Unity targeted coaching programme: week four – documenting admission safety assessment

August 3, 2018

On Monday 6 August, week four of the new Unity targeted coaching programme gets underway with the theme being documenting admission safety assessment.

The clinical informatics team will be out and about meeting colleagues across our sites and delivering short five minute one-to-one micro-coaching sessions to ensure that our clinical colleagues are prepared for when Unity goes live later this year.

These sessions are receiving a lot of positive feedback with many colleagues saying the coaching is providing reassurance that using Unity is easier than first thought. Since starting the coaching programme on 16 July, the clinical informatics team have  delivered coaching to over 370 colleagues.

The coaching programme will run for 15 weeks in total. It is critical to stress that this is not a training programme and is not a replacement for the formal end user training which is a requirement for all colleagues (including those that have already undertaken digital champion and/or early adopter training).

The clinical informatics team will endeavour to avoid causing any disruption to ward routines and have written to ward managers to allow team members the time to participate in these sessions and start to get familiar with Unity.
