Presenters: Ashley Fox and Sydney Britton- School of Health Professions- OT Student Group

Topic: “Finding Your Rejuvenating Activity”

Please encourage caregivers, family members and patients to attend! 

"Time-Out “is a weekly educational/support session for caregivers and family members of UTMB patients, to support them in their adjustment and maintenance of their caregiving role.  These sessions will not be tied to a specific diagnosis- all caregivers and family members are welcome.  The hope is that these sessions will provide a chance for them to have “time out” to relieve some stress, have a little fun, build on care giving skills, decrease burnout and affirm that they are not alone in the role of caregiving.

These sessions are facilitated by UTMB students and staff and will occur every Wednesday at 2pm in Jennie Sealy 2.506A.  Sessions will last around 30 minutes and will address topics that falls into the following categories: Relaxation, Self-Care, Discharge Planning and Medical Topics.  

If you have questions or are interested in facilitating a session, please contact Savannah Parks at sjparks@utmb.edu or 409-266-7542.

NEW! Patient Experience and Event Reporting System goes live June 21

UTMB’s current Patient Safety Net (PSN) reporting system will be replaced on Thursday, June 21 with a new and improved patient event reporting system. In addition to capturing information on near misses and adverse events, users will now have the ability to submit patient experience reports such as compliments and complaints.

The new system, Midas+ Juvo, will be referred to at UTMB simply as the “Patient Experience and Event Reporting System.”

Access to the system will continue to be available via the iUTMB homepage - the current Patient Safety Net (PSN) button will be replaced.

For more about the new system, including what will be different and what will remain the same, please visit Quality, Safety & Performance Improvement website at http://intranet.utmb.edu/QHS/PatientSafety/PatientEventReportingSystem.asp
