Board members meet staff, patients during rounding

Pictured here are Joy Bell, R.N., Shands at UF Mother/Baby Unit nurse manager, and Roland Daniels, a member of the Shands at UF Board of Directors, Board Quality Committee and UF’s Board of Trustees.

Each month, members of the Shands at UF Board Quality Committee conduct patient and staff rounds on hospital inpatient units, the Emergency Department and ancillary/outpatient settings. Rounding provides board members the chance to meet staff and patients and inquire specifically about our quality and safety efforts. They see for themselves how our teams are focused on improving patient care and they hear first-hand physician and employee ideas and perspectives.
