 The nursing team within any unit, department or agency could readily be compared to an orchestra. Here we’ll find the nurse manager/conductor, several lead players, many supporting players and those who remain even deeper in the background. In an orchestra, the smallest instrument can have an outsized purpose, and the instruments that only play occasionally are still crucial to a successfully executed performance.

An existing rudimentary communication system at the hospital was not optimal, and nurses were experiencing alert fatigue from too many alarms that were not critical to patient care.

They were in a hangar at Billings Logan International Airport, not on a med flight, and the infant was a high-fidelity mannequin, not a human. But the success the pair achieved could translate into an actual life saved later on, said Dr. Jeffrey Cooper, a neonatologist at Billings Clinic.

3-D printing is an emerging technology that is impacting the way cardiologists treat patients with congenital heart disease. In cardiovascular 3-D printing, the 3-D model is a replica of a patient’s anatomy. These models may be used for precise presurgical planning and simulation. This may potentially reduce time spent in the operating room and result in fewer complications.
