Involving Nursing Decisions in Renovation
Technical Practices Coordinating Committee Kay Stodd, chairman Pauline Goske Brenda S. Gregory June E. Ricards, staff consultant
Input from the nurse executive is vital when renovating a department or facility, according to the January issue of Aspen’s Advisor for Nurse Executives. When working with the architect or other members of the design team, the nurse executive needs to tell them specific information, such as how much storage area will be necessary and where patient charts will be kept. The nurse executive needs to make the architect aware of special needs when specialty units are being created or modified. For example, if open relationships between patients and nurses will be encouraged on a psychiatric unit, the design and placement of nursing stations will have to reflect that. In addition to the placement of equipment, the nurse executive should ensure that the plans allow space for the flow of staff. This requires that the executive be up to date on projected equipment purchases and increases or decreases in staff, according to the article. Nurse executives should encourage feedback from key nurses and nursing supervisors. According to the article, the nurse executive should stay informed about the progress of the renovations, especially during three phases: (1) the initial design phase, (2) every one to three months during the work period, and (3) when the space has been laid out. Nurse executives are encouraged to visit sites where similar renovations are being done to compare and analyze space needs. When assuming a position where renovation is already in progress, the nurse executive should examine the history of the project, get an understanding of why decisions were made, and balance ideas for changes in the plan against the cost, according to the article.
