describe a quality improvement initiative that is currently being monitored in your workplace.
In this two-part assignment, you will describe a quality improvement initiative that is currently being monitored in your workplace. You will begin working on it this week and submit it in week 10. You will present your findings in the form of a PowerPoint that could presented at a professional conference.
Step 1 Research quality improvement initiatives in your workplace.
Research information about a quality improvement initiative in your workplace or in another clinical setting . Gather information about the initiative from individuals who actually collect and/or manage data for the initiative. If necessary, discuss with your nurse manager which initiatives are most important on your unit.
Step 2 Research quality improvement standards.
Using the Internet, review websites from organizations such as the Joint Commission or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and gather information on the standard for the initiative you identified in Step 1.
Step 3 Begin working on a 14- to 16-slide presentation.
Create your presentation by addressing the following points and make sure that you properly cite any resources used. Include a slide for each of the following:
Title page
Introduction
Conclusion
References
In addition to these four slides, each of the following bullet points should have its own slide.
Describe the quality improvement initiative and why it is important.
What evidence was used to determine that quality improvement was needed?
Explain what goal the initiative is trying to achieve.
What national standards are being met by addressing the initiative?
Which quality indicators will be used to measure the improvement in the initiative? Describe the quality indicators and how they support the initiative.
Explain who collects the data and what is done with the data/how it is used/who uses it.
Determine the agencies to which they report their information.
Determine nursing’s involvement in helping with the initiative.
Step 4 Add presenter’s notes.
Include brief talking points in the notes area for your slides. These notes should clarify/provide additional details about the information on the slides.
Step 5 Save your work and submit as one final presentation in week 10.
Complete the case study exercise, Spirit Airlines: Reducing the Cost of No-Frills.” A transcript of this interactive exercise is also available.Consider what you learned in the experience and respond to the following:Is process improvement alone a sufficient response to Spirits declining profits?What other changes should Spirit make?In what ways can the airline integrate empathy into its dealings with both employees and customers? Do you think it would make a difference?What measurable outcomes should Sprit seek during the process improvement effort? Why?

Record yourself,Your video should be at least 5 minutes in length, but no longer than 10 minutes. Using the guidelines included below, either use Microsoft PowerPoint or Zoom to record yourself giving a talk about your primary research findings. Your video should do the following: Introduce yourself Tell the audience about your topic and why you picked it Explain the methods for your primary research (these are the details from Milestone #3)
Your video should be at least 5 minutes in length, but no longer than 10 minutes. Using the guidelines included below, either use Microsoft PowerPoint or Zoom to record yourself giving a talk about your primary research findings. Your video should do the following:
Introduce yourself
Tell the audience about your topic and why you picked it
Explain the methods for your primary research (these are the details from Milestone #3)
And then go over the findings from your original research — either share your survey results or explain what you learned from your interview
It is important to note just say what you learned but to also explain why it is important
End the video with a thoughtful conclusion — how is the information you learned useful? How could people benefit from your research?
I will be posting a video tutorial on how to complete the recording. You should consider how you want to share your information. I recommend making a few slides that you can show to outline the important points you are speaking about.
