National Perfusionist Week
On Principles of Exceptionalism:
A 2012 Tribute -
National Perfusionist Appreciation Week
By Ralph E. Jordan, Founder & CEO
The second week of May marks National Perfusionist Appreciation Week, which prompted me to write about exceptionalism.
The term "exceptionalism" has strong roots in American culture - perhaps most notably in the context of the Reagan-Era. The term means, the condition of being different (better) from the norm.
When we think about the current state of our country, our culture, the business of healthcare, and the struggle of families and individuals getting by in the world, it's reasonable that in these challenging times there are so many reasons for pessimism. But it's also a time when we are eager to embrace excellence - a time we are drawn to things optimistic. It is easy to observe our surroundings and "call it out" with strong opinion... "what's working well or what's not". Among the philosophical debates toward global solutions, there are fledging sparks of hope everywhere in our society. And in the traditions throughout history, the striving for excellence and exceptionalism always seems to win out.
Many of you know from my earlier editorials that I espouse strong conviction in principles of freedom, strong leadership, and I have a disdain for mediocrity. My own experiences have taught me that in order to gain the best work from people is to believe in them, give them room to grow, and lead in a style that promotes self-governance. Within Trident's mission statement there are two points among many that our organization firmly upholds related to this:
1. We recognize our personnel as our most important asset.
2. We will work with all employees to assist them with their professional and personal growth.
The outcome of Trident's mission and philosophy has served us with tremendous positive effect. Specifically, in the work that Trident's perfusionists perform, they represent exceptionalism which is strongly exhibited in their work ethic, superior clinical expertise, and the feedback we receive from our clients that tell us the patient DOES come first - it's a tenet that's a common thread among all our people. Those aren't just "words" - they are "deeds".
We LISTEN to the front line to keep a pulse on our industry, to learn the latest movement in perfusion technology, to constantly improve our clinical data collection and analyze our performance. We empower our perfusionists to be their personal best - and in return, they reward Trident with it's good name in this community, and it's nearly quarter of a century in business.
We are inspired to publicly support our very fine team of perfusionists... and not just Trident perfusionists, but ALL perfusionists who serve selflessly each and every day.
We recognize National Perfusionist Appreciation Week. And WE APPRECIATE YOU! Thank you for all you do!

Excerpt from Trident's April Edition of The Heartbeat Newsletter!
In Search of Cost Savings:
Thoughts on Blood Management
By Ralph E. Jordan, Founder & CEO
From time to time I've written about the perfusion marketplace and the companies which compete withTrident Health Resources, Inc. There are many good companies out there which can place a perfusionist behind the pump when a hospital needs coverage. It's one of the services they may provide, perhaps among many different services offered. At Trident, however, we specialize singularly in perfusion and with that, our efforts in the operating room expand beyond "putting someone behind the pump". One of things I wanted to write about today is on the topic of blood management and its increasing importance in open heart surgery, especially for Trident.

2012: Looking Ahead.
The Future of Perfusion &
A Company's Legacy
The Future of Perfusion &
A Company's Legacy
By Ralph E. Jordan, Founder & CEO
When the calendar page turns and a New Year is here, most of us tend to be reflective on the past - from whence we came, where we are today - to exploring where we hope to be. How many of us have similar stories of purchasing a stationary bike or treadmill to kick off a new healthy new year of improved diet and exercise? In many cases, by March the equipment is moved to a room's corner where it ends up serving as a clothes hanger, despite the good intention. It is the nature of human behavior in all of us to seek immediate gratification and we tend to become impatient with the required hard work and length of time it takes to achieve goals.
