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
 Performance
 New

Pillar goals and leadership vision

evaluations

hire comments, interviews, and surveys. (careful survey design)

 Preceptor
 Charge

Nurse comments, interviews and surveys.

 Retention
 Patient
 Quality

comments, interviews, and surveys.
rates

satisfaction and HCAHPS survey information.

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
 Design online modules
preceptorship 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 practice time with high error, and infection procedures





Provide time with high risk, low volume 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)



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



Watch the quality data
