What's New


Our most recent working group calls took place October 16 and 28. The topic was critical test results, and we had some great discussions. Thanks to all of you who joined in, and a special thanks to our guest participant Gayla J. Jackson, RN, BSN, member of the AHAP advisory board and nurse manager at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, MA.
