The purpose of this assessment is to better
understand the role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in enhancing quality
improvement (QI) measures that address a medication administration safety risk.
This will be within the specific context of patient safety risks at a health
care setting of your choice. You will do this by exploring the professional
guidelines and best practices for improving and maintaining patient safety in
health care settings from organizations such as QSEN and the IOM. Looking
through the lens of these professional best practices to examine the current
policies and procedures currently in place at your chosen organization and the
impact on safety measures for patients surrounding medication administration,
you will consider the role of the nurse in driving quality and safety
improvements. You will identify stakeholders in QI improvement and safety
measures as well as consider evidence-based strategies to enhance quality of
care and promote medication administration safety in the context of your chosen
health care setting.
Be sure that your plan addresses the
following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide.
Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you know what is needed for a
distinguished score.
Explain factors leading to a
specific patient-safety risk focusing on medication administration.
Explain evidence-based and
best-practice solutions to improve patient safety focusing on medication
administration and reducing costs.
Explain how nurses can help
coordinate care to increase patient safety with medication administration
and reduce costs.
Identify stakeholders with
whom nurses would coordinate to drive safety enhancements with medication
administration.
Communicate using writing
that is clear, logical, and professional, with correct grammar and
spelling, using current APA style.
