“I would like to thank each nominee for their exceptional attention to detail and commitment to high-reliability practices,” said Dr. Goldstein. “It is your dedication to a culture of safety and situational awareness that allows NEMG to provide exceptional patient care to the communities we serve. It is a privilege for me to be able to acknowledge and recognize members of the NEMG team that truly exemplify outstanding behaviors and have such a positive impact on the patients we care for.”
The Great Catch Award is presented to someone who prevents a specific incident of patient harm or is responsible for a system change that lowers the risk for patient harm. Great Catches can be clinical or non-clinical.
