Quality Improvement Initiative

Quality Improvement Initiative

Quality Improvement (QI) Initiative Project Description: You are an advanced practice nurse (APN) leader at a local non-profit community hospital, St. Mary’s General Hospital (this is a created hospital system and not meant to be associated with any real hospital system). You have been approached by your Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) as a leader to create and develop a hospital-wide initiative promoting Quality Improvement among nurses. This paper will focus on implementing a hospital wide QI initiative. Please follow the specific grading rubric below as this outline how you will be graded. The first section generally outlines the assignment and may provide some additional guidance on points that need additional clarification for the student above what is described in the grading rubric.  Quality Improvement Initiative

    1. Develop a hospital-wide initiative that promotes Qi engagement and skill development by nurses. The nurse leader is expected to be familiar with QI process and what is needed to ensure successful engagement by nurses within the facility. This assignment requires that students be familiar with concepts that have been introduced at the undergraduate level such as quality improvement and leadership styles and approaches. The difference at the graduate level is active engagement in learning rather than passive learning and will require the student to evaluate, analyze and develop the concepts learned at the undergraduate level. The introduction and conclusion sections are clearly outlined in the grading rubric below (refer to the grading rubric).Each section of the paper is expected to be well supported by the literature, evidence, best practice and research. This means that students are expected to integrate multiple literature sources and not rely on one source to inform the majority or even a large part of the paper. Minimally the paper should include at least 12 references but will likely include more. I check references so please make sure that the references align and are actually used to support the statements and viewpoints that you are making in the paper otherwise they fail to be ‘supporting’ evidence to back these statements and are therefore opinion and have no place in an academic graduate level paper.
    2. Few key points.
    3. Review and follow the grading rubric andmake sure that you are meeting each of the points outlined in the gradingrubric; failure to do so results in lower grade. The vaguer and morenon-specific the student is in the paper the lower the grade. The reason forthis is that vagueness suggests failure to understand the concept in the paper.Clear and detailed is not synonymous with lengthy actually detailed andsuccinct is the preferable approach because being both too brief and failing toprovide an adequate understanding of the concepts will suggest lack ofunderstanding and too lengthy and writing as much as possible hoping that youhit upon something that matches the grading rubric criteria is also failure tounderstand the concepts. Do not submit vague and nonspecific information oryour grade will reflect failure to demonstrate understanding. Failure to followthe grading rubric will result in a non-passing grade and you have 1opportunity to submit assignments in this class, refer to the syllabus forgrading policy and submissions guidelines.
    4. For instance, the background and significancesection outline clearly the following in the grading rubric: Identifiesand describes quality improvement (QI); its importance to healthcarefacilities, patients, and stakeholders. How this links QI to all levels ofnursing practice and specifically it’s importance to nurse leaders. What is thefirst step the nurse leader needs to take to fulfill the task assigned by theCNO with a detailed rationale that provides information about the specifictools and measures, interpretation, and application of the findings to guidethe nurse leader’s decision making about the QI initiative. This suggeststhat you are looking for a specific first step that involves a tool or measure,so that is hinting and suggesting the student should be familiar with how QI knowledge,skills and engagement are determined by a nurse leader. Quality Improvement Initiative
    5. St. Mary’s General Hospital Mission Vision &Strategic Development Plan are provided for you along with this assignmentin Blackboard under the Assignments Tab., Please make sure that you are usingthe provided document to complete the assignment when the syllabus asks thatyou align the QI initiative with St. Mary’s mission vision and strategic plan.

This assignment is to be submitted as an essay- with an introduction questions developed at the graduate level and a conclusion to summarize and synthesize key points. APA must be strictly followed. The page requirement for this project will be a MINIMUM of 10 pages not counting references and the cover page.

Social Determinants of Health

This assignment has two parts and is designed to provide you with an opportunity to analyze various portions of specific populations using the social determinants of health. You will use this skill in Section 2 when you learn how to measure the health of populations. You will also use this skill in Section 3 when you develop recommendations and plan interventions to improve health outcomes.

 

Social Determinants of Health

Part 1: Create a Basic Population Profile

Using the WHO classifications of the seven social determinants of health create a basic profile for a population., To begin define your population by race ethnicity age and geographic location (e.g. Hispanic between the ages of 25-74 living in Columbus Ohio or just Ohio)., Further identify this population by each of the seven social determinants of health. ,A few descriptive guidelines (with examples) are provided to assist you in this identification process.

  An education level (less than high school, high school, college, graduate school)

  Income level (low, middle, high)

  Physical environment (rural, urban, suburban)

  Social support network (family, single parent, friends)

  Genetics (does ethnicity or race affect your population)

  Health Services (access to both medical and preventive health services)

  Gender (male, female, other

Once this first step of creating a population profile is completed, consider the following and defend your response:

  • Identify the social determinant that has the most negative impact on your population’s health and the social determinant that has the most positive impact on your population’s health.
  • What action or actions would you take to improve the social determinant that has the most negative impact? Social Determinants of Health

This is an excellent opportunity for you to initiate the use of innovative thinking through descriptive analysis.

Part 2: Discussion Question

Respond to the following discussion question from Jonas and Kovner’s Health Care Delivery in the United States:

The Commission to Build a Healthier America found that non-Hispanic Whites were more likely to be in very good or excellent health than were other groups nationally and in almost every state. In addition, non-Hispanic Whites had better health status than adults in any other racial or ethnic group at every level of education, but all groups showed a gradient in health by educational level. What are some of the determinants that are likely contributing to this disparity in health between non-Hispanic Whites and other groups after controlling for different educational levels? (Knickman & Kovner, 2015, p. 120) Social Determinants of Health

Length: 2-3 pages (both parts), not including title and reference pages

References: Include a minimum of 1 scholarly resource or government website

Patients With Mood Disorders

Assessing and Diagnosing Patients With Mood Disorders

Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders; Medication-Induced Movement Disorders

 

Patients With Mood Disorders

Accurately diagnosing depressive disorders can be challenging given their periodic and, at times, cyclic nature. Some of these disorders occur in response to stressors and, depending on the cultural history of the client, may affect their decision to seek treatment. Bipolar disorders can also be difficult to properly diagnose. While clients with a bipolar or related disorder will likely have to contend with the disorder indefinitely, many find that the use of medication and evidence-based treatments have favorable outcomes.

  • Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
  • Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.
  • Identify at least three possible differential diagnoses for the patient.

Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

  • Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis?, What is the duration and severity of their symptoms?, How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?, 
  • Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment? Patients With Mood Disorders,  
  • Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses?, Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority., Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5 criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
  • Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).
