“During her 28-year career in
health management and academic
consulting, Ms. Bachman has
garnered extensive experience in
developing and providing high level

range of topics related to academic

Jefferson’s New AED Program Helps Protect Against
Medical Emergencies
Now, Jefferson’s employees,
students, patients and visitors will
be even better protected than before
if they experience a medical emergency on campus.
Since March, security officers have
been responding to medical emergencies on campus with new automatic
external defibrillators (AEDs).
Jefferson is the first Philadelphia
healthcare institution to have AEDs
spread across an entire campus. The
hospital has purchased 17 defibrillators to provide adequate coverage
for campus buildings. These AEDs
are installed at the major manned
security posts in the hospital and
university buildings.
Bob Hendrick, Director of Security,
says, “Jefferson Security Officers
are first responders for many hospital
and university concerns. Being
better equipped to immediately
deal with a person in cardiac arrest
will enhance our effectiveness as a
campus protection force.”

system. Security officers responding
to a request for assistance via the
811 system will apply the AED if
the patient is in cardiac arrest and
will administer CPR and use the
AED until a JeffSTAT ambulance
arrives.
“This AED program will be of great
benefit to the Jefferson community.
Statistics have demonstrated that
the sudden cardiac arrest survival
rate diminishes by 10 percent for
every minute that passes without
defibrillation. The rapid response
from our security
officers will help us
improve patient outcomes,” says Edward
Jasper, MD, Medical
Director of the AED
program and JeffSTAT,
Jefferson’s air and
ground transport
program.
All security officers are trained in
CPR and in AED use. The response
system, equipment and security
officers will be tested regularly via
quarterly drills to ensure preparedness. The AED program will be

Jefferson Employees’ Generosity Brings ‘Gift of
Hope’ Daffodils to Patients
Thanks to the generosity of Jefferson
employees, up to 100 oncology
patients received a surprise dose of
spring cheer as 100 vases of daffodils
from the American Cancer Society
(ACS) were delivered to patient floors.
For the first time this year, employees were given the option to donate
$20 to anonymously give a vase of
Robert Neroni Photography
daffodils to a patient as part of the
Ms. Wyszynski and Ms. Reynolds-Walker
annual ACS Daffodil Days program.
“In unselfish manner, employees purchased this Gift of Hope for cancer
patients in our hospital,” says Dorothy Wyszynski, Assistant to the
Administrator of the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson,
Anne Delegowski, RN, MSN, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Gibbon 3 West,
told KYW NewsRadio the response went beyond expectations:
“We were overwhelmed. Actually we were really overwhelmed, because
we didn’t expect as many as we got.”

Her many talents and accomplishments were well recognized. Her
students continually praised her for the career direction she gave.
She received the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching

Author Addresses Medical Mistakes Issues
Rosemary Gibson, co-author of “Wall
of Silence: The Untold Story of the
Medical Mistakes That Kill and
Injure Millions of Americans,” spoke
to Jefferson Medical College (JMC)
faculty and senior administrators on
how disclosure, explanations and
apologies, or their absence, can
influence patients after an adverse
event occurs.
Ms. Gibson, Senior Program
Officer, Health Care Group, of The
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation,
and her co-author interviewed more
than 75 individuals regarding the
medical injuries the individual or a
family member incurred. One of those
interviewed was a TJUH patient who
experienced an anesthesia reaction
following surgery. Ms. Gibson uses
this TJUH patient as an example
of the positive effect of disclosure.
Ms. Gibson came to Jefferson
through the collaborative efforts of
the TJUH Legal/Risk Management
Department, the Jefferson University
Physicians Risk Management Department, JMC faculty and the Office of
Continuing Medical Education.
