Kahuna Collaborates With Mayo Clinic To Transform Clinical Orientation and Digitized Competency Management
TSAM® Product Package
The TSAM® Model is a structured approach to clinical orientation, allowing preceptees to learn and master tiers of skills alongside a preceptor in the clinical setting. This methodology exposes preceptees to a full patient load from the beginning of orientation and adjusts orientation to the individual’s learning needs. Studies have cited how the TSAM® Model increases nurse confidence, role satisfaction and nurse retention, reduces the overall orientation length, and increases the number of patient experiences for each preceptee.
