Abstract

Abstract : Nurses consistently express dissatisfaction with the overwhelming amount and rate of change in health care today. Nurse educators identified this as a problem at a 475-bed hospital and developed a process to present changes in information in a new and exciting method. This article reports on the identification and implementation of the new communication model and the lessons learned during the process. A new method for communication dissemination was designed utilizing a "Coordinator Information Advisory Group" concept.
