Second prize and ‘People’s Choice award’ winner was Radiology Department Registered Nurse Jason Money.
Jason presented an innovative quality improvement process initiated by the radiology and cardiology teams to
change the practice of inserting catheters for Cardiac Catheterisation procedure via the femoral artery to the
radial artery. The goal of this initiative was to find a better way to do the procedure that would reduce
complication and increase patient and staff satisfaction.
Sheree Furness, Quality and Patient Safety Coordinator for Anaesthesia and Surgical services, worked with a
team including property services carpenter Simon Wagner and nursing staff to design and develop a portable
write-up trolley for use at patients bedsides. The goal of this innovation was to address quality issues related
to medication administration and has resulted in improving patient safety and experience, staff wellbeing and
efficiency of care.
