Hi,
Just wondering about your thoughts on the Studer group? Does your facility use them? What's your response etc?
I have been apart of a couple facilities that used them One facility went all the way, it was a fantastic place to work. It really was a site to see.
The other place was half ass about it. I did not even know they used them until I started digging. It was a mixture of trying to do a good job and "screw you, get back to work"...lol
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. Also, are there any other programs like this around?
Thanks, David

Re: Studer Group
It really seems to be the case, if it is not the heart and soul of the organization from the top down, it will never take off. It's just lip service.

Re: Studer Group
One facility where I was management started to use it. Some of it was great. I tried to use portions of it for my unit and there was mixed results from the staff.
However the way that the admin/CNO tried to use it resulted in a lot of negativity from the staff.
It really depends on how you apply the principles and treat the staff. If the staff don't feel supported, all that baloney is just going to make them more resentful.

Re: Studer Group
The facility I work for is "Studorized"!!! And I do agree that it must come from the top down. I am a nurse manager of a 31 bed Med Surg unit that just became MAGNET. I honestly believe that using the studor principles has helped us acheive our magnet status. We Round for outcomes with staff and patients. We send thank you notes to our staff, we align our goals around the 5 pillars etc... I highly recommend looking into Quint Studor and reading his books on your own even if your facility does not follow along. You will get very far on your own with the ideas

Re: Studer Group
if Admin would spend the money on keeping their staff happy, upgrades to the tools we use daily, reduce the paperwork, instead of being sucked in by companies that think they have reinvented the wheel, hospitals would run efficiently. In fact, I think if they (Admin) would ask NURSES, TECHS, PHARMACIST, DOCTORS that work in hospitals 24/7 HOW?, WHAT?, WHERE?, WHEN?, WHY? they may get questions answered. Oh, I forgot, they can't think, they need to hire a consultant that doesn't come to the hospital except to walk to the Admin offices and pitch their snake oil.

It's funny, but that's what the Studer group wants leaders to do with "Rounding for Outcomes." Not the typical "Hi, how are you?" but "what is going well today?... and do you have the tools you need to do your job?" Getting the staff to answer the questions honestly is one of the challenges. When our facility first started using the Studer principles, many staff members would not speak up and try their best to avoid leadership making the rounds. Be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it...
