Newsletter Opening of the New Emergency Centre at Karl Bremer Hospital Newsletter Issue No.12 April 2014 OpEning Of tHE nEw EmErgEnCy CEntrE at Karl BrEmEr HOspital Months of building have rolled by, and the the building. A final snag now needs to be completed. finishing touches have been put on the new EC Thereafter walks through can be organised. Do you have a question regarding how things will work or what your building. Very soon we will commission this role will be? Please ask either Dr. Sue le Roux on ext 1907 state-of-the-art facility and we will expand or Sr. Ida Carolus on ext 1476. We would be happy to the service that we offer to our community. provide an answer. Not long now…. And the Karl Bremer Up to now, Karl Bremer Hospital has provided Emergency Center becomes a reality. Yet another reason, a medical emergency service but we expect for us to be proud of the service our hospital offers to the community. this to change with the addition of limited trauma cases. What exactly does this mean for us? The direct referral system for serious trauma remains unchanged, although we will occasionally be required to stabilise a seriously injured patient prior to transfer on to Tygerberg Hospital. The vast majority of the trauma that will be treated at Karl Bremer will be problems such as broken limbs, sprains & strains, lacerations and minor head injuries. The management of trauma can be challenging at times because injuries are not always isolated and patients who sustain trauma, often have other underlying diseases. The management of trauma is very logical and the approach is systematic. With the right equipment in the room and the right staff in the EC, managing trauma does not have to be a terribly daunting task. As with most areas of medicine, the management of emergencies of any kind is best done when working as a team. One helps the other and we all bring our individual areas of expertise together for the benefit of the patient and for the growth of every team member. Already, one of the standout features of the staff in Medical Emergency is a vibrant team spirit! And so there is now great excitement building… All the doctors appointed to the EC have started work and they are busy learning the ropes down in MES. The EC doctors will each spend 2 weeks at Khayelitsha District and Mitchell’s Plain District hospitals, to improve their trauma management skills. Sr. Carolus continues to introduce emergency medicine concepts to the MES, where up till now, no trauma has been accepted. The procurement department is going to great lengths to ensure the best equipment for the EC and the senior management team is maintaining oversight of the process. Practical completion of the building happened on 23 March 2014 with Karl Bremer Hospital accepting the keys to By Dr Sue Le Roux www.westerncape.gov.zaNewsletter April 2014 1 tHE HOw’s AND wHy’s Of: WHaT If you have missed out on the on boarding opportunities with regards to this challenge, herewith (in a nutshell) what it is about: C2air2 is the abbreviation for the Department of Health’s Core values, namely: C2 a i r2 Caring COmpEtEnCE aCCOUntaBility intEgrity rEspOnsiVEnEss rEspECt We went through a process to select a club name and we are now proudly known as CLUB BREMER. The ultimate goal, which we are striving towards by means of living these core values, consistently, on a daily basis, is to promote a positive patient experience at and through our facility. To promote the entrenchment of these core values into our daily way of doing things,it was decided to implement this in the form of an inter-facility yearlong challenge. We are competing against 6 other hospitals. rEfEr tO OUr prOgrEss tHUs far (in figUrE 1) There is a R60 000 cash prize up for grabs for the winning hospital. Karl Bremer (aka CLUB BREMER) therefore needs to keep the momentum we have gained thus far and focus on continual improvement. At the moment we are only 5 points behind Khayelitsha Hospital and we are ahead of the pack as far as Team spirit is concerned. It will take each and every one of you to maintain our position and to kick Khayelitsha off the leader board. Over the next few months “ghost patients” will be moving about in our facility to see if what we have been reporting, is in fact occurring and maintained on a daily basis. So please be alert and ALWAYS on your best behaviour. 2 Newsletter April 2014 HoW you may ask how points are allocated. as you can see in figure 1, there are 15 measurable metrics which management has to report to Head office on a monthly basis. there are points allocated according to certain criteria based on the metrics indicated.

Newsletter April 2014 3 EDitOrial nOtE By Sr C Pekeur EDitOr`s nOtEs Welcome to the first edition of the KBH TIMES FoR 2014, the year of the horse, for the Chinese, characterised by strengths such as warm- heartedness energy and brightness.Here at KBH it is however the year for new beginnings. An anonymous author once wrote that although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new end. With the construction and opening of the Trauma Centre and the C2AIR2 Challenge well on the way, add to that the nursing staff dressed in an all-white uniform ,who can ignore the involuntary feeling of excitement, pride and the hint of anticipation in the air? According to research, the early Christian church adopted the Roman symbolism of white as the colour of purity, sacrifice and virtue. White is also symbolic of healing, hope and new beginnings. The proposal of an all-white uniform for the nursing team provoked a lot of diverse comments, interest and views. Some feel it is impractical,while others say it displays a unified professional look. amid all these mixed emotions and reactions, the nursing staff of KBH, proudly stepped out in style and shone bright in white.

  • Quick Guide to Management at the High Risk Clinic
    A quick guide to management of clients at the High Risk Obstetrics Clinic at Tygerberg Hospital. • The high risk clinic is the only specialist referral clinic for pregnant clients from the Metro East health district of Cape Town. Within this drainage, there are several Basic Antenatal Care clinics [BANC] (they only do first bookings, and follow up of low-risk pregnant women); 8 Midwife Obstetric Units [MOUs] (they conduct deliveries of low-risk women as well as antenatal and postnatal care for low risk women), one small district hospital (Helderberg [HH]) and two larger district hospitals (Khayelitsha [KDH] and Karl Bremer [KBH]) that have 24 hour caesarean section [CS] capabilities. • The maternity service is regionalised, meaning that low risk women are managed at clinic level, intermediate (Level 1) risk woman are managed at medical officer level (district hospitals) and high risk (level 2) woman (specialist referrals) are managed at Tygerberg high risk clinic. Women needing subspecialist (tertiary)/Level 3 care are managed at special clinics (fetal medicine, special care, diabetic clinic or cardiac clinic). • Care is sometimes shared between levels, with only key visits at the high risk clinic (this is explained in each protocol). The different levels of care is explained in appendix A. Write the level of care for Antenatal care and Delivery on the front page of the Maternity Case Record (note that this can change during the antenatal period): ▪ All level 1 patients must be referred to their nearest clinic for follow up visits. High risk (level 2) and Special care (level 3 patients) are followed up at Tygerberg Hospital.

  • History Department of Pathology
    HISTORY DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY ANATOMICAL PATHOLOGY The Department of Anatomical Pathology was established in the Karl Bremer Hospital with the appointment of professor HW Weber as professor and head of the Division of Pathology in 1958. Professor Weber was recruited from Frankfurt, Germany and he was one of the founder professors of the Faculty. The department was one of the first departments to move from Karl Bremer Hospital to Tygerberg Hospital in 1967. Professor van der Walt succeeded professor Weber in 1985 as head of the Department. Professor DJ Rossouw (1985 – 1994), joined the department as professor in Anatomical Pathology. They extended the research platform and continued to publish extensively in the areas of cardiovascular pathology, malignant mesothelioma, carcinoma of the lung and sarcoidosis. Following professor van der Walt's retirement in 1993, professor DJ Rossouw succeeded as head of the department. He and dr PAB Wranz actively promoted the concept of morphological sciences that lead in 1993 to the successful incorporation of Cytopathology from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology with the Department of Anatomical Pathology. Following the unexpected death of professor Rossouw in November 1994, professor van Velden served as head of the department until the end of 1995. Prof Wranz succeeded him in 1996 and continued to strengthen cytopathology and to establish closer collaboration with the College of Medicine and the University of Cape Town. He facilitated the award of ad hominem professorships to drr GS Rutherfoord and R Hewlett from the Neuropathology Unit for their valuable and globally acknowledged contributions to neuropathology and he facilitated the establishment of a Unit for Neuroscience.

  • An Exploratory Study on Telephone Interpreting in the Western Cape Healthcare Sector
    An exploratory study on telephone interpreting in the Western Cape healthcare sector Eloise Brink Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Harold M. Lesch December 2014 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za PREAMBLE DECLARATION This thesis is submitted electronically and I declare that the entirety of the research and the reporting thereof is my own, original work. I also declare that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless explicitly stated otherwise) and that I have not previously submitted this thesis in its entirety or in part for obtaining any qualification. April 2014 Copyright 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za PREAMBLE ABSTRACT Communication in a global context is seriously hampered by language barriers. These barriers pose special challenges to service delivery, particularly in the healthcare sector. Onsite interpreting is considered most conducive to enable effective communication. In South Africa, however, it is not practical and financially viable to employ onsite interpreters for all the possible language combinations.
