Re-evaluating Unit Based-Orientation
Melissa Powell, MS, RN-BC
Needs Assessment: Where are we now and where do we want to be? Starting points:
Organizational Pillar goals and leadership vision Performance evaluations New hire comments, interviews, and surveys. (careful survey
design) Preceptor comments, interviews, and surveys. Charge Nurse comments, interviews and surveys. Retention rates Patient satisfaction and HCAHPS survey information. Quality metrics considered: incident report types, falls, pressure
ulcers, blood stream infections, IV team utilization, rapid response calls, blood culture contamination, lab specimen hemolyzation rates.
Examples of gaps uncovered in needs assessment Blood culture contamination rates elevated, hemolyzation rates
elevated Unit based safety initiatives: hand hygiene, falls, pressure ulcers,
rapid response initiatives Errors related to shift to shift hand off and communication New nurse under confidence with IV starting skills and port
access New nurse and preceptor complaints of new nurses lost not
knowing policy, not knowing Vanderbilt way, not getting basic info before clinical practice
Preceptors complained of ENORMOUS multipage checklist 8 Week new nurse orientation period generalized as inefficient
ROI.
Setting the goals, identifying the objectives What does unit based orientation look like now?
Goals, objectives, checklists
Aligned? Yes? MOVE TO Identify problems in teaching strategies, preceptorship and content delivery.
Setting the new objectives and how to measure. Using needs assessment data. Examples of objectives:
Nurses after orientation when surveyed will express satisfaction with orientation.
Nurses after orientation when surveyed will express confidence with knowledge level.
Quality metrics will make slow progress in positive direction.
Preceptors and charge nurses will express observed improvement.
Less errors
Gap analysis for resources allocation, time, equipment, staff, reorganized preceptorship Design online modules to deliver cognitive content effectively and attached MCQ
for assessment
Design case studies for new hires to think through, decision based MCQ for assessment
Preceptor training very important, preceptors must be trained to “train” Content delivery, Role play, Case studies, Standardized learner simulation training
Preceptors need clear expectations
Time in unit-based preceptorship can be reduced with lab and simulation time Provide time with high risk, low volume procedures
Provide practice time with high error, and infection procedures
Provide event based simulation training for high risk, low volume events
Allocate resources towards needed task trainers and simulation time, as well as preceptor leveraging (average preceptor can give up to 4 hours extra per week)
Designing teaching methods to match the learning objectives (examples)Current

Brief power points during HO, preceptor hit or miss content

Content delivery, case study, role play, simulation, preceptorship
MCQ, Check off, simulation and unit-based training, preceptorship
New nurse and preceptor complaints of new nurses lost not knowing policy, not knowing Vanderbilt way, not getting basic info before clinical practice
Shown where policies are, preceptorship
Cognitive and psychomotor
Content delivery, simulation/task trainer for key safety policies
MCQ, check off, simulation and unit-based training, preceptorship
Unit based leadership and budget negotiation
Meeting for data and gap analysis presentation
Meeting for resource evaluation Meeting for return on investment analysis
and estimate Meeting to present evaluation methods Meeting to collaborate and plan
Examples of redesign
Checklist redesign for key performance measures and competencies, converted to daily preceptor notes
Planned dedicated time for online learning module time for polices, procedures, key initiatives, case study and MCQ assessments 8 hours
Unit based classroom time - 2 hours (communication and key initiatives)
Unit based lab and sim time - 4 hours Checklist items for procedures started here with one to two additional unit based checkoffs with preceptor. (blood culture collection, central line dressing change, IV starts)
Intro Meeting, Check-ins and survey planned
Examples of ROI
Improved quality metrics
Improved satisfaction and confidence
Improved retention rates
Improved patient satisfaction
MEASURE, measure, measure
Charge nurse and preceptor survey
Survey about preceptor performance
Evaluate preceptor performance - Provide preceptors with feedback
Evaluate preceptor notes
Evaluate online modules
Evaluate class time
Evaluate lab and sim
