At that wedding, Ms. Sussman thought she recognized Mr. Oakman from a fellowship orientation program in Washington three years before.
Instead, the society has embarked on a $55 million, three-year renovation of its galleries, entrance and facade that will create a permanent main-floor exhibition hall showcasing some of its treasures, an interactive multimedia orientation program in its auditorium, an 85-seat cafe and a below-ground children's gallery and library, society officials said.
However, orienting the volunteers to the hospital and the program when they arrive on site has not been as efficient as it could be, as there is not a formal orientation program in place on the ground.
Only 16 (41%) of the 39 participating facilities reported an orientation program in KMC for new staff.
Further, both groups were asked whether an orientation program, in the form of a horizontal curriculum, was necessary for incoming IMGs.
While quality of care may be covered in orientation programs or other in-services, it is not given much time or weight in the current curriculum or continuing education programs for unregulated providers.
However, the orientation programs documented in the literature are mainly conducted by one nurse coordinator, rather than a multidisciplinary team [ 10, 33, 34].
Study findings revealed that health workers and health managers, particularly those who are around the site of events, are often the ones accessing orientation programs particularly in the case definition of specific disease.
Education on pressure injury risks, risk assessment and prevention strategies should be included in orientation programs and with ongoing education in the peri-operative setting.
