An initiative to help decrease stress and frustration in the workplace. An anonymous survey designed for small and easy fixes that can be resolved in a timely manner depending on the type of submission. We hope it adds to the quality of life in the ED!

How do I submit a response?

pebbles qr code

Through this form or the QR code (to right), you can submit a quick 3 question survey which will go to ED leadership.

Where are the physical QR codes?  

QR codes are located in the ED nursing station, staff bathrooms and break room.

We will report back regularly with any positive changes we can address or make from this.

What are some examples of appropriate “pebbles” to submit:

  • Overhead light in bed 3 is broken
  • Missing bladder scanner
  • Otoscope in bed 2 is broken
  • Cart not stocked in room 4
  • Lattice charger missing in team B

Thanks:

Emily McCormack, RN and Gail Lavin-Murphy, PA-C
