NURSE MANAGERS
Action Needed: Please have all of your Super-Trainers (STs) and End Users (EUs) enroll in the CareFusion Alaris Pump with Guardrails CBL. After completing the CBL, staff members need to print off the completion certificate. This certificate will be required for admittance into the IV pump training classes. Only those staff members who have been identified as unit STs can now enroll themselves in the IV pump Super-Trainer classes; the scheduled classes appear in NetLearning as noted above. Those staff members who have not been designated as STs can now enroll themselves in the IV pump End User classes; the scheduled classes appear in NetLearning as noted above. Training Requirement: To ensure the safety of our patients all infusion pump users will be required to complete the CBL module, receive formal hands-on training, and demonstrate competency to a unit Super-Trainer prior to using the devices. The unit Super-Trainers will be validating staff competency using a Competency Validation Record (CVR). The project team will be monitoring training completion rates and reporting to Unit Based Leadership April 26th (Go-Live) Preparation for Nurse Managers: It is highly recommended that you schedule your STs to work during the day of Go-Live without a patient assignment. Disruption to patient care will be minimized if you have STs available on Go-Live day to assist the conversion team with device change over on your unit.
