Advanced Nursing Care For Achieving High-Quality Patient Outcomes
As a master’s-level nurse you will be responsible for promoting equitable quality of care. In the biopsychosocial model of care, there are a number of areas where you can have an impact on improving the quality, safety, and equitability of care. One example area where equitable quality of care is an issue is with medications, especially considering the cost of various medications to treat the same condition versus the effectiveness and potential side-effects of the medications. A further pharmacological concern for safe and quality care is medication errors. This could include considerations like a patient getting the wrong medication or a dangerous interaction due to other aspects of a patient’s health and treatment situation. An example could be vitamin or herbal supplements the patient has not disclosed as part of the medication reconciliation process. The ability to propose and promote quality improvements in care is a vital skill for a master’s-prepared nurse. One aspect of this is understanding strategies for implementing best practice changes in a team, department, or care setting. Another is understanding how best practices can help lead to a continuous quality improvement cycle.

Advanced Nursing Care For Achieving High-Quality Patient Outcomes Additionally, it is important to grasp how successful change strategies can be leveraged to help in the creation or implementation of clinical best practices. Part of this is considering the audience when proposing quality improvement projects or new best practices. Another part of this is being able to effectively communicate the goals, rationale, and benefits of a project. One way to communicate the need for quality improvements, and your plans for achieving specific improvements, is through a presentation poster. This type of communication tool is used both in the work place and at professional and academic conferences. Being able to convey the essence and value of a project in a compelling and succinct way is a valuable skill, and it is vital within the constraints of a single poster. Propose quality improvement methods to promote continuous improvement related to a specific biopsychosocial consideration. • Have you proposed specific quality improvement (QI) methods? o Have you explained the key aspects of the QI methods? • How will the QI methods help promote continuous improvement? o What challenges or difficulties might you encounter in promoting continuous improvement? How could you work to mitigate these challenges or difficulties? • How are the proposed QI methods related to your specific biopsychosocial consideration? o What challenges or difficulties might you encounter in adapting the QI methods to ensure they effectively address your specific biopsychosocial consideration? How could you work to mitigate these challenges or difficulties? Evaluate specific evidence that supports the quality improvement methods proposed. • What evidence suggests the quality improvement methods proposed will be appropriate and effective for the project? • Which pieces of evidence that you cited will be most valuable and relevant for your project? o How does the evidence support and inform the specific QI approach and application? Explain how the project is grounded in successful change strategies. • What change strategies informed the development or identification of the proposed quality improvement methods? o What are the key aspects of these change strategies? o How have these change strategies been implemented successfully in other projects, especially QI projects with characteristics similar to yours? o How are these change strategies appropriate, relevant, and built into this QI project? Analyze the way in which interprofessional teamwork will improve the effectiveness or efficiency of the quality improvement project. • Which teams or role groups will be working interprofessionally on your QI project?Advanced Nursing Care For Achieving High-Quality Patient Outcomes • How will interprofessional teamwork improve the effectiveness of your QI project? o Why is interprofessional teamwork likely to lead to the effectiveness improvements that you described? • How will interprofessional teamwork improve the efficiency of your QI project? o Why is interprofessional teamwork likely to lead to the efficiency improvements that you described?
