Resources

Resources related to best practice and decision making are available and incorporated into unit specific professional practice standards (see table below), annual skills validation, nurse education and training workshops, and information embedded into technology such as Pyxis and e-chart. Internet access enables online journal review, journals are available offline in the HRC. Review of current literature enhances development of policies, procedures, and protocols based on best practice. Examples may be seen in Policy #3015 Seizure Precautions from Women’s Services (9.2f) and in Moderate Sedation: Sedation / Analgesia Administration for Procedures ~ Adult.. Professional growth, practice change, and revision of current practice standards are further enhanced via situational debriefing, peer consultation, chart reviews and multidisciplinary collaboration.
