Hospital Program Helps Alzheimer’s Patients
Description
CHI Health St. Francis in Grand Island, Nebraska, has launched the groundbreaking REMEMBER program — the first of its kind in the entire CHI Health system — to make hospital stays safer and less confusing for patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Designed with input from staff, families, and patients, the program uses a simple yet powerful color-coded system: green bracelets, blue gowns, and “forget me not” door markers alert everyone to provide compassionate, personalized care. Staff receive free monthly training to improve communication and dementia awareness, and early feedback is overwhelmingly positive. The initiative is already drawing national attention, with plans to present it at a major nursing conference and publish findings in a healthcare innovation journal.
