Nursing Annual Report 2011 - 2012
Right Care. Right Now. Right Here.
It’s my pleasure to be able to
share with you our first nursing annual
report. This report shines a light on
the essential work of our nurses at The
Children’s Medical Center of
Dayton. This report highlights
the depth – and breadth – of
the professional practice of
nursing exemplified each
and every day for our
region’s children.

Transformational Leadership
Strategic planning, advocacy and influence,
visibility, accessibility and communication
Our nurses at Dayton Children’s reflect the organization’s
commitment to be the first choice for children’s health by
providing high-quality care for the children and families we
serve. In this annual report, you’ll learn that professional
nursing care at Dayton Children’s is driven by our mission to
improve the health status of all children.
You will witness how professional nursing at Dayton Children’s
is practiced. Our professional practice model is built on
Synergy, which matches nurse competencies and patient
needs. Our nursing philosophy is designed to provide familycentered care that aligns with our SPIRIT standards and our
culture of safety to produce the best patient outcomes.
You will also see how we use evidence-based practice and
collaborate with other children’s hospitals to improve safety
and advance the quality of care.
This past year, we continued our journey toward Magnet
designation. Awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing
Center (ANCC), Magnet designation is given to those
organizations that demonstrate high-quality patient care,
nursing excellence and innovation. It’s the gold standard for
nursing practice! We plan to submit our documentation to
ANCC in February 2013. Our documents will showcase our
strong interdisciplinary relationships and excellence in nursing
care. Should we be successful in having our documents
accepted, we will have a site visit in the fall of 2013.

Nursing initiates a strategic plan
Last year, Nursing Leadership began the process of developing
its first strategic plan, setting the course for nursing at Dayton
Children’s. Four strategies were identified that align with the
strategic focus of the hospital’s 2015 strategic plan.

The Joint Commission
In 2012, Dayton Children’s successfully
completed an unannounced survey by The Joint
Commission. Surveyors identified the daily safety
briefing as a very strong asset to the care of our
patients. The patient callback system in the
emergency department was also identified as a
“best practice,” and the surveyors encouraged
us to share it with others. Success with The Joint
Commission survey is always a testament to
quality care and a collaborative environment
among all disciplines.

Trauma nurse leader program:
Equipping nurses to be leaders
Dayton Children’s began its trauma nurse leader program in 2011.
This program is designed to develop nurse leaders who direct the
care of critically-ill children.
A number of emergency staff nurses have completed the oneyear trauma nurse leader internship, providing them with the
opportunity to develop leadership skills. Over the course of
their internship, they not only assume a leadership role in the
trauma room, but assume responsibility for evaluating process
improvements, making recommendations for change and
evaluating the results of these changes in practice. This group has
become a respected and valuable asset at Dayton Children’s.

Her position is critical to ensuring premature
and critically-ill neonates receive the benefits
of breast milk from their mother or our
milk donor program.
Nursing partners with
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
Dayton Children’s nursing division is proud to assist Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
with its combat readiness program. This program provides the opportunity for WrightPatterson nurses who are preparing for deployment to gain valuable experience in the care
of critically-injured children. In 2012, Dayton Children’s developed the Partners in Practice
program with Wright-Patterson to enable its nurses to refresh their pediatric clinical
skills. Working together with our community partners helps strengthen the skills of the
professional nursing staff of both organizations.
Preparing the next generation
for tomorrow’s patients
Each year, Dayton Children’s hosts approximately 900 nursing
students from undergraduate to doctoral students. Students come
from across the state, gaining valuable clinical experience in
pediatrics. Students are placed in inpatient units, ambulatory
clinics, surgery and the emergency department.
Students come from the following Ohio universities and colleges:

Shared Governance leads to
high satisfaction — for nurses
and patients
Shared Governance provides nurses at every level within the
organization an opportunity to be part of the decisionmaking about nursing through partnership, participation,
ownership, authority and accountability.
These councils promote the feeling that individual nurses
have a personal stake in the organization and patient care,
which increases employee satisfaction, improves the quality
of health care and leads to greater patient satisfaction. Each
of the Shared Governance councils are chaired by a staff
nurse and co-led with a nurse leader mentor.

Aligning nurse competencies to patient needs
Dayton Children’s professional practice model is called Synergy. The
nursing professional practice model competencies include: advocacy/
moral agency, caring practice, collaboration, systems thinking, response to
diversity, facilitation of learning, clinical inquiry and clinical judgment.
By utilizing nurses’ competencies matched with patients’ needs, we enhance
patient outcomes. To visually represent the model, Nursing Leadership
created a graphic – the flower pot – which shows how the model is based on
the foundation of the hospital’s mission and vision, and represents growth,
rooted in a culture of safety and SPIRIT standards, encircled in familycentered care.

Staffing for today and tomorrow
Nurse leaders work together to trend data to formulate a staffing plan. This
helps ensure we have the right staff, at the right time, delivering the right
care to our patients. The plan uses projected patient volumes, nursing
standards and our staff’s competencies. The staffing committee is formed
based on the principles of House Bill 346.
The staffing committee makes recommendations to the chief nurse
executive as part of the budget planning process. Participation in the
staffing plan gives nurses the opportunity to be influential in driving
strategies for more effective patient care.

Rounding for optimal outcomes
The comprehensive family-centered rounding
teams include physicians, pediatric nurse
practitioners, staff nurses, residents, specialists,
medical students and family members with the
goal of including the family in the decisionmaking process. Family-centered rounds have
been successful in our newborn intensive care,
intermediate care and pediatric intensive care
units, as well as the hematology/oncology unit.
In the fall of 2011, this model was implemented
on our general inpatient floors, three east and
three west.
The new rounding process in general pediatrics enhances the
partnership of the family, nurses, physicians and other care team
members. Including parents in the rounding process is more than
just a courtesy — parents provide an important voice in their child’s
care. With all inpatient units now fully participating in family-centered
rounds, we’ve seen improvements in patient satisfaction scores across
key questions relating to communication and family involvement.

Recognition for the emergency
department post-discharge
outreach program
The Dayton Children’s Emergency Outreach Nurse Program won first
place in “Patient-Centered Care” at the First Annual National Nursing
Patient Safety Awards Program at Georgetown University Hospital,
Washington, D.C. in the summer of 2011. Through this program,
outreach nurses call patients perceived to be at high risk, such as
patients who left without being seen, patients who may not follow
discharge instructions or patients who have a positive lab finding
after discharge.
A post-discharge phone call allows a registered nurse to reinforce
discharge instructions, answer questions, arrange for follow-up
appointments for testing or identify if a patient needs to return to the
emergency department. Last year, more than 16,000 calls were made
through the outreach program.
