We are seeking a Patient Safety Attendant (PSA) for our Behavioral Health Unit.
As a PSA with Saint Alphonsus Health System, you will support a safe environment for patients by providing continuous observation and surveillance. You will be expected to provide a first line of action by verbally redirecting the patient, from engaging in at-risk behaviors and notify the professional staff of the patient's needs and/or alert them in the case of an emergency. Documentation will be completed on the observation flow sheet every 15-30 minutes and PSAs participate in the handoff of pertinent information. Our PSAs also assist licensed nursing staff with cares and seek assistance or advice when a patient appears to pose a threat to themselves or others.
Our ideal candidate is very observant, and has the knowledge and skills to care for patients of all ages while communicating effectively with members of the nursing team. He or she will maintain visual observation at all times, and verbally redirect the patient in person or over a 2-way audio device in the patient's room.
