Topic: Integration of Dayshift flow nurse (example: if we have a discharge to do but then have 4 or 5 higher acuity- say positive covid cases or whatever- cases that take priority- this nurse can come in and help get that discharge done along with other needs that are being overshadowed by the higher cases). Here are the directions: 1: Identify key elements from nursing research/ literature to provide evidence-based guidance and support for quality improvement projects (QIP) 2: Evaluate professional literature brought forward by team members for use with the QIP. 3: Apply nursing research findings to a specific QIP The PDSA is a model format for Plan, Do, Study, Act Please reference this website for information on this: https://www.ihi.org/resources/Pages/HowtoImprove/default.aspx Define the problem Define the extent, nature, or severity of the problem, using data. The problem may be an ongoing, in-progress, or new problem. Why does change need to occur? Provide research, established standards, evidence-based practice, and/or regulations to support the necessity. Aim Clearly identify the aim of the project. This should be specific, measurable, and identifies a specific population or system. Planning Phase State the question you want to answer and make a prediction about what you think will happen. Develop a plan to test the change. (Who? What? When? Where?) Identify what data you will need to collect Do Phase Describe the program implementation strategy. Specify how these activities occurred and discuss any variations from the original plan. Document problems and unexpected variations. Identify resources utilized ., personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities/space, other. This section differs from the Planning Phase in that this reflects what actually occurred. (This should not simply reiterate the original plan, but instead, it should reflect on the actual implementation of the intervention). Study Phase Analyze the results and compare them with your plan/predictions. Collaborate as a team to analyze your findings. Compare the data to your prediction. How will you know if your project strategy was successful or not? If your project isn’t completed, what objective, measurable outcomes will you use to benchmark success? Summarize and reflect on what you have learned (if applicable) Act Phase Adapt (make modifications and run another test), adopt (test the change on a larger scale), or abandon (dont do another test on this change idea). Prepare a plan for the next PDSA. The PDSA worksheet has a few pages to fill in The Driver Diagram has a diagram to fill in (the attachment labeled Project planning will help you fill this in) Then there will be a poster to put all the information onto (attachment: poster template) please reference the rubric also. I can provide examples if you would like.Show more
