The ACH Nursing Division provides individualized family-centered services to
infants, children, adolescents and special adult populations with a wide variety
of health care needs. These nursing services include direct care, education
of patients and families or other caretakers, creating a nurturing and supportive
environment, coordinating discharge planning and collaboration and coordination
with the Medical Staff and other disciplines to provide high-quality, cost-effective
care. Each patient care area is under 24 hour direction of a Nursing Manager
responsible to the Senior Vice President, Patient Care Services, through the
Vice Presidents of Patient Care Services. Shift coordinators ("charge nurses")
or clinic team leaders are responsible for the delivery of quality patient care
on their assigned unit and shift. A nursing supervisor is also available to
help with overall problem-solving on evening, night and weekend shifts. Patient
care is delivered by a staff of registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical
nurses (LPNs). Select functions of patient care and/or supporting unit functions
may also be delegated to assistive personnel.
