U Guide Innovation

U Guide is an opportunity to have your voices heard! Using U Guide provides a standardized process for initiating new initiatives. It provides a shared decision making model for new initiatives and it provides more efficient workflow processes that reduce costs and redundancy.

How does U Guide Work?

1. If you have an idea or recommendation discuss it with your unit leadership and then complete the U Guide Innovation Submission Form.
2. The U Guide Selection Council (a Professional Governance sub-council of bedside staff, CNS/Educators, and Nursing Leaders) will review your submission. 
3. Within two weeks of submission you will be contacted and connected with a council or subject matter expert that will help guide you as you implement your great idea!

Your idea will also be included in the Nursing Initiative Library: This webpage will be where all staff can review the details of your initiative and contact you for questions or possible future collaboration. You will be sent an update survey monthly- to ensure that the information on the webpage is up to date and correct.
