Abstract :

This presentation highlights the need for clinical education to return to the bedside in a strategic manner to assist Registered Nurses (RNs) in clinical practice standards: Clinical Practice Rounding Tool (CPR-T). The tool will be able to feel the pulse of clinical practice. The presentation will elaborate on the technique used for creating the CPR-T, specific concerns and improvements that arose during rounding. Building a start-up organization in the Middle East from a USA-based hospital franchise integrated caregivers from around the world with backgrounds of different scopes of practice and models of care. RNs were assessed and it was found that clinical practices varied greatly. A method to quantify the quality of care and knowledge of the RN possessed for the patients was needed. RNs had a desire to improve their clinical skills, but in a manner that was applicable to their experience and individual needs. This proposed tool for practical rounding has enhanced the experience of the RNs. The tool assisted in developing RNs� learning plans as a clinician. RNs have the opportunity to engage in the CPR-T at least once throughout the year, which occurred at the bedside with the patients. Increased patient involvement and awareness in their care plan was observed. RNs were made aware in real-time what clinical practice concerns were addressed or needed to be addressed. A CPR-T has a profound impact in the development of RNs clinical practice growth. It promoted education and the speak-up philosophy of the healthcare team.
