HaysMed Offers Pediatric Spine Clinic

By Gayla Wichman - HaysMed News,Orthopedic Institute News,Pediatrics

HAYS, Kansas (June 18, 2018)—  Beginning in July, HaysMed, part of the University of Kansas Health System will offer a quarterly pediatric spine clinic.  The first clinic will be held Tuesday, July 31 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm at the Orthopedic Clinic 2500 Canterbury, Hays Kansas.

The clinic will focus on congenital orthopedic problems in pediatrics such as scoliosis, club feet, hip disorders (dysplasia), flat feet, toe walking, in toeing bowlegs (knock knees) and other spinal deformities often seen in children.

Rebecca Green, PA-C, under the supervision of Dr. Max DeCarvalho, Orthopedic Surgeon, will be evaluating and treating the patients at the clinic.

“It is exciting to offer this specialized clinic for our patients in western Kansas,” said DeCarvalho.  “We are always looking for opportunities to provide our patients more services closer to home.”

Congenital spine deformities are disorders of the spine that develop in a child before birth.  Vertebrae don’t form properly very early in fetal development, causing structural problems in the spine and spinal cord.  The problems can range from mild to severe and may cause other problems if left untreated.

You can schedule an appointment by calling 866-428-8221 or 785-261-7599.  No physician referral is required unless it is required by your insurance company.

HaysMed Honors Nurses Completing the RN Residency Program

By Gayla Wichman - HaysMed News,Nursing News

HAYS, Kansas (June 8, 2018)—  Seven registered nurses at HaysMed were honored recently at a recognition ceremony and luncheon.  They completed the yearlong RN Residency Program offered at HaysMed, part of The University of Kansas Health System.

The program began a year ago in July 2017 and the nurses spent the first 3 weeks in a classroom setting.  The remainder of training focuses on clinical experience, one on one mentorship with their preceptor, high-fidelity simulations and on the job training. Additionally, nurses receive training from professionals in several departments, such as radiology, pharmacy, cardiac care, periop and others.

The RN Residency class included Danelle Glines, RN, Tabitha Greathouse, RN, Andrew Heimann, RN, Tara Hoekman, RN,  Katie Rabe, RN, Shelby Rohr, RN and Amanda Rudman, RN.

The RN Residency Program at HaysMed is one of only two in the state and has been offered since 2008.  Shari Hertel, RN heads the program and has oversight of all the training.   HaysMed also works closely with critical access hospitals in the region through a rural residency program to provide training to nurses practicing in the rural setting.

“The ever-changing health care landscape presents challenges and opportunities to new nursing graduates.”  Said Hertel.  “Our evidenced based residency program goes beyond basic orientation and provides a clinical preceptorship focused not just on delivering competent care, but also in how to develop and grow in the nursing profession.  The positive clinical outcomes benefit not only the participating nurses, but also our patients.”

Currently there are 10 nurses scheduled in the next program which begins in July and six nurses enrolled in the Rural Residency program.  The program is open to newly graduated RNs.
