Area of Science:

Healthcare Communication
Nursing Informatics
Organizational Communication

Background:

Effective communication is critical in healthcare, yet nurses face information overload with no standardized delivery method.
Existing communication channels like emails and meetings do not guarantee information dissemination to all nursing staff.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the acceptability and usability of a novel standardized communication tool for nurses.
To determine if a digital platform can improve the delivery of organizational information to nursing personnel.

Main Methods:

A descriptive, cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 280 nurses at a suburban hospital.
Nurses received weekly communications via 'Clinical Chatter,' an online tool for organizational updates, followed by acceptability and usability assessments.

Main Results:

The Clinical Chatter tool demonstrated adequate acceptability and usability among hospital nurses.
No significant association was found between nurses' age or years of experience and their perception of the tool's usefulness or acceptance.

Conclusions:

The Clinical Chatter tool is a viable standardized method for disseminating key information to nurses in a hospital setting.
Establishing and supporting clear communication systems by nursing leadership is essential for improving patient care, outcomes, and nurse job satisfaction.
