Lesson Plan for Education program

Identification of the educational need and rationale

In order to prepare good nurses, a well integrated and effectively coordinated educational plan is the need of time. It is important to note that educational plans are devised on a holistic or macro level, but success is only achieved when a macro plan is followed by micro planning and execution.

The significance of this lesson plan can be attributed to the need of technical education for nurses working at Kettering Health Network. It was observed that in spite of the name that Kettering Health Network has established for itself, there are quality issues in the nursing department. There were various complaints filed in this regard. The data revealed that both management and the bedside general nurses themselves realized that there was a need for the implementation of bedside electronic medical record. This will improve the quality of care. In addition, this should be coupled with Personal Computer Clinical Care. This will help in the charting of patient care plans.

Goals and learner outcomes for the lesson

The purpose of this lesson plan is to provide technical education regarding General Nursing care at bedside utilizing computerized charting. This lesson plan is aimed to offer knowledge and education regarding the use of Bedside Electronic Medical Record, to the nurses working at Kettering Health Network.

Following are the learning outcomes of the lesson:

Nurses at will understand the necessity for the up gradation and use of Bedside Electronic Medical Record in the hospital. Students will see the need for multiple methods of presenting the same information and how different people understand things different ways.
