Quality
In a 700- to 875-word case study, address the following:
- Identify a patient care case from your own practice experience that involves quality and safety. Note: If you are not practicing or have not practiced, use a case that has received media attention or one from the textbook.
- Summarize the situation.
- Describe your (or the nurse’s) role in the patient care situation.
- Explain the role the patient played in their own quality- or safety-related situation.
- Evaluate the relationship between the patient’s care and the outcome.
- Identify how the care environment affected the situation, including the nurse or provider, the patient, and the outcome.
- Determine whether a quality model was employed. If yes, identify and explain it. If not, identify one that could have improved the situation.
- Explain what actions you might take to improve the outcome or prevent an adverse outcome in the future.
