UCSF Center for Healthcare Value - Caring Wisely 2.0

Crowd-sourcing innovative cost savings ideas from the front lines of care delivery systems

Podcast for Nursing policy and procedures with CEs

Idea Status: 

I am currently a PCA, but will be part of the new grad rn program.  Policies and procedures are not always followed by even experienced nurses.  Ex.  I have observed two expereinced nurses at UCSF clamping chest tubes for transport.  Our nurses needed to be aware of changes in policies and procedures in order to provide safe care for our patients and to prevent costly lawsuits.  Podcasts could make the policies less laborious and more accessable.   CEs would provide an additional motivation.  John Hopkins and other major universities already provide educational podcasts for nurses and medical students online.
