Work From Home Initiative in the Leukemia Center
Get PDFPatient workload did not decrease during the COVID-19 pandemic but adjustments in healthcare, such as telemedicine, were made to accommodate patient care. Burnout contributes to higher turnover rates, lower career satisfaction, and absenteeism. The March 2023 Employee Engagement Survey for the Leukemia Center showed an increase in the burnout level at 9% compared to the March 2021 Big Survey results of 5%. The objective of the WFH initiative was to decrease burnout to 15% by April 2024 by providing standardized flexible staff schedules. The data from the pre-implementation survey and the 6-month post survey showed that staff reporting elevated levels of burnout decreased from 35% to 19.05%. Alternatively, staff who reported low levels of burn out increased from 65% to 80.95%. The WFH initiative to decrease burnout may be transferrable to other centers depending on adequate staffing and integration with their current workflow.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/acif24/1004/thumbnail.jp
Improving Pain Assessment Documentation In Leukemia Center
No full textIn 2022, the Leukemia Center was non-compliant with organizational pain assessment (PA) documentation requirements (goal 95%) with documentation rate of 69%. Nurses, who primarily complete PAs, may encounter multiple barriers including unclear organizational policies, changing documentation requirements, and inefficient documentation practices. Educational materials were developed to inform all staff on institutional policies, current PA documentation rates, step-by-step instructions, and utilization of the Nursing Checklist tool as a visual reminder to double check completion of documentation. Six months post-implementation, the average rate of PA documentation compliance increased to 87%. To achieve substantial change in nursing PA documentation compliance, the following were necessary: guidance on the policy and specific documentation criteria, staff coaching and educational efforts, direct leadership involvement, audit, feedback, clear accountability, and alignment with performance goals.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/acif24/1008/thumbnail.jp
