A TOH Librarian
Dedicated to Nurses
I
In November 2005, Lory Picheca joined The Ottawa Hospital
Library team as a librarian devoted to the information needs of
nurses. Her office is at the Civic Campus but she serves all TOH
nurses.
Library services for nurses include:
• Medical literature searches
• Database training (Medline, Cinahl, EBM research, etc.)
• Statistics gathering, fact checking and citation confirmations
• Table of Contents and other current awareness services
• Over 50 nursing journals
• Access to electronic resources from your home
(call the Library for details)
• Article reproduction and delivery to the location
of your choice
• Libraries located at the General and Civic
campuses
• Consumer Health Library at the Civic Campus
(D100A)
In 1990, Lory moved to Ottawa to attend Carleton
University’s Canadian Studies program. In 2002,
after working several years in federal libraries, she
completed her Masters in Library Science. Lory looks

“We have developed
a visibility plan for
next year.”
The summer is at our door already.
The last few months have been a
busy time for all of you and for the
nursing professional practice department at The Ottawa Hospital. We
have reviewed the accomplishments
of the last year and all Work Groups
and Committees are now planning
next year. Hundreds of nurses were
involved in deciding what should be
our next steps to enhance our professional practice environment.
The Corporate Nursing Clinical
Practice Committee (CNCPC) and
the Retreat of Directors, Managers,
Educators and Advanced Practice
Nurses have told us that even if your
satisfaction has increased by 14% for
the support we provide to you, we
still need to be more visible on the
units and services. So we have developed a visibility plan for next year.
We have also developed a plan that
will look at the nurses satisfaction
survey completed last year part of
the Employee and Physician Satisfaction Survey. In collaboration with the
ONA Executive, we have developed a
plan to address some issues that had
the lowest satisfaction scores such as
feedback on performance, recognition for great work and educational
support.
You will also be aware during the
summer months that we have been
successful at getting additional funding from the Nursing Secretariat of
MOHTLC for $1.9 million that will
allow us to employ more graduates
and provide some time for late career
nurses to contribute to projects and
support new graduates. TOH was also
designated an RNAO Best Practice
Spotlight Organization and for the
next three years, we will be able to
provide support to you as we implement additional best nursing practices in our Academic Health Science
Centre.
The summer months are always
busy at TOH but many of you will be
able to take some rest and relaxing
time. I wish you and your family a
great summer holiday.
Professionally yours,

survey was conducted. There were 29 responses,
up from 23 in 2003. There were 59 recommendations made by nurses at TOH, all falling within the
CNAC report. 64.4% are completed. The top recommendations from the 2005 survey were: Education,
Scheduling, Workload, Recognition Culture, Vacation,
Non-Nursing Tasks and Parking. A presentation was shown

The Impossible… Happens
A Story of Work Accommodation
H
Have you ever wrapped your dominant thumb with tape and couldn’t
bend it nor feel someone touch it? As
a nurse, I thought accidents at work
happened to other people. Then one
day, while moving a patient, I crushed
my right thumb. I am right-handed.
After reporting this to my team leader,
I went to the emergency room, incident report in hand, expecting to get
stitched up and go back to work.
My hand was bandaged and instead
of being able to get back to my
patients, I received a work accommodation slip. At Occupational Health
and Safety Services, I learned that I
could not go back to work and that I
would need occupational therapy.
What is work accommodation? It
is what employers/WSIB do to get
you back to work early but let you
heal in the meantime. Without missing work, my tasks were adjusted to
my capabilities.
I was lucky that my manager cared
enough to give me challenges and
helped me realize that I could be a
nurse away from the bedside too.
My last visit with the plastic surgeon determined that I had reached
maximum recovery. At that time,
WSIB placed permanent restrictions
on my work. A meeting with Occupational Health, my manager and a
union representative confirmed that
the future was up to me. Even if I had
to follow WSIB rules, the initiative
to make the situation successful had
to come from me. I saw an Employee
Assistance Program counselor, which
was of great benefit. I was then
placed in a modified work role that
didn’t
exceed my
physical
limitations. I was
encouraged
to apply for
other positions. Occupational Health sent me
for a “physical demand assessment”
and helped guide me in my decisionmaking. I also took advantage of free
education programs.
This experience was life changing!
Through it all, I needed understanding and support from people who
surrounded me. So, if this happens
to a colleague, be compassionate and
if it happens to you, be patient… the
impossible happens.
Sue Eggleton
Changing Disability to Ability
I
“I wanted to be a nurse
since the seventh grade,
When I graduated,
I thought I had it made,
Until one day a patient fell,
And my life became a living hell.
Lying awake at night,
I wonder what my future holds,
I’m scared; I’m really not very old,
Will there be a job for me?
How do I get where I need to be?”
When you can no longer do the job
you were doing before your illness or
injury struck, you need to know what
your options are. TOH has a work
accommodation program for employees who can no longer perform the
duties of their current jobs.
The first step in the work accommodation process is to determine
your abilities, either through WSIB
(a work injury) or, if your illness or
injury did not occur at work, by your
Summer 2006
doctor or by a functional capacities
evaluation performed outside the
hospital to determine your physical
strengths.
In most cases, workers are accommodated in the jobs they performed
prior to their illness/injury with
modifications to meet their restrictions. When that is not possible, we
try to find work within your clinical
program, i.e. if you are a nurse in
the Birthing Unit, we would look for
a vacant job for you anywhere in the
OBS/GYN portfolio, across campuses.
If there is no work available within
your specialty, we then begin a job
search for vacant positions in the
hospital.
At this point, the Occupational
Health and Safety team works closely
with you to determine what areas in
the hospital would meet your abilities. As you must be qualified for the
positions that are identified, you
The Ottawa Hospital Nursing News
need to start considering educational
programs to gain the required knowledge to work in these areas. Nursing
Professional Practice can assist you
with information on expected nursing
vacancies at TOH as well as various
nursing education programs. Human
Resources Learning and Development
also supplies many free courses that
will help increase your skills, including computer and French classes
Update your CV-it is the first impression managers will have of you.
In summary, consider at your abilities and interests and determine the
kind of work you want to do. Next,
develop an action plan to get there.
I will be there to help you along the
way as well as the Human Resources,
Nursing Professional Practice and
Learning and Development teams.

Pandemic Influenza Planning
at TOH
T
The prospect of an influenza pandemic
sweeping the globe is receiving great
attention. This would occur when all
four of the following criteria are met:
• A new influenza A virus is detected
• Human-to-human transmission
happens easily
• The new virus causes serious clinical illness and death
• The population has little or no
immunity to the virus
Pandemics are unpredictable in
timing, but experts agree we’re overdue. A likely source may be the “bird
flu” or avian influenza virus, which
normally infects birds and, sometimes, pigs. The H5N1 avian influenza
strain, on rare occasions, has infected
humans who’ve been in close contact
with sick or dead poultry. There is
concern H5N1 might mutate into a
strain contagious among humans.
TOH Pandemic Influenza Committee was formed November 2005. A
representative has met with departments to assist them in developing
corporate plans to deal with an outbreak to protect staff and to maintain
acceptable activity levels to also treat
other illnesses. These plans will be
reviewed to produce a comprehensive
Master Plan, which will coordinate all
departments’ plans and closely align
with regional, provincial and national
plans. Pandemic information is being
shared to staff through open forums.

Imagine the Possibilities
T
The Ottawa Hospital is embarking on a new
journey, transforming the way we deliver care.
From bedside care to financial records to
diagnostic equipment, the e-Health vision will
result in an integrated view of our organization.
And our nurses are at the heart of many of these
initiatives. Here are just a few examples:
determine the types and quantities of devices
needed to support the implementation of both
the Nursing Flow Sheet implementation and
the Less Paper initiative. The goal is to stop
the printing of all results currently available
in vOACIS. This impacts all clinicians not just
Med/Surg nurses.
Last fall, the Nursing Flow Sheet
Working Group was established to guide the
implementation of the online vOACIS Med/
Surg Nursing Flowsheet (NFS). This group,
comprised of nurses, educators, advanced
practice nurses, managers, IS and Dinmar
(the vOACIS vendor) reps, met several times
to review the proposed screen designs for
vital signs, intake and output, assessments
and interventions. Work is progressing well.
The goal is not to simply put the existing NFS
online, but to transform the way in which
clinical information is collected and displayed.
Concurrently, the Access Working Group,
primarily an IS/IT Working Group with some
clinical representation, is completing extensive
research to identify issues and considerations.
Pilot studies will take place on several
inpatient and outpatient units as well as in
the Emergency Department to determine the
make and model of access devices (computerson-wheels, wall-mounted devices, tablets, or
desktop computers) that best suit our needs.
Once the screen designs are completed,
the next step will be for the IS and Dinmar
programmers to develop prototypes (working
models) for feedback from the NFS Working
Group members. Final development and testing
will follow with the initial implementation on
6NE this fall, and rollout to the remaining Med/
Surg units in 2007.
One question that has been asked relates to
the number of computers available for charting
online. It is agreed that charting needs to be
done at the point-of-care (or as close as possible
to the time the event occurred). To accomplish
this, sufficient computers are required.
The Less Paper Working Group is
conducting an analysis on each unit to
A key factor in all of these initiatives is
training. Four new computer-training rooms
are being constructed. Approval has also been
received to establish a clinical systems training
infrastructure with permanently staffed
positions. A training model will be developed
to support intra-disciplinary training and post
live support during the initial systems rollout
as well as on an ongoing basis for new hires
and transfers. Part of this model will include
ensuring clinicians have basic computer
skills before they are giving vOACIS online
documentation training as well as extensive
support during the immediate and post live
phase.
Watch for more e-Health updates in Nursing
News and The Journal. Together we are
transforming patient care!

Medical Directives
By Evelyn Kerr
B
Background – all medical orders
or prescriptions for a procedure/
treatment/intervention, must
exist in one of two forms – “direct
order” or “medical directive”. It
is the responsibility of the health
care team to determine whether
a procedure can safely be carried
out by means of a medical directive or patient specific (direct)
order.
Development of a medical
directive requires a collaborative
and inclusive process involving
all potential groups of health
care professionals affected by
the directive (directly or indirectly). The group of health
care professionals who develop
a medical directive shall determine which health care professionals may implement a medical directive.
What is a Medical Directive?
• Physicians authorize Medical
Directives to a health care
provider who has the knowledge, skills and judgment
to manage the outcomes of
enacting a medical directive.
( Nurses, RT’s, Pharmacists
etc.)
• A medical directive is a prescription for a procedure,
treatment or intervention
that may be performed for
a range of clients who meet
certain conditions.
– A medical directive identifies a specific treatment or
range of treatments (i.e.
medications, diagnostic
tests).
Summer 2006
– Specific conditions must
be met (clients to be
included or excluded in
a medical directive, and
which health care professional can perform the
medical directive).
– Specific circumstances
must exist before the
directive can be implemented. For example,
who will be involved in the
development of the Medical Directive, each group
impacted by the medical
directive should be consulted, (i.e. lab, radiology,
and nursing)? Who will
be trained and what the
training be? How will the
Medical Directive be communicated?
What does this mean to
Nursing? In most instances,
medical directives are put in
place for nurses to manage situations without the presence of
the physician.
• For example, in situations
where the nurse knows with
great certainty the outcomes
of the care to the patient.
• Also, medical directives have
been put in place in the
event of emergency situations, where the nurse can
administer a certain medication to a patient, as the
physician may not be there
to order it and the patient
needs a particular medication as a life-saving measure.
• A good example of a Medical
The Ottawa Hospital Nursing News
Directive is the administration of the flu vaccine and
subsequent potential administration of Epinephrine.
The CNO Medical Directives
document 2000 states: The
health professional who implements an intervention on the
basis of a medical directive is
responsible for:
• Clarifying that informed consent has been obtained;
• Assessing the client to determine whether the specific
client conditions, and any
situational circumstances
identified in the directive,
have been met;
• Knowing the risks to the
client of implementing the
directive;
• Possessing the knowledge,
skill and judgment required
to implement the directive
safely;
• Knowing the predictability of the outcomes of the
intervention;
• Determining whether management of the possible outcomes is within the scope of
her/his practice;
• If so, whether she/he is competent to provide such management, and if not, whether
the appropriate resources
are available to assist as
required;
• Knowing how to contact the
physician responsible for care
of the client if orders require
clarification.

Medical Directives (cont’d)
CNO and CPSO support the
use of medical directives. Correctly used, medical directives
can be an excellent means to
provide timely, effective and
efficient client care, using the
expertise of the physician who
orders the directive, and the
health practitioner who uses
discretion and judgment when
implementing it. It is important to remember that a medical directive, regardless of how
generic its contents, is a medical order for which the physician
has ultimate responsibility.
You can access the policy
on Medical Directives in your
Administration Policy and Procedures Manual ADM II 200 or on
InfoNet under “Policy and Procedures/Keyword”.
