Amplifire reduces misinformation and onboarding time for new nurses.
- Reduced misinformation
- Reduced on-boarding orientation time by over 25%
- Decreased cost of orientation
- Lowered insurance premiums
One of the largest Integrated Delivery Networks (IDN) in the U.S.[1] was struggling with on-boarding nurses, errors, and liability.
Orientation was extremely time consuming and estimated costs to train a nurse, including the expense associated with turnover, exceeded $15,000. Making matters worse, training required nurse mentors to teach and verify the skills of new hires, while at the same time caring for a full load of patients. This “on-the-job” method of teaching and validating knowledge led to the dissemination of inconsistent knowledge and misinformation.
The client needed to:
- Reduce the time to competency during nurse orientation.
- Facilitate a process that clearly identified issues.
- Balance requirements with rapid learning and user friendliness.
- Demonstrate improved clinical outcomes.
- Create an emotional connection to competency development
Amplifire reduced on-boarding orientation for new hires by more than 25% and had the additional benefit of reducing risk insurance premiums when its insurer found a significantly less exposure to employee errors and legal costs.
