Much recognition has beengiven to the healthcare heroes (RNs, LPNs, andphysicians) taking care of these patients. This articlewill acknowledge other healthcare workers who havenot been getting the same amount of media praise.These individuals provide daily support for the directcaregivers to do their job.Titles for individuals in these roles vary frominstitution to institution, and the list below is not acomprehensive list, but we want to acknowledgethese wonderful support personnel. We alsorecognize that each of these groups does a lot morethan the tasks that are referenced. If it wasn’t forthese folks behind the scenes, the direct caregiverswould not be able to do what they need to do to carefor patients.Direct Support Staff (listed in alphabetical order)Behavioral Health Technicians – theseindividuals provide direct care to behavioral healthpatients, freeing up the nurses for other tasks.Central Processing/Distribution staff – theseindividuals ensure that the patient care providershave the clean or sterile equipment they need to takecare of patients.Chaplains – patients and families dealing withCOVID-19 are often not allowed to have contactwith each other and have tremendous emotionaland spiritual needs. Chaplains help those patients,as well as patients throughout the facility, deal withsome of these issues. They also provide support tostaff and families of patients.Diagnostic testing areas – this includes manydifferent testing areas, such as radiology, pulmonaryfunction, stress lab, vascular, EKG, EEG etc. Patientscontinue to need a variety of tests to determinehealth function and the individuals in the testingareas are providing information for the physiciansand nurses to take care of their patients.Dietary workers – these individuals are providingmuch needed dietary support to both patients andstaff. They may be preparing food, delivering trays,or picking up trays.Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel– these individuals transport patients to a healthcarecurrent resident orfacility, often not knowing whether they haveCOVID-19 or not. Frequently the patients needemergency medical services which these individualsprovide on route to the hospital.Emergency Room Technicians/paramedics –these individuals help with tasks and care for patientscoming into the emergency room.Housekeeping staff – with the focus on cleaningand disinfecting, these individuals help provide aclean, safe environment for both patients and staff.Laboratory staff – In addition to the testingrequired to identify COVID-19 patients, they drawblood for lab tests to monitor patients’ condition andresponse to treatment.Maintenance/construction staff – when thereare problems with equipment or rooms, maintenancepersonnel are there to fix them. Construction workershave been called upon to create or reconfigure areasfor personnel to safely take care of patients.Music/art therapists – these individuals providespecialized therapeutic activities for patients topromote better health.Nursing assistants – depending on the settingthese helpers may not be working directly withCOVID patients, but they are providing for the dailycare needs of patients in our hospitals and otherhealth care facilities, such as long-term care andhome care, so that other health care providers canprovide care to COVID patients.Patient safety assistants/sitters – theseindividuals stay with patients to ensure their safety,so that nurses and other health care providers canprovide care to those patients and others.Pharmacists/pharmacy techs – almost all patientshave ordered medications, and the pharmacists andpharmacy techs work to ensure that everyone hasthe ordered medications available for the nurses toadminister.Physical/Occupational/Speech therapists/therapyassistants – many patients have a need for physical,occupational, or speech therapy services, and theseproviders are there daily meeting patient needs forrehabilitative services.Radiology technicians – these individuals areproviding not only diagnostic services, but treatmentfor individuals having heart problems or strokes.Many COVID-19 patients experience complicationsduring their course of treatment and have to haveemergent treatment.Non-Profit Org.U.S. Postage PaidPrinceton, MNPermit No. 14Registration personnel – these staff aretypically the first point of contact for patients andfamilies seeking care.

July 2020Ohio NursePage 3ASK NURSE JESSEDear Nurse Jesse, I feel conflicted as a nurse because Dr. Acton hasdone a wonderful job protecting Ohioans, but I also understand others’concerns about the Director of ODH having too much power. Is there trulya lack of checks and balances?This is a great question and this topic is one that has drawn quite a bit ofcontroversy on ONA’s Facebook page over the last several weeks. From thebeginning, ONA has applauded the proactive steps Governor DeWine and Dr.It Takes a Village continued from page 1 Library ServicesMedical EducationNational GuardMedical RecordsParking ServicesResearchUtilization Review and Quality ImprovementValet ServicesThere are many individuals and groups outside the health care team whohelped during this pandemic. Many companies have reconfigured their operationsto help with the supply of needed equipment, individuals have volunteered theirtime to help others, grocery stores have donated food and supplies to medicalworkers, truck drivers have been transporting equipment and supplies to keepshelves full, and entertainers have donated their time and talent to providediversions for everyone who has had to stay at home. Parents are learning howto teach their children, individuals are finding creative ways to celebrate specialoccasions, and everyone has had to learn to adapt to a new “normal.”It does take a village. To everyone who has helped during this health carepandemic, we say:Thank you!Gallup Indian Medical CenterNow, more than ever, we appreciate and value yourcompassionate and loyal care to our community.Thank you!We are hiring Registered Nurses!79 Bed, Baby Friendly, Trauma III designated hospitalbordering the Navajo Nation in Gallup, NM.Med/Surg, OB/L&D, ICU, Ambulatory Care, ER, Peds, Periop& other specialty positions available.We offer:Competitive SalariesRelocationRecruitment/Retention IncentivesLoan RepaymentContact:Myra Francisco, RN – Nurse Recruiter505.726.8549 myra.francisco@ihs.govhttp://bit.ly/gsu-rnI.H.S. is required by law to give absolute preference to qualified Indian applicants. Equal Opportunity Employer.Amy Acton have taken to fight the war against COVID-19 in the state of Ohio.The recent pandemic has placed additional pressure on the current healthcaresystem, causing nurse staffing issues and lack of equipment. ONA is confidentthat Ohio would not have had enough nurses and other healthcare professionalsavailable to care for Ohioans if the administration and the extension of theexecutive branch, including Dr. Acton, had not intervened early. DeWine,Lieutenant Governor Husted, and Director Acton have been true leaders notonly in Ohio, but across the nation. ONA acknowledges the economic impactCOVID-19 has had on businesses across the state, including Ohio hospitals andambulatory surgery centers. However, it is ONA’s position that an economy canonly recover if it has a strong, healthy workforce in place.Since its inception in 1886, the Department of Health has had the authorityto issue orders to curb the spread of infectious disease. Per the Ohio RevisedCode, the director must be a medical doctor or have substantial public healthexperience to fill this role.ONA has opposed recent legislation that would trade data-driven expertopinions and centuries-old authority for legislative control. This control wouldtransfer the decision-making authority to extend 14-day orders from the OhioDepartment of Health to 10 members of JCARR (Joint Committee on AgencyRule Review) - a committee of legislators currently tasked with reviewing agencyrules.Currently, the legislature has authority to override any executive orderswith a supermajority vote or to pass legislation to curb what some may say isan overreach of power. The current Ohio system already has a checks andbalances in place and the legislature can be called to convene at any time toreview orders and/or pass new legislation. The people of Ohio elect membersof the legislature as well as the Governor of this great state. One of the manyauthorities we the people give to the elected Governor is to appoint members ofhis or her Cabinet and to fill the state Director positions with whomever she or hedeems appropriate. If power is shifted from the Director of the Ohio Departmentof Health, to a small 10-member committee of the legislature, healthcaredecisions will not be made by healthcare experts (such as the Director of theDepartment of Health or by legislators serving on our Health Committees inthe House and Senate). Current members of JCARR have no medical or publichealth experience and it is imperative that public health needs can be swiftlyevaluated by experts to meet the needs of the 11.7 million Ohioans.Have a question for Nurse Jesse?Visit ohnurses.org/asknursejesse
Page 4Ohio NurseJuly 2020LEGISLATIVE UPDATETiffany Bukoffsky, MHA, BSN, RNONA Director of Health PolicyUnprecedented times call for unprecedented measures, including legislativework at Ohio’s Statehouse. The Ohio Nurses Association (ONA) has notonly continued to advocate for additional whistleblower protections and OhioDepartment of Health tracking of COVID-19 infected healthcare workersby facility with the Governor’s office, but scheduled phone calls with severallawmakers and nurses to discuss the lack of personal protective equipmentand other essential staffing issues occurring in Ohio hospitals. The legislaturehas been back in full swing since mid-May and there is no sign of a summerrecess in the foreseeable future.
