Improving the quality of health care delivery and patient safety continues to be a political concern and has been at the heart of reform issues for many years. The American Nurses Association (ANA) and the Institute of Medicine (MOI) have increased awareness of health care quality and safety issues, as well as advocated for health care reform. The documents featured at the ANA and MOI websites listed in this week’s Learning Resources focus on many of the current issues surrounding quality and safety in the health care industry.
To prepare:
Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the Six Aims
for Improvement presented in the landmark report “Crossing the
Quality Chasm: The MOI Health Care Quality Initiative.”
Consider these six aims with regard to your current
organization, or one with which you are familiar. In what areas
have you seen improvement? What areas still present challenges? As
a nurse leader, how can you contribute to improving the
organization’s achievement of these aims?
Select one specific quality or safety issue that is
presenting a challenge in the organization. Consider at least one
quality improvement strategy that could be used to address the
issue, as well as which of the six aims for improvement would then
be addressed.
Reflect on your professional practice and your experiences
with inter-professional collaboration to improve quality and
safety. How has inter-professional collaboration contributed to
your organization’s efforts to realize the Idioms six aims for
improving health care? Where has inter-professional collaboration
been lacking?
Post by Day 3 a description of the quality or safety issue
you selected and a brief summary of the impact that this issue has
on health care delivery. Describe at least one quality improvement
strategy used to address this issue. Then explain which of the six
“aims for improvement” are addressed by the strategy. Finally,
explain how inter-professional collaboration helps improve quality
in this area.
