Employee Wellness Checks

In the event that an employee does not arrive for a scheduled shift, or there is another concern requiring investigation, the following steps should be followed to manage a wellness check.

1. Unit charge nurse will notify the BCH Nursing Supervisor that an employee is a “no show” for a scheduled shift.
2. Unit charge nurse and/or BCH staffing coordinator will attempt to call and text the employee using numbers on file.
3. If the employee does not respond to these calls within three hours from the start of the shift (10:00/22:00), the BCH Nursing Supervisor should initiate a wellness check.

    

   1. The staffing coordinator will provide the employee’s phone number and address. Unit leadership should be asked for any pertinent details (ex, known medical conditions, recent absences, etc.)
   2. BCH Nursing Supervisor will contact BCH Security supervisor and provide the employee’s information.
   3. Security will contact the local police department per the employee’s address to conduct the wellness check.
   4. Results or needed follow up will be provided to the BCH Nursing Supervisor.
