Assignment 5

You have been tasked by your CNO to provide a report and present to the board of directors about how your organization is transforming based on Health and Medicine Division (HMD) recommendations in high-profile reports.

Hi, All,

The final assignment, in this class, considers the information you have been reading on the Health and Medicine Division (HMD) website since week one (The Future of Nursing; Leading Change Advancing Health). In this final week, you are looking at several reports To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality, and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century (access can be located under the week five learning activities Health and Medicine Division). These reports identify deficits in health care that need to be addressed to improve quality and safety.Many organizations have used these reports to establish their quality goals to address the deficiencies identified.

Once you review the reports provided on the Health and Medicine Division (HMD) website you are going to identify recommendations that directly impact how nurses provide care at the bedside. The elements to be addressed in this assignment are all based on the data you will read in the reports and the two peer-reviewed journals that you will locate.Then, you will review the quality indicators at the organization where you practice, one in your community, or one of interest and demonstrate how they are addressing the HMD reports vision. Consider their vision, mission, and value statements, as well as the quality indicators they have selected. In your demonstration of the organization and how they are addressing the HMD reports provide some specific examples from the organization in the form of changes in care, governance, training, communication, and partnerships.

The 260-word executive summary will provide an overview to the Board of Directors of the facility you have selected to address (information you might find helpful in creating an executive summary http://www.umuc.edu/current-students/learning-reso… summary will provide a report about how your organization (or the one you selected) is transforming based on Health and Medicine Division (HMD) recommendations in high-profile reports. The 260-word executive summary can be added to the power point® on a slide rather than posting a separate document.

As you prepare the assignment, review the grading rubric for the assignment and use it as a checklist as you complete the assignment to ensure all the required content is addressed.The assignment also provides another opportunity to develop your skills in using power point® for a presentation. There is a power point® tutorial in the library Center for Writing Excellence that you may want to preview before starting to create your presentation. Remember to use the comments from the earlier power point® assignment to help you develop this 10-12 slide (title and references slides are not counted) presentation and improve your use of the APA format when citing data learned in the research and then used in the presentation.

If you have additional questions, use the Course Questions post in class or post them to me as a message and we can discuss.

Review the HMD reports (To Err is Human, Find the Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality, Crossing Quality Chasm).

Determine which recommendations directly affect how nurses provide care at the bedside.

Research quality indicators at the organization where you practice, one in your community, or one of interest.

Cite evidence from the organization’s quality measures that demonstrate they are carrying out the HMD’s vision.

Provide specific examples from the organization in the form of changes in care, governance, training, communication, and partnerships.

Research, locate, & Cite at least two scholarly (peer-reviewed) articles to support the points made in the presentation following APA format

Executive Summary

Medical errors are third leading cause of death and account for more than an astounding 250,000 deaths yearly (Anderson & Abrahamson, 2017, p. 13).Recently at Intermountain Healthcare, a patient died due to multiple providers failure to follow through on management of prothrombin time/international ratio (PT/INR) lab for a patient taking warfain.In another incident, infection resulted, and surgical intervention was required due to retained dressings from wound vac dressing change.Although these incidents could have been prevented, both incidents as well as many other medical errors reported at Intermountain result in a change of process to prevent reoccurring episodes.

With only about ten percent of medical errors being reported (Anderson & Abrahamson, 2017, p. 13) it is vital that we foster an environment that encourages for reporting. At Intermountain several processes have changed due to the reporting on medical errors.Reporting allows for correction of the problem. At Intermountain we encourage a blame free environment where we encourage reporting of errors. Here at Intermountain we strive to have zero harm to our patients.We have adopted error prevention training that is required for all staff members called zero harm.

We strive to meet the HMD recommendations by enforcing education . Intermountain has a tuition reimbursement as well as a requirement to obtain BSN within two year of being hired. continued educations though learning modules as well as have a signed contract for all new hires to have to get bachelor’s degree after two years. RQI modules quarterly ensure healthcare providers deliver the best CPR. With more highly educated nurses delivering evidence-based practice we can deliver the best care.
