Productive Ward – Update and Refresh
This short programme is designed to re-invigorate nursing teams who have commenced the productive ward QI programme by refreshing module content, revisiting the methods and tools that are used using a shared, experiential learning approach. The Productive Ward: Releasing Time to Care™, quality improvement initiative, was implemented in Ireland in 2010, enabling staff to make improvements through the redesigning and streamlining of the way staff and services deliver care with an emphasis on patient safety.
