Module 2 Discussion
Quality and Safety Literature Review Topic Submission
Literature Review Topic Submission
Here is where you will choose your topic for the literature review. You can select a topic of interest that reflects a patient/client quality safety issue. Examples could include but not be limited to falls, HAC, peri-op issues, nutritional needs of long-term residents or clinical documentation. Remember to think outside of nursing – it is a systems issue that you want to address. Also, look at Chapter 8 even though we have not read it yet – it highlights some potential risks.
The topic you selected needs to be submitted to the discussion below.
This topic will then be approved (or not approved) by the course professor below.

Second – Discussion:
We all have watched medical shows on TV and said, “That is not how it is done in the real world.” Or we may relate a specific scene to something that has occurred in our own workplace.
Team 1 with your knowledge from the chapter related to surveillance, what have you seen on a television program or video clip, that was not being done correctly? Using YouTube, find a video clip that depicts a scene showing something in healthcare that does not meet quality and safety standards. Paste the link to your initial discussion post with a brief narration about the video and what is not meeting quality standards for safe, effective healthcare to occur. Remember to include your knowledge from the chapter related to surveillance. Identify the major area the quality issue falls under (Point of Care, Fragmentation of Care or Variation of Care). Due by Wednesday by 11:55 PM
Team 2 utilizing the literature on the identified safety topic what is the (1) overall magnitude of the problem in healthcare and relative to other healthcare issues, (2) is the identified problem increasing or decreasing in incidence, (3) which patient groups or care areas are most affected and therefore most in need of resources and (4) finally what would be your CQI plan to improve the delivery of care. Respond to two different peers. (Respond to someone with less than 2 posts, so everyone gets a response). Due by Friday at 11:55 PM

Module 4 Assignment
Quality and Safety Literature Review
Upon completion of this assignment, you will be able to
Examine how the different theories, models, and approaches can help healthcare workers create a culture of quality care. (MO 1)
Appraise the process for assessing and planning to implement a culture of safety that is measured through continuous quality improvement (CQI) initiatives. (MO 2)

Assignment Overview:
The Quality and Safety Literature Review provides the student the opportunity to appraise the current literature on a particular quality & safety topic that examines substantive findings, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions in the area being researched. It will begin to form the framework for the CQI Risk Management Project.
Writing Assignment Guidelines:
First, select a topic of interest that reflects a patient/client quality safety issue. Examples could include but not limited to falls, HAC, peri-op issues, nutritional needs of long-term residents or clinical documentation. Remember to think outside of nursing – it is a systems issue that you want to address and not place blame on one discipline or team member. Also, look at Chapter 8 even though we have not read it yet – it highlights some potential risks.
* Topics need to be approved by the course professor. The goal is to assure different topics will be addressed to provide diversity for week 8 CQI Project Presentation.
Theoretically, why is this topic a quality safety concern? How does it impact the patient/client? What is being said about your selected quality safety issue on the national, state, and local level?
Research what is being reported on the topic in the literature and in the documents/reports from the agencies you have read about in the first few modules of the course. Identify national or state benchmarks or other institution rates that pertain to your topic. This will allow you to compare your agencies or institutions performance to these outside benchmarks.
What is the literature saying regarding the methodology of the quality safety concern? From the literature and relevant agencies, reflect on what they are reporting is being done to address the issue. The paper should be 7 to 10 pages not including the title and reference page. For grading criteria, review the Utica College NUR Writing Rubric located in the Assignment Support section.
