Video: A Special Message from MEDHOST’s Nurse Family

Nurses Appreciation Day is on May 6th, and as a member of the healthcare community with more than 20 nurses on our full-time staff, we’re more than happy to celebrate this observance.

We’re proud of our nurse family and their fellow colleagues working all across the nation to help keep our population healthy. As far as we are concerned, every day is a day to appreciate the important contributions of nurses.

Through all of healthcare’s many transitions, we believe nurses have always stood as critical factors in the healthcare process as care professionals, primary patient advocates, and health educators. We actively seek out individuals with hands-on clinical experience as a way to further enhance our healthcare data tools and services. These members of our staff are vital to making sure we continue to meet the evolving needs of those tasked with saving lives and keeping us well.

Hear from our team of nurse professionals about how their care backgrounds help us equip nurses with the straightforward resources they need to be most effective in promoting excellent patient outcomes.

00:00:00,500 –> 00:00:01,800

Hi, I’m Allen Lucia,

00:00:01,800 –> 00:00:04,320

I’m director of Sales

Solutions at MEDHOST and

00:00:04,320 –> 00:00:06,030

I’ve been a nurse for 22 years.

00:00:06,030 –> 00:00:07,110

I’m Chris Bloodworth,

00:00:07,110 –> 00:00:10,350

I’m the Director of Product

Strategy for Clinical Solutions

00:00:10,350 –> 00:00:11,790

here at MEDHOST and

00:00:11,790 –> 00:00:13,650

I’ve been a nurse for 35 years.

00:00:13,650 –> 00:00:14,760

My name is Gary Rochelle.

00:00:14,760 –> 00:00:17,790

I’m currently the Manager

of Departmental Support

00:00:17,790 –> 00:00:20,370

and I’ve been a nurse

for 10 years now.

00:00:20,370 –> 00:00:22,170

I’ve been a nurse for 21 years.

00:00:22,170 –> 00:00:24,060

I’ve been a nurse for 13 years.

00:00:24,060 –> 00:00:25,830

I’ve been a nurse for 24 years.

00:00:25,830 –> 00:00:29,280

I’ve been a registered

nurse for 18 years.

00:00:29,280 –> 00:00:32,850

At MEDHOST we try to accomplish what nurses

need every day for our products

00:00:32,850 –> 00:00:35,460

to be built around

a nurse’s workflow.

00:00:35,460 –> 00:00:37,590

We employ over 20

nurses here at MEDHOST

00:00:37,590 –> 00:00:39,780

to ensure that we deliver

products you need.

00:00:39,780 –> 00:00:42,060

Having a background as a

nurse has helped me better

00:00:42,060 –> 00:00:45,450

serve our customers because I’ve

walked a mile in your shoes.

00:00:45,450 –> 00:00:47,070

I completely

understand where you’re

00:00:47,070 –> 00:00:49,110

coming from when

it comes to working

00:00:49,110 –> 00:00:50,790

with an electronic

medical record.

00:00:50,790 –> 00:00:53,700

And so I really take that

information into account,

00:00:53,700 –> 00:00:55,200

and try to do

the best that I can

00:00:55,200 –> 00:00:57,660

to provide the feedback

that you guys give

00:00:57,660 –> 00:01:02,230

us to make our product

the best for your success.

00:01:02,230 –> 00:01:03,750

In my role of product strategy

00:01:03,750 –> 00:01:06,660

I do think it’s important to

have an understanding for how

00:01:06,660 –> 00:01:09,202

these tools are going to be used

in the different health care

00:01:09,202 –> 00:01:14,380

settings. And the fact that I’ve

had a varied nursing career

00:01:14,380 –> 00:01:18,240

I think brings a lot of

value understanding workflows

00:01:18,240 –> 00:01:19,380

in the different areas.

00:01:19,380 –> 00:01:23,130

It’s very beneficial having the

clinical experience for

00:01:23,130 –> 00:01:25,020

us within the

education department

00:01:25,020 –> 00:01:27,420

to better understand

the workflow

00:01:27,420 –> 00:01:29,320

and the needs of our customers.

00:01:29,320 –> 00:01:31,320

Working at the bedside gave me

00:01:31,320 –> 00:01:33,360

all the clinical

background that I needed

00:01:33,360 –> 00:01:36,540

to be able to try to make

good clinical judgments

00:01:36,540 –> 00:01:39,750

for the enhancements that we

put into the applications here

00:01:39,750 –> 00:01:40,860

at MEDHOST

00:01:40,860 –> 00:01:42,780

I am proud to represent

this profession

00:01:42,780 –> 00:01:44,310

through my work

at MEDHOST as we

00:01:44,310 –> 00:01:47,790

continue to partner with those

on the forefront of patient care.

00:01:47,790 –> 00:01:50,760

Being a nurse has paved the way

and set the foundation for what

00:01:50,760 –> 00:01:52,290

I do each and every day.

00:01:52,290 –> 00:01:54,570

It allows me to

know what our nurses

00:01:54,570 –> 00:01:57,630

need, and allows us to

advise on best practice

00:01:57,630 –> 00:02:00,690

and workflows necessary to

provide them a solution to care

00:02:00,690 –> 00:02:02,310

for their patients.

00:02:02,310 –> 00:02:04,020

I want to say thank

you to all our nurses

00:02:04,020 –> 00:02:05,910

out there as we

celebrate nurse’s week,

00:02:05,910 –> 00:02:08,729

we appreciate your

dedication to your patients.

00:02:08,729 –> 00:02:10,259

On behalf of all

of us here at MEDHOST

00:02:10,259 –> 00:02:12,120

a happy nurse’s week

00:02:12,120 –> 00:02:14,070

and we’re thankful

to support you as you deliver

excellent patient care.

00:02:17,310 –> 00:02:20,160

MEDHOST is proud to play

a small part in the care

00:02:20,160 –> 00:02:23,460

that you provide your patients

and communities every day.

00:02:23,460 –> 00:02:24,700

On behalf of everyone here

00:02:24,700 –> 00:02:25,390

00:02:25,390 –> 00:02:27,000

I wish you all a

We really appreciate all

the work that you do

00:02:29,550 –> 00:02:32,392

I would like to say thank

you to all the nurses

00:02:34,350 –> 00:02:36,898

patients your priority.

00:02:36,898 –> 00:02:38,940

difference in the lives

00:02:58,920 –> 00:03:00,780
