| Description |
The following Doctor of Nursing Practice dissertation explores the impacts of a standardized orientation program based on Lewin's thoery of change. |
| Abstract |
Orientation is required to meet regulatory accreditation standards for hospitals. To consistently meet the regulatory requirements, improve the learning experience of the new hire, consolidate resources of orientation facilitators, and streamline the process of transfers within a healthcare corporation, a standardized orientation program was implemented. Lewin's theory of change guided the discovery, implementation, and evaluation phases of this standardized orientation program. The success of the orientation process was evaluated for improvements in the following: increased regulatory compliance, new hire satisfaction, reduction in the number of budgeted hours for facilitation, and decrease in the number of days for onboarding new employees. |
