OASIS
and OBQI Can Improve Nursing Practice -
Nursing Staff might not understand the direct effect OASIS
data can have on OBQI outcome results, and ultimately on an
agency's operations. Therefore, don't underestimate the
importance of educating field staff. The fastest way to
alienate staff is to keep them from seeing the clinical
relevance of their activities. Informing clinical staff
about the relationship of OASIS and OBQI will help keep them
committed to the quality improvement plan and will
ultimately improve your outcomes and benefit patients. |
