THis Document Must IncludE ALL  HIGHLIGHTED AREAS FOR Completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write a comprehensive analysis (5-7 pages) of an adverse event or near miss from your nursing experience. Integrate research and data on the event to propose a quality improvement (QI) initiative to your current organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this assessment, you will prepare a comprehensive analysis on an adverse event or near miss that you or a peer experienced during your professional nursing career. You will integrate research and data on the event and use this information as the basis for a quality improvement (QI) initiative proposal in your current organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following points correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. The subbullets under each grading criterion further delineate tasks to fulfill the assessment requirements. Be sure that your adverse event or near-miss analysis addresses all of the content below. You may also want to read the scoring guide to better understand the performance levels relating to each grading criterion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Analyze the missed steps or protocol deviations related to an adverse event or near miss.
    1. Describe how the event resulted from a patient\u2019s medical management rather than from the underlying condition.<\/li><\/ol>
      1. Identify and evaluate the missed steps or protocol deviations leading to the event.<\/li><\/ol>
        1. Explain the extent to which the incident was preventable.<\/li><\/ol>

                  1. Analyze the quality improvement technologies put in place to increase patient safety and prevent recurrence of the near miss or adverse event.<\/li><\/ol>
                    1. Determine the appropriateness of the technology application for a specific patient or situation.<\/li><\/ol>
                      1. Research scholarly, evidence-based literature to learn how institutions can integrate solutions to prevent similar events.<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
                      2. Incorporate relevant metrics of the adverse event or near-miss incident to support need for improvement.
                        1. Identify the salient data associated with the adverse event or near miss that is generated from the facility\u2019s dashboard.
                          1. Note: Dashboard<\/em> means data generated from the information technology platform that provides integrated operational, financial, clinical, and patient safety data for health care management.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>

                              1. Explain research or data related to the adverse event or near miss that is available outside of your institution. Compare internal data to external data. Use resources such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), and the World Health Organization (WHO).<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
                              2. Outline a quality improvement initiative to prevent the recurrence of an adverse event or near miss.
