Assignment-
Chapter two finishes with a brief discussion on the human side of change. Experience has shown the team assembled to drive the change can “make or break” a good QI project. Yet, today’s healthcare workers can be extremely busy with regular work, let alone find the time to participate in a QI project. This is a very real -and frequent- challenge for QI professionals.
Assume you work in the Emergency Room department at a local hospital. Customer/patient surveys have indicated very low patient experience scores on several criteria. In your role as QI agent, You’ve been tasked with improving the situation.
Answer the following-
1) Describe the approach you might take to pull together an effective QI team from staff who might already feel overworked.
2) Describe how you could leverage process data and observations to convince them to get involved in the QI efforts?
Note to remember: the ability to measure the targeted improvement is a fundamental aspect of any good QI project and answers one of the three primary questions for a QI project: “How will we know we’ve made an improvement?”
But data alone is impersonal and seldom a convincing tool for engagement without a good interpretation. It’s the QI change agent’s role to “tell the story” using process data in order to make a convincing argument for change. Data that effectively reveals the need and opportunity for improvement can be a huge lever to bringing process owners on board.

Envision that you are a hospital informatics director, and your organization is deciding on which type of consent model to adopt, which will be the foundation for how patient information is shared from the Electronic Health Record (EHR) with a regional Health Information Exchange (HIE). In a well-written research paper, you will critically evaluate a suitable consent model of your choosing (pg. 60 Zhou and Clack) while considering the concepts of patient privacy and control.

Assessment 04 – Informatics and Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators For this assessment, you will prepare an 8–10 minute audio training tutorial (video is optional) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. Before you complete the detailed instructions in the courseroom, first review the Nursing- Sensitive Quality Indicators below and select the one you’re most interested in. Nursing- Sensitive Quality Indicators reflect the structure, process, and patient outcomes of nursing care. Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators are developed by identifying potential indicators that reflect nursing care and are not represented by current indicators, performing a literature review, and determining the validity of the potential indicator in nursing practice. After you select one of the Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators below, return to the courseroom to review the detailed instructions and complete your assessment. • Incidence of Hospital-Acquired Infections – Outcome. • Patient Falls Without Injury – Process. • Restraint Use Duration – Process and Outcome. • Staffing Levels – Structure. • Nursing Care Hours Per Patient Day by Registered Nurses With a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Degree – Structure. Next, imagine you are a member of a Quality Improvement Council at any type of health care system, whether acute, ambulatory, home health, 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 indicates a recording is preferable to a written fact sheet due to the popularity of audio blogs. In this way, new hires can listen to the tutorial on their own time using their phone or other device. As a result of this need, you offer to create an audio tutorial orienting new hires to these topics. You know that you will need a script to guide your audio recording. You also plan to incorporate into your script 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 audio tutorial script: Introduction: Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicator What is the National Database of Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators? What are nursing-sensitive quality indicators? Which particular quality indicator did you select to address in your tutorial? 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. Why do new nurses need to be familiar with this particular quality indicator when providing patient care? Collection and Distribution of Quality Indicator Data According to your interview and other resources, how does your organization collect data on this quality indicator? How does the organization disseminate aggregate data? 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.

Your paper should meet the following structural requirements: Be six pages in length, not including the title or references pages. Be formatted according to APA 7th edition and Saudi Electronic University writing guidelines. Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of six scholarly articles. Tips for Success for Critical Thinking Assignment 1. Introduction: Start by introducing tobacco use as a public health concern globally and in Saudi Arabia. Mention key statistics, like the 7 million global deaths annually and 70,000 deaths among Saudis, to highlight the urgency of the issue. Introduce the policy you selected for analysis. 2. Specific Age Groups Impacted by Tobacco Use in Saudi Arabia: Break down (usage trends ) by age group (youth, adults, and elderly) using available data. For example: Smoking prevalence among youth aged 13-15 and the rising use of e-cigarettes. High rates of tobacco use among adult men compared to women. Discuss age-specific consequences, such as increased long-term risks for youth and chronic diseases among adults. 3. Role of Public Health Organizations: Explore the work of local and international public health organizations: Saudi Ministry of Health and its efforts through anti-smoking campaigns. World Health Organization’s (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and its guidance for Saudi policies. Highlight programs such as tobacco quitlines, smoking cessation clinics, or awareness campaigns targeting youth. 4. Impact of the Policy on Tobacco Prevention: Discuss the specific objectives of the chosen policy—for example, bans on public smoking or taxation on tobacco products. Provide data or research findings on the policy’s effectiveness in reducing smoking rates. Explain how the policy could help reduce health risks, such as lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory issues, by lowering tobacco consumption. 5. Social Issues Concerning the Policy Implementation: Analyze cultural and social challenges that may arise during the policy’s implementation: Cultural norms around smoking among men or resistance from tobacco companies. Economic concerns, such as the impact of taxes on low-income individuals or businesses relying on tobacco sales. Mention any public resistance or misinformation about e-cigarettes or smoking bans. Consider religious or community leaders’ roles in supporting or opposing tobacco control measures. 6. Conclusion: Summarize the key points and emphasize the importance of tobacco prevention policies in improving public health. Suggest future recommendations, such as further policy reforms, public awareness campaigns, or collaborations with international organizations. Additional Tips: Use credible sources to support your arguments (e.g., WHO reports, Itumalla & Aldhmadi, 2020). Include data or case studies to illustrate the impact of policies. Avoid generalizations—be specific about the policy you analyze. Ensure clear structure with headings for each section to improve readability.
