“I congratulate the entire team for their work to create an environment that puts the patient at the center of everything we do,” added Toby Marsh, chief nursing and patient care services officer for UC Davis Medical Center. Out of a possible 600 points, they earned 576 points - the 3rd-highest ever recorded by AMSN. They received a perfect score for Leadership and Patient Outcomes. The team achieved advanced practice scores in every category and earned a near-perfect score for the Healthy Practice Environment category. “The exceptional work your team is doing in evident the second you walk through the door and your team should be incredibly proud.” “The PRISM Award® is a recognition given to med-surge nurses from med-surge nurses,” said Foster. Tower 4 Nurse Manager Emily Torres and fellow registered nurses Wes Foster, president of the MSNCB Board of Directors, presented the Tower 4 team with the award during a ceremony on April 5. The award is given to outstanding acute care/med-surg units or adult/pediatric units classified as med-surg. It is co-sponsored by the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses (AMSN) and the Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board (MSNCB). The award, which stands for Premier Recognition in the Specialty of Med-Surg, is the first of its kind honoring med-surg nursing units in the United States and internationally. “I am grateful for the collaboration this team has shown over the last two years, which highlights the importance of strong teamwork when providing patient care.” “We are honored to receive this award designation, which is an acknowledgment of the safe, high-quality care we deliver to our patients on a daily basis,” said Emily Torres, nurse manager for the team known as Tower 4. The 28-bed medical-surgical unit, which specializes in pre- and post-operative Ear, Nose and Throat Cancers, is a two-time recipient of the AMSN PRISM Award® and the only team west of the Mississippi River to receive the recognition twice. The national medical-surgical (med-surg) award recognizes the collective achievements and contributions of the unit’s nursing staff. The Tower 4 Ear, Nose and Throat/Internal Medicine Unit of UC Davis Medical Center has received the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses (AMSN) PRISM Award®.
