CVICU is receiving the DAISY TEAM Award for 2024 for being the only unit to meet all the Beacon metrics (HAPI, CAUTI, CLABSI, falls with injury: 8 quarters of improved performance), allowing them to seek Beacon recognition. In addition, the results of the HWEAT (Healthy Work Environment Assessment Tool) showed a “very healthy work environment” (that includes six standards-skilled communication, authentic leadership, meaningful recognition, appropriate staffing, effective decision-making, and true collaboration), which is greatly improved over last year’s Tier 2 employee engagement. As well as this department's participation and engagement in the year-long CV education curriculum. This unit also has a > 50% certification rate and strong leadership, with Briana Ruiz, RN, acting as the Nurse Practice Council Chair and as a delegate at System Congress, representing Memorial Hermann Southwest. Thank you for all you do CVICU!
