For many years, processes to ensure quality patient care and employee satisfacti

For many years, processes to ensure quality patient care and employee satisfaction have been in place. You might hear these processes referred to as Quality Assurance (QA), Quality Management (QM), Total Quality Management (TQM), Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), and Performance Improvement (PI). The strategy is to chose an indicator to be monitored, collect data, analyze the data, and make improvements where necessary by educating employees, upgrading technology, changing products, etc. Typically, data is collected and measured monthly and graphed for easy viewing of improvement or areas in need of improvement. These charts are taken to committees or PI teams to analyze and formulate action plans for improvement in deficient areas. An indicator must be measurable and thresholds must be established using best practices or guidance from regulations. Chart audits are conducted routinely to measure the indicators for PI. Surveys are given to measure some processes while some might be measured by direct observation. Tools, such as checklists and computer software, are used to collect data. After reading the textbook chapters and PI (performance improvement) lecture this week and after researching current, credible sources related to PI in a healthcare setting, pick 3 quality measures/indicators listed on the AHRQ (Agency for Research and Quality) website: https://www.ahrq.gov/talkingquality/measures/setting/hospitals/examples.html Then, in 1-2 pages, discuss the importance of performance improvement (PI) in the provision of quality health care and to a safe environment for all. Refer to the PI chart below, and include how your data will be specifically collected for meaningful measurement and why you chose thresholds for acceptable compliance (%). Download the basic PI chart as seen below, by clicking here. Complete the basic performance improvement (PI) chart using fictional data depicting end results of the quality measures you chose. Complete quarterly compliance percentages as well as action plans for data that presented a problem. In the Dropbox, attach your chart as a separate document.

The Capital Budget Committee at your institution has announced a schedule of dat

The Capital Budget Committee at your institution has announced a schedule of dates, inviting leaders and managers to present their technology requests for items to be funded in the upcoming fiscal year, which runs from October 1st to September 30th. The committee has clearly defined a capital item as any product that improves outcomes, flow of care, or safety; with an expected lifespan of three years or more; and a purchase price of at least $1000.00.
As a nurse manager, you begin to consider the capital items needed for your unit. You consult with your nursing staff, physicians, and other staff on the unit. Choose one item to request funding through the capital budget process. The item can be hardware or software. The item could be an item replacing a current item or it might be a new technology item. Investigate the internet for multiple vendors of this item and provide the following information to the capital budget committee, to justify the funding of your selected item.
Prepare a Microsoft Office PowerPoint presentation with voiceover. (I will do the voice over).
Use the following Slide Guide to develop your presentation.
Slide 1: Title Slide
Your title should indicate the item you would like to purchase. For example, patient lift equipment, automated vital signs equipment, bladder ultrasound, defibrillator, etc. Slide 1 should also include your name and a visual of the product. This slide should include all components of an APA title page (except for the page number).
Slide 2: Clinical Defense
State your clinical defense, explaining the reason this item is needed. For example, if choosing to replace the telemetry monitoring system on your unit, you may cite that your current system is ten years old and that the current vendor will no longer support the service of repairs or maintenance; or that monitors with new technology have sophisticated functionality that would increase patient safety on your unit. Find quantitative stats or qualitative data to support your evidence-based clinical defense.
Slide 3: Manufacturers
Next, identify (at least) two manufacturers of your selected capital item. Review the differences/similarities in features or point out the advantages/disadvantages of each product from both manufacturers. You may arrange this over multiple slides. Include visuals of your product. Include citations to allow the reader to validate the detailed features you are listing.
Slide 4: Preference of Product
Reinforce why you selected this product. For example, the product of one manufacturer may have reviews or studies that rate their unit superior to similar products from other vendors. Include a source to establish an evidence-supported preference.
Slide 5: Financial Request
Clearly show the total dollar amount of your capital request. Display costs in a chart or table that includes all accessories, subscriiptions, maintenance charges, or other cost components. Provide any details you find about payment options. If the actual cost of the item is available, include a citation verifying the source. If you cannot find exact pricing, clearly indicate this is an “estimated cost.”
Slide 6: Justification
Lastly, end with advocacy and justify your request. Reinforce the potential positive impacts of this item. Include a source to establish an evidence-supported statement.
Slide 7: References
Provide references in APA format. You may use multiple slides to display references.
