    Scenarios The following scenarios represent real-life examples of quality improv

    Scenarios The following scenarios represent real-life examples of quality improvement tools (FMEA, PDSA, and RCA). You will select one scenario related to each quality improvement tool (FMEA, PDSA, and RCA) to complete this assignment. FMEA Scenario A: The medication administration process in the pediatric office where you work has become quite cumbersome with the addition of two new pediatricians. Additionally, the office recently added vaccine administration for pediatric patients. However, some parents took their children to the health department for vaccine administration. Staff are looking for ways to reduce the risk of administering the wrong medication. Scenario B: During a recent hospital merger, the birthing services of two hospitals were combined and located at one hospital. While the risk of infant abduction is statistically low, the newly formed hospital wants to ensure that the combined organizations have the safest environment possible for caring for newborns and limit the risk of infant abduction. PDSA Scenario A: In the skilled nursing faculty where you work, the incidence of pressure areas has increased. When you work on the weekends, you find that the preventative measures (heel boots, offloading pressure mattresses) are available but not frequently used. Scenario B: Patient satisfaction scores have remained unimproved related to patients who report that staff “always” explained about medicines before administering the medication. The nursing department believes they have a new process that will improve this patient satisfaction metric. RCA Scenario A A patient determined to be a fall risk was receiving care without any prevention strategies in place. The patient fell, suffered a subdural hematoma, and went to surgery for a craniotomy. Scenario B A patient underwent significant abdominal surgery and later was found to have a retained sponge in the abdominal cavity when they were readmitted with pain and sepsis. Directions From the Scenario list, choose one scenario for each QI tool (FMEA, PDSA, RCA). Use your chosen scenarios to complete the Module Two Activity Template, linked in the What to Submit section. Complete a comparison of QI tools using the details of your chosen scenarios. For each tool, identify a change theory that you feel best applies. You must cite at least two current scholarly sources. To be considered current, scholarly sources must have been published within the last five years. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Part One: FMEA QI Tool: Describe the FMEA QI tool associated with your chosen scenario. Consider the following in the response: The unique characteristics of the QI tool Situations for application of the QI tool The steps that may be included as part of the QI tool Purpose: Explain the purpose of the FMEA QI tool as it relates to your chosen scenario. Include the following in the response: A rationalization for the appropriateness of the QI tool to your chosen scenario Key connections between the scenario and the QI tool Change Theory: Discuss a change theory that would apply to your chosen FMEA scenario.

    Step 1: Review the response to Exercise 2 listed below.
    “According to the Agency for Healthcare Research (2022), safety, efficiency, patient-centered, timeliness, efficiency, and equity are the six domains to ensure the best quality is provided to patients. Healthcare organizations, including healthcare management, must strive to meet these objectives to create a positive experience for the patients and the overall organizational culture. Failure to provide quality care can lead to unwanted, negative consequences such as distrust of the healthcare providers and or the company.
    An excellent quality experience I had was during the process of establishing my son with a new pediatrician. My child’s previous provider was moving to a new clinic. Therefore, I had to be assigned a new pediatrician that was covered by our insurance. When the new pediatrician’s office called me to schedule the new patient appointment, they realized my child’s birthday was in a few weeks. Once they became aware of that, they discussed with me the option of scheduling the new patient appointment and the three-year checkup, at the same time. This choice was more effective for me and the clinic as we could get two appointments done at once. The decision also allowed me to only take one trip into town and make it accessible for my husband to attend.
    Additionally, the excellent quality continued during the appointment. When the nurse was reviewing our information, she realized my child’s vaccination records were never uploaded by the previous pediatrician. I was able to find a copy of the vaccinations and she uploaded each vaccine and printed me a copy to verify that they were uploaded successfully. Upon doing so, she noticed two vaccines from his two months were missing. However, I knew my child had his two-month vaccines in a different clinic out of state. When I informed the nurse, she trusted me and asked for the previous clinic’s information so she could retrieve my child’s record. When we met the new pediatrician, the great experience continued. They were thorough in reviewing my child’s record, listening to the concerns we had, and providing us with a referral we had asked for before but never received.
    Consequently, the negative quality experience I had was realizing our previous pediatrician clinic never submitted my child’s vaccine record. Their lack of attention to detail, made me lose trust in their ability to provide thorough patient care. Specifically, because the record I provided, was missing two vaccines and I was completely unaware. Furthermore, during another visit, my child had been submitted as the wrong gender which resulted in the incorrect growth chart being calculated. Although I am no longer a part of their system, I would not recommend any family to the clinic because I could not feel confident in their quality of care.
    Management had a significant influence on both the excellent quality and the negative quality received. Patrice Spath states that management is responsible for how the organizational activities are “designed, carried out, coordinated, and improved” (2022). A strong organizational management can ensure that patients have excellent quality experience. However, if management does not provide top leadership to their employees, the organizational structure becomes compromised and results in poor patient care.”
    Step 2: Review three systems models presented in chapter 3:
    Three Core Process Model
    Interconnected Systems Model
    The Baldrige Performance Excellence Program Framework
    Step 3: Choose the model you can best relate to at this time.
    Step 4: Look at both your excellent experience and your poor experience, paying particular attention to how you described the manager’s role or influence. Transfer what you wrote about the manager’s role or influence to your paper.
    Step 5: Now, think about those experiences from the perspective of the systems model you chose in question 3. Describe any additional insights gained about this experience by viewing it in the context of the systems perspective represented by the model.
    Write a 2-page APA formatted paper by answering the questions listed above.
