health care of a specific population, programs that aim to improve the health status of the community, closes the gaps in health disparities, reduces the incidence of specific diseases, promotes health education and assists our communities in dealing with COVID.

Funds awarded to Samaritan Medical Center will be used to purchase up to 40 medical-grade pulse oximeters, small devices which measure patients’ oxygen saturation levels. These instruments will be issued to outpatients whose oxygenation-related symptoms are not severe enough to require hospitalization, so that their conditions can be monitored at home.

In addition to being sent home with a pulse oximeter, a patient is issued instructions on device usage and a phone number to call should their oxygen saturation levels drop. A care team assigned to each patient provides ongoing follow-up care, including regular home and/or telemedicine visits during the patient’s treatment and recovery periods.

“We are thankful for this support from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield as we seek to enhance convenience of care for our patients,” said Dr. Mario Victoria, Vice President of Medical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer at Samaritan. “We recognize hospitalization is not something any of us want, and if we can safely monitor patients at home using devices like a pulse oximeter, along with the help of our well-trained staff from Samaritan Home Health, we will produce positive outcomes for these patients.”

Earlier this year, Samaritan successfully piloted a program issuing pulse oximeters to COVID-19 patients whose moderate-to-serious symptoms did not warrant hospital admittance. The Community Health Award from Excellus BCBS will allow the hospital to expand the program to other types of patients whose conditions require oxygen monitoring, such as those diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The Excellus BCBS Community Health Award significantly expands Samaritan’s ability to provide timely, expert medical care that enables patients to recover in the comfort of their homes and avoid costly hospitalization. This helps ensure hospital beds and resources are available to more severely ill patients, easing pressure on hospital bed capacity during the uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The company’s Community Health Awards demonstrate a corporate commitment to support local organizations that share our mission as a nonprofit health plan,” said Eve Van de Wal, regional president of Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. “These awards complement our existing grants and sponsorships with agencies that work to enhance quality of life, including health status, in upstate New York.”

Improving access to quality, affordable health care services for our community is a continued goal of both Samaritan Medical Center and Excellus BlueCross BlueShield in their mutual mission to strengthen the region’s overall health care system.

Samaritan Celebrates March 2021 DAISY and BEE Award Recipients

Samaritan Medical Center is pleased to announce its DAISY and BEE Award recipients for March 2021. The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses® recognizes exemplary nursing staff at the hospital, and the BEE Award honors other outstanding staff members who support patient care.

Alison Nugent, RN, of Samaritan’s Infusion Unit, received the DAISY Award and Laura Ross, Patient Care Assistant (PCA) in the Emergency Department, was honored with the BEE Award. Both honorees were nominated by Samaritan colleagues and selected by a committee.

Nugent was nominated for going above and beyond to provide monoclonal antibody therapy to residents of Samaritan Summit Village who had COVID-19. She and co-worker Kodie Anderson, RN, BSN, came into work on the weekend of New Year’s Day to provide the therapy to five residents. Since they worked together, they were both nominated in the same letter, and Anderson was recognized as the February 2021 DAISY recipient.

“I believe these two nurses demonstrated patient centered care, acknowledging that we have many locations and entities at Samaritan and we are all here to deliver safe quality care,” the nomination letter reads. “I am so extremely proud of these nurses and feel they both deserve to be DAISY recipients since they have responded as a tag-team with a warm welcome and smile.”

For receiving the DAISY Award – which is an international award backed by The DAISY Foundation – Nugent was presented a certificate commending her as an extraordinary nurse, a DAISY Award pin, and a symbolic sculpture called “A Healer’s Touch,” which is hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe. A larger version of this sculpture is on display in the Healing Gardens at Samaritan in honor of all DAISY and BEE Award winners. It was purchased using funds donated by the Samaritan Auxiliary.

Ross was nominated for the BEE Award by Karen Jobson, RN, Emergency Department Nurse Manager, for her compassion, friendliness and hard work to support patient care:

“Laura is an amazing PCA,” Jobson writes in her nomination. “She is compassionate and engaged and provides exceptional care to patients. Laura is a very hard worker — when she has a moment of down time, I can find her cleaning the utility rooms, putting away supplies, making sure all the patient rooms are adequately stocked and free of clutter. Laura always greets our customers with a ‘hello’ and a friendly smile. She definitely displays Samaritan’s HEART values and behaviors.”

Ross was presented a certificate, a BEE Award pin, and a gift bag with other tokens of gratitude.

Both awards will continue to be presented throughout the year, and nominations can be submitted by patients, families, or colleagues at any time. To make a nomination, or to learn more about the DAISY and BEE Awards, visit www.samaritanhealth.com/daisy-bee.
