I had a chance to speak with the DON today where my change project was implemented. She said that she had been receiving great feedback from nurses and lab personnel. Everyone is feeling comfortable using the new needles now, and some even say they are easier to use than the old ones. I will continue to talk to staff and the DON over the next few months to see how things are going. It will be interesting to see the needlestick log book after this has been in place for a while to see if there have been a reduction of needlesticks throughout the year. I have already received feedback that needlesticks have been prevented, so I think that when I go back to review the information after several months, I should see good results. I am especially glad that everyone is getting use to the new needles and feel that they have made a difference. This is a change that will need to be monitored over time though to see the real results, but so far so good!
