You spend money and time on education, but are your people getting what you hoped out of your efforts? AORN Works consultants assess your educational program and make recommendations related to program development/revisions that will keep your staff motivated and on top of their profession.
Elements to be reviewed during an educational assessment are as follows:
Educator's role/job description/effectiveness
Existing educational needs assessment
Educational program outline
Multidisciplinary orientation program
Preceptor education
Unit specific mandatory education
Existing written competencies
Competency assessment
Availability of educational resources
Communication of information
Many hospitals have found great value in using AORN Works consultants to assess clinical practice in interventional radiology, cardiac cath lab and OB in order to identify opportunities for practice improvement.
Our consultants will share their findings and make recommendations for both short and long term solutions. These may range from program design, to preceptor education, to mentoring of a nurse educator.
