Healthwise Update Katie Kimmet Met with Marianne and developed a Power Point for the Healthwise Education Campaign, using clinical references through Healthwise in Epic, how to properly document education, and teach back. On January 8, 2014 took to Nursing Leadership Council as a proposal and how to roll-out: Attend Communication Ambassador meeting in January. Use Communication Ambassador as well as Nurse Managers to partner & go back to unit. Have Steering Committee take ownership and find the best education for their patient population. Offer one hour training sessions in March, Go to the Nursing Units and talking. Ambassadors are excited..discussion: We have found that utilization of Healthwise documentation is not consistent. We can start with the above, but will need to spread across the health system. Educating our patients is an opportunity and privilege. Core piece of our job. Education and documentation lays a foundation for upcoming shifts. D.O.H. comes at the end of the month, and we will need to know how to navigate, and get to all of the educational pieces. o Developmental work to be done in the next couple of weeks. o Top of mind, where it all lives. o.not intuitive Partner Chairs support the plan. NDNQI High Level Overview Claire Mooney Training has just begun for Managers, only one session to date, then a roll-out action planning piece with the staff.

6 Page 2 of 6 Survey has been completed, with a high return rate. Below 6 individual responses there will not be unit specific results. Variations depending on if your site is LGH, WBH, ABBCI, etc. NDNQI is our National database. Actionable items: Craft with the Leadership Team; Partners Council, how best to move forward. Pick out three or four actionable items to tackle, driving performance alignment. Create three of four actionable items; what we tackle should drive the performance, to fold in nicely with Magnet, Shared Governance. Follow-up to Rounding All Round the room perception of effectiveness of Rounding: When rounding at the Cancer Center Institute, they were eager and proud to show how things worked there. When rounding at WBH, they appreciated being visited, were very engaged, felt it was well received. When rounding at the Health Pavilion, they seemed excited and engaged. Felt it was a good experience, a lot to cover time wise, had opportunity to sit down in the waiting room and chat. Had opportunity to talk with a patient and bring information back to the Nurse. Good experience NICU was happy to say what was going on. Loves rounding. Talks about e-pulse, and verifying they get e-pulse. Rounding on the Behavioral Health Unit was very educating. Rounded NICU Couplet Care Positivity at individual units is very strong. Cardiac Rehab, Surgery Center, Pain Center felt discontent with Shared Governance. Didn t want to engage in clinical ladders. Didn t navigate through StarNet. Cardiac Rahab has great things toing-on. Surgery Center felt disconnected. How do we reach out and engage? First rounding was day two of go-live. The 1 st minute or so is a little awkward. Should a schedule go out before rounding? Coordination of scheduling is difficult dependent on in-patient or out-patient. Difficult to find names of who is in-charge.

7 Page 3 of 6 Felt people want to be able to talk to Karen. How do we crate opportunity? Excited that CNO was rounding on Thanksgiving. Felt people were really engaged. People on Mike s unit thanked us for hiring him. Nice experience. People showed pride of work on their units. Willing to talk. Communication Ambassador was excited to show what she does. Asked about e- Pulse Couplet Care & NICE Teamwork. Very engaged. During Nurses week round at off sites. Discussion / Ideas: Spotlight a unit? In Touch? E-Pulse? Employee recognition = unit recognition. Daisy awards have energy and vibrancy. Highlight best practices outside of LG? Highlight in Experience? Update Nursing website Who are we?, What are we doing? o Community Outreach o Share what we are doing with rounding. o Include pictures, videos?
