sample plan method: implementation of team huddles

hi.

Im doing a research project on the implementation of huddles and its effect on decreasing patient injury and increasing nurses' perception of teamwork.

What time of sampling plan would I create if I wanted to research shift huddles on a particular unit?

Any inclusion/exclusion criteria to create?

I figure, my sample plan may be a convenience plan of all the RNs on the unit? what else would I need to look at?

Thanks.

    correct.

    group shift report at the beginning of a shift to cover areas of improvement, reminders, concerns, etc.

    I am not sure exactly what you are looking for but huddles seem to be chaotic complaining sessions where everyone gets 15 minutes behind on 9am meds for not a whole lot of improvement.

    I prefer a well informed charge nurse (since ours carry 2 pts and are supposed to support the staff).

    On night shift it was easy to know everyone's patients, however on days, by 10am you might already have 2-4 new ones on the floor.

    This probably didn't help. Sorry and good luck :)

    PS. I also find privacy and HIPPA to be an issue with these on our floor. When you have 5 nurses, 2 techs, and a secretary all standing at the desk, never paying attention to whose family member is right around the other side.
