NURS 424 QI Project, Pt. 1


Instructions

Step 1: group assignment, group responsibilities

Students will be assigned by the instructor to a group and problem focus for their Quality Improvement (QI) Project assignment. Your group and project focus are found under the course Tools menu button – in the Groups. In the Group Properties, there is a Description included to begin framing the project. The group includes discussion board and wiki features to use to facilitate and organized the project throughout each part.  You will also be submitting each part of the project through the group feature.  It is highly recommended that the group sets up a project Part 1 outline with assigned member tasks and time frames and repeating this for Parts 2 and 3.  Each member is responsible for proofing, APA, and feedback --- this is not solely on one individual.  You will need to be checking in with your group at least a few times each week. Timely communication and respect for each other are professional expectations. 

Step 2: readings, videos

Before starting to write your paper, it is imperative that you complete the required readings and watch the videos associated with this assignment. In addition, it is also be helpful if you go to Week #3 under “Course Content” and view the two items related to QI. The aforementioned items are below in this document.

Step 3: describing your hypothetical clinical space, developing your hypothetical clinical space

To get started on writing Part 1 of your paper, your group will want to look at whatever is being done in your clinical experiences related to your topic, for example, medication reconciliation. Does your group think that medication reconciliation for nurses and/or patients is optimal? Based on the incidence of gaps in medication reconciliation we could all safely say that there is room for improvement. What about it at the hospitals that you have been at in clinical or worked at could it be improve? That is where your QI project comes in. Improving medication reconciliation (or your topic) in your hypothetical hospital X.

What your group is to do is take into consideration your experiences related to your group topic from facilities that you have worked or had clinicals in and create a hypothetical hospital that may include these same current processes. You will then develop policy, procedures and/or processes that will improve your topic outcomes in a measurable way. In other words, first you must describe what the current protocol/standard practice is at your hypothetical hospital (based on what you have seen in your practice), then outline how you will go about evaluating it so that you can improve it.

Formatting

Part 1 will need to be minimum of 5 pages with a maximum of 7 pages (this does not include title page and references).  Content should be comprehensive and accurate. Major points need to be stated clearly, supported by specific details, examples or analysis, and organized logically. The document writing should reflect critical thinking, interpretation and analysis of the problem.
