Beth Mikalauskas Named Director of the Outpatient Services
 Shriners Hospitals for Children, Chicago is proud to announce the new Director of the Outpatient Services, Beth Mikalauskas, RN, BSN, MSN. Mikalauskas joined Shriners in 2001 as Admissions Coordinator and became a clinical analyst in 2003 to prepare the hospital for the transition to Cerner-based electronic medical records. With a masters' in Nursing Administration/Community Health, Mikalauskas sees the integrated, team-based care at Shriners as the perfect environment for her vision. "I think it is exciting that kids with disabilities or chronic illness can survive and function well in the community, and a great outpatient clinic like Shriners makes that possible. Inpatient nursing deals with acute needs, but those needs may be magnified tenfold when the child is out in the world. At Shriners, because we do not take fees for service, we can do so much more to help our patients succeed. We have the expertise in-house to fulfill a care plan for every one of our patients. With a multi-disciplinary approach--psychosocial, social, nutritional, recreational, rehabilitation-- we do it all. Every patient's experience at Shriners begins in the outpatient department. We are at the center of the hospital and we see a child from start to finish. And our nurses are incredibly knowledgeable in the areas of the diagnoses we treat."
