A New Look at Staffing
Since the pandemic, hospitals are looking for creative strategies to
bridge the staffing gap. Hear from one facility who was particularly
struggling to find surgical technologists (ST) to staff the OR. Learn
how they created an innovative approach to fill the ST shortage
by designing a licensed professional nurse (LPN) scrub internship
program to support multiple campuses within the health system.
The LPN to ST hire ratio was 7:0, validating the program's benefit to
staffing the OR.
Learning objectives:
* Discover how LPNs can effectively contribute to the OR.
* Learn key components to a successful LPN internship program.
* Develop a strategy to utilize alternative staff resources.
Take-home tool: A curriculum to match the LPN scope of practice
applicable to the OR environment, encompassing both didactic and
direct clinical instruction
Speakers:
Daphne Feinour, RN, Patient Care Specialist, Lehigh Valley Health
Network
Hope Johnson, DNP, MBA, RN, CNOR, NEA-BC, Vice President of
Perioperative Services, Lehigh Valley Health Network
Managing Disruptive Behavior - A New Approach to
Better Communication
How do you manage disruptive behavior in your OR? The OR
Nurse Manager shoulders responsibility to create an inclusive,
safe environment for the entire surgical team addressing threats
including disruptive behavior. Disruptive behavior directed towards
others, often witnessed, and violating the standard of respectful
conduct, may be expressed by increasing levels of severity as
incivility, micro-aggressions, bullying, or sexual harassment. It's
important to respond in a consistent, timely manner to improve
staff morale, and increase productivity and staff retention. Using
tools to help guide you along the way, such as the " Safe Surgery
Debriefing Protocol " (SSDP) can be your key to success.
Learning objectives:
* Define " Safe Surgery Debriefing Protocol " (SSDP) as a tool to
address issues in communication.
* Learn how using demonstration videos and mock debriefings
can serve as a tool to mitigating disruptive behavior.
* Build self-confidence for all team members to speak up.
Take-home tool: An electronic copy of the Safe Surgery Debriefing
Protocol (SSDP)
Speaker:
Jessica Atkinson, BSN, BSAVS, Operating Room Nurse Manager,
Maine Medical Center
