January 2003:
Forrest General Hospital
goes
live with
Computer Based Training (CBT).
Forrest
General Hospital is a 500+ bed regional referral, multi-facility
tertiary care medical center with approximately 3,000 employees. In
1997 the hospital went live on the Ulticare® / Patient1® / Vista / Misys
CPR™ / Misys CPOE™.
In
January 2003, Negley, Ott & Associates, Inc.
delivered a customized training system for
Forrest General to use with their patient care staff in order to
learn the "best practices" approach to leveraging the Ulticare®
/ Patient1® / Vista / Misys CPR™ / Misys CPOE™ system. For years, the
Education and Analysts staff at Forrest General have conducted training
classes which required physical proctoring of classrooms. This was very time
consuming and only provided a limited opportunity for staff to learn all of
the automation procedures on Ulticare® / Patient1® /
Vista / Misys CPR™ / Misys CPOE™ in
order to generate maximum return on
investment (ROI).
Due to
recognizing that the knowledge transfer process in a classroom setting had
varying levels of success due to the need to cover so much information, the
hospital decided to leverage an automated training system that looks just
like the Ulticare® / Patient1® / Vista / Misys CPR™ /
Misys CPOE™ system. The
Computerized Based Training (CBT) system at
Forrest General is designed to train nurses, nurse aids and
technicians as well as unit secretaries on Ulticare® / Patient1®
/ Vista / Misys CPR™ / Misys CPOE™. One of the
benefits of a CBT is the flexibility of all staff being able to access it
any time when needed to both initially learn or refresh skills on the
Ulticare® / Patient1® / Vista / Misys CPR™ / Misys
CPOE™ system.
By using the CBT the hospital hopes to achieve a greater degree of
compliance with clinical practices on the Ulticare® / Patient1®
/ Vista / Misys CPR™ / Misys CPOE™ system which
are considered "best practices."
This was a large project undertaking, and Negley,
Ott & Associates, Inc. was able to deliver a functionally rich
CBT with the following lesson plans requested by
Forrest General:
1) STAFF ASSIGNMENTS & QUEUES
2) PATIENT SCHEDULES & REVIEW QUEUES
3) ORDER ENTRY
4) CHART REVIEW
5) SPECIMEN PROCESSING
6) CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION FOR ASSESSMENTS
7) CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION FOR PROCEDURES
CONGRATULATIONS TO FORREST GENERAL
HOSPITAL ON CONTINUED EXCELLENCE FOR THEIR USE OF TECHNOLOGY
TOWARDS IMPROVING PATIENT CARE DELIVERY!
