Dynamics of Peer Learning in Medical Department: Journal and Case Sharing Club

摘要

Shortage of experienced manpower is probably the most common challenge faced by healthcare organizations in recent healthcare trend. This problem affects not only services but also appropriate staff mixture to maintain care quality. Since 2016, 60% of the nurses in our department were having less than 3 years of experience. "Dynamic Case and Journal Sharing Club" was initially developed to assist novice nurses to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real practice. Subsequently, this new learning strategy became a peer learning culture in the department and provided opportunities for staff to identify quality improvement focus through discussion. The most valuable contribution was allowed novice nurses to grow their experience through peer sharing and gradually build up their clinical insights.
