4-Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is defined by the American Society for Quality (ASQ) as “a philosophy and attitude for analyzing capabilities and processes and improving them repeatedly to achieve customer satisfaction”. (Huber 292) CQI is something that is relevant to all nurses as we all need to be responsible for continual improvement at work. As professionals we should always have this as a top priority. There are many challenges in the workplace, and by looking for ways to improve, we are constantly learning and growing as a profession, this is a large piece of evidence-based practice, which is something we all hold as a standard in healthcare today. An example of how I would apply CQI in my current position working as a nurse circulator in the operating room, is to ensure that the time out procedure is followed every single case I circulate. This is important as we often get complacent in rules and regulations, as do surgeons that we are trying to keep happy as they are customers just as much as our patients are. I had circulated a case with another nurse during orientation in which not all implants for a total knee replacement were in the room. I was not notified of this until after the case started, the patient was anesthetized, and time out had been completed though this requirement was not stated/asked. Later the rep for the implants then stated the implants were in route from another location. This is unacceptable, and I am glad that I was still in orientation at the time this occurred as it was a great learning experience for me. I learned how to write an incident report that day, and why the time out procedure is so important. Resources Huber, Diane. Leadership and Nursing Care Management, 5th Edition . Saunders, 10/2013. VitalBook file. 5-Health care delivery requires structure (staff, education, equipment, prospective data collection), and process (policies, procedure, protocols), which when integrated provide a system (programs, organizations, cultures) leading to outcomes (patient safety, quality, satisfaction). An effective health care system has all of these elements – structure, process, system, and patient outcomes in a framework of continuous quality improvement, or CQI (Kronich et al., 2015). The purpose of QCI is to improve health care by identifying problems, implementing and monitoring corrective action and evaluating its effectiveness. Hospitals use a specific process to find areas in the health care delivery system that need improvement. When an area has been found, staff develop and implement strategies for improvement. General areas that are being studied include access to care, continuity of care, the intake process upon admission, emergency care, and adverse patient events, including all deaths (National Commission on Correctional Care, 2018). In my previous position, working as a NICU RN, we initially did not use two RN’s to verify the content in the TPN-bags for each patient. Shortly after I ...

Implementation of an Evidence-Based
Patient Safety Team to Prevent Falls
in Inpatient Medical Units
T
he Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services identified
falls as a preventable health
care acquired condition (DuPree,
Fritz-Campiz, & Musheno, 2014). A
large portion of the medical-surgical
inpatient population is aging, and
therefore at high risk for falls (Boltz,
Capezuti, Wagner, Rosen berg, &
Secic, 2013). Falls have physical and
emotional implications for patients,
as well as increased financial costs for
facilities. Nationally, medical units
have the highest rates of falls
(Bouldin et al., 2013). Most notably,
falls can cause significant injuries
resulting in increased length of stay,
unexpected surgeries, and even death
(Williams, Szekendi, & Thomas,
2014). Historically medical-surgical
nurses care for a mix of complex
patients with an array of comorbidi-
ties and patient needs (Carter &
Burnette, 2011).
Literature Review
The literature search was limited
to keyword searches on falls, team-
work, patient safety, nursing, hourly
rounding, and communication. Data -
bases included PubMed, EBSCO,
Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality, CINAHL, and The Joint
Commission for years 2008-2014.
Use of fall prevention teams was an
emerging evidence-based practice
(EBP) intervention to decrease the
incidence of inpatient falls (Graham,
2012). Consistently, the evidence
demonstrated ineffective communi-
cation, situation awareness, team-
work, assessment, hourly rounding,
and environmental challenges as key
factors related to preventable inpa-
tient falls.

Quality Circle.docx
Quality circles originated in Japan after World War II and were inspired by W. Edwards Deming. Quality circles involve voluntary small groups of 6-12 employees who meet regularly to identify improvements in their work area. In healthcare, quality circles are used to (1) identify outstanding features of care, (2) identify obstacles to change, and (3) identify the need for more research. Examples of using quality circles in healthcare include reducing hospital-acquired infections, improving job satisfaction, and enhancing communication.
Introduction to Nursing Process.pptx
The nursing process is a systematic method used by nurses to plan and provide individualized patient care. It involves 5 steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The nursing process helps nurses identify patient health issues, develop care plans, enact solutions, and determine the effectiveness of the care provided. It was first described in 1955 and provides an organized framework to ensure high quality, efficient care centered around a patient's unique needs.
Health Assessment Of The Nursing Process And Nursing Models
The nursing process involves assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care. It is the foundation of nursing practice and ensures patient needs are met. For a patient with malignant melanoma, the nurse would assess factors like medical history and skin exam results. Based on this, the nurse would plan care and set goals. They would then implement interventions like wound care or patient education. Finally, the nurse would evaluate if goals were achieved and the patient's condition improved. The nursing process guides holistic, evidence-based care for the patient using critical thinking skills.

Nursing Process
The nursing process consists of four distinct phases: assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation. Each phase plays a discreet role in the process and follows logically from one to the next. The phases ensure maximum well-being of the patient and allow the nurse to be aware of necessary actions. The key stages include assessing the patient, diagnosing any issues, planning care, implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes.

This document discusses improving nurses' involvement in decision making using Kurt Lewin's three stage change theory of unfreezing, movement, and refreezing. The change would be tested using the PDSA model and occur first on one unit of a nursing home. Nurses would participate in empowerment programs to prepare them for decision making involvement through education and staff meetings. Outcomes like job satisfaction, retention, patient outcomes would be measured. Currently there is a top-down communication approach and lack of staff input. The change aims to increase interactions between leaders and staff for improved job satisfaction, productivity and patient outcomes.

Improving Ambulatory Clinic Workflow
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center implemented a process improvement project in their Head and Neck Surgery Clinic to address high patient volumes. They combined a primary nursing model with a team approach, assigning consistent staff to specific patient "pods". Initial data collection found the average time to room a patient was 47 minutes and average visit length was 102 minutes. After implementing the new model, time to room a patient decreased by 15 minutes (32%) and average length of stay decreased by 18 minutes (17%). Patient satisfaction also increased from 91.67% to 96.07%. The hybrid primary nursing and team model improved clinic workflow and patient and staff satisfaction.

Nursing Process Essay
The nursing process consists of five phases: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Assessment involves collecting both subjective and objective data to establish a database about the patient's health status and needs. Diagnosis involves analyzing the data to determine nursing diagnoses. Planning involves establishing measurable goals and expected outcomes. Implementation involves carrying out the planned nursing interventions. Evaluation involves determining if the goals and outcomes were achieved in order to revise the plan if needed. The nursing process provides an organized framework to guide nursing care and develop clinical reasoning and judgment skills.

Centering is a group model of healthcare that provides prenatal care, well-child care, and health education to groups of 8-12 patients with similar due dates or ages. It aims to improve health outcomes and patient and provider satisfaction. The document discusses lessons learned from practices that implement both CenteringPregnancy for prenatal care and CenteringParenting for postpartum and well-child care up to age 2. Key factors for successful implementation of both models include engaging a steering committee, designating a coordinator, adopting an opt-out approach for CenteringParenting, and cross-training providers. Health outcomes data from dual model sites show improvements such as lower preterm birth rates and higher breastfeeding rates.
The Nursing Process
The nursing process provides a framework for assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating care for patients. A nurse uses this process to care for Jean Rogers, a 69-year-old woman with progressive dementia and incontinence issues. The nurse assesses Jean's needs and develops a care plan focusing on incontinence management using the Roper-Logan-Tierney model. Interventions such as toileting routines, absorbent products, and caregiver education aim to promote Jean's dignity and independence while supporting her husband in the caregiving role. Ongoing evaluation will monitor the effectiveness of the care plan.

Nursing Process Essay
The nursing process consists of five phases: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Assessment involves collecting both subjective and objective data to establish a database about the patient's health status and needs. Diagnosis involves analyzing the data to determine nursing diagnoses. Planning involves establishing measurable goals and expected outcomes. Implementation involves carrying out the planned nursing interventions. Evaluation involves determining if the goals and outcomes were achieved in order to revise the plan if needed. The nursing process provides an organized framework to guide nursing care and develop clinical reasoning and judgment skills.
AMCHP-Poster_Final
Centering is a group model of healthcare that provides prenatal care, well-child care, and health education to groups of 8-12 patients with similar due dates or ages. It aims to improve health outcomes and patient and provider satisfaction. The document discusses lessons learned from practices that implement both CenteringPregnancy for prenatal care and CenteringParenting for postpartum and well-child care up to age 2. Key factors for successful implementation of both models include engaging a steering committee, designating a coordinator, adopting an opt-out approach for CenteringParenting, and cross-training providers. Health outcomes data from dual model sites show improvements such as lower preterm birth rates and higher breastfeeding rates.
The Nursing Process
The nursing process provides a framework for assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating care for patients. A nurse uses this process to care for Jean Rogers, a 69-year-old woman with progressive dementia and incontinence issues. The nurse assesses Jean's needs and develops a care plan focusing on incontinence management using the Roper-Logan-Tierney model. Interventions such as toileting routines, absorbent products, and caregiver education aim to promote Jean's dignity and independence while supporting her husband in the caregiving role. Ongoing evaluation will monitor the effectiveness of the care plan.

You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.
An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient's file. As part of Three Mountains' initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient's wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure.
Introduction:

Recent Developments in Lifelong Learning
Karl Steffens
Introduction
We think of our societies as ‘knowledge societies’ in which lifelong learning is
becoming increasingly important. Lifelong learning refers to the idea that people
not only learn in schools and universities, but also in non-formal and informal
ways during their lifespan.The concepts of lifelong learning and lifelong education
began to enter the discourse on educational policies in the late 1960s (Tuijnman
& Boström, 2002). However, these are related, but distinct concepts. As Lee (2014,
p. 472) notes ‘the terminological change (from lifelong education, continuing
education and adult education, to lifelong learning) reflects a conceptual departure
from the idea of organised educational provision to that of a more individualised
pursuit of learning’.
One of the first important documents on lifelong learning was the report of the
International Commission on the Development of Education to UNESCO in
1972, titled ‘Learning to be. The world of education today and tomorrow’. In his
introductory letter to the Director-General of UNESCO, the chairman of the
Commission, Edgar Faure, stated that the work of the Commission was based on
four assumptions (see Elfert pp. and Carneiro pp. in this issue). The first was
related to the idea that there was an international community which was united by
common aspirations and the second was the belief in democracy and in education
as its keystones. The third was ‘that the aim of development is the complete
fulfilment of man, in all the richness of his personality, the complexity of his forms
of expression and his various commitments — as individual, member of a family
and of a community, citizen and producer, inventor of techniques and creative
dreamer’. The last assumption was that ‘only an over-all, lifelong education can
produce the kind of complete man, the need for whom is increasing with the
continually more stringent constraints tearing the individual asunder’ (Faure,
1972, p. vi).
Following the Faure Report, the UNESCO Institute for Education, which
was founded in Germany in 1951, started to focus on lifelong learning and
subsequently became the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL, http://
uil.unesco.org/home/). It was under its leadership that a formal model of lifelong
education was developed and published in the book ‘Towards a System of Life-
long Education’ (Cropley, 1980). The concept of lifelong learning also became
manifest in the ‘Education for All’ (EFA) agenda that was launched at the World
Conference on Education for All which took place in Jomtien (Thailand) in
1990 (Inter-Agency Commission, 1990). Ten years later, at the World Education
Forum in Dakar (Senegal) in 2000, the Dakar Framework for Action was
designed ‘to enable all individuals to realize their right to learn and to fulfil their
responsibility to contribute to the development of their society’ (UNESCO,
2000, p..

Introduction
Base Salary Range
For the position of VP of Operations, the National Average Salary is $122,624. In San Francisco, the average is higher and placed at $155,946. This amount is 16% higher than the National Average (Payscale, 2016). The reason for this increase is because of experience and geography. These are the two prime factors that impact the pay scale. Another major factor is the employer. Most employers base their decision to hire an individual on the experience they bring with them. Of course, with more experience, higher pay is required. With our company cutting cost a less experienced individual would be the best fit for the position.
Standard Employee Benefit
In many cases, your employee benefits could be the turning point for a prospective employee. This benefit is a vital portion of any employee packet. These valuable benefits are used as a blanket of security in the case of any sickness, injury, unemployment, old age, or death (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin & Cardy, 2015, p. 362). There is a significant difference between incentives and benefits: benefits are financial and nonfinancial compensations that are indirect to the employee. To have a competitive strategy Blossoms Up! must align their profits with the compensation package that has been already put in place. This action will help provide flexibility to the amount and the benefits available (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are also some benefits that most companies are legally obligated to provide. Three benefits are required regardless of the number of employees that the company has. These interests involve social security, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Other laws must be adhered to when dealing with a certain number of individuals. When a company has 50 or more employee they must have the Family and Medical Leave Act in place and since its induction in 2015 the Affordable Care Act for Health Insurance for companies with 20 or more employees. For the health insurance to be considered standard medical, vision and dental plans must be made available to the business. These programs that must be regarded as being under the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are some voluntary benefits that we can include. We are already looking into adding a pension package using the Defined Contribution Plan as well as the 401(K) plan (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Life insurance is another excellent benefit that could be added to the package as well as short-term and long-term disability insurance. Adding Vacation and PTO, and Holiday pay is .

The document discusses the importance of physical security for computer and network security. It notes that physical access negates all other security measures, as an attacker can directly access systems if they have physical proximity. It outlines several ways an attacker could exploit physical access, such as using bootable media like LiveCDs to access tools and directly image hard drives. The document emphasizes that physical security is foundational and must be carefully designed and implemented to protect against unauthorized access to systems and data.

4-Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is defined by the America
- 1. 4-Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is defined by the American Society for Quality (ASQ) as “a philosophy and attitude for analyzing capabilities and processes and improving them repeatedly to achieve customer satisfaction”. (Huber 292) CQI is something that is relevant to all nurses as we all need to be responsible for continual improvement at work. As professionals we should always have this as a top priority. There are many challenges in the workplace, and by looking for ways to improve, we are constantly learning and growing as a profession, this is a large piece of evidence-based practice, which is something we all hold as a standard in healthcare today. An example of how I would apply CQI in my current position working as a nurse circulator in the operating room, is to ensure that the time out procedure is followed every single case I circulate. This is important as we often get complacent in rules and regulations, as do surgeons that we are trying to keep happy as they are customers just as much as our patients are. I had circulated a case with another nurse during orientation in which not all implants for a total knee replacement were in the room. I was not notified of this until after the case started, the patient was anesthetized, and time out had been completed though this requirement was not stated/asked. Later the rep for the implants then stated the implants were in route from another location. This is unacceptable, and I am glad that I was still in orientation at the time this occurred as it was a great learning experience for me. I learned how to write an incident report that day, and why the time out procedure is so important. Resources

VitalBook file. 5-Health care delivery requires structure (staff, education, equipment, prospective data collection), and process (policies, procedure, protocols), which when integrated provide a system (programs, organizations, cultures) leading to outcomes (patient safety, quality, satisfaction). An effective health care system has all of these elements – structure, process, system, and patient outcomes in a framework of continuous quality improvement, or CQI (Kronich et al., 2015). The purpose of QCI is to improve health care by identifying problems, implementing and monitoring corrective action and evaluating its effectiveness. Hospitals use a specific process to find areas in the health care delivery system that need improvement. When an area has been found, staff develop and implement strategies for improvement. General areas that are being studied include access to care, continuity of care, the intake process upon admission, emergency care, and adverse patient events, including all deaths (National Commission on Correctional Care, 2018). In my previous position, working as a NICU RN, we initially did not use two RN’s to verify the content in the TPN-bags for each patient. Shortly after I started working at this facility, this change was implemented. The purpose was to catch medical errors from pharmacy that sadly was occurring more frequently. This new process of reading labels with another RN while verifying the content with the document from pharmacy, and then hanging the TPN required more time in the nurses’ day. In addition, all this was done toward the end of day-shift around 1730. This process resulted in stress among the RN’s and often

By working together and brainstorming solutions, everyone was satisfied in the end; quality of care was improved, and the nurses were able to finish their duties in time.

I think rapid response teams are a must in facilities. according to patient safety primer .gov Rapid response teams represent an intuitively simple concept: When a patient demonstrates signs of imminent clinical deterioration, a team of providers is summoned to the bedside to immediately assess and treat the patient with the goal of preventing intensive care unit transfer, cardiac arrest, or death (psnet.ahrq.gov). I also agree with your staement about the lean

When we are effective communicators and work as a team in our settings, we will definietly be more productive and work loads can be reduced, less stress in the workplace, etc. Team work is amazing when it is used the way it was intended to. Evryone working together to achieve a common goal is also important. If everyone is not on the same page, then this is where conflict can areise. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed reading your post!
