Explain the rationale behind the qi improvement initiative


Homework: Quality Improvement Initiative Evaluation

Deliver to the interprofessional team a presentation (20 minutes; 12 to 15 slides) that analyzes an existing workplace quality improvement initiative related to a specific disease, condition, or public health issue of interest. The presentation's purpose is to inform and get buy-in from the interprofessional team.

Too often, discussions about quality health care, care costs, and outcome measures take place in isolation-various groups talking among themselves about results and enhancements. Nurses are critical to the delivery of high-quality, efficient health care. As a result, they must develop their skills in reviewing and evaluating performance reports. They also need to be able to communicate outcome measures related to quality initiatives effectively. Patient safety and positive institutional health care outcomes mandate collaboration among nursing staff members to ensure the integration of their perspectives in all quality care initiatives.

In this homework, you will have the opportunity to analyze a quality improvement initiative in your workplace. You will then present your analysis to a group of nurses and other health care professionals. The purpose of your presentation is to inform and enlist support for the initiative from your audience.
