Julie Marhalik-Helms, BSN, RN. Senior Director of Quality Improvement of North American Partners in Anesthesia (Melville, N.Y.).
Ms. Marhalik-Helms is a registered nurse with 18 years of hospital experience. She visits NAPA’s client locations with regularity to train and educate clinicians and clinical leaders on patient safety and quality of care. Her article entitled “Providing Anesthesia Services Outside of the Hospital: How Compliant Are You?” was featured in the August 2015 issue of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. In 2015, Ms. Marhalik-Helms worked alongside system engineers to develop a proprietary reporting application for patient safety called NAPA Quality Improvement Patient Safety Tracking. NQIPS allows providers to notify NAPA’s quality departments about patient events. The application also conducts data analysis to identify potential risks and generate alerts to help clinicians improve patient safety.
