  22. Implementing Care Paths Try testing these tools in parallel with different groups of staff Test Change in Condition File Cards Test Use of Care Paths Test Use of Stop & Watch Tool

  23. Poll Question What percent of staff should have had a chance to test and give feedback before formally adopting a tool? • Around 10% • 25% • Half • More than half • Almost everyone

  24. Discussion How would you approach getting more staff involved in testing both the Change in Condition cards and Care Paths ?

  25. Poll Answer

  26. Action Items for this Month • Review the Change in Condition Tools with Staff • Review Care Paths with Nursing Staff • Have 2 different groups of volunteers test the Change in Condition Cards and Care Paths through small tests. • Evaluate the tests and Decide to adapt/adopt/abandon based on results • Submit data An on-line Feedback Tool will be sent after November 7th to assess your progress on these tasks.
