What factors contribute to Omaha System success?
Each user site has a unique set of circumstances with numerous driving and restraining forces. However, unwavering management support, a sense of teamwork, the presence of a champion(s), and commitment to evaluation and maintenance are four of the most important contributing factors. Strong leaders contribute to success. It is ideal if at least one person becomes a “superstar”, is passionate about the Omaha System, and understands the site’s vision for practice, documentation, and information management. Managers and champions need to maintain the vision, develop a quality improvement action plan, and facilitate the use of data and information.
