He heard that everyone collaborates to provide the best possible care to patients, and that\u2019s what drew him to Deaconess.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbar\u2019s experience has shown that to be true.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Working together to care for patients<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Deaconess emergency department has 24 patient beds. At busy times, such as the week between Christmas and New Year\u2019s, it can fill up completely. Gibbar recalls seeing the teams collaborate to address this challenge last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe staff in the ER are incredible,\u201d he says. \u201cThe nurses, ER techs, mental health associates and providers all pulled together. They worked so hard through stress and fatigue to care for every patient, even though they wound up having to treat people in the hallways and even the waiting room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The collaborative spirit extends across departments at Deaconess and even to external partners. To manage the number of patients they\u2019re treating, Gibbar\u2019s team coordinates with the Deaconess transfer center and emergency medical services to spread patient load across local emergency departments.<\/p>\n<p>He works closely with other departments in the hospital and \u2014 since Deaconess does not offer inpatient behavioral health services \u2014 his team coordinates with the Deaconess social work team and facilities in the community that are equipped to care for patients suffering from behavioral health conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is always to get each patient the care they need, whether that\u2019s receiving care and going home, being admitted to the hospital or being admitted to a facility in the community equipped to care for them.<\/p>\n<p>Accomplishing this goal often requires balancing competing priorities between the different patient care areas. But Gibbar finds them consistently fruitful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these conversations are productive,\u201d he says. \u201cIf you go into a situation of competing priorities being willing to compromise, you can usually come up with a plan that works for everyone. One thing I really appreciate about MultiCare is that every person, staff or leader, wants to find a solution and work together to solve it. Usually the other person will even give you the advantage if it means a patient will be cared for more appropriately.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A team that feels like family<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s hard for Gibbar to stop talking about his team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are committed to taking care of our community to the best of their abilities and are consistently working through any barriers that might keep them from meeting that goal,\u201d he says. \u201cThere is little to no drama. There is no one who is not pulling their weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apart from providing excellent care to patients, their hard work and camaraderie are also drawing others into the fold.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbar says, \u201cOur team works every day to demonstrate our values of kindness, collaboration and respect to not only our patients, but to each other, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In reflecting on his time at MultiCare, he identifies what sets it apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[When I started] I wish I knew how collaborative and supportive this hospital was, and how driven they were to provide the safest and most effective care to the patients that come through their doors,\u201d Gibbar says. \u201cHad I known that, I would have applied here years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Gibbar says his role as a nurse manager at MultiCare Health System is the best job he\u2019s ever had \u2014 and it\u2019s because of the people he works with.
