Pain Management

Prepare an 8 pages data analysis and quality improvement initiative proposal based on a health issue of professional interest to you. The audience for your analysis and proposal is the nursing staff and the interprofessional team who will implement the initiative.

In this assessment, you will propose a quality improvement (QI) initiative proposal based on a health issue of professional interest to you. The QI initiative proposal will be based on an analysis of dashboard metrics from a health care facility.

If you have access to dashboard metrics related to a QI initiative proposal of interest to you:

  • Analyze data from the health care facility to identify a health care issue or area of concern. You will need access to reports and data related to care quality and patient safety.
  • You will need to identify basic information about the health care setting, size, and specific type of care delivery related to the topic that you identify. You are expected to abide by HIPAA compliance standards.
  • You may use the hospital data set provided in the media piece titled Vila Health: Data Analysis. You will analyze the data to identify a health care issue or area of concern.

 

Scenerio:  Vila Health

Introduction

Quality improvement initiatives are a critical tool in the ongoing effort to improve patient care at health care organizations. But without data, many QI initiatives would fail — or the problem behind them might never be detected. That’s why data, and the dashboards that present data in a comprehensible fashion, are essential for QI efforts to succeed.

In this activity, you will assume the role of a quality assurance analyst at St. Anthony Medical Center. You will be offered both a dataset that you can use to outline a quality improvement initiative, and input from stakeholders who can help you contextualize the data.

 

Having met with some stakeholders, you should now have a solid understanding of what the data you gathered is telling you. You should be able to use this information to complete your assignment in the course.

 

The numbered points below correspond to grading criteria in the scoring guide. The bullets below each grading criterion further delineate tasks to fulfill the assessment requirements. Be sure that your Quality Improvement Initiative Evaluation addresses all of the content below. You may also want to read the scoring guide to better understand the performance levels that relate to each grading criterion.
