Because of Ron, processes are safer, communication is clearer, and, ultimately, patients receive better care.
Ron Haymore draws labs and manages appointments and referrals for many patients who are treated for infectious diseases, ensuring that they are seen regularly by VCU and are on the needed medications for their conditions.
He is a super user for our DocHealth EHR. He is knowledgeable about this system and helps others in our unit learn the processes needed. He has been instrumental in helping our unit adjust and learn to use the new system successfully.
He assists with audiology testing, communication with VCU concerning needed appointments, 340-B, and other expensive medications. He frequently assists with diabetics for the early morning diabetic call or whatever may be needed on our unit. Our medical unit would not be the same without him. He ensures that the patients he interacts with receive quality care.
In a role that exists behind the scenes in the laboratory, he has redefined what it means to provide compassionate, patient-centered care. He understands that every specimen represents a personal life, a story, a patient depending on accuracy, timeliness, and attention to detail. That perspective is reflected in everything he does.
During one of the most challenging transitions our organization has faced, moving from paper documentation to a fully integrated Electronic Health Record, Ron became a steady, guiding presence. Change of this magnitude can be overwhelming, frustrating, and, at times, discouraging. Yet he approached it with patience, determination, and an unwavering commitment to doing what was best for patients and staff alike.
Drawing on prior EHR experience, he didn't just complete tasks; he led with purpose. He anticipated challenges before they became problems, helped design workflows that truly made sense for clinical practice, and ensured that the integrity of patient information was never compromised.
More importantly, he never lost sight of the people around. When others felt unsure, he was the calm voice offering reassurance. When colleagues struggled, he showed up again and again with guidance, encouragement, and kindness. He answered questions without judgment, helped others feel confident, and celebrated even the smallest victories along the way. His support turned what could have been a stressful transition into an opportunity for growth and teamwork.
What makes Ron truly special is not just his expertise, but his heart. He embodies the essence of nursing in a space where compassion isn't always seen but is always present. Because of him, processes are safer, communication is clearer, and, ultimately, patients receive better care.
Ron is the kind of person who makes an organization better simply by being part of it.
