Online Scheduling successes* More than 1,900 new patient appointments scheduled online. More than 500 existing patient appointments scheduled online. *As of Jan. 12, 2022

As we continue our journey to become the system of choice, we have outlined a two-year ministry-wide digital strategy to further improve patient access and care coordination.

We recently kicked off our digital strategy work with the roll-out of Patient Online Scheduling – a quick and easy appointment scheduling tool that both new and existing patients can access via Centura.org and their provider’s profile.

Patient Online Scheduling
In October, we rolled out Patient Online Scheduling at 10 Centura Health Physician Group (CHPG) primary care pilot clinics. Following the successful pilot launch, Online Scheduling expanded to 46 additional CHPG primary care clinics in November.

Online Scheduling makes it easier for patients to connect with a provider and schedule their appointment in less than three minutes. Scheduling online also begins a continuum of online service to complement and support future patient care. For our incredible caregivers, this new feature will help reduce the amount of administrative work in our CHPG clinics. Visit our website to view the functionality.

Next steps
Over the coming months, we will continue to monitor Online Scheduling activity and plan to expand the feature to specialty clinics and eventually across our ministry.

Thank you for your continued support in our digital efforts to further improve the incredible care we provide our patients!

We are excited to kick off this new year with a new tool for you, our incredible nurses. Our all-new Nursing Resource Site on SharePoint will serve as your primary resource for nursing information, events and access to resources such as the new RN Clinical Ladder program and upcoming links to relevant pages such as the Evidence Based Practice Team resource page. Please note, as with all SharePoint sites, you must be connected to the Centura network to access our Nursing Resource Site.

Available right now in the RN Clinical Ladder page on our Nursing Resource Site is the 2022 RN Clinical Ladder Program Resource Handbook! This handbook outlines the program rules, qualifications and next steps toward your journey on the clinical ladder. There are also some associated forms on the page that will support you throughout the year as you continue your contributions. This program is a direct result of the feedback you shared in our 2021 Focus on Action sessions, Associate Engagement survey, and in our rounding with associates at the bedside (or clinic side). Our goals are to recognize and retain direct patient care nurses in the clinic, outpatient and inpatient settings.

The Handbook outlines who qualifies for the RN Clinical Ladder, and your leader will also have a list of specific roles approved to participate for this year. No application or action is needed from you at this time. All activities counted in the clinical ladder will occur between Jan. 1, 2022 and Dec. 31, 2022. Portfolios will be due Jan. 23, 2023 by 4 p.m.

We will continue to enhance the resources on this site. Coming soon: a link to a recording of the town halls for the introduction of the RN Clinical Ladder program, FAQ document and more supportive documents and forms. We will also build additional sections for shared governance support, various nursing activities and professional development opportunities!

Ultimately, our vision is that Nursing Resource Site will serve as the central hub for you to learn more about what is going on in nursing across Centura Health, how you can be involved and how we are enabling excellence across our nursing ecosystem. We appreciate your patience and feedback as we expand and develop this page so you receive maximum benefit from all we are creating!
