ORPCS and Collaborative Innovations
ORPCS and Residency Program
In 2019, 30 nurses graduated from the Stanford Nurse Residency Program. As part of their 1-year residency program, the nurse residents receive comprehensive training in Evidence Based Practice (EBP) and literature appraisal from ORPCS. The nurse residents are required to work in teams to evaluate a relevant EBP clinical topic. In 2019 the topics ranged from “Use of video translation services to improve patient satisfaction and patient safety” to “Use of acupressure to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting”.

Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA)
Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA): Maria Yefimova worked with an interdisciplinary team led by a bedside nurse to advance Stanford Health Care Emergency Department (ED) efforts to achieve geriatric ED accreditation. This required all ED nursing staff to be competent in identifying delirium in patients older than 65 years with knowledge of appropriate interventions to manage delirium. ORPCS assisted in project design, outcome measures, data management and geriatric content expertise. ED implementation is scheduled for Spring 2020.
ORPCS and
Staff Placement to the New Hospital
Nick Berte worked with a transdisciplinary team to digitize and administer the Staff Placement survey for the nursing staff transition from 300P to 500P. At the time of survey closure 99% of staff had responded; 87% of nurses were placed in their first preferred unit, while 9% were placed in their second preferred unit, and 2% received their third choice. Transformative executive nursing leadership in collaboration with nursing shared leadership facilitated the transition of large numbers of nurses into a new hospital optimizing personal preferences and a safe skill mix.
