        Prepare an 8–10-page data analysis and quality improvement  initiative proposal based on a health issue of professional interest to  you. The audience for your analysis and proposal is the nursing staff  and the interprofessional team who will implement the initiative.
    “A basic principle of quality measurement is: If you can’t measure  it, you can’t improve it” (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality,  2013).
    Health care providers are on an endless quest to improve both care  quality and patient safety. This unwavering commitment requires  hospitals and care givers to increase their attention and adherence to  treatment protocols to improve patient outcomes. Health informatics,  along with new and improved technologies and procedures, are at the core  of virtually all quality improvement initiatives. The data gathered by  providers, along with process improvement models and recognized quality  benchmarks, are all part of a collaborative, continuing effort. As such,  it is essential that professional nurses are able to correctly  interpret, and effectively communicate information revealed on  dashboards that display critical care metrics.

        Preparation
    In this assessment, you will propose a quality improvement (QI)  initiative proposal based on a health issue of professional interest to  you. The QI initiative proposal will be based on an analysis of  dashboard metrics from a health care facility. You have one of two  options:
    Option 1
    If you have access to dashboard metrics related to a QI initiative proposal of interest to you:
     
  • Analyze data from the health care facility to identify a health  care issue or area of concern. You will need access to reports and data  related to care quality and patient safety. If you work in hospital  setting, contact the quality management department to obtain the data  you need.
  • You will need to identify basic information about the health care  setting, size, and specific type of care delivery related to the topic  that you identify. You are expected to abide by HIPAA compliance  standards.
  • Option 2
    If you do not have access to a dashboard or metrics related to a QI initiative proposal:
     
  • You may use the hospital data set provided in the media piece  titled Vila Health: Data Analysis. You will analyze the data to identify  a health care issue or area of concern.
  • You will follow the same instructions and provide the same deliverables as your peers who select Option 1.
  • Instructions
    Analyze dashboard metrics related to the selected issue.
     
  • Provide the selected data set in the proposal.      

    Assess the stability of processes or outcomes.
    Delineate any problematic variations or performance failures.

  • Evaluate QI initiatives on the selected health issue with  existing quality indicators from other facilities, government agencies,  and non-governmental bodies on quality improvement.      

    Analyze challenges that meeting prescribed benchmarks can pose for a heath care organization and the interprofessional team.

  • Outline a QI initiative proposal based on the selected health issue and data analysis.      

    Identify target areas for improvement.
    Define what processes can be modified to improve outcomes.
    Propose strategies to improve quality.
    Define interprofessional roles and responsibilities as they relate to the QI initiative.
    Provide recommendations for effective communication strategies  for the interprofessional team to ensure the success of the QI  initiative. Briefly reflect on the impact of the proposed initiative on  work-life quality of the nursing staff and interprofessional team.

  • Integrate relevant sources to support arguments, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.
  • Note: Remember, you can submit all, or a portion  of, your draft to Smarthinking for feedback, before you submit the final  version of your analysis for this assessment. However, be mindful of  the turnaround time for receiving feedback, if you plan on using this  free service.
