Assignment Overview
Part 1: Case Scenario
Create a case scenario for a patient who experiences transitions across three points of healthcare delivery. For example, a patient who is admitted through the Emergency Department rushed to surgery and transferred to the surgical intensive care unit; or a patient who transitions from an assisted living facility to the hospital and then to a long-term acute care facility. These are just two examples; however, you can be creative as you create the case scenario.
The case scenario should be no more than 2 pages, double-spaced, in length. The case scenario should come immediately after the title page in your assignment. Be sure to include the following:
Details regarding the patient and related health concerns
Description of transition across three specific points of care delivery (such as described above)
Integration of at least two principles of care coordination demonstrated by nurse leader(s) within the scenario
Part 2: Written Paper
In a 2 to 4-page paper, address the elements below. Use a minimum of 4 peer-reviewed scholarly sources, current within 5 years, to support your work. See the rubric for specific, required content criteria within each section of the paper:
1. Provide an introduction to the paper.
2. Explain the transitions in point-of-care delivery portrayed within the case scenario. Discuss the variables that could impact safety, quality, and continuity of care for the transitions described.
Identify one specific patient outcome for each transition that occurs, and explain why that outcome is appropriate. Identify one evidence-based strategy to support outcome achievement and person-centered care for each transition that occurs.
3. Discuss the role of the nurse leader to assure safe, high-quality, person-centered care across the points of care delivery described in the case scenario. Identify and apply at least two principles for care coordination to assure safe, high-quality, person-centered care as portrayed in the case scenario.
4. Provide a conclusion to the paper.

In the scenario assignments, you are asked to reflect on responses to the presented scenario. It should not just be writing down your first reaction or what you already know.
Reflection involves critical thinking, which means rethinking your existing knowledge and previously held opinions in light of what we have learned about theories of ethics, logic, and reasoning. You will need to question your current knowledge and beliefs. Discuss the main points of the debate, what stance you take, support that stance, and discuss the opposing argument. Also, discuss an ethical theory that would apply to defend your view.
To complete each scenario assignment:
1.       Complete the entire scenario. (a recording of the scenario is attached as a recording, please listen to the recording)
2.       Fill out the template attached below (attachment #1)
3.       Compose the last question on the template reflection in a Word document and be sure to address, at a minimum, the following questions:
Why do you feel the way you do about the issue presented?
Of the four responses offered in the scenario, which do you think is the most ethical and why?
Which ethical theory would you use to support your stance? Why does this theory work?
4.       Support your conclusions with evidence and specific examples from the textbook, including a minimum of one theory of ethics to defend your stance.
5.       Your reflection must be 1.1-1.5 pages in length and follow APA formatting and citation guidelines as appropriate, making sure TWO sources. one of which will be the textbook and the other will be the scenario that is provided as a recording. 
The references must be from the recording (attachment #2) and the textbook (attachment #3) that is added as an attachment. Ensure there are in-text citations.

Introduction
Alarming numbers of unnecessary patient deaths occur in U.S. hospitals and around the world. “Quality and patient safety in health care have been on the forefront of the public’s mind since the publication of the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) seminal report, ‘To Err Is Human,’ in 1999” (Johnson, Haskell, & Barach, 2016, p. xv). The literature supports revising systems and processes in an effort to narrow the difficult safety and quality gaps. Worldwide, issues of patient safety and patient-centered quality care drive health care reform. Current approaches are not adequate; patients remain at risk for needless harm.
Demonstrating a firm understanding of the various components of patient safety is fundamental to understanding health care quality, risk management, and patient safety overall.

Preparation
To successfully complete this assessment:
Review the following three scenarios from the Vila Health: Patient Safety simulation activity. Choose the scenario that interests you the most for further analysis in your assessment:
Scenario 1: Patient Identification Error.
Scenario 2: Medication Error.
Scenario 3: HIPAA/Privacy Violation.
Review the Address a Patient Safety Issue Template [DOC] which you will use to complete this assessment. This document is formatted and has space for completing all components of the assessment.
Instructions
For the scenario you selected, use the Address a Patient Safety Issue Template [DOC] to write a five page recommendation for leadership that describes the safety threat, the importance of addressing the threat, and your recommendations for resolving it. Be sure to include all of the following in your paper and to address all of the points:
Apply the health care safety imperative to a patient safety issue.
Identify the issue you selected from the Vila Health simulation as the potential safety threat.
Describe the issue that occurred with sufficient detail so that leadership has a clear understanding of what happened.
Identify the implications of not addressing the threat.
Evaluate the risk to the patients, employees, and organization if patient safety threats are not addressed.
What does the health care safety imperative say about the issue?
How does the health care safety imperative apply in this case?
Which regulatory agencies have oversight about the issue?
Analyze regulatory agencies’ role and impact on organizations’ patient safety programs.
What specifically do the regulations state about the issue? For example, you might consider the Joint Commission’s NPSGs.
What impact do regulatory agencies have on organizations’ patient safety programs?
How do health care organizations incorporate regulatory agencies’ guidance when establishing reporting and investigation best practices?
What are the potential consequences to the patients, employees, and organization if the hospital fails to correct the threat?
Analyze the patient safety officer’s role in implementing patient safety plans.
Explain the role patient safety officers assume in implementing patient safety plans in health care organizations.
Clarify your responsibility and role as the patient safety officer in this specific instance.
Provide one example from the literature to illustrate your points.
Recommend evidence-based best practice tools and techniques to reduce or eliminate patient safety threats.
Describe your five-point plan to reduce or eliminate this patient safety threat.
What best practice tools or techniques do your plan include to reduce or eliminate these types of errors? Consider processes for responding, rounding, detecting, incident reporting, operational considerations, et cetera.
In a health care professional setting, recommendations to leadership would typically not be in APA format. However, your paper does need to conform to the current APA format and style guidelines. It does need to be clear, persuasive, organized, and well written without spelling, grammar, and/or punctuation errors. In addition, recommendations you write in a professional setting would be single-spaced. For the purpose of this assessment, however, please use double-spacing. See the APA Module for more information about APA style.
Also, health care is an evidence-based field. Your senior leaders will want to know the sources of your information, so be sure to include at least two peer-reviewed sources. You may use the suggested resources for this assessment. Your citations and references need to conform to APA guidelines.
Please review the Addressing a Patient Safety Issue Scoring Guide to ensure you understand the grading requirements for this assessment.

As a nurse leader, you will be called upon to collect and analyze data, then to use the data to drive change. 
For this assignment, you will be presented with two sets of data. Both sets are representative of the occurrence of pressure ulcers in long-stay nursing home patients. 
One set of data (NHQDR) represents national data as compared to the state of Georgia. 
The second data set (Medicare.gov) is specific for the nursing home in Georgia where you are the supervisor. View and interpret the data specific to pressure injury rates. 
After you interpret the data in Part 1, you will create a staff in-service to address the identified concerns in Part 2

Using data above, answer the following questions. Record your answers on a Word document.  
As the supervisor of this nursing home, how do you interpret this data? What is it telling you? Give specific examples in your comparison of the data sets. 
What are the strengths and weaknesses of the data? Give at least one example of each. 
“Any stage 3, stage 4, or unstageable pressure ulcers acquired after admission/presentation to a health care setting” (National Quality Forum, 2016) is considered a ‘Never Event’. What is a ‘Never Event’? What does that mean to your facility? https://psnet.ahrq.gov/primer/never-events#:~:text=The%20term%20%22Never%20Event%22%20was,surgery%E2%80%94that%20should%20never%20occur 

The purpose of this assignment is to create an educational program that supports the implementation of risk management strategies in a health care organization.
In this assignment, you will develop an “in‐service”‐style educational risk management program presentation for the employer and employees of a particular health care organization. Select your topic for this educational session from one of the proposed recommendations or changes you suggested in the Topic 1 benchmark assignment to enhance, improve, or secure compliance standards in your chosen risk management plan example.
Develop a 10-12-slide presentation (including a title slide, a reference slide, and slide notes that provide a detailed explanation of your research) that outlines the following points about your chosen topic:
Introduction: Identify the risk management topic you have chosen to address and explain why it is important within your health care sector.
Rationale: Explain how this risk management strategy is lacking within your selected organization’s current risk management plan and describe how its responsibility for implementation will better meet local, state, and federal compliance standards.
Support: Provide data that indicate the need for this proposed risk management initiative and explain how it falls under the organization’s legal responsibility to provide a safe health care facility and work environment.
Implementation: Describe the steps to implement the proposed strategy in your selected health care organization. Challenges: Predict obstacles the health care organization may face in executing this risk management strategy and challenges for building a culture of faith, compassion, and concern for patients, families, and employees, and propose solutions to navigate or preempt these potentially difficult outcomes. Evaluation: Outline your plan to evaluate the success of the proposed risk management program and how well it meets compliance with operational risk management policies in the organization’s short-term, long-term, and end goals, which includes key employer and employee metrics that will be used for measuring the success of the risk management program.
Opportunities: Recommend additional risk management improvements in adjacent areas of influence that the organization could or should address moving forward.
In addition to your textbook and the GCU “Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work,” you are required to support your analysis with at least three credible health-related resources and at least three peer-reviewed resources.
Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
