| New role improves patient transfers and increases staff satisfaction |
| While working on his master's degree, Rob McEver, RN, MSN, BBA, medical-surgical (med-surg) nurse manager at Mercy Health Center in Oklahoma City, needed to develop a project that involved making positive changes that he could write about for his course. So he went to Mercy's med-surg nurses and asked what stopped them from providing quality patient care at the bedside.
"The answers I consistently heard were interruptions and paperwork due to patients being transferred from the postanesthesia care unit to the medical-surgical floor," says McEver. |
