For my strategy I will be using the outcome measurement to evaluate the effective of incorporating family’s during new nurse orientation.
We would develop a survey that would be handed out to families and newer nurses to the unit, this will evaluate what is the nurse’s preconceived notions or understanding of family centered care, this will also provide input from families as to what they deem important

    The Josie King Story was a very emotional, but an educational documentary. This grave injustice is a great educational tool because this avoidable event occurred in one of the nation's best hospitals. If this could occur at John Hopkins it could happen in any institution. Holistic care and the relationship-based model was not used when caring for this family. The new behavior warranted further investigation and it appears the concerns of the mother went unheard.…

One thing that did surprise me was the amount of detailed local information that can be gathered from Statistics…
