| Abstract: |
Background: Daily huddles positively influence staff satisfaction and perception; standardization of a daily huddle should be prioritized to benefit from its effects. Aim: The aim of this project initiative was to implement an evidence-based, standardized daily huddle on an inpatient medical-surgical oncology unit. Implementation Plan: A searchable question was developed, and the identified literature was critically appraised and synthesized for evidence-based recommendations. The recommendations for the structure and content of a daily huddle were implemented using a standardized format. Outcomes: Pre-implementation and post-implementation staff perception and satisfaction surveys yielded positive results. Improvements in effective communication and staff satisfaction were identified. Implications for Practice: An effective daily huddle is essential for communicating pertinent information that can affect workflows and patient safety, as well as promoting teamwork and staff satisfaction. © 2023 Sigma Theta Tau International. |
