Title: Building Nursing Teams for the Future


1
  • Building Nursing Teams for the Future

2
Why should nurses consider examining the way we
organise our nursing care?
3
  • We are experiencing changes in our nursing
    workforce including
  • The introduction of different levels of nurses
  • An aging workforce and
  • An increasing number of novice practitioners.

4
All will have an impact on the workforce of
tomorrow
5
  • The healthcare environment in which we work has
    altered over the last decade
  • We are now exposed to
  • An increase in patient acuity
  • An increased number of patients with one or more
    chronic conditions and associated co-morbidities
  • Improved care and treatment has led to a reduced
    length of stay and a high patient turnover
  • Rapidly expanding medical and technical
    breakthroughs resulting in an increased
    complexity and need for specialty care.

6
  • Consequently, acute care hospitals are busy
    places accommodating sicker patients requiring
    more intensive treatments necessitating
  • coordinated
  • and expert nursing care

7
  • A key recommendation (45) of the Garling Report
    identified that state-wide principles of best
    practice for the supervision of junior
    clinicians should be developed
  • Clinical leaders must build a culture where all
    staff assume the role of supervision in the
    interests of the patient.

8
  • First year RNs and nurses new to the ward/unit
    require support and supervision from more
    experienced nurses

9
  • The Bureau of health Information (BHI) Insights
    Into Care Report looks closely at the care
    experiences of the one million patients who spend
    a day, or one or more nights, in NSW public
    hospitals each year. The report states that
  • staff teamwork
  • and courtesy of nurses matter most
  • to patients across NSW

In a nut shell
  • Acute care hospitals are busy places
    accommodatingsicker patients who require more
    intensive treatments requiring coordinated and
    expert nursing care
  • Need to recruit and retain nurses in the system
  • First year RNs require support and supervision
    during their first critical year of practice
  • Nurses new to the ward/unit require support and
    guidance
  • Staff teamwork and courtesy of nurses matter
    most to patients across NSW.

11
  • Therefore, nurses today need to support and grow
    the workforce of the future by ensuring that
    not only the science but also the art of
    nursing is supported through the way that work
    is organised

12
What is the WOW project?
  • NSW Health Nursing and Midwifery Office
    commenced the WOW Project in 2010
  • The project explored the ways in which nurses
    organise their clinical work.

13
WOW project findings
  • Site visits and discussions with a number of
    nurses and other key stakeholders were conducted
    across NSW to gain an understanding of the
    variety of ways that work is organised at the
    ward/unit level.
  • A number of WOW have been identified
  • Patient allocation
  • Allocation in teams
  • Task or functional
  • Modular
  • Primary Nursing
  • Case management
  • Team.

14
  • More collaborative approaches will help to build
    future nurses skills and capabilities
  • A Collaborative Nursing Model requires teamwork

15
Teamwork requires
  • A clear vision for the future
  • Team members roles are clearly defined and all
    team members know what their jobs are
  • Open and clear communication
  • Effective decision making
  • Balanced participation ensures that everyone on
    the team is fully involved. Without
    participation you dont have a team, you have a
    group of bodies
  • Valued diversity where team members are valued
    for the contributions that they bring to the
    team
  • Managed conflict ensures that problems are not
    swept under the rug
  • Positive atmosphere with trust being the most
    important ingredient
  • Cooperative relationships where there is a sense
    of belonging and a willingness to make things
    work for the good of the whole team
  • Participative leadership where leaders share the
    responsibility and the glory, are supportive and
    fair, create a climate of trust and openness and
    are good coaches and teachers.

16
How can you implement a Collaborative Nursing
Model in your ward/unit?
17
The WOW Resource
  • Introduces the evidence for considering a CNM in
    your ward/unit
  • Provides guidelines for implementing a CNM in
    your ward/unit
  • Provides an audiovisual representation of nurses
    working collaboratively Making it Real
  • Provides tools that can be used to support and
    evaluate a CNM.
