Valley Presbyterian Hospital
Nursing Orientation System
The most complex project I developed at the hospital was a PHP/PostgreSQL system for tracking skill competencies for the nursing staff, to replace the paper system that was in use at the time. For each nursing position in each department there’s a list of skills, or "Orientation Tool", that the employee must demonstrate they’re capable of performing. As new employees show they can perform their duties, the appropriate skills on each Orientation Tool are digitally signed by a preceptor.
Patient Education Handout System
One of the major uses of the hospital intranet is the organization of the many forms and documents used by the Nursing Staff. Documents are stored Adobe Acrobat PDF format and cataloged for keyword searches by the ht://Dig search engine. Documents are also browseable by category.
