OpusVi’s Preceptor Program transformed how we evaluate and support our team. The detailed insights allowed us to identify and address performance risks before they could impact patient safety. With this level of clarity, we’re now confident that our preceptors are equipped to provide exceptional care and guidance, safeguarding both our patients and our nursing teams.

Ashok Subramanian

Dean of The William A. Franke College of Business at Northern Arizona University

Unlike many MBA programs which tend to specialize around functional lines such as finance, marketing, or analytics, my preference is to specialize along industry lines because every industry has its unique processes, models, problem structures, metrics, and key performance indicators. That’s why I’m very excited about this partnership. Healthcare is a unique industry and combining NAU’s business expertise with OpusVi™’s industry insights will allow us to teach business in the right industry context — this feeds well into my philosophical approach and will empower healthcare professionals to excel in their careers and achieve greatness for their organizations and their communities.

Kurt Hayes

This program is built on relevance and employs practical, proven pedagogy throughout — we carefully design every aspect of the experience so students can succeed, improve their overall wellbeing, and make a real difference in their careers.

In this program, learners will not just learn about the theory of social determinants of health, but also gain knowledge and skills that are immediately transferable to implement change in the workplace and communities. Learners will also gain skills to overcome obstacles to implementing change and how to evaluate program success.

Julia Profit-Johnson, RN, BSN

Birthing Center Manager at Bailey Medical Center and Secretary/Treasurer for the Oklahoma Nurses Association (ONAi

I was really impressed with the content. All topics were relevant and ‘real-time’. I found it interesting that it covered all subjects that would be important for nurse leaders, whether it was finance, communications within the team or to executive teams. It prepares those who want to progress to the next level of leadership.

Nicole DeJong

Director of Learning Experience Design at OpusVi

We’re proud of the learning experience we have created for this program. It’s truly immersive and practice-based learning. For example, we employ medical office simulation software so that learners can practice the exact tasks they will do on the job in a safe environment. Additionally, we have strategies in place to build a social learning community throughout the program. Learners can exchange ideas and network across multiple health systems even before they meet in-person during their skill boot camps.

John Godina

Three-time World Championship winner and two-time Olympic medal winner in the shot put

I opened and owned multiple fitness and sports training businesses since my retirement as an athlete. What is critical is knowing the processes of moving from one industry to another. By bringing the sports perspective into this Mini-MBA, we want to help people understand the nuances of the mental approach, the processes of goal setting, and the experiences around recovery. It provides a knowledge base that helps a medical provider transition into the business aspects of healthcare.

Leveraging Evidence-Based Models

The program is designed using a competency-based educational framework and aligns with ANCC’s Practice Transition Accreditation Program (PTAP) standards and criteria allowing hospitals to demonstrate the excellence and rigor of their clinical transition programs. Additionally, the program is designed based on the following research-based models:

Donna Wright Competency Model:

Competencies are identified, assessed and validated at the point of care with multiple validation methods. Licensed RNs must be empowered to own their practice and competency development and held accountable to practice to the full extent of their licensure.

Married-State Preceptorship Model (MSPM):

Partners preceptee to preceptor at all times, working together and managing a full patient load from the very beginning, with tasks increasing as the preceptee transitions into practice.

Casey-Fink New Nurse Experience Survey:

Evidence-based survey commonly used to assess transition to practice programs. Insights into skills, support, patient safety, stress, communication, leadership, professional satisfaction.

Benner’s Novice to Expert Theory:

Advocates for opportunities where nurses can apply and integrate theoretical knowledge with actual events.

Real-Time, Rich Data Insights Across Your Organization

The scalable platform allows access, across the healthcare system, to real-time data giving leaders greater capacity for informed decision-making related to new graduate progression, problems, barriers and achievements.

The data collected throughout the program provides unique visibility into a new nurse's journey, allowing each system to identify and analyze areas of opportunity.
