Quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) frameworks

Develop a 4-page quality/performance improvement framework for your doctoral project.

Quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) frameworks are used to establish and evaluate processes in practice. The most common models for such a framework are Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) and Six Sigma Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC). The purpose of this assessment is to use key information from your project charter to develop a QI/PI framework from which you will begin developing a project implementation plan and logic model in the next assessment.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

· Competency 1: Align the project charter with a continuous improvement model.

1. Describe the current practice needing improvement.

1. Explain how QI/PI data will be collected and analyzed.

1. Describe the proposed QI/PI changes and expected outcomes.

1. Explain how changes in quality or performance will be evaluated.

1. Apply APA style and formatting to scholarly writing.

Instructions

Is about reducing falls in a primary care clinic with the implementation of a fall risk management protocol, now the clinic doesn’t use any protocol.

Develop a quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) framework for your project, aligned with your project charter. Choose a model for your framework, using the PDCA or DMAIC model, a model used in your organization, or another familiar reputable model that is suitable for your project. PDCA or DMAIC model information and examples are included in Resources.

Provide a succinct, scholarly narrative that reflects the content of your model and addresses the key points outlined below:

Use of Personal Communication Devices in Patient Care Settings

Discussion

Preparing the Discussion

· Discussions are designed to promote dialogue between faculty and students, and students and their peers. In discussions students:

· Demonstrate understanding of concepts for the week

· Integrate outside scholarly sources when required

· Engage in meaningful dialogue with classmates and/or instructor

· Express opinions clearly and logically, in a professional manner

· Use the rubric on this page as you compose your answers.

· Best Practices include:

· Enter the discussion often during the week to read and learn from posts.

· Select different classmates for your reply each week.

Discussion Question

A nurse colleague uses his personal cell phone to take a photo of a patient’s wound and then sends a message with the photo to the primary care provider via a text. Please consider the following in your discussion post:

· What principles of patient confidentiality might be an issue? Consider legal and ethical.

· How might this nurse use a communication device to support safe patient practices?

· What would your organization’s policy on 'personal communication device use in a patient care setting' reveal related to this case? (If your organization does not have a written policy, or you are not currently working in an organization, what do you think should be included in such a policy and why?)

EVIDENCE-BASED PROJECT, PART 3: CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF RESEARCH

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 3A: Critical Appraisal of Research

Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3.

Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.

Part 3B: Critical Appraisal of Research

Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.

The interpretation of research in health care is essentia

The interpretation of research in health care is essential to decision-making. By understanding research, health care providers can identify risk factors, trends, outcomes for treatment, health care costs, and best practices. To be effective in evaluating and interpreting research, the reader must first understand how to interpret the findings.
