Summary
How effective are your RNs’ delegation and supervision practices at the bedside? Is it possible that some basic care is being missed due to ineffective systems to support teamwork? How do your nurse sensitive indicators reflect the ability of RNs to communicate patient needs and offer feedback to assistive personnel? What does your organization’s pressure ulcer, VTE, and fall prevalence tell you about the ability of your teams to plan rounding, turning and positioning, ambulation, hydration, toileting, and nutrition? Attend this webinar and discover how to transform the current realities of bedside care into a clear mental model for successful RN leadership.
Following this webinar participants will be able to:
- Analyze current evidence related to missed or omitted care, delegation, and supervision.
- Rate your department’s skill level in delegation, supervision, and teamwork leadership.
- Trace the impact of poor teamwork to HACs (Hospital Acquired Conditions).
- Plan next steps to structure a mental model and plan for successful RN team leadership.
