Krista Blakely - 2024 QCH Excellence Award for Collaboration

The QCH Excellence Award for Collaboration is given out to a person who consistently demonstrates an effective collaboration with others to produce positive results. This may be shown by seeking out different viewpoints, establishing partnerships across the hospital, building consensus, cooperative problem-solving and sharing information to contribute to help make other teams successful.  

Krista is a clinical scholar and recipient of the 2024 QCH Excellence Award for Collaboration. She was a huge help to the nurses on the units she supports – but also was quick to help on other units when they needed support. There were times where she herself had not completed a skill, but was always there to support the staff, printing the policy or finding the skill in Elsevier and reviewing. She would find a way that they could solve the problem and complete the skill together. She truly is an amazing nurse and team player.
