Title: Overview of a Quality Improvement Project
Introduction:
Greetings stakeholders,
Today, I would like to present an overview of a quality improvement project aimed at addressing a specific policy change within healthcare. This presentation will provide essential information on the proposed policy change, the system analysis that identified the need for the change, goals/aims of the project, relevant literature, the change model to be implemented, and outcome measures for evaluating the results.
Overview of the Project:
Our project focuses on the implementation of a new policy that aims to enhance patient safety by improving medication reconciliation at hospital discharge. Medication discrepancies during transition of care can lead to adverse events, medication errors, and patient harm. Therefore, our proposed policy change will require healthcare providers to conduct a comprehensive medication reconciliation process before patients are discharged.
System Analysis:
The decision to implement this policy change was backed by comprehensive data and information. Extensive analysis of hospital discharge records revealed a significant number of patients experiencing adverse drug events due to medication discrepancies. This highlighted the urgent need for an improved medication reconciliation process to prevent medication errors and promote patient safety.
Goals/Aims of the Project:
The overarching goal of this quality improvement project is to reduce medication discrepancies at hospital discharge by 50% within six months of implementing the new policy. By achieving this aim, we anticipate a decrease in adverse drug events and subsequent improvement in patient outcomes.
Seminal Literature:
To design an effective policy change, our project team extensively reviewed seminal literature on medication reconciliation and its impact on patient safety. This literature review provided valuable insights into best practices, strategies, and evidence-based interventions for optimizing medication reconciliation processes.
Change Model:
To facilitate the successful implementation of the policy change, we will utilize the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) change model. The PDSA model promotes iterative testing and modifications of interventions to achieve desired outcomes. This model encourages continuous improvement and allows for adjustments based on real-time feedback and evaluation.
Outcome Measures:
To evaluate the results of the policy change, we will utilize several outcome measures. These include a reduction in medication discrepancies, as evidenced by a decrease in adverse drug events. Additionally, we will track readmission rates related to medication errors and assess patient satisfaction surveys to gauge the effectiveness of the new policy.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this presentation has provided an overview of our quality improvement project that aims to implement a policy change in medication reconciliation at hospital discharge. By utilizing a systematic approach, conducting a system analysis, relying on evidence-based literature, and implementing a change model, we hope to achieve significant improvements in patient safety. The outlined outcome measures will allow us to assess the effectiveness of the policy change. Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to your support and collaboration in this endeavor.
