Abstract:
To nurses who are doing the actual hands-on work on shifts, the daily conference is indispensable for sharing information among them, working as a united body and addressing the problems of patients accurately. Up until some years ago, however, the conference in our ward had been somehow devoid of continuity and substance. So, by the use of a crosswise chart (a radar chart?), analyses were made to find out what was wrong and what the staff thought about the conference, and an effective approach to making the conference fruitful was sough. A new set of rules were laid down, which resulted in helping the conference become animated. A check of nurses' logs showed a great deal of improvement in terms of the inspector's scores.
