Building connections one ‘cloud’ at a time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nursing can, at times, feel like a series of tasks: administering medication, ensuring bed alarms are set, monitoring vitals, providing patient education.<\/p>\n

And aside from a diagnosis and care plan, nurses may not know much about their patients.<\/p>\n

Angie Benner, assistant nurse manager for inpatient oncology at Memorial Hospital Central, thought that needed to change.<\/p>\n

As part of a six-month UCHealth leadership program in which participants were tasked with developing process improvement projects, Benner decided to tackle a way to boost patient satisfaction and experience.<\/p>\n

Her idea? Create word clouds \u2013 a collection of words to describe a patient\u2019s interests, hobbies, accomplishments and personality \u2013 and display them in a patient\u2019s room, adjacent to their white board.<\/p>\n

The hope was that having a word cloud posted in a patient\u2019s room would more easily facilitate conversations around topics other than health care.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we build connections with people, it makes us more understanding to their situations and the emotions they are experiencing,\u201d Benner said. \u201cIt makes us better caregivers, as we\u2019re doing more than just nursing tasks. It\u2019s also helped patients feel like they are being cared for on a more personal level.\u201d<\/p>\n

The word cloud activity is strictly voluntary, but most patients have loved the idea, Benner said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes patients are reluctant to open up and talk. The word clouds are conversation-starters; we can get to know patients on a different level, and they enjoy the interaction, as do we.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had one patient who was transferred to another unit; he realized his word cloud hadn\u2019t made the move with him, and he asked his nurse to please get it. He wanted his word cloud to go with him on his hospital journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because every patient\u2019s word cloud is different, it\u2019s been interesting for the nursing team \u2013 along with other hospital staff \u2013 to learn about each person individually, be it their favorite foods, their pets, their jobs, where they grew up.\"A<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been fun for the staff, and a great experience for patients. Some are surprised you want to learn that about them. It\u2019s been fulfilling for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michelle Ferguson, oncology nurse manager, said the project has had a powerful impact throughout the unit \u2013 not just on patients, but on staff, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatients report the word clouds provide a sense of being \u2013 the sense they exist beyond their diagnosis,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd each oncology team member also has a word cloud, and the project has also created greater connection and stronger bonds among them, which has improved team culture, feelings of inclusion and engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s word clouds are displayed on a bulletin board on the 7th<\/sup> floor unit, and staff have enjoyed learning more about their colleagues. Who knew Lance could juggle while riding a unicycle, that Betty has climbed 30-some 14ers or that Lindsay volunteers for a dog rescue?<\/p>\n

As for Benner, some might not know she loves running and hiking, has two sons, loves coffee and is from Minnesota \u2013 all topics you can ask her about next time you see her around the hospital. That connection might make your day \u2013 and hers \u2013 a lot more fulfilling.<\/p>\n
