Abstract :

Introduction: I developed up a 5 step system to empower nurses called GIFTS which is an acronym. When nurses use their GIFTS, they are able to speak their mind, stand in their power and be a change agent to improve patient care all while legally protecting their license Purpose: The purpose of this program is to teach nurses how to use the GIFTS system so they can create a better work environment and increase their satisfaction which ultimately improves patient care. Relevance/Significance: The GIFTS system is a viable solution that improves clinical care. It gives the nurse a decision making tool that will advance her practice, improve her satisfaction and improve patient care. Strategy and Implementation: The GIFTS system is an easily remembered tool. Remember how SBAR changed how nurses communicate? The GIFTS system can do the same thing by giving nurses a context within which to practice. All their decisions and actions should be governed by the GIFTS. I have taught the GIFTS to thousand of nurses throughout the country by speaking, books, videos. Nurses love how easy it is to remember the system and the tools really have made a huge difference in their practice. Evaluation: The GIFTS improve nurses' satisfaction and ultimately patient care. The GIFTS system help nurses practice safely because the decisions that are made using the GIFTS guide excellent patient care. Implications for Practice: The use of the GIFTS allows nurses to speak their mind in a positive solution based way, stand in their power and be a change agent to improve patient care.
