Paige Arndt, RN, BSN, CPPS, CPHQ
Patient Safety & Quality Improvement Specialist – St. Louis Children’s Hospital
As a patient safety & quality Improvement specialist, I have helped lead many multidisciplinary quality improvement projects since 2018. In 2019 I received my CPPS certification. This past year, I was tasked to enhance a safety coach program and trial it in our NICU. From there, it has successfully been taught to 50 staff members from seven different disciplines in just five months. We aim to train over 100 safety coaches in 14 disciplines this year. I was also the first of our safety specialists to receive the CPHQ certification last year and will be offering study sessions to the Q&S team members who would like to obtain their certification as well.
