Building readiness for high-stakes events

A nurse needs an emergency protocol. Right now. Not in 5 minutes, not after searching through a shared drive — now.

MaineHealth built a system where the answer is one QR scan away. On equipment, on walls, on badges.Ashley E. Cunningham, Jennifer Smith, and Amanda Tamayo share exactly how they did it: the structure, the tools, and what happened when they rolled it out across surgical services, inpatient units, and the ED.

You'll see:

• How they organize protocols so staff actually find and use them
• Why QR codes on badges turned out to be a game-changer
• The simple Canva + 7taps workflow that keeps everything current
