SPECIAL TUBERCULOSIS STUDY SCHEDULED – The U.S. Public Health Service and Denver TB Society will cooperate in a special Tuberculosis study to be offered to all employees of St. Joseph’s on June 4, 5, and 6. DAY and NIGHT shift employees will receive both the Tine test (administered by the Denver TB Society) and Mantoux test (administered by USPHS). The EVENING shift (2:30 – 11:30 PM), because of their duty hours, will receive only the Tine test. Each department will be given a scheduled time to report to the TV Room of the Nurses’ Home. In addition to these skin tests, chest X–Rays will be offered by a mobile unit to be parked outside the Emergency Entrance. All employees are most urgently invited to participate in this study, both for their own good health and to cooperate with these health agencies in conducting the study.
RED TOP NEWS
The latest innovation to be added to the Red Top Service at St. Joseph’s is a pamphlet describing the service performed and containing a questionnaire to be filled out by patients. When a Red Topper performs a checkout, he places a pamphlet on the bedside stand and picks up the questionnaire filled out by the previous patient. All questionnaires are returned to the Red Top office for tabulation, and any suggestions made are given careful consideration. Results of the questionnaires have been both interesting and gratifying. The Red Top Management only regrets that not all patients take the time to fill out the form and would appreciate nursing personnel calling the attention of new patients to the pamphlets.
Elsewhere in the Red Top organization, news is centered on the newest hospital to avail itself of Red Top Service. St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank, California. This makes the fourth “St. Joseph’s” in the Red Top family. The others are our own hospital, and those in Albuquerque and Houston.
