With significant increases in surgical volume experienced at BWH, the hospital has reorganized its surgical nursing function to focus on quality patient care and service and to ensure management accountability in major service areas.
Peggy Doyle, RN, will be taking a lead in assessing the perioperative nursing structure and implementing plans to improve service and quality, while focusing on recruitment, training and staff development. Her new title will be Perioperative Nursing Director. The hospital will also begin recruitment of a Surgical Nursing Director, with Terry Kahlert, RN, assuming interim surgical management responsibilities.
