Conducting a time motion study involves several steps:
1. Preparation: Define the objectives, select the tasks to be studied, and choose the appropriate methods for data collection. 2. Data Collection: This can be done through direct observation, using time-tracking software, or self-reporting by nurses. 3. Analysis: The collected data is analyzed to identify patterns, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement. 4. Implementation: Based on the findings, recommendations are made, and changes are implemented to optimize workflows.
