"I am very thankful to have been a co-author for an outstanding Quality Improvement (QI) project that was recently featured at the 2024 National Teaching Institute & Critical Care Exposition (NTI) from the AACN. ‘VICTory in the Pediatric ICU (Vasoactive Infusion Improvements in Critical Care Titrations)’ highlighted a QI project that redesigned vasoactive infusion orders that lead to increased titration compliance based on The Joint Commission standards. It is such an honor to be surrounded by colleagues that recognize the importance of improving the quality of the care we deliver, as well as disseminating the information to assist others in delivering high quality care." - Joshua Lock, BSN, RN, CCRN-P via LinkedIn #Repost

Discover how CTICU nurses decreased unit turnover 30%. Establishing an ongoing “meaningful recognition” program – involving both staff and leaders – increased morale and nurse engagement, resulting in improved nurse retention and nursing quality indicators (falls, CAUTI and CLABSI). The nurses’ initiative also saved their hospital an estimated $212K annually.
