The Good
Samaritan Hospital Emergency Department was among six winners of the third
annual T-System
Client Excellence Awards, chosen from more than 1,900 facilities
nationwide that have implemented T-System's emergency care solutions.
Good Samaritan received the award for their project aimed at reducing
alcohol-related trauma and abuse by documenting on T Sheets® the
time and location of a patient's most recent alcohol consumption.
The hospital
is collaborating with local law enforcement and community agencies to identify
and raise awareness of establishments that serve alcohol to minors to
over-serve patrons.
T-System chief executive officer Sunny Sanyal said,
"The winners have made remarkable contributions in their individual
communities and in the emergency care industry."
This is the
second T-System award for the Emergency Department; they earned a Nursing Care Efficiency honors
in 2010.
