Today, the health methods that can be, should be used in the future, should be used in the future to prevent expensive updated modifications and ensure the integration of the smooth system.
But it is still possible sometimes to give participation in nurses and professionals in the field of health care, and sometimes appropriate transparency.
It is important for hospitals and health systems to listen to employee inputs, invite nurses to the table, and ensure transparency and education on new health.
The purchase process and the nurse are the ease of use as a key to strong implementation, and decision -making makers need to consider reactions and fears for nurses to help achieve the return on investment goals.
Sarah Glin, RN, Nurse Nurse Supervisor Innovation Design Unit in Nebraska, which covers Metropolitan Omaha and sponsorship throughout the region, provides access to more than 1400 doctors and about 70 health care centers.
There are more than 800 beds and 9,000 employees who support their reputation in penetrating care for cancer, organ implantation and treating infectious diseases.
Health care news Sit with Gloyne to discuss how IT leaders can work with nurses for a Implementation of the clinical systemThe role of education on implementing a new system, ways to make nurses comfortable with new technology, and the keys to success in the real -time location system (RTLS).
Q: Buying information technology users is crucial for any technical application. How should the leaders of that and even C-SUITE executives work with nurses to implement the clinical system?
A. Information technology leaders and CEUITE executives must give priority to early and meaningful participation with nursing staff to ensure the implementation of a successful clinical system. Purchase is very important, especially since new systems often represent an additional responsibility and a new employee badge in their daily routine.
To encourage adoption, driving must communicate the benefits of technology from the start in a proactive manner, especially its role in improving the daily tasks of employees. Show the commitment at the facility level through the leadership constantly wears the new technology badge-walking-technology testing during safety gatherings helps to normalize use, identify expectations, repeat importance and raise morale.
Programmed workforce connectivity features also enhance the daily important tasks and reduce integration in the clinical environment.
Strong and unified messages from both information technology and executive leadership are necessary. It is important to emphasize how to improve safety technology for everyone and/or benefit the patient’s efficiency and experience. If you are implementing website systems in actual time, as you did Nebraska Medicine, some systems integrate with the patient’s experience platforms to display employee names and roles on patient screens. Ease of information eliminates confusion about the provider of care and increased humanity within care.
By align communication and focusing on clear and concrete benefits such as capturing the implementable data and automatic workflow – turning off the calls automatically – health care leaders can convert skeptics into advocates. These practical improvements show how technology directly supports employee efficiency and patient care.
As a nursing supervisor, I realize that flexibility is necessary Providing new technologies to employeesEspecially given that hospitals are working around the clock. It is important that educational opportunities are comprehensive for all transformations, ensuring tonight employees and weekends obtaining the same training opportunities as their counterparts during the day.
Multiple sessions can be presented at a variety of times, and the use of various formats, such as personal workshops, virtual units and registered sessions, absorbing various tables.
Q: What is the role of education on the implementation of a new system, and who should be responsible? How does the education process work in Nebraska medicine?
A. Education is very important when we offer a new clinical system. Our employees want to know what is changing, and how it will help them and their patients already. In Nebraska’s medicine, we do not arm the system and go away. We combine nursing teachers, unit leaders and clinical information and our technology sellers to design practical and self -education.
We are balanced between the technical side and the real side, making sure that the nurses are heard from the people who were in the trenches. The nursing teachers bring credibility; When they say, “Yes, this will work on the ground,” our team listens.
One of the main strategy in Nebraska is the use of practical experimental learning. Before the full launch, our team worked alongside Centrak, our RTLS seller, and get a real experience with the badge system-push buttons, run through workflow, and even change and switch on the basis of comments in the simulation laboratory.
This practical and interactive time for everyone helped see the benefits and a feeling of empowerment to form it. The simulation room, equipped with new technologies, allowed employees to practice in a realistic environment and make notes that led to system modifications in the actual time. This method allowed employees to truly experience technology benefits and have a sound on the table for the necessary improvements.
The implementation team conducted a test for several months, including a full week for practical training and displaying multiple sessions to accommodate various employee attacks. This approach has strengthened learning beyond the traditional PowerPoint shows, creating a more immersive experience for employees to see how technology will work during their seizures.
One of the unique features during implementation was that the unit that adopts the system was new, which means that the employees did not provide patient care actively. This allowed the education team to schedule four -hour sessions, which presented not only emblem technology but also new systems and other care models at one time.
This level of coordinated training may be more challenging in existing units with different transformation schedules. To overcome this, focus again on flexibility. It offers sessions at different times and benefit from clinical teachers who understand both the nursing system.
The bottom line? Our education model and seller’s work were built on three columns: practical training, flexibility and the importance of the real world. This is how we made sure that technology felt smoothly, meaningful and immediately Useful for nursing staff.
Q: What are some ways to make nurses comfortable for new technology?
A. Making the nurses feel comfortable through new technology begins with direct communication – clear and advanced about what you are doing already and how to help both our patients and our team. In Nebraska Medicine, we focus on breaking mystery early.
We give the nurses a safe place to order anything, increase concerns and obtain real answers immediately. We always have clinical teachers and room sellers in the room. In this way, the questions are answered immediately – no confusion, no rumors.
This type of transparency helps ensure an accurate understanding and helps to clarify any misleading information on how to use data and what are the active features in its section, which helps to build true confidence in the system.
The gradual time is another critical strategy. Ensure that nurses and other health care professionals are given opportunities to clarify technology in both the simulation spaces and real patient care rooms. They get the buttons, test features and explore how their day is suitable.
These interactive sessions allow employees to explore the workflow, test features and a feeling of how to integrate technology into their routine. This participation gives the nurses a sense of ownership and agency, which helps them to communicate and feel comfortable with the system’s capabilities in their daily work-without the presence of the patient.
It also provides a forum for nurses to see the personal value such as how the system preserves their steps, reduces the manual input consuming time and simplifying the connection. Through these experiments, driving can help employees to see change as an improvement, not an obligation.
Confidence development is necessary to build comfort with new technology. In Nebraska’s medicine, driving was intended in preparation Expectations about the use of RTLS dataEspecially with regard to employee monitoring. By ensuring that protection in politics and clarification explicitly is that the system will not be used in a disciplinary manner, the organization enhances the culture of safety, support and open teamwork.
When nurses become more familiar with the system and see their benefits at work, comfort and confidence, it increases naturally. Nebraska’s health care professionals have become trustworthy in RTLS technology because it works and because the driving was an introduction, fast response and respectful during the implementation process.
Q: This is the RTLS application that you say is very smoothly. What are the keys to this successful implementation?
A. The success of the RTLS implementation can be attributed to a set of strategic preparation and multi -functional cooperation and the main focus on our frontal reactions.
One of the decisive factors was our support for “shoes on the ground” from both internal leaders and our technology seller, which carefully included themselves with our team a week before Go-Live. Early participation in the unit of the seller and the implementation team allowed directly to the clinical workflow, building a relationship with employees, and identifying and potential points of friction in the actual time.
This work was “on the ground” that by the time that was officially launched, the employees felt their support, and any technical and procedural uncertainty were addressed.
Play open, continuous and actual time between healthcare staff, leaders and technology seller has a pivotal role in maintaining momentum after we launch. The implementation team gave the priority to create a clear and easy -to -use method for employees to report problems, ask questions and obtain answers in time.
The nurses were granted space and encouraged to express concerns about anything that did not work, with an understanding that accurate and implemented comments in the first month were decisive to succeed in the long term. This process helped quickly formulate the system while building confidence between employees who saw their inputs being taken into account.
Given that technology has also collected data on compliance with hand hygiene, the team focused on ensuring that the data was accurate, especially because it can be linked to individual accountability. This transparency and response helped to increase confidence in the system instead of resistance.
In addition to the logistical services for implementation, one of the strongest contributors to the success of the system was its impact on the safety of employees. The RTLS emblem system includes buttons that employees can press in urgent situations, stimulating alerts that note others on unity and safety team.
These features were already used during safety events, as the nurses have informed that the ability to carry an emergency tool in the actual time of their person contributes greatly to their feeling of safety and peace of mind.
In the end, smooth implementation was not just a technical victory; It was a collective effort, rooted in mutual trust, response, and joint commitment to preparing our teams with tools that work with their reality, not against it.
