Objectives: To evaluate and compare self-perceived clinical competence among new nursing staff before and after training program. Settings: Apex Trauma Centre in Northern India. Study design: A prospective observational study. Intervention: New graduate nurses joining the institute during study period underwent a comprehensive training module to enhance their skills and confidence. A 20-item validated questionnaire was offered to participants for self-evaluation of their skills before and after receiving the training. Competence level of each nurse was computed by adding score of individual items in questionnaire. Results: A total 136 newly joined nurses underwent training program during study period, of who 120 participated in the study. There was a significant improvement in all 20 domains of clinical and housekeeping skills after the induction program (all p values < 0.01). Before induction program, less than two-third of staff were confident about competence in key clinical skills. After induction more than 85% of attendees were confident of necessary skills. Conclusion: In our study, the induction by critical care training program was effective in promoting confidence and clinical competence of new nurses.","PeriodicalId":474716,"journal":{"name":"International journal of Research Foundation of Hospital and Healthcare Administration","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134912950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, there are many primary level institutions (PLIs) that do not have the laboratory facilities of their own. Satellite laboratory system (SLS) of Base Hospital Warakapola (BHW) was conceptualized with the aim of offering laboratory facilities for the clients of eight PLIs. The current study aimed to evaluate the impact of digitalization of SLS of BHW. Materials and methods: The process of SLS was extensively studied. The study identified gaps in the process of SLS, BHW (Phase I), implemented the intervention of digitalization of SLS (Phase II), and evaluated the intervention after 3 months (Phase III). Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used in the study. Patients survey, key informant interviews (KIIs), and desk review of secondary data were the instruments and techniques used. The gaps identified were delay in delivery of reports, errors in transcribing investigation results informed over the phone, poor quality of handwritten reports, and reduced customer satisfaction. The delivery of reports was improved by emailing them to PLIs, which eliminated the requirement of conveying them over the phone. The report was printed at PLIs and issued to patients. The necessary infrastructure facilities to the institutions and training to the staff on use of computers and printers and email were provided. Results: The evaluation of interventions revealed that the availability of reports within 24 hours has improved from 82.19 to 100% significantly reducing the turnaround time of reports. The percentage of reports not collected by patients dropped from 12.92 to 2.87%. The patients’ satisfaction was improved about the availability of reports within 24 hours and convenience in cost and time spent significantly. It was noteworthy that both pre-and post-interventional level clients were satisfied about the trustworthiness of SLS. Both the staff of BHW and PLIs expressed their satisfaction with the interventions and improved turnaround time of reports. In conclusion, the project identified the gaps in the process of SLS and was able to overcome them with the interventions. The improvement in the process leads to enhanced efficiency of the SLS.","PeriodicalId":474716,"journal":{"name":"International journal of Research Foundation of Hospital and Healthcare Administration","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134912444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even with the apparently quick acceptance and dissemination of the checklists, there are limited researches depicting the definite methods of creating and implementing such tools in health care. Aim: The aim of this study is to explore the experiences from checklist development and implementation in a group of three vital departments of hospital—Medical Records Department, Central Sterile Supplies Department, and Department of Nursing Services. Materials and methods: Execution of customized version of checklists in three following departments was planned, i.e., Medical Records Department, Central Sterile Supplies Department, and Department of Nursing Services, and after ensuring the changes made after pilot testing were valid, training programs for all the staffs of those three departments was planned, and the checklists was implemented using PDSA cycle. Conclusion: Checklists development involves a comprehensive, efficient and systematic approach, especially when implemented in high intensity fields for example the medical field. The checklists will help hospitals and health care systems in their endeavors to prevent and lessen preventable errors, which are the ultimate objectives of any healthcare organization.","PeriodicalId":474716,"journal":{"name":"International journal of Research Foundation of Hospital and Healthcare Administration","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134912960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
