How do I let the staff know about the study and ensure their cooperation?
Memos with the date, time and what the teams will be doing and what they wont be doing (assessing patients, removing dressings, but not replacing them, and not cleaning incontinent patients) should be sent out to the staff, physicians, administration, physical therapy and anyone involved with patient care prior to the study date. Posters, newsletters and staff meetings are also good ways to reinforce the information about the study.
