Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Expansion of a 14-bed medical intensive care unit (MICU) highlighted deficiencies in existing staff orientation.
  • Staff feedback and quality indicators revealed decreased practice standards and challenges in staff development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a restructured preceptor and orientation program in a MICU setting.
  • To improve communication, staff satisfaction, and quality of care.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a structured preceptor/orientation program.
  • Gathering staff feedback and reviewing quality indicators pre- and post-implementation.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in interprofessional communication were observed.
