All Three Nicklaus Children's Intensive Care Units Recognized with Gold Beacon Awards
|
All three specialized intensive care units at
Nicklaus Children's Hospital, including the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), have achieved a gold-level
Beacon Award for Excellence in patient care from the
American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN). Gold is the highest level of Beacon Award recognition.
Nicklaus Children's is one of only two freestanding pediatric hospitals in the nation to have achieved the status of having three ICUs awarded gold-level Beacon Awards. The Beacon Award for Excellence recognizes unit caregiver teams that successfully improve patient outcomes and align practices with AACN's six Healthy Work Environment Standards. Units that achieve this three-year, three-level award with gold, silver or bronze designations meet national criteria consistent with
Magnet Recognition, the
Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and the
National Quality Healthcare Award.
"We are honored to be recognized once again by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses for the quality of care in our three intensive care units," said
Jackie Gonzalez, Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, part of
Miami Children's Health System.
