Master Planning

Comprehensive and strategic development of a detailed roadmap

Create a process that empowers your organization to succeed

Every hospital and department has an onboarding process for new colleagues. Turnover is not only a major cost to organizations but also a threat to the ability to deliver quality patient care. NTS offers a comprehensive review and process improvement of the orientation process. The objectives of a Master Plan is to empower the client to establish an Orientation Process that can lead to decreased turnover, decreased cost, colleagues who deliver better care and see greater career potential, and improved culture.

Master Planning Process:

A master plan is not just a fancy binder to sit on a shelf but should represent a process improvement. NTS can not only produce a document but also work with your team to implement and help scale the abilities of each member. Each project is unique and is mounted to meet the established objectives.

Assessment and Analysis

  • Gather information about the hospital's current nursing services, staffing levels, patient demographics, and care delivery models.
  • Analyze data to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to nursing operations.

Stakeholder Engagement

Collaborate with nursing leadership, administrators, clinical staff, and other relevant stakeholders to understand their perspectives, needs, and priorities.

Goal Setting

Define clear and measurable goals for nursing services that align with the hospital's overall strategic objectives.

Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to track progress and measure the success of the master plan.

Strategic Planning

Develop a strategic roadmap outlining the steps needed to achieve the established goals. The roadmap includes strategies to address identified weaknesses and capitalize on strengths, including enhancing nurse education, preceptor training, implementing evidence-based practices, and monitoring performance.

Program Development and Implementation

Design or refine existing nursing programs to align with the master plan's objectives:

  • Ensure that the programs are evidence-based and meet regulatory requirements.
  • Develop an implementation timeline and assign responsibilities to key stakeholders.
Education Content

Staff Training and Development

Develop training programs to equip nursing staff with the skills and knowledge to excel and contribute to the plan's success. This includes the training plan for new nurses and their preceptors. A well-trained preceptor will be prepared to guide the new nurse, handle challenging conversations, and help the nurse be trained for independent practice.

Preceptor Training

Performance Monitoring and Evaluation

Collect feedback from nursing staff, providers, and other stakeholders to assess the effectiveness of the initiatives and make necessary adjustments.

Empower preceptors and leaders to monitor the progress of individual learners and the effectiveness of their program via the web application Emergency Department Learning Center.

Orientation Tracking

Continuous Improvement

Empower your team to continuously evaluate the plan's outcomes and delivery of established KPIs.

Adapt the plan as needed to address evolving patient needs, regulatory changes, and advancements in healthcare practices.

Communication and Transparency

NTS will maintain open communication with all stakeholders to ensure alignment and transparency throughout the master planning process.

Once implemented, NTS will empower your team with tools to monitor return on investment (ROI) to look for future opportunities and strategies to make continuous improvements.

Developed by Clinical Staff

A master plan project is a significant undertaking. Each NTS Partner would participate in sharing their area of expertise and collaborating to help improve your orientation process.
