Nursing

A Letter from the DMC Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital VP of Patient Care Services I feel very privileged to be the Vice President of Patient Care Services at DMC Huron Valley Sinai hospital (HVSH).  When I joined HVSH in 2006, I was impressed by the sense of community and family that I felt throughout the hospital. I left a chief nurse position of a 600+ bed facility to come to a place where shared decision making and staff engagement is evident.  People work at HVSH because they want to; it isn’t just a job.  Everyone, regardless of their position, is part of a cohesive group working together toward one goal: quality patient care. The sense of belonging and the ability to see the importance of what each person does and how it contributes to the overall patient experience is unbeatable. I am very excited about the progressive and innovative things occurring at this 153 bed hospital.  Our affiliation with the Detroit Medical Center and Wayne State University affords us the support of a large organization for research and collaboration for programs such as from Children’s Hospital of Michigan when we need specialist back up for our kids or from Harper Hospital when we need 24 hour neuro surgeon support for our Stroke patients.  Yet we remain small enough where employees know and care about each other.  We are able to boast that we do not utilize outside agency nurse staffing to meet our patients’ needs.  In fact, our nursing vacancy rate consistently runs below four percent, well below the national average. In October 2007, we filed our application for Magnet designation. The Magnet Recognition Program® was developed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to recognize health care organizations that provide nursing excellence. Magnet designation is an important acknowledgment of nurses' worth, and a seal of approval of quality patient care. The Magnet journey will further develop the “5 star” culture for which our patients have come to know us.  It will help us to continue to strengthen the shared decision making environment that is so important to our nurses. I invite you to view the 2007 Nursing Annual Report to see some of the exciting things taking place at HVSH. Thank you for your interest in HVSH. Respectfully; Bette R.
