Reduction of Serious Harm Events with Practice Change(s) and Implementation of Clinical Education Software

摘要

In early 2017, our cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) on-boarded an intensivist, nurse manager, and nurse educator team to guide practice changes on the unit. The goal was to have 24/7 physician coverage in the unit for close monitoring of patients and to develop a nursing team well versed in cardiac intensive care.
