Staff Support
Giving Clinicians the Tools and Training to Succeed
At Premier, we’ve built a clinician educational and support system that gives our emergency department staff the resources they need to perform their jobs at the highest possible level. We focus on helping physicians, nurses and EMS personnel provide exceptional, consistent care.
Clinician Support through Collaboration
In medicine, the more you know, the better you can perform. Understanding this, we built an information-sharing system that extends from our nursing stations to our corporate offices. Our nursing leadership constantly collaborates and shares intelligence with our clinicians through emails and phone calls. Our staff also has the support of our corporate offices, who provide useful information that will lead to better job performance and patient outcomes.
Risk alerts are also shared. These short, two-page documents focus on specific areas such as codes, and strokes, and are packed with valuable information that is beneficial to the staff at large.
Clinician Support through Education
Premier is committed to the continued growth of our clinicians through ongoing educational programs. Each year, Premier medical directors select nursing leaders to attend the Emergency Nursing Association (ENA) Conference, all expenses paid. Attendees not only earn CEU’s, but are also able to share the knowledge they’ve gained with all staff members through our network of nursing leaders.
In another clinician support program, physicians and physician assistants are able to earn CEU’s online. In 2012, this same service will be available to our nursing staff.
