"AONE members at these 68 hospitals are leading their staff in the journey of transformation that will ultimately result in improved patient care and nurse leadership at the bedside," said Linda Q. Everett, PhD, RN, CNAA, BC, FAAN, president of AONE. "We are extremely proud of these hospitals who have committed to join AONE and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in our TCAB dissemination project."
TCAB is a national program designed to improve the quality and safety of patient care on medical and surgical units, to increase the vitality and retention of nurses and to improve the effectiveness of the entire care team. Participating hospitals will be taught the basic TCAB principles of the TCAB innovation process with a focus on nurse managers and team training. The program engages nurses to develop interventions and design new processes that improve care and lead to better staff morale. AONE will disseminate a set of practical, easy-to-use tools to help hospitals redesign delivery of care processes to improve patient care.
"We are excited about the hospitals that have been selected to participate in TCAB through AONE’s leadership," said Susan Hassmiller, PhD, RN, FAAN, senior program officer at RWJF. "These additional sites will continue the spread of interventions that ensure quality patient care."
