The Power of Collaboration: The iNurse Network
Rose CurryMarch 2014
Change Drivers
• The NHS needs to change to remain sustainable • Harnessing technology results in transformational
change (key examples of this in industry )• Challenges with capacity and demand exist- reducing
the burden of admin (paper) will free up clinical time to care for patients
• Need e-records, e-consultation, e-health, e-business• Our patients want this- they are our consumers
Change Drivers (cont)• Technology supports safer care and
clinical decisions• Technology supports transparency,
quality and patient choice• Need to think digital first- requires a
cultural change• Clinical leadership and involvement
required to focus on patient centred delivery and outcomes
Supports evidence based care delivery, effective decision making , sharing of information, measurement of the impact, quality and safety of care
6C’s Nursing Strategy: Supported by Technology
Networks and the NHS Change Model• Networks are user generated and
maintained• Strong evidence exists to show
clinical networks successfully deliver change (Darzi)
• The NHS change model includes key change domains and networks can support delivery of the following areas;– leadership of change– Spread of innovation– Engagement to mobilise– Improvement methodologies
Key Aspects of Clinical Networks• Clinical networks support change
through collaboration, sharing and learning
• They usually have a common goal and shared purpose
• Members can be individual…….together
• The Clinical information Network (CHIN) and iNurse network are recognised as exemplar networks and have enabled members to embrace clinical technology and ehealthcare locally
Nurses are largest professional group in NHS providing 70% of
care.
The iNurse network• Many nurses report they feel like ‘fish
out of water’ with regard to harnessing technology to support patient care and deliver practice change
• This led to demand for an iNurse network identified through the CHIN
• In place for 18 months now• Initial work plan covered a range of
areas including clinical standards for electronic record content, developing skills/competencies , sharing good practice, lessons learnt
iNurse Evaluation Survey• An evaluation of the iNurse was
completed in 2013 to assess support for the approach and agree priorities
• 78% said the network supported learning and professional development
• 100% wanted the network to continue and include representation of nurses from all grades, disciplines and organisations
• 95.5% wanted senior nurse support to embrace technology in their organisation
Supports my interest in developing
technology and improving outcomes,
reduces duplicate paperwork
Opportunity to discuss and share issues, new ways of working with colleagues and share
experiences
A great source of peer support and
networking to update clinicians regardless of
grade or experienceSharing best practice,
new initiatives, as nurse informatics is not high on every Trusts agenda
The meetings help me to identify skills and knowledge my team
would need to learn so that I can include this in
the appraisal process
