Congratulations to both Lindsey Serino and Lindsey Edwards — winners of the quarterly ‘Good Catch’ Awards.

Good Catch Awards highlight individuals, groups or departments who demonstrate their commitment to keeping patients safe by reporting a near miss. A ‘good catch’ (or near miss) is an event or situation that could have resulted in harm, but did not reach the patient because of chance or timely intervention. Reporting these events can help to identify gaps in order to prevent future adverse events from happening.

Lindsey S. works in the Clinical Lab and Lindsey E. is a member of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit team. They were each awarded a certificate and a gift card to the Goods & Co Market.

New winners will be randomly selected every quarter. Please continue submitting your near misses for a chance to win! Near miss reports are submitted through the Incident Learning System (patient safety incidents). Click on the ‘safety reporting‘ icon from your Novell home page, or go to the iNtranet and click ‘Safety Reporting‘ under ‘Informational‘.
