Mentor Accelerated Program (MAP)

What is MAP?

MAP is designed to fast-track the development of beginning practitioners by pairing them with experienced Clinical Mentors (CM). This mentorship approach ensures rapid acquisition of essential skills, knowledge, and understanding needed to excel in specific facilities.

Program Goals

The primary aim of MAP is to recruit and train individuals, integrating them as permanent staff members within the partnered facility. By evaluating candidates for their clinical skills and potential for long-term employability, we optimise the success and retention of new RNs.

Proven Success

Our program has been successfully implemented at two Darling Downs RACF facilities, resulting in the onboarding of two permanent RNs who have become competent and confident clinicians.

Steps to Success

1. Concept Socialisation with site Executive Directors
   • Endorsement from site Executive Directors underscores MAP’s potential to effectively address RN workforce deficits.
2. Operational Planning with Facilities
   • Tailoring MAP to meet specific needs of each facility.
   • Setting clear goals and success metrics.
   • Ensuring community involvement, especially in rural areas, to integrate staff members into local events.
3. Recruitment of Beginning Practitioners
   • Selecting candidates with strong clinical skills and potential for long-term employability.
   • Aligning with STATIM CM or site-appointed Clinical Facilitator.
4. Program Execution
   • Weekly reviews to monitor progress and gather feedback.
   • Continuous program improvement based on feedback.
   • STATIM’s ongoing engagement and support throughout the program.
5. Onboarding Registered Nurses
   • Streamlined onboarding process with complete documentation review.
   • Ensuring smooth transition for new RNs.

Expected Outcomes

MAP aims to replicate its initial successes by ensuring all participants become skilled, confident clinicians. The program’s effectiveness will be measured by:

• Competency in administrative and clinical skills.
• Feedback from practitioners, mentors, and senior leadership.
• Successful permanent onboarding at health or aged care facilities.

Cost and Benefits

MAP is a 12-week program, fully integrated with local operational stakeholders. Benefits include:

• Compressing the need for Nursing and Midwifery Orientation days.
• Immediate commencement of probationary period and familiarisation of clinician with facility
• Reducing preceptor dedication from facilities.
• Comprehensive support from STATIM in interviewing, onboarding, and practice observation.

Project Evaluation

Success will be measured through both qualitative and quantitative data, focusing on:

1. Enhanced clinical competence.
2. Improved communication and collaboration skills.
3. Enhanced critical thinking and decision-making abilities.
4. Ensuring patient and resident safety and quality care.
5. Contributing to rural facility recruitment and retention strategy.

By leveraging the learnings from our initial implementations and continuously refining our approach, STATIM is confident in enhancing the RN workforce pipeline at regional and rural sites, ultimately improving the quality of care provided.

Clinical Care Pathway Project (CCPP)

Background

As the aging population grows, RACFs face increasing pressure to provide quality care amidst fragmented processes, variations in practice, and rising costs. Developing Clinical Care Pathways offers a strategic solution to these challenges by standardising care delivery, enhancing coordination, and improving resident outcomes. This approach ensures clinical outcomes and accreditation standards are met while establishing resilient funding frameworks.

Proposal

STATIM proposes to collaborate with RACFs to develop customised Clinical Care Pathways tailored to their specific needs and resident populations. Our staged approach involves:

1. Scoping: Site selection, local scoping, and gap analysis to identify opportunities for Clinical Care Pathway support.
2. Prioritisation: Developing a prioritisation map to achieve compliance with key care documents and resident needs using a triaged methodology.
3. Execution: Implementing assessments and interventions based on the prioritisation step.
4. Education and Embedment: Creating "cheat sheets" for staff, using selective language to optimise clinical outcomes and funding models. Rolling out a strategic schedule for ongoing maintenance.
5. ROI Review: Demonstrating compliance with ACQSC standards and quantifying the revenue impact by resident class influence.

Strategic Fit

The development of Clinical Care Pathways aligns with RACFs' strategic objectives to improve care quality, enhance operational efficiency, and mitigate risks. By standardising processes and promoting resident-centered care, STATIM's proposal supports RACFs in achieving their long-term goals of delivering high-quality, cost-effective care.

Economic Case

Investing in a Clinical Care Pathway project offers significant economic benefits for RACFs, including:

1. Cost Containment: Standardising care practices and optimising resource utilisation to reduce hospitalisations, medication errors, and operational inefficiencies.
2. Revenue Enhancement: Protecting and enhancing revenue streams under value-based reimbursement models, ensuring clinical assessments reflect residents' actual statuses.
3. Efficiency Gains: Streamlining workflows and optimising staff time, resulting in operational efficiencies and resource reallocation.
4. Risk Reduction: Mitigating legal, regulatory, and clinical risks, reducing liability costs, and safeguarding financial stability and reputation.

People

STATIM's team consists of experienced healthcare professionals with expertise in aged care, ANACC funding models, clinical care pathways, quality improvement, and risk management. Our dedicated consultants will collaborate closely with RACF staff to ensure successful development and implementation of tailored Clinical Care Pathways.

Stakeholder Engagement

We recognise the importance of engaging key stakeholders, including residents, families, staff, and regulatory authorities, throughout the development and implementation process. By fostering open communication and collaboration, we ensure that Clinical Care Pathways reflect the needs and preferences of all stakeholders.

Conclusion

STATIM's proposal to develop Clinical Care Pathways for RACFs offers a strategic solution to enhance clinical outcomes, drive financial sustainability, and mitigate risks. By standardising care practices, optimising resource utilisation, and promoting resident-centered care, RACFs can achieve operational excellence and deliver high-quality care that meets the evolving needs of their residents. Investing in Clinical Care Pathways developed by STATIM is a prudent business decision and a commitment to excellence in care delivery and stakeholder satisfaction.
