What data will you use to justify the change? How can the team achieve this change with a reasonable cost? What are the effects on the workplace? What other implementation considerations do you need to consider to ensure that the change strategy is successful?

Change Strategy

Scenario

Consider the current environment. This could be your current care setting, the care settings presented in the Vila Health: Using Evidence to Drive Improvement or Vila Health: Concept Maps as Diagnostic Tools media, or a care setting in which you are interested in working.

For the setting that you choose you will need to have a data set that depicts sub-optimal outcomes related to a clinical issue. This data could be from existing sources in the course (Vila Health: Using Evidence to Drive Improvement), a relevant data set that already exists (a data set from the case study you used as a basis for your Concept Map assessment, or from your current place of practice), or an appropriate data set that you have created yourself.

(Note: if you choose to create your own data set, check with your instructor first for approval and guidance.)

After you have selected an appropriate data set, use your understanding of the data to create at least one realistic goal (though you may create more) that will be driven by a change strategy appropriate for the environment and goal.

Potential topics for this assessment could be:

  • Consider ways to help minimize the rate of secondary infections related to the condition, disease, or disorder that you focused on for your Concept Map assessment. As a starting point you could ask yourself, “What could be changed to facilitate safety and minimize risks of infection?”
  • Consider how to help a patient experiencing traumatic stress or anxiety over hospitalization. As a starting point you could ask yourself, “How could the care environment be changed to enhance coping?”

Once you determine the change you would like to make, consider the following:

  • What data will you use to justify the change?
  • How can the team achieve this change with a reasonable cost?
  • What are the effects on the workplace?
  • What other implementation considerations do you need to consider to ensure that the change strategy is successful?
  • How does your change strategy address all aspects of the Quadruple Aim, especially the well-being of health care professionals?
  • Once the change strategy is implemented, how would you evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the care system if the desired outcomes are met?

Instructions

Your assessment submission should include a data table that illustrates the current and desired states of the clinical issue you are attempting to improve through your application of change strategies. Additionally, you will need to explain the rationale for your decisions around your chosen change strategies, as well as how the change strategies will be successfully implemented.

The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your change strategy addresses all of them. You may also want to read the Change Strategy and Implementation scoring guide and Guiding Questions: Change Strategy and Implementation [DOCX] to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.

  • Develop a data table that accurately reflects the current and desired states of one or more clinical outcomes.
  • Propose change strategies that will help to achieve the desired state of one or more clinical outcomes.
  • Justify the specific change strategies used to achieve desired outcomes.
  • Explain how change strategies will lead to quality improvement with regard to safety and equitable care.
  • Explain how change strategies will utilize interprofessional considerations to ensure successful implementation.
  • Communicate the change plan in a way that makes the data and rationale easily understood and compelling.
  • Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.

Develop a process to evaluate the intervention if it were implemented. Write a 150-250 word summary of the evaluation plan that will be used to evaluate your intervention.

Module 2. Discussion Board. Clinical Judgement

Read the following Case Study:

Leon Right is a growing premature infant admitted to the NICU whose 32-year-old mother, Cassie Right, is described by the nurses in the unit as “difficult.” The baby is nearing discharge, but Cassie is reported to be “resistant” to learning about how to feed and care for her infant. She has other children at home, but none of them was premature. The nurse preceptor (Mary) and the Valencia student nurse (T) being precepted for this AM shift identify a priority of care as: parental teaching about safe feeding of her premature baby.

Mary has worked in this unit for 10 years. She observes the entire caregiving situation and sees that Leon’s condition is stable. Mary meets Cassie and notices she is quiet and sullen. Rather than beginning by explaining how to feed the baby, Mary asks about Cassie’s other children and shares a little bit about the challenges of parenting her own children who are of similar ages as Cassie’s other children. Cassie smiles and agrees. As time passes, Cassie begins to talk about what a frightening experience having a premature baby has been. Mary acknowledges those feelings. Cassie smiles and begins to ask questions about how to care for Leon. Mary answers those questions in a way that is tailored to what the mother has revealed about her family. Cassie demonstrates feeding Leon in a developmentally appropriate way (side-lying position to prevent aspiration) based on Mary’s teaching. At the end of the shift, Mary believes Cassie has made significant progress toward competence in meeting her baby’s unique needs.

In discussion with T Mary asks T to consider the experience. T identifies that part of the prioritization of the care was Mary getting to know the mother and building a relationship by sharing a bit about herself as a parent helped to create emotional safety and trust so that Cassie could talk about her apprehension as a first-time mother of a premature baby and then focus on learning infant care.
