AONE Online Communities
View AONE online communities usage guidelines
The AONE online communities facilitate the collaboration of best practices, encourage the sharing of knowledge and resources and help you discover solutions to day-to-day issues.
What is an "online community"?
An online community is an email communication that allows a member to send and receive public messages, questions and answers. It is an instant email community that will help you find answers and share knowledge. Each participant receives sent messages and has the option to reply to the message publicly or to the individual who initiated the message. Is it secure? You bet! An AONE staff member will moderate and approve every email, so there's no need to worry about inappropriate emails or pesky spammers.
Sample questions of Online Community messages
These questions are examples of the types of questions you're likely to see online:
- How have you incorporated the AONE Nurse Manager Inventory into your staff development plans?
- What new and innovative recruitment and retention strategies have you implemented in your organization?
- How do the mandatory nurse staffing ratios impact your hospital?
- Our organization is interested in best practices on moving our patient safety agenda forward thorough collaboration and partnerships. Is anyone willing to share a successful model?
