Scenario

For this assessment, you may choose from the following options as the subject of a root-cause analysis and safety improvement plan:

The specific safety concern identified in your previous assessment.

The Vila Health: Root-Cause Analysis and Safety Improvement Planning simulation.

One of the case studies from the previous assessment.

A personal practice experience in which a sentinel event occurred.

The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of and ability to analyze a root cause of a specific safety concern in a health care setting. You will create a plan to improve the safety of patients related to the concern based on the results of your analysis, using the literature and professional best practices as well as the existing resources at your chosen health care setting to provide a rationale for your plan.

Use the Root-Cause Analysis and Improvement Plan Template [DOCX] to help you to stay organized and concise. This will guide you step-by-step through the root cause analysis process.

Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring

guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

Analyze the root cause of a patient safety issue or a specific sentinel event in an organization.

Apply evidence-based and best-practice strategies to address the safety issue or sentinel event.

Create a feasible, evidence-based safety improvement plan.

Identify organizational resources that could be leveraged to improve your plan.

Communicate in writing that is clear, logical, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using

current APA style.

Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:

Scenario

Consider the hospital-acquired conditions that are not reimbursed under Medicare/Medicaid, some of which are

specific safety issues such as infections, falls, medication errors, and other concerns  hat could have been prevented or alleviated with the use of evidence-based guidelines.

Choose a specific condition of interest and incorporate evidence-based strategies to support communication and ensure safe and effective care. For this assessment, consider using one of the following approaches:

1. Expand on the scenario presented in Vila Health: Identifying Patient Safety Concerns and analyze a quality improvement (QI) initiative.

2. Analyze a current issue in clinical practice and identify a quality improvement (QI) initiative in the health care setting.

Instructions

The purpose of this assessment is to better understand the role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in enhancing quality improvement (QI) measures that address safety risk. This will be within the specific context of patient safety risks at a health care setting of your choice. You will do this by exploring the professional guidelines and best practices for improving and maintaining patient safety in health care settings from organizations such as QSEN and the IOM. Looking through the lens of these professional best practices to examine the current policies and procedures currently in place at your chosen organization and the impact on safety measures for patients, you will consider the role of the nurse in driving quality and safety improvements. You will identify stakeholders in QI improvement and safety measures as well as consider evidence-based strategies to enhance quality of care and promote safety in the context of your chosen health care setting.

Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you know what is needed for a distinguished score.

Explain factors leading to a specific patient-safety risk. Explain evidence-based and best-practice solutions to improve patient safety related to a specific patientsafety risk and reduce costs.

Explain how nurses can help coordinate care to increase patient safety and reduce costs. Identify stakeholders with whom nurses would coordinate to drive safety enhancements. Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style.

Additional Requirements

Length of submission: 3–5 pages, plus title and reference pages.

Number of references: Cite a minimum of 4 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your

findings and considerations. Resources should be no more than 5 years old.

APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to current APA style.
