Summary
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago faced challenges in nursing professional development due to reliance on paper competency checklists, leading to inefficiencies in tracking and accreditation compliance. To resolve this, the hospital implemented a digital competency management system from Kahuna Workforce Solutions, improving the documentation process and facilitating better communication between new hires and preceptors. This transition has centralized and standardized competencies across various departments, enhancing the hospital's ability to monitor skill attainment effectively. The move to a digital platform underscores the importance of technology in enhancing training processes and compliance in healthcare settings.
