Characteristics of Successful Cuff Conversion Specialists
1. Hard Worker (most important part of the job)
a. You must be able to hustle and not just for a few minutes but for the entire day. Once the conversion starts in a hospital, time is of the essence. The blood pressure cuff will be following the patient thru their hospital stay and will not "work" until the team has swept thru a department and adapted the devices (and changed out the existing BP cuffs).
b. In off-site physician clinics, space is limited and our presence is a disruption to patient care. We must be quick, thorough, professional and pleasant at all times.
2. Detail Oriented & Multi-Tasker (2nd most important part of the job)
a. You will have to be able to walk into a patient's room, find ALL the blood pressure cuffs and devices QUICKLY, convert them and get out. All of this has to be done in about 30 seconds or less. Thus, while you are converting, your mind has to be thinking of where might a cuff be hiding in this room - where is there another BP device that may need to be adapted before leaving the room.
NOTE: Some patient rooms are isolation or contact-precaution rooms. We will adhere to all hospital policies prior to entering these rooms, which includes a gown, gloves and sometimes a mask. Proper hand washing techniques are used upon leaving these rooms.
3. Punctual & Responsible
a. You must always be at the meeting site on time and plan ahead for extenuating circumstances like traffic or "the dog ate my lunch". You will need to have reliable transportation as we work off-hours. (Some days we have to start at 6am or earlier, some days we have to work till 9pm or so.) You will be part of a team of 2-4 and the team cannot function if you are missing or don't feel like working one day.
4. Friendly, Outgoing and Professional
a. Granted, every employer wants someone who is friending outgoing and professional, but this job can often get challenging in terms of people interactions. We only have a limited amount of time in each hospital department or clinic. We must be able to communicate our job in a friendly manner, even at the end of a 12+ hour work day. No one likes change and in some hospitals, the cuff conversion will be a major change to their daily routine. We must communicate the change and quickly dispel any negative attitudes toward the new cuffs and/or new process.
b. There will be times that the Conversion Specialist has to give an in service on proper use of blood pressure cuffs - proper sizing, proper technique, etc
