Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to facilitate cost-effective, high quality care within the the ICUs of two Ottawa teaching hospitals through educational workshops and nurse scheduling optimization.
Detailed Description:
This intervention pilot study has been developed for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) physicians and nurses by the Resource Optimization Network (RON) for implementation in The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) Civic Campus and the Montfort Hospital. The intervention targets ICU staff and is designed to reduce overall costs associated with ICU health care service delivery and improve staff satisfaction through reducing stress and associated burnout without sacrificing quality of care and patient outcomes. The intervention involves two components that (a) build ICU staffs' (i.e. physicians and nurses) knowledge to facilitate cost-effective and evidence-based decision making about patient care (including tests, treatments, and procedures); and (b) optimize nurse scheduling to ensure the presence of the appropriate number of nurses per shift, thereby reducing stress, burnout and limiting the need for overtime. To evaluate the impact of the intervention, a pre/post-intervention design will be employed, with a 3-month pre-intervention period, followed by a 6-month intervention period and a 3-month post-intervention period.
