Assessment 1 Instructions: Adverse Event or Near-Miss Analysis Prepare an analysis (5-7 pages) of an adverse event or a near miss from your professional nursing experience and outline a QI initiative that would address it. Introduction Health care organizations strive to create a culture of safety. Despite technological advances, quality care initiatives, oversight, ongoing education and training, legislation, and regulations, medical errors continue to be made. Some are small and easily remedied with the patient unaware of the infraction. Others can be catastrophic and irreversible, altering the lives of patients and their caregivers and unleashing massive reforms and costly litigation. Many errors are attributable to ineffective interprofessional communication. Overview The goal of this assessment is to allow you to focus on a specific event in a health care setting that impacts patient safety and related organizational vulnerabilities and to propose a QI initiative to prevent future incidents. It will give you the chance to develop your analytical skills in the problem-solving contexts you likely find yourself in as a health care professional. Health care organizations strive for a culture of safety. Yet, despite technological advances, quality care initiatives, oversight, ongoing education and training, laws, legislation, and regulations, medical errors continue to occur. Some are small and easily remedied with the patient unaware of the infraction. Others can be catastrophic and irreversible, altering the lives of patients and their caregivers and unleashing massive reforms and costly litigation. Historically, medical errors were reported and analyzed in hindsight. Today, QI initiatives attempt to be proactive, which contributes to the amount of attention paid to adverse events and near misses. Backed up by new technologies and reporting metrics, adverse events and near misses can provide insight into potential ways to improve care delivery and ensure patient safety. For clarification, the National Quality Forum (n.d.) defines the following:

Patient Information Student Name Affiliation Course Instructor Due Date Patient Information Gathering Detailed Patient Information Mental health specialists are essential when it comes to the well-being of those dealing with psychological and emotional problems. Compiling thorough patient data is critical to offering counseling and psychiatric care that works. A possible treatment plan should be included, as well as the patient's social and medical histories and a thorough mental health assessment. Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment Planning The cornerstone of successful mental health treatment is an accurate diagnosis. By obtaining comprehensive patient data, mental health practitioners can accurately diagnose their patients by determining the type and severity of their symptoms. People with various anxiety disorders may exhibit symptoms that are similar to or overlap with one another (Goodwin, 2022). For this reason, a thorough examination is essential to determining a specific diagnosis and developing a treatment strategy. For example, excessive concern, fear, and avoidance are common symptoms of both social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, but they require different therapeutic techniques. Identification of Underlying Medical Issues There is a connection between physical and mental health, and underlying medical disorders can worsen mental health symptoms or more similar ones. A thorough medical history is necessary to recognize and treat these problems. Numerous researches have demonstrated the link between psychological and physical well-being. Those with long-term health issues, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, are more likely to experience mood disorders like anxiety and depression. These co-occurring illnesses might not be identified without a thorough medical history, resulting in insufficient or ineffective mental health therapy. Assessment of Social and Environmental Factors A person's mental health concerns require a grasp of the social and environmental milieu in which they live and work. A comprehensive social history helps identify the patient's influencing elements, including stressors, traumas, support networks, and socioeconomic circumstances. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) development and exposure to traumatic experiences are strongly correlated. By gathering comprehensive social information, mental health practitioners can identify traumatic experiences and create trauma-informed care plans to address the underlying causes of distress.

Assessment 1 Instructions: Vila Health: Educational Technology Needs Assessment Conduct an educational technology needs assessment for your current workplace setting or another health care setting you are familiar with and interested in. Document the results of your needs assessment in a 4page report. Introduction Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented. As thoughtful stewards of organizational resources, nurse educators must be able to determine whether new educational technology, upgrades to existing technology, or changes in current technology use will help to close performance gaps, improve patient outcomes, and yield measurable benefits for nursing staff and the organization at large. A comprehensive needs assessment distinguishes needs from wants, compares the current state with the desired state, and enables sound decision making. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to assess the need for changes in existing educational technology, or the current use of that technology, to improve nursing education in a setting of your choice. Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented. Preparation Workplace Setting and Educational Context You may choose your current workplace setting or another health care setting you are familiar with and interested in as the context for this assessment and all subsequent assessments. Also, in your selected setting, choose the educational context within which the technology is being used: Academic. Clinical (on the job). Continuing professional education. As you work through each assessment in this course, imagine yourself as the director of nursing education or fulfilling a similar role in your organization. In your capacity as director, you are aware that several organizational training initiatives and ongoing educational programs have not met expectations. You suspect that part of the reason for this can be attributed to the ineffective use of existing educational technologies, and in some cases, the lack of appropriate tools and technology. Consequently, you have decided to conduct a needs assessment to determine what changes in existing technologies, or their use, you might propose to executive leaders that would have a positive impact on current nursing processes, staff performance, and patient outcomes.

Module 2 Discussion No unread replies.No replies.     Discussion 2 Hematopoietic:  J.D. is a 37 years old white woman who presents to her gynecologist complaining of a 2-month history of intermenstrual bleeding, menorrhagia, increased urinary frequency, mild incontinence, extreme fatigue, and weakness. Her menstrual period occurs every 28 days and lately there have been 6 days of heavy flow and cramping. She denies abdominal distension, back-ache, and constipation. She has not had her usual energy levels since before her last pregnancy.  Past Medical History (PMH):  Upon reviewing her past medical history, the gynecologist notes that her patient is a G5P5with four pregnancies within four years, the last infant having been delivered vaginally four months ago. All five pregnancies were unremarkable and without delivery complications. All infants were born healthy. Patient history also reveals a 3-year history of osteoarthritis in the left knee, probably the result of sustaining significant trauma to her knee in an MVA when she was 9 years old. When asked what OTC medications she is currently taking for her pain and for how long she has been taking them, she reveals that she started taking ibuprofen, three tablets each day, about 2.5 years ago for her left knee. Due to a slowly progressive increase in pain and a loss of adequate relief with three tablets, she doubled the daily dose of ibuprofen. Upon the recommendation from her nurse practitioner and because long-term ibuprofen use can cause peptic ulcers, she began taking OTC omeprazole on a regular basis to prevent gastrointestinal bleeding. Patient history also reveals a 3-year history of HTN for which she is now being treated with a diuretic and a centrally acting antihypertensive drug. She has had no previous surgeries.  Case Study Questions Name the contributing factors on J.D that might put her at risk to develop iron deficiency anemia.
