View Attendee Testimonials

AWHONN's staffing guidelines provides a basis for planning adequate registered nurse staffing that results in safe and effective perinatal nursing care.  However, in order to  implement these guidelines, you must first prove to hospital  administration and finance departments why and how they will be beneficial.

The information you learn from this webinar will help you strategize about how to make the case for why your hospital should implement the new staffing guidelines and the best ways to do this based on the opportunities and challenges you face in your setting. Keys to success are careful prioritization of which guidelines to implement first and insightful decisions about outcomes to measure and track going forward. 

View this webinar and learn:
  • Strategies for advocating the adoption of the guidelines to your organization's leadership in order to give you the best chance for success when "making your pitch."
  • A sample of recommended data elements to collect that will help you create a successful presentation to administration and finance for adoption of the guidelines.
  • Methods to prioritize the adoption of the guidelines in your organization, so you can  implement the most critical guidelines first.
  • Outcome metrics related to perinatal & neonatal staffing in each clinical setting in order to help you monitor your implementation progress.
  • Case studies on how staffing guideline implementation is being planned and carried out in both a small community hospital and a large volume maternity hospital.

Questions that will be answered with this webinar:
1. How much should you try to achieve in one visit to finance and administration? 
2. What outcomes metrics linked to staffing should you track?
3. If you feel you are on target with staffing and quality care, what aspects could you do better? 
4. If you don't have any care issues, what are your patient satisfaction scores?
5. What should you do if leadership says "Not this year!"?
