Methodist Pathology Center's Nancy Strong Honored With Good Catch Award

The Good Catch Award is designed to recognize staff members committed to patient safety.

This recognition is presented regularly and goes to the department in which the good catch occurred. Nominations for the award are taken from reports that indicate a near miss was caught. Those catches are then flagged for consideration for the award. A near miss is an incident or event that has occurred and had the potential to cause harm but was caught before it reached the patient. 

Good Catch Award Recipient

Nancy Strong
Blood Bank Technical Coordinator
Methodist Pathology Center-Schenken Pavilion

Nancy Strong recently was removing a unit of packed red blood cells from refrigerated storage to crossmatch to a patient. Due to her years of experience and knowledge, Nancy detected an issue and returned the product to the supplier.

Congratulations, Nancy. Thank you for your commitment to keeping our patients and staff safe!
