Job Aid

Problem

At Woodland Medical Center, the conceptual client, patient falls persist because of ineffective implementation of fall prevention protocols. Despite understanding the seriousness of the issue, poor staff training and limited resources hinder successful execution.

Consequently, patient safety suffers, increasing hospital costs and worsening patient outcomes. New nurses are key to preventing falls but face challenges in doing their jobs effectively.

Solution

At the beginning of the process, I observed that new nurses needed a job aid to follow the post-fall protocol after completing scenario-based eLearning. To address this need, I designed a clear, user-friendly guide using Canva. Posting this guide in a highly visible area ensures that many new nurses can easily reference it.
