Assignment Task:
Instructions:
For this assessment, first review the nursing-sensitive quality indicators presented in the Assessment - Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators resource and select one nursing-sensitive quality indicator to use as the focus for this assessment.
Next, imagine you are a member of a Quality Improvement Council at any type of health care system, whether acute, ambulatory, home healths, managed care, et cetera. Your Council has identified that newly hired nurses would benefit from comprehensive training on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. The Council would like the training to address how this information is collected and disseminated across the organization. It would also like the training to describe the role nurses have in accurate reporting and high-quality results.
The council prefers a recorded presentation using PowerPoint or a similar application. This will allow the education department to show the presentation during new hire training.
As a result of this need, you offer to create a presentation orienting new hires to these topics. You know that you will need speaker's notes to guide your recording. You plan to incorporate the insights you learned from conducting an interview with an authority on quality monitoring and the use of technology to collect and report quality indicator data.
You determine that you will cover the following topics in your presentation:
Introduction: Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicator
1. What is the National Database of Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators?
2. What are nursing-sensitive quality indicators?
3. Which particular quality indicator did you select to address in your tutorial?
4. Why is this quality indicator important to monitor?
- Be sure to address the impact of this indicator on the quality of care and patient safety.
5. Why do new nurses need to be familiar with this particular quality indicator when providing patient care? Need Assignment Help?
Collection and Distribution of Quality Indicator Data
1. According to your interview and other resources, how does your organization collect data on this quality indicator?
2. How does the organization disseminate aggregate data?
3. What role do nurses play in supporting accurate reporting and high-quality results?
- As an example, consider the importance of accurately entering data regarding nursing interventions.
Enhancing Outcomes:
1. Explain how your health care organization uses nursing-sensitive quality indicators to enhance patient safety, patient care outcomes, and organizational performance reports.
2. Describe how a nursing-sensitive quality indicator establishes evidence-based practice guidelines for nurses to follow when using patient care technologies to enhance patient safety, satisfaction, and outcomes.
After building your presentation in PowerPoint, Keynote, Slides, Canva, or another presentation platform, practice delivering your tutorial several times before recording. When you record your presentation be sure your slides are visible in the recording. Important: Record your narrated presentation in Kaltura. (Do not record and submit the narration in PowerPoint because your file will become too large to upload.)
Additional Requirements
- Communication: Deliver a professional, effective tutorial on a selected quality indicator that engages new nurses and motivates them to accurately report quality data in a timely fashion.
- Length: 8-10 minute recording. Use Kaltura to record the narration and upload your recording to the courseroom or provide a working link your instructor can access.
- Script: A separate document with the script or speaker's notes is required. Important: Submissions that do not include the script or speaker's notes will be returned as a non-performance.
- References: Cite a minimum of three scholarly and/or authoritative sources.
- APA: Submit, along with the recording, a separate reference page that follows APA style and formatting guidelines. For an APA refresher, consult the Evidence and APA page on Campus.
