After collaboration with obstetricians, the content was offered as a systemwide mandatory class presented by hospital perinatal educators. During May and June 2011, approximately 350 nurses from the labor and delivery and postpartum departments from four hospitals attended with a 95% compliance rate. The remaining hospitals in the system are currently implementing the program. Evaluations were overwhelmingly positive with many nurses expressing satisfaction with the content, guidelines, case studies, and use of Situation-Background-AssessmentRecommendation (SBAR) for communicating with physicians. Originally, it was thought the core content could be taught as three separate 1hour offerings but the vast majority of hospitals chose to do one 3-hour session. This decision actually facilitated scheduling the classes and tracking attendees. Nursing contact hours were provided. Registration and completion of the course was entered on a system web site. |
