Sleep Health and Wellness Program: Upcoming Sessions

The Sleep Matters Initiative’s Sleep Health and Wellness Program is a nationally recognized sleep education program that builds on 15 years of Brigham-led sleep research. This one-hour wellness program covers sleep health, the dangers of fatigue and strategies for improving sleep and ending exhaustion. Upcoming sessions include dates in February, March, April and May; all begin at noon, and lunch will be provided. Free for Brigham faculty, staff and trainees. For more information, including registration details, visit BWHPikeNotes.org or email sleepmatters@partners.org.

Code Help Desktop Alerts Begin Feb. 3

Starting Monday, Feb. 3, all Brigham and Women’s Hospital workstations will receive a pop-up desktop alert through the Partners Employee Alert System when Code Help is activated. Code Help, a Department of Public Health mandate, is activated when the Emergency Department (ED) has exceeded capacity and a large number of boarders are awaiting inpatient beds. This measure will help ensure that all employees with specific duties during Code Help are aware of the ED’s status and can act accordingly. Learn more at BWHPikeNotes.org.
