his isn't the first time OR Manager
has addressed burnout and
the need for greater resiliency,
and it probably won't be the last, judging
by the pervasiveness of this problem.
But the good news is, peer support
programs-in addition to other
resources-show promise for helping
people get through tough times and
persuading them that they don't have
to go it alone (cover).
T
Priorities for 2020
At MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical
Center in Fountain Valley, California,
creating environments that help nurses
process stressful events in a healthy
manner is number 2 on the list of top 5
nurse leadership issues for 2020, says
Shela Kaneshiro, MBA, BSN, RN, NEABC,
CPHQ, vice president, patient care
services, and chief nursing officer. (The
other issues are succession planning,
workplace violence, span of control,
and alternative ways to keep nurses at
the bedside.)
In August 2019, her facility launched
a confidential peer-to-peer support program
with training provided by Johns
Hopkins. " This peer-to-peer support program
is something that [nurses] can

A strong contributor to OR Manager's
early success, Billie Fernsebner, MSN, RN,
died January 29, 2020, in Longmont, Colorado.
She was 84.
When OR Manager was just
3 years old, Fernsebner, then a
perioperative clinical nurse specialist
at Massachusetts General
Hospital in Boston, suggested
that OR Manager offer a conference
for OR directors and others
responsible for the management
of the OR suite. " It seemed a
challenge to take on a new venture, but we
agreed, " says Elinor Schrader, OR Manager
cofounder with Pat Patterson. " The
early conferences, held in Boston, were cosponsored
by Mass General, which provided
invaluable name recognition. "
Fernsebner coordinated the educational
programs for the OR Manager Conference,
launched in 1988, and for the
OR Business Management Conference,
launched in 2000. " Potential speakers
joked that they couldn't say no to her when
she asked them to present at the conference, "
Schrader says.

tap into during the day when [they] are
having a difficult shift; for example, they
had a traumatic event or they had a
death of a patient they had been caring
for for a while, or they've had issues
with physicians or coworkers, "
Kaneshiro says. " They can call [the
peer responder] confidentially, and the
peer responder can meet with them or
just be on the phone so that they can
talk and unload. "
The program aligns with those at
other facilities where healthcare professionals
are taught how to respond
appropriately, communication is confidential,
and the supportive environment
de-stigmatizes the emotional or psychological
trauma associated with a critical
incident.
Understanding the issues
" Healthcare organizations that implement
burnout interventions-such as
mindfulness and resilience training-
may experience increased employee
retention, reduced staff turnover and
performance problems, and increased
patient satisfaction, " the Joint Commission
says in its Quick Safety Issue
50: Developing Resilience to Combat
Nurse Burnout.

In Memoriam: Billie Fernsebner
When Fernsebner and her husband
moved from Massachusetts to Colorado,
she joined OR Manager as education coordinator
and consulting editor,
serving 13 years from 1993
until her retirement in 2006.
She developed a competencybased
orientation program for
perioperative nurses, which was
published by OR Manager as
Core Curriculum for Perioperative
Nursing (four editions). She
also conducted a study to identify
competencies for the management of
the OR, which was the foundation for the
publication, Competencies for Management
of the Operating Room (three editions).
She wrote numerous articles for OR
Manager on management issues.
" We deeply appreciate the knowledge
and energy Fernsebner brought to
OR Manager. She was key to the organization's
success in providing valuable
resources for OR directors and managers, "
says Schrader. " Her accomplishments were
underscored by her commitment to patient
advocacy and professional nursing. "
