DEVELOPMENT OF A WEB-BASED PRECEPTOR ORIENTATION AND CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Preceptor Toolkit
A Health Information Technology Scholar Program Project Advancing Health Information Technologies Through Faculty Empowerment HITS: Faculty Development: Integrated Technology into Nursing Education & Practice Initiative is supported by a HRSA grant to The University of Kansas School of Nursing, University of Colorado Denver, Johns Hopkins University, and Indiana University, and National League for Nursing (NLN)
Project Team Cheryl Holly, EdD, RN Professor and Chair Capacity Building Systems Co-Director, Northeast Institute for Evidence Synthesis and Translation, A Collaborating Center of the Joanna Briggs Institute for Nursing and Midwifery Rosario P. Estrada, DNP, RN, BC, CPN Assistant Professor/Track Coordinator MSN Nursing Informatics Program University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ School of Nursing Newark, New Jersey University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ School of Nursing Newark, New Jersey Project Mentor: Dr. Maryanne Rizzolo, NLN
Our Purpose The objective of this project is to develop an easy to use e-learning space for preceptor orientation and continued development in the preceptor role.
Environment for the Project Type of programs Baccalaureate (BSN), Master's (MSN), Post-Master's Certificate (PMC), Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Preceptors
Preceptor a preceptor is a skilled practitioner who supervises students in a clinical setting to allow practical experience with patients A preceptor is a teacher responsible to uphold a certain law or tradition, a precept.
Varied Roles Facilitate student learning through clinical instruction, guidance, direct observation, and feedback Facilitate and/or assess the student s use of clinical inquiry and clinical reasoning in planning for and providing clinical care Assess and promote the student s development and use of evidence-based practice
Varied Roles Actively engage in providing regular feedback to the Clinical Faculty about student performance Collaborate with Clinical Faculty or Clinical Resource in assigning learning activities across the continuum of care Support development of the student s understanding of the role,, system of care delivery, procedures, and client population
Essentially Facilitators Assessors Collaborators Coaches Mentors
Goals Project Goals Accomplishments during the 1 st year Continued development in the preceptor role is conceptualized: * Convene a technical advisory panel consisting of faculty & active preceptors * Develop an interactive website for preceptor orientation * Offer a required a six hour certificate web-based orientation module * Create a space to continue to learn the intricacies of best practice in clinical teaching * Convene a technical advisory panel consisting of faculty & active preceptors *Assess/Plan/Implemen t web-based Preceptor orientation program * Develop a database of preceptors * Development of the interactive Preceptors Toolkit website * Recognize Preceptors * Dev 6-hr Web-based preceptor orientation module * Pilot this project by the 2 nd yr * Eval effectiveness/outcome of Preceptor Orient program * Use of discussion boards/journal discussion on clinical teaching strategies Utilize library resources for locating evidence collaboration/sharing of peer to peer preceptor learning.
Strategies Engage in active experiential learning Facilitate selfreflection on the preceptor role Evaluate/ ensure continuous improvement/v alue/effectiven ess of the preceptor program

To address these suggestions June Appreciation Day Keynote Speaker First online development module Neurologist 1 st year goal 4: Begin development of the interactive Preceptors Toolkit website Coaching and Mentoring
Second Year Goals -In progress Recognize Preceptors for their work (Preceptor Appreciation Day in June, 2013) Find a key note speaker for the #1 suggested development activity: Neurology Launching the Preceptor Website
First Module Objectives At the end of this module, you will be able to: Differentiate between mentoring and coaching Explain the role of a mentor and a coach Learn how to create a safe learning environment for coaching
First Module Coach Mentor Focus Task Individual Role Director Facilitator Relationship Short term Long term Outcome Performance Affirmation
TeamSTEPPS
Second Year Goals-In progress 2 Clean up the Preceptor Database to those who are active preceptors Evaluate the online modules with the Advisory Committee Plan for next modules: Making assignments for critical thinking/decision making Providing feedback Competency/skill assessment
