"Having a platform where we can go in and see this [evidence-based practice project] is what's really making an impact on this clinical outcome, let's go ahead and implement it everywhere [enables us] to positively affect those infection rates across our entire organization, which helps everybody in the long run. It helps us achieve our KPIs and helps our patients have better outcomes."
Barbra Turner
Director of Nursing Practice and Education, Bon Secours Mercy Health
"We have the ability to see at a glance how many nurses are leveling, applying, which nurses have BSNs, certifications, et cetera using the ePortfolio and resume functions within StaffGarden. This data is useful for Magnet reporting since we’re able to show an increase in BSNs, certifications, and points to encourage nurses to fulfill Magnet criteria right on the webpage."
