ReSource Newsletter Expands to Two Regions
CINHC is pleased to announce the expansion of the ReSource Newsletter to include both the San Francisco Bay Area Nursing Resource Center (BANRC) as well as the Los Angeles Area Nursing Resource Center (LANRC) Our combined efforts will streamline communications and coordinate planning with both Northern and Southern California. Centralized Clinical Placement System (CCPS) users and key stakeholders will receive information regarding clinical placement planning updates, additions and changes to the CCPS Tool, placement cycle dates and training sessions. Projects and activities unique to each region will also be shared and help to inform others in California. We hope you find this new shared format an improvement.
Thank you for your continued participation. We hope you enjoy the expanded ReSource Newsletter!

Bay Area News and Updates
Over the month of May, CINHC partnered with the Foundation for California Community Colleges (FCCC) to gather information from San Francisco Bay Area hospitals and schools regarding clinical placement strategies for nursing students and use of the Centralized Clinical Placement System (CCPS). Phone interviews, surveys and focus groups captured community input as to how CCPS can better meet the needs of current, past, and potential users. The study has been led by a third party, the RP Group, which is the Research & Planning Group for California Community Colleges, and is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Results of the study will inform and hopefully align a product road map for identifying clinical placement features and function that will best serve schools and clinical sites as care continues to expand to community-based care. Results will be shared with other CCPS licensed locations, including Los Angeles and Bakersfield in California, as well as our users across the country. Highlights of the study will be shared at the next newsletter. |
