This process is contingent on the clinicians tending to perceive the whiteboard and the coordinating nurse as a unit in the sense that they frequently update the whiteboard by informing the coordinating nurse about the change and, similarly, consider making a change on the whiteboard the same as having informed the coordinating nurse.
Throughout the entire study, the coordinating nurse acted as a study monitor, guiding each patient through the study and providing standardized information.
Subsequently, during a period of 3 months, the admitting physician and coordinating nurse were asked to fill in a survey covering the 4 domains of teamwork (Leadership, communication, stress and situational awareness) on all acute admissions in the ICU.
Our screening service is organized with a coordinating "osteoporosis nurse" and has been in existence since 2002.
