Capstone Report DRAFT

Capstone Report DRAFT

ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

Maximum length: 3000 words (excluding references and appendices)

Marks: 10%

Objective: To formulate a strategy, based on a comprehensive internal and external analysis, to address the challenge.

Directions:

  1. Write the draft of your final report, including as much final content as possible. Some lecture material about evaluating alternatives and implementation will only have been covered recently. We know this. You are encouraged to incorporate, in a holistic manner, the content and more importantly the feedback from the Group Report. Capstone Report DRAFT
  2. Your draft should formulate a strategic plan for the case company to implement in the next 24 months:
  • Evaluate the significant internal and external factors
  • Clearly state the problem or opportunity your strategy addresses. This must be in relation to the challenge posed by the company.
  • Identify and evaluate alternative strategies, then recommend a specific strategy (you may not have fully developed your strategies by Week 7 but you need to show the kinds of alternatives you are considering, based on your analysis, and which seems the more appropriate choice)
  1. Refer to the draft rubrics for assessment guide.
  2. Include the word count on the cover page of your draft (should not be more than 3000 words, excluding references and appendix). So, include a final list of references cited. Footnotes are the preferred location for in-text references.  10% extra word limit is not allowed. Appendix should be only 3-4 pages; include only the most important

 

NOTE: Do not simply “cut and paste” your group report into your individual report.  You must edit (delete some sections) and extend your analysis to focus on the issues relevant to the problem you identify and address with your strategy.

IMPORTANT: This assessment is marked to a different rubric than the final report. Thus, a good mark in the draft does not assure the student of a good grade for the final report – it indicates only that the student is on track for the final report 3 weeks away and that 3 more weeks of work is expected for a good grade in the final.

Practicum Project Plan/Proposal

 

The setting for my practicum project is within the Wound Care Department at my current employer, which has been scoring poorly when it comes to communication. I will be working with the department director Ms. Sylvia Coleman, and the project aim is to promote excellent communication within the department in order to provide an improvement on patient satisfaction ratings for the hospital. We need to give people a reason to care in order to promote a more pleasant and less stressful place to work we needed to work on the communication process amongst staff members and patients (Mazhisham et al., 2021). I found that a lot of the unsatisfactory comments regarding care were coming from the communication process within the department.  Practicum Project Plan/Proposal

The tools I used were the different tools that the hospital uses which were the discharged patient surveys as well as inpatient score cards. I will be using the information given to decipher the problems in communication that are most common from each of the surveys collected within the last 3 months and compare them with the patient surveys prior to the change of ownership. Ongoing inpatient surveys using score cards will be used, along with discharge patient surveys to obtain the sustainability of this project. I chose to work with the Wound Care Department because I conducted some brief research and found that there were a lot of comments regarding gaps in communication in the patient surveys that were collected from their specific patients. Coincidently, these comments increased after the hospital went through a change of ownership. In order to gain a better rating from patients receiving wound care I will have to put in quite a bit of work on revamping the communication tools used for them. The current tool appeared very confusing to me, and by improving this tool it will help reconcile individual patient wound care orders, improve patient satisfaction, and increase the quality of care.

Patient Safety

Summary:

A nurse’s first and foremost duty to a patient is to safeguard their safety. Every nurse must prioritize patient care.

Following directions may not free nurses and other non-physicians of accountability when they fall short of the required standard of care. On the other hand, nurses are taught to evaluate medical advice and judge whether it is harmful to the patient. For example, when a physician fails to assess or treat a patient properly, a nurse must follow the “chain of command” method to safeguard the patient by either withholding or finding appropriate care and treatment for the patient. Position Statement Activity

ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

To implement a “chain of command” system, every hospital and healthcare facility must have written protocols detailing a step-by-step approach. When a patient is injured, a nurse’s failure to follow the “chain of command” protocol may be considered malpractice.

Summary:

In research done by the researchers of “Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for nurses,” the focus was on the major injury and safety issues for working nurses. According to the research, Others remain unexplored and unsolved, despite considerable evidence-based findings for epidemiology and prevention. Even though many risk factors for nursing injury remain neglected, there is much room for improvement. Increasing nurse safety has many advantages, including maintaining existing nurses and attracting new ones. Too much work can harm a nurse’s health, resulting in poor patient care. These resources must be leveraged to promote staff safety as well. In the long run, these changes will help patients by making nurses healthier and more productive.

Summary:

 

The link between nurse-to-patient ratios and patient outcomes is likely due to increased effort, stress, and potential nursing burnout. Nurses are at risk of making errors due to their high-intensity work. Human factors engineering principles mandate that when performing a complex operation, such as providing medication to a hospitalized patient, the work environment be as favorable as possible. However, operational concerns such as disruptions or equipment malfunctions may limit nurses’ ability to conduct their work safely and effectively. These interruptions have been associated with a higher risk of medication mistakes. However, the association between interruptions and errors shows how flaws in a nurse’s regular work environment undermine patient safety.

Nurses owe a duty to care for their patients, so they should put their patient’s safety before their own.

It has been established that the Right to Health Care is not a guaranteed right in American law. Despite this, there have been many legal enactments that have incrementally moved in that direction without expressly granting it. After reviewing the background readings as well as doing your own research, draft a 1- to 2-page (single-spaced) position statement on whether the right to health care should be guaranteed in the United States. Be sure to include some discussion of ethics behind your position, including a discussion of ethical principles. You will not be graded on which side you choose, but you must support your position with reputable and reliable sources; this is not an opinion piece. Nursing homework help

Interdisciplinary communication/collaboration has been researched and used with success to better patient outcomes and satisfaction across all areas of healthcare. Please take a moment to review the articles provided and then be prepared to share your own thoughts in a written APA paper (2-3 pages NOT including your title or reference page) about how you can help facilitate successful interdisciplinary communication and collaboration that will positively impact your patients. Nursing homework help

 

You will develop a realistic scenario that describes how several different healthcare disciplines collaborate to provide safe and effective care to a patient in the hospital, skilled nursing facility, or outpatient setting. Consider some different scenarios that demonstrate how different healthcare professionals must communicate and work together to provide care to a patient.

 

For example, you as the nurse must coordinate the administration of pain medications before physical therapy comes to work with your patient. Think of how many different disciplines may be involved with the simple act of getting the patient to the physical therapy department on time…there are many! You may need to call the doctor to get the order for pain medication, then call the pharmacy to have medication delivered to your unit. The CNA or PCT will have to make sure that the patient has assistance getting cleaned up for the day and is ready to go. Finally, you must communicate with physical therapy to find out when the patient is scheduled so you can administer the pain medication before the patient leaves the unit.

 

Other examples that require interdisciplinary communication/collaboration: getting a patient ready for surgery or discharge, admitting a patient to your unit from the ED, or sending your patient off the unit for a procedure.

 

Please use at least one other source besides the two listed above. Make sure to include your APA formatted references.
