Caregiver Perceptions of a Tracheostomy "Go-Bag" Standardization Initiative.

Introduction: This project aimed to standardize and improve the emergency tracheostomy "go-bag" provided by our institution and to increase "go-bag" compliance, supply organization, and emergency preparedness and confidence among caregivers of tracheostomy-dependent children.

Method: We provided caregivers with a new trifold "go-bag," containing four zippered pockets. Diagram-based supply checklists were placed in each "go-bag" to assist with supply organization and supply checks performed by the clinical team.

Design and Implementation of a Face-to-Face Peer Feedback Program for Ambulatory Nursing.

Background/purpose: Ongoing dissatisfaction with anonymous peer feedback led to problem solving to equip nurses to provide and receive respectful and meaningful feedback during face-to-face peer review.

Problem: Giving and receiving feedback about other's performance and collaboration are a vital aspect of teambuilding; yet, no programmatic training existed to prepare and equip nurses to feel confident and comfortable in providing or receiving face-to-face peer feedback. A search of the literature demonstrated a dearth of evidence related to developing these teambuilding relationships.
