Second place was awarded to the Operating Room for a project on changing cleaning agents for hysterectomy patients prior to surgery to reduce surgical site infections. Third place was awarded to the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit for a project on reducing post-operative nausea and vomiting for patients having gallbladder removal. In addition, a people’s choice award was voted on by all who attended the symposium and was awarded to the Cancer Center for a project on decreasing fatigue in cancer patients.
