The Platform for Unit Leaders
Online Learning
Unit Leaders can quickly orient new staff to unit care processes with brief “what to do and why” videos and quizzes. Our online learning is concise, high quality, on-demand and fully trackable.
Skills Verification
Gain confidence in the skill sets of your staff with electronic skills assessments. Conduct real-time, impartial, stakeholder specific skills assessments with a web-app on any device to provide private, objective feedback on high-performance behaviors for Nurses First Bedside Handover and SIBR.
Tracking & Reporting
Track nursing mood and stress levels, or SIBR® rounds performance data every day. Ensure staff are trained and certified with ease. Identify and mitigate issues in team rounds with daily, weekly and quarterly SIBR rounds performance reports for the unit, individual scorecards and dashboards.
Quantity + quality = excellence.
STEP ONE: Online Training Modules
The 1Unit Platform streamlines and standardizes the introductory portion of Nurses First and SIBR training.
It takes just 20-25 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.
The learning management functionality makes it easy to track progress of each participating individual and unit.
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 since 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
The Platform enables charge nurses to digitize the key change of shift huddle data so that leaders gain visibility into the unit’s nursing team: busyness, mood, resource intensive patients, barriers to progress.
Charge nurses, or admins, can also report daily SIBR quantity and quality. This data provides insights to managers and executives to track performance of each individual and unit through leadership dashboards and analytics. It also acts as an accountability tool to ensure the team are performing SIBR at a high-quality for a sufficient quantity of patients each day.
The data feeds daily, weekly and quarterly performance reports, individual SIBR scorecards for doctors and allied health staff, and unit level dashboards on team performance.
Data Collection
We’ll teach charge nurses how to:
-Record change of shift huddle data so that it can be tracked over time and provide insights for leaders
-Capture daily data to help you track SIBR Quantity and SIBR Quality.
Data Entry
After the SIBR round has finished, the SIBR Flight Plan manager can easily enter the key data into the software on their cell phone or hand the completed form to a unit clerk for entry. Recorded data then feeds into daily, weekly and quarterly performance reports and the SIBR Dashboard for the unit leaders.
