Using Consistent Education Strategies to Implement a Process Change for Clinically Significant Cardiopulmonary Events

Abstract 

Education of a quality and process improvement project to a large level III neonatal intensive care unit staff can be an overwhelming task. The following article addresses this issue by presenting the steps of an education plan in a clear, concise manner. The notion of using key trainers to expedite the training time, individualized education packets for consistency, and a digital versatile disc for independent learning is discussed for the implementation of the ideal process change for clinically significant cardiopulmonary events in our neonatal intensive care unit.
