  Take Time to Get a Flu Vaccine                                 

Everyone is at risk for seasonal influenza.  Flu viruses are constantly changing and during each flu season, different flu viruses can spread.  Getting vaccinated against the flu every season protects against the three influenza viruses that research indicates will cause the most illness this season. 

 

GET VACCINATED AS SOON AS THE VACCINE BECOMES AVAILABLE IN YOUR COMMUNITY!

Getting vaccinated as soon as it is available provides protection in case the flu season comes early and will protect you throughout the entire flu season. 

 

PROTECT YOURSELF,

PROTECT NEWBORNS WHO CANNOT GET VACCINATED

AND

PROTECT PEOPLE AT HIGH RISK FOR COMPLICATIONS LIKE OUR PATIENTS HERE AT DMC

 

Get your flu vaccine as soon as possible.

Delta Medical Center Introduces Electronic Medication Records in the ICU this Month... 

Using bar-code technology with an electronic medication administration record (eMAR) substantially reduces transcription and medication administration errors, as well as potential drug-related adverse events, concludes a study funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS14053). Bar-code eMAR is a combination of technologies that ensures that the correct medication is administered in the correct dose at the correct time to the correct patient. When nurses use this combination of technologies, medication orders appear electronically in a patient's chart after pharmacist approval. Alerts are sent to nurses electronically if a patient's medication is overdue. Before administering medication, nurses are required to scan the bar codes on the patient's wristband and then on the medication. If the two don't match the approved medication order, or it is not time for the patient's next dose, a warning is issued.
