"Essential Americans": a poster session for essential education.
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations requires that all member hospitals provide information to the nursing staff on safety practices at least every other a year. Hospital policy requires that this information be provided once yearly. The Staff Education Department at a large teaching hospital used posters to disseminate this required information, known as "Essential Education." The posters, which matched topic areas with famous Americans, presented the necessary content in a clear, concise manner. The nursing staff found the posters to be less time-consuming and more interesting than previous essential education programs. A cost analysis demonstrated a significant savings for the hospital.
