Patient Care Committee Assignment

The importance of effective committees is also the training ground for future leadership and an arena where emerging leaders can test and refine their skills and abilities. (Pozgar, G. D. 2019). Patient Care Committee can be either in a hospital, nursing home, mental health center or physician offices (Vine, S., & Sheppard, J. 2019, Chapter 3 pp. 28-29). Some of the function’s that patient care committee does are developing a hospital formulary, ER policies, and oversees general patient management. (Sarnikar, S. 2012, Chapter 4, pp.Patient Care Committee Assignment

2-10). For example, when I was working for Cape Cod Hospital, in Hyannis, Mass some of my functions were I oversee the ER policies which I had to keep them up to date on a monthly basis and monitoring all patient care practices and to ensure that the standards are up to date. (Buchbinder, B.S., & Shanks, H.N. 2017, Chapter 3, pp 12-13).

Another example when I worked for Cape Cod Hospital, my functions where I oversee discussions, scheduling meetings, and assign other staff tasks, and making sure that the next meeting is scheduled.
