Doreen Singh RN, MSN has been promoted to medical-surgical director. Doreen will assume responsibility for 4 East, 5 East, 6 East and 6 West. Tiffany Bell will continue to manage 4 West, 5 West, Brazos 5 and Brazos 6.
Doreen has been with HMSL since 2002 and functioned in numerous roles such as ICU nurse, house supervisor, FSA administrator and nine years as nurse manager of 5 East. Doreen’s innovative spirit led her to establish the Standards of Practice (SOP), particularly “top of the hour” patient rounding which was rolled out to all patient care units at HMSL and all other Houston Methodist entities due to its effectiveness in improving patient satisfaction. Doreen also collaborated with Shayla White to initiate the daily 9 a.m. Real Time Demand Capacity (RTDC) meetings to improve patient flow. She is currently collaborating with all ancillary departments to implement the No Pass Zone concept for promotion of patient safety. Her efforts to support evidence-based practice in fall reduction and sustainable patient experience have resulted in poster presentations at local and national conferences.
Congratulations, Doreen!
