Just-in-Time Training for High-Risk Low-Volume Therapies

Abstract

High-risk low-volume therapies are those therapies that are practiced infrequently and yet carry an increased risk to patients because of their complexity. Staff nurses are required to competently manage these therapies to treat patients' unique needs and optimize outcomes; however, maintaining competence is challenging. This article describes implementation of Just-in-Time Training, which requires validation of minimum competency of bedside nurses managing high-risk low-volume therapies through direct observation of a return-demonstration competency checklist.

Improving the Performance of Anthropometry Measurements in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

“… 23 – 26 This methodology has also been utilized to enhance nursing and resident education and system-wide QI education to improve retention and engagement. 27 – 30 The use of this methodology in our project may have contributed to the performance improvements with anthropometry measurements in the PICU.…”

Meningomyelocele Simulation Model: Pre-surgical Management–Technical Report

“…It also can be employed to focus on teamwork and communication by allowing an analysis of team behaviors. The scenario can be employed as just-in-time training for teams when a meningomyelocele delivery is anticipated and practice is desired prior to the actual delivery [ 2 ].…”

Analysis of Student Perceptions of Just-In-Time Teaching Pedagogy in PharmD Microbiology and Immunology Courses

“…Similarly, JiT training strategy was found to markedly improve knowledge of nursing training staff that brought prior JiT training information to the bedside educational discussions (13). JiT training tool was used to validate minimum competency of bedside nursing staff managing high-risk low-volume therapies in order to ensure patient safety (14). A recent literature report also suggested that JiT active learning of evidence-based healthcare curricula created an opportunity for students to engage with facilitators and peers, enhance knowledge-based skills, and increase their chances of reinforcing and retaining their curricular knowledge (15).…”
