The Platform for Allied Health
Online Learning
Streamline core concept learning for allied health staff with a concise “what to do and why” videos and quiz. Our online learning is efficient, high quality and on-demand.
Skills Certification
Gain confidence in your SIBR performance and eradicate blind spots with objective electronic skills assessments. Real-time, impartial, skills assessment provide private, objective feedback on high-performance behaviors to achieve SIBR certification.
Tracking & Reporting
Tracked daily SIBR® rounds data gives you insights into your performance over time and versus your peers. The data feeds daily, weekly and quarterly performance reports for the unit and dashboards for unit and hospital leaders. Your individual scorecard gives you objective feedback on your performance.
STEP ONE: Online Training Modules
The 1Unit Platform streamlines and standardizes the introductory portion of Nurses First and SIBR training (which is followed by onsite, in-service education).
It takes just 20 minutes per person to learn the basic “what” and “why” of either Nurses First or SIBR.
These videos are crucial for initial rollout – to level-set all staff on a unit to the core concepts – as well as for sustainability: equipping new staff later with on-demand, just-in-time learning.
This online training is an efficient way to conduct introductory education – concise, high quality, on-demand, fully tracked, every time – which in turn reduces the duration and improves the outcomes of in-service/classroom training.
Additional resources to support rapid upskilling to a high-quality are also available with best practices for pharmacists and social workers/discharge planners. These cover topics for SIBR preparation and provision, post-SIBR tasks, supporting the team to overcome clinical inertia and example phrasing to get you going.
STEP TWO: Electronic Skills Assessments
The 1Unit Platform enables electronic skills assessment and verification of Bedside Handover competence and SIBR certification.
We began developing this software in 2013 when we saw a need for standardized, impartial skills assessments. Our healthcare and software engineers have been refining this tool for 6 years and through dozens of implementations. Each assessment is captured, date- and time-stamped, and available for review by unit and hospital leaders.
Electronic skills assessments are an effective way to deliver private, objective, real-time, specific feedback based on observed performance relative to a set of high-performance behaviors. They are ideal for revealing blind spots and improving performance right away.
When an individual earns three passing scores, the 1Unit Software Platform marks them as ‘SIBR Certified’ or ‘Competency Verified for Bedside Handover’ (as the case may be).
The individual is then eligible to receive and wear an N1 badge or SIBR pin.
STEP THREE: Process Performance Tracking
How does your SIBR performance compare with your allied health peers? Are you doing more per day? Is your quality as good as, or better than, your colleagues? Are you leading the hospital in SIBR points? Daily performance tracking of SIBR quantity and quality feeds into your Individual SIBR Scorecard.
SIBR data is also provided to allied health managers and executives to track performance of the unit and teams through leadership dashboards and analytics: daily, weekly and quarterly performance reports and unit level dashboards and team performance.
