She has&nbsp;17 years&nbsp;of&nbsp;experience in healthcare&nbsp;and is committed to driving&nbsp;continuous process improvement in the face of&nbsp;today\u2019s&nbsp;rapidly evolving&nbsp;marketplace.&nbsp;Prior to joining TeleTracking, Brandi was the&nbsp;Director of Nursing&nbsp;at&nbsp;The Pickerington Surgery Center, the&nbsp;Manager of Outpatient Surgery&nbsp;at&nbsp;Genesis Healthcare System&nbsp;and an&nbsp;Assistant Nurse Manager&nbsp;at&nbsp;The Ohio State University Medical Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Why did you decide to become a nurse?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was in&nbsp;the middle of&nbsp;my student teaching, working&nbsp;towards&nbsp;becoming&nbsp;a middle school science teacher,&nbsp;when I gave birth to our second child. My birthing nurse was AMAZING! Her personality, expertise and knowledge provided my husband and I&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;feeling of safety&nbsp;that&nbsp;we needed&nbsp;during&nbsp;that&nbsp;life changing moment. I\u2019ll never forget&nbsp;the moment when&nbsp;we were in the birthing room,&nbsp;I looked at my husband and before our son was even born,&nbsp;I said, \u201cI\u2019m going back to school&nbsp;to&nbsp;become a nurse!\u201d He thought I was crazy! But&nbsp;I did&nbsp;go back to school,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I did&nbsp;become a nurse.&nbsp;Being able to&nbsp;comfort&nbsp;patients and&nbsp;their&nbsp;family members&nbsp;is&nbsp;just&nbsp;incredibly&nbsp;rewarding.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><em>As a side note, my husband ended up going back&nbsp;to school&nbsp;to become&nbsp;a nurse&nbsp;too!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. What are the biggest differences you\u2019ve seen in the profession since you started your career?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nursing&nbsp;inclusion and&nbsp;autonomy! The profession is evolving into&nbsp;one with&nbsp;highly specialized positions and&nbsp;nurses are&nbsp;well-respected members of the medical&nbsp;community.&nbsp;I&nbsp;also&nbsp;see&nbsp;major&nbsp;changes&nbsp;and&nbsp;a real&nbsp;transformation in&nbsp;how&nbsp;nurses&nbsp;perceive&nbsp;and embrace&nbsp;technology. The impact of technology really has reshaped&nbsp;the way&nbsp;we\u2019re&nbsp;doing&nbsp;our jobs today.&nbsp;We are understanding the importance of data and how it speaks volumes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. What&nbsp;are&nbsp;the biggest challenges facing nurses today?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staffing is a giant challenge for everyone.&nbsp;It is&nbsp;estimated&nbsp;that&nbsp;one&nbsp;million RN\u2019s will be needed by 2022! Nurses already often feel as if they aren\u2019t doing enough for their patients&nbsp;and are constantly being asked to do more with less\u2014and these feelings&nbsp;ultimately lead to burnout and dissatisfaction.&nbsp;In addition,&nbsp;nurses find this&nbsp;morally&nbsp;distressing since&nbsp;their&nbsp;main goal&nbsp;is&nbsp;always to provide&nbsp;the highest quality of care to their patients.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. What do you think can be done to solve the nursing shortage?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I believe there must be an incentive&nbsp;program to address this issue. We know we need&nbsp;nurses;&nbsp;however, how do we get&nbsp;people&nbsp;to even&nbsp;consider the profession?&nbsp;One possibility&nbsp;is&nbsp;establishing&nbsp;grant funding&nbsp;for&nbsp;recruiting initiatives.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many facilities are&nbsp;pushing to&nbsp;\u201conly\u201d hire BSN educated RN\u2019s. This has become an issue for&nbsp;associate&nbsp;degree nurses&nbsp;[ADN]. If there is a true shortage,&nbsp;a solution would be to hire&nbsp;ADNs&nbsp;and place them on a pathway&nbsp;to&nbsp;becoming a BSN within a certain amount of time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We also need nurse&nbsp;educators to be prepared and&nbsp;possibly&nbsp;incentivized. If there is to be an influx of students, there&nbsp;also needs to be enough&nbsp;educators.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facilities&nbsp;are&nbsp;already&nbsp;aware&nbsp;of this shortage\u2014whether it\u2019s globally&nbsp;or within their very own&nbsp;system. Looking at the shortage internally,&nbsp;they could start programs\/pathways&nbsp;in-house to&nbsp;develop employees&nbsp;who may be working in other functions and encourage them to&nbsp;pursue nursing.&nbsp;Some&nbsp;systems are&nbsp;already offering&nbsp;bonuses to&nbsp;nurses&nbsp;who are thinking of leaving&nbsp;to&nbsp;stay\u2014which&nbsp;is a nice band-aid&nbsp;but doesn\u2019t&nbsp;fix the&nbsp;problem.&nbsp;Across the board though&nbsp;facilities are forced to do more with less&nbsp;and so process&nbsp;improvement is a great idea\u2014looking&nbsp;at waste, including&nbsp;the staff&nbsp;in the&nbsp;planning and creating&nbsp;action&nbsp;plans.&nbsp;It also involves establishing&nbsp;baseline information,&nbsp;monitoring results and&nbsp;evaluating&nbsp;if the plans are alleviating issues for the frontline staff. Little wins create hope for the nurses. If they see they are being heard and action is happening, this alleviates some tension and assists them with providing a better quality of care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Share a patient story that has impacted you personally.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s just say&nbsp;NURSES HAVE THE CRAZIEST STORIES! I will spare you&nbsp;the&nbsp;good,&nbsp;the&nbsp;bad&nbsp;and the&nbsp;funny.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my career, I have found that a human is a human. It does not matter to me as the nurse\u2014a patient\u2019s&nbsp;status,&nbsp;their&nbsp;career, if&nbsp;they\u2019ve done bad&nbsp;or&nbsp;if&nbsp;they\u2019ve done well.&nbsp;A patient is&nbsp;a human being who&nbsp;needs&nbsp;care,&nbsp;and I\u2019m the other human&nbsp;being&nbsp;who&nbsp;can provide that healing care.&nbsp;You never know what&nbsp;a&nbsp;patient and&nbsp;their&nbsp;family have been through in life.&nbsp;I do know&nbsp;though that&nbsp;if&nbsp;you sit and listen to the patient and their loved ones it helps to ease what they are going through.&nbsp;Compassion, respect, dignity and communication&nbsp;always helps at&nbsp;mending hearts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. The World Health Organization has designated&nbsp;2020 the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife.&nbsp;Why is this type of recognition so important?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not the&nbsp;goal of&nbsp;a&nbsp;nurse to get recognition\u2014we believe we are just doing what we were born to do. However,&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;truly an honor for&nbsp;nurses to be recognized at this level.&nbsp;We have come so far&nbsp;in&nbsp;this profession! Nursing has&nbsp;such a wide variety of roles and specialties&nbsp;and&nbsp;the contribution that nurses make to the healthcare industry is immeasurable.&nbsp;And nurses are the most trusted profession!&nbsp;[Note: I didn\u2019t make this up\u2026this was a Gallup survey.&nbsp;????]&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe we will start to see&nbsp;even more&nbsp;changes within&nbsp;the&nbsp;profession with this recognition.&nbsp; Having the stage to celebrate being recognized will shine a light on us&nbsp;all.&nbsp;And this can only increase innovation, motivation and a better understanding of nursing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. How does TeleTracking help&nbsp;nurses and other health professionals deliver a better patient experience?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From&nbsp;a&nbsp;nurse\u2019s perspective,&nbsp;we are continuously communicating with multiple areas throughout our shifts\u2014and having several different modes of communication can be very challenging.&nbsp;And that communication must be easy to understand and fast. With technology advancing quickly,&nbsp;and healthcare continuously moving&nbsp;towards greater uses of&nbsp;it,&nbsp;it\u2019s key to have the right product that provides the best solutions for the end-user.&nbsp;TeleTracking improves communication and reduces the chance for errors.&nbsp;Having visual management that is correct and in real-time is a giant leap&nbsp;forward&nbsp;for&nbsp;efficiency\u2014leading to a higher quality of care for the patient.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially\u00a0in the OR\u00a0setting, there is a struggle with communication and what is going on with the patient in real-time.\u00a0TeleTracking\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/a6f61c8390.nxcli.io\/resources\/clinical-workflow-suite\/\">Clinical Workflow\u2122\u00a0Suite<\/a>\u00a0improves\u00a0the perioperative\u00a0setting:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verbal communication:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>1. Current&nbsp;State<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Staff utilize phones and other devices where each person&nbsp;verbally&nbsp;provides&nbsp;information.&nbsp;Clinicians&nbsp;may be with a patient at the time&nbsp;of a message and&nbsp;be interrupted.&nbsp;They&nbsp;will&nbsp;either&nbsp;have to&nbsp;step away from the patient or the patient will hear what is being said.&nbsp;Patients are already anxious in the perioperative setting\u2014the addition of stimulation and interruptions only&nbsp;increases their&nbsp;apprehension.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the perioperative setting it\u2019s typical for there to be staffed positions that are at a desk: Registration,&nbsp;PreOp, OR Control, PACU and Central Sterile.&nbsp;If we were to measure the amount of phone calls that transpire to and from&nbsp;these locations, it would be an enormous amount.&nbsp;It would be incredible to find out the&nbsp;amount of time spent going through the actions of calling\/receiving and turn&nbsp;it&nbsp;into a dollar amount.&nbsp;These calls not only interrupt both parties involved\u2014there is also&nbsp;the frustration&nbsp;of&nbsp;several parties calling for the same information on one patient&nbsp;and then having to find out the information from the bedside nurse\/tech.&nbsp;The&nbsp;information flow&nbsp;is filled with&nbsp;interruptions!&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp;2.&nbsp;Future State&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With&nbsp;TeleTracking\u2019s&nbsp;Clinical Workflow Suite,&nbsp;the&nbsp;click&nbsp;of&nbsp;a button&nbsp;replaces&nbsp;ephone&nbsp;calls. This action&nbsp;is&nbsp;displayed across the continuum of care on each department\u2019s views. Upon clicking, it can also send a notification to the required end users.&nbsp;This action is displayed for all to see&nbsp;and sends&nbsp;a notification&nbsp;instead of&nbsp;causing an interruption in the care of the patient.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Case Cancellations &#8211;&nbsp;If the OR Control desk cancels a case on the day of&nbsp;a&nbsp;procedure,&nbsp;the control desk member can cancel in either the EMR (interface with Clinical Workflow Suite) or in Clinical&nbsp;Workflow&nbsp;Suite. Once the case is cancelled,&nbsp;it will display on all screens and in all locations the case is now canceled. If the OR setting would like,&nbsp;it can also send a notification to the required end users to acknowledge the cancellation. This eliminates&nbsp;all&nbsp;the phone calls to&nbsp;all&nbsp;the locations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. How&nbsp;is&nbsp;TeleTracking\u2019s&nbsp;OR solution&nbsp;helping&nbsp;to&nbsp;improve&nbsp;communication\/efficiency&nbsp;across the care continuum?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is often joked that the OR setting is considered a \u201cblack hole\u201d within the hospital.&nbsp;Staff wonder, what is going on in \u201creal-time\u201d with the patients and the supporting areas?&nbsp;Having an electronic real-time view of the OR schedule\u2014knowing when patients walk into the&nbsp;registration area and&nbsp;then&nbsp;visually&nbsp;seeing&nbsp;the real-time flow of the patient as they move to Pre-Op,&nbsp;the&nbsp;OR&nbsp;and&nbsp;PACU\u2014offers&nbsp;the facility the information&nbsp;they need&nbsp;to be proactive and efficient. At the tap of an icon we can alleviate many phone calls, text messages, pages\u2014and create more time for the staff to be with the patients.&nbsp;Each icon can also be displayed on each screen for each area\u2014this transparency can eliminate many frustrations of not knowing what is going on in real-time and the areas can prepare for better outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Next Profile in Our&nbsp;Year-Long Celebration of the Amazing Accomplishments of Nurses&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Every day nurses around the globe deliver kind, compassionate care\u2014they hold the hand of an elderly patient,&nbsp;dry the tears of a frightened child,&nbsp;and comfort grieving family members.
