In trying to improve our Core Measures compliance, we are looking for new ways to do things. I am looking for ideas

We have embraced Six Sigma, one of the projects focused on ED throughput and the Admission Nurses were born. The goal is to complete the clinical history, pull pertinent studies, obtain orders then turn the pt over to the floor staff. The staff love it, the physicans are split 70/30 with most liking the program. We are still tweaking the role and responibilites, and expanding the coverage to 24 hours.
