You are getting good data from your patients, as the length of stay on this inpatient geriatric medical nursing unit is only about 6 days. Your hospital does 100% survey to inpatients, and the response rate is about 25%, which is higher than it has been. This notwithstanding, the percent of \u201cpatient very satisfied\u201d (top box), with a score of 5, has been in the low 70s. The national benchmark for medical surgical units like yours is about 85% very satisfied. Of all the units in your hospital, your unit is the lowest scoring on this HCAPHS survey. But as your unit is the only geriatric medical nursing unit in the hospital, you\u2019d always thought it was the nature of the patient population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have been the day shift representative to the QI team, and the scores on your unit are posted monthly. Here are the numerous strategies that have been tried on your unit and the timeframes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Document:<\/strong> Strategies and Interventions (PDF)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For this Discussion, examine the strategies and interventions tried in your unit and consider the following questions: a) Were the strategies effective in creating a sustainable change on your nursing unit, and b) To what extent can your nurse manager and CNO count on your unit exceeding the national benchmark in the next quarter, the next year? That is, does this run chart have some predictive ability? Does the run chart support the nursing unit\u2019s decision to celebrate? To what extent can the leadership be confident that the trend will continue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Required Readings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Spath, P. (2018).
