KEY PROBLEMS • In absence of organisational workforce or education strategy, senior nursing/ midwifery roles evolved to meet individual service needs. • This resulted in lack of clarity, equity and role ambiguity. • Key drivers – equity across services, clarity of roles
INNOVATIONS IMPLEMENTED • Improved access to: • professional leadership & support • clarity of senior roles/reporting lines Achieved through: 1. Developed 4 roles: • Clinical Nurse/Midwife Educator • Clinical Nurse/Midwife Specialists • Nurse/Midwife Lecturers • Nurse Clinicians
INNOVATIONS IMPLEMENTED 2. PDU - focused education & professional development - collaborative and responsive to services - revenue opportunities from education - expected efficiencies from preparation of courses, administration and coordination time - Positions approved & ready to advertise 3. Contribute to rostered clinical hours (seniors at point of patient care) & ensures patient centred & specialty practice across continuum. Makes structure affordable 4. Anticipated saving of $519,674 pa. Reduced turnover of nurses targeted at $126,800 pa.
OUTCOMES SO FAR • Savings • Turnover • Provide numerical evidence that the changes have made an improvement for patients or staff – e.g. a before and after chart, trend line (2 slides maximum) • Unhappy senior nurses/midwives retained their professionalism • What impact on patient or staff safety during the process?
LESSONS LEARNT • Put processes in place for sign off of PD’s • Clear process and communication at every stage • Respected facilitator • Include all roles (didn’t include coordinators, team leaders, IV, CPR, Manual Handling etc) • Have clear and short timeframes (3 months)
