Nursing professional practice plays a crucial leadership role in supporting nursing staff and leaders in developing policies, parameters and philosophical approaches for delivering safe patient care. The professional practice leadership at Humber River Hospital, a large Canadian community hospital, implemented three key interventions in this hospital-based case study: (1) proactive workforce planning, (2) increased nursing student placements and (3) novel "stretch model of care" in the intensive care unit (ICU). The overall results follow-ingthe implementation of these interventions resulted in substantial improvements. For example, proactive nursing workforce planning supported both a 98% reduction in agency utilization and an accelerated ICU certification program with an 84% certificate completion rate. Through innovative strategies, there was a significant increase (33-67%) in the number of nursing student placements during the first two years of the pandemic compared with previous years. Within the ICU setting, we maintained optimum ICU capacity that resulted in stronger partnership-driven relationships between nurses and physicians through an interprofessional "stretch model of care." Finally, we avoided emergency department closures and Code Orange calls during peaks of the pandemic. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
