Internet Access in the Waiting Room
As a convenience to those who escort patients to our endoscopy center, we created a small workstation in our waiting area. While friends or family members are having surgery, people with laptop computers can dial-up their Internet provider and check their e-mail or browse the Web.

RMV->)Reduce red bag waste
Educating our nurses is the key to cutting our red bag disposal expenses. Many of our nurses put anything that touched the patient's skin into red bag waste, but OSHA regulations say that only items that have drips of blood or dried blood that could flake off constitute red bag waste. We've gone from spending $20,000 a year in disposal costs to $4,000.
