Big improvements have been made to the Clinical section of LinkNet!

Starting Monday, Dec. 9, you'll find a more organized format that makes accessing important information easier and more intuitive. You can expect:

• Fewer and clearer options in the Clinical drop-down menu
• A list of frequently used links for quick navigation
• Information grouped by clinical department

Get familiar with the changes before they go live on LinkNet. Attend one of the following show-and-tell events:

• Arrow Springs, 9:30 to 11 a.m. Dec. 6
• Bethesda North, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 2 and 3 in the cafeteria
• Bethesda Butler, 1 to 2:30 p.m. Dec. 6
• TriHealth Evendale, 1 to 2:30 p.m. Dec. 6
• Good Samaritan, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 4 and 5 in the cafeteria
• Good Samaritan Western Ridge, 9:30 to 11 a.m. Dec. 6

To make these recommended improvements, a LinkNet nursing taskforce was formed under the direction of Nursing Leadership and made up of managers and staff from several departments who analyzed the Clinical section.

The group included representatives from emergency, med/surg, perioperative, orthopedics, critical care, Hospice, professional excellence, corporate nursing, marketing communications and information systems.

Throughout the process, the taskforce followed these guiding principles:

• Make the section easier to use with shorter steps to get to information.
• Consider clarity and simplicity.
• Group information sensibly.
• Cut down on redundancy.
