1859 Business as Usual. a, Proven Effective, Model to Train and Authorise Nurses in Reserved Procedures in a Children's Hospital

Abstract

Arch Dis Child 2012;97(Suppl 2):A1-A539 A525 AbstractsMethod An interdisciplinary group from OUS children's department cooperated. After a thoroughly literature review medical knowledge and normalization of daily life was chosen to be highlighted. We individualized the information by dividing it into information categories like; pre-and postoperative considerations(2), different sirculatory consequences(5), medication management(12), nutrition, follow-up, a form to fill in about specific treatment and an uncompleted heart drawing to adapt to the infants diagnosis. A binder was designed to gather information and accompany infants trough coming years of follow-up and to be used in communication between parents and daycare and school. At discharge from OUS information sheets are distributed to local health service. Results A nationwide and evidence based systematic information system that allows health personnel tindividualize informational needs and cooperate across health services. Background and Aims According to Dutch legislation nurses are allowed to perform a number of medical procedures, known as "reserved procedures". Nurses are permitted to perform these procedures, but only after thorough education, training, examination and authorisation. The aim was to develop and implement an efficient and effective model to facilitate these demands, on behalf of the (non-ICU) nursing staff of our children's hospital. Methods We developed a cyclical blended learning method containing: e-learning, training of local assessors, bedside teaching, structural examination and registration. BUSINESS AS USUAL.
