Instruction
*****Students must identify a problem or error in their hospital setting as it relates to patient safety using the National Patient Safety Goals 2019 as a guide to choose the practice problem. Students must also use Lewin’s Change Theory discussed in Chapter 8 to discuss implementation of your revision.*****
*****In order for you to determine which practice guideline, policy, or procedure that revision needs to occur, you will need to spend time in the facility ascertaining areas of weakness or interviewing those in leadership or staff positions*******
******Explain the healthcare team’s accountability for quality outcomes in the delivery of healthcare services. Students will meet this outcome by:
• Identifying a threat to patient safety,
• Identify errors in current patient care delivery methods,
• Discussing the elements found in an organization where a “Culture of Safety” is present by current and relevant literature review,
• Identify opportunities identified by the IOM to improve patient safety,
******This is a 6-8 page paper (excluding title and reference page) in APA format (6th edition) using a minimum of 3 references from valid and current (less than 5 years) sources******
*****Formatting hint: I would use the bolded items below for the headings in the paper for good organization and ease of reading/grading*****

(((THE PROBLEM))) Clearly identifies the need and potential impact of the clinical project and threat to patient safety. Student must identify a problem or error in their current clinical setting as it relates to patient safety using the National Patient Safety Goals 2019 as a guide to choose the practice problem.
https://www.jointcommission.org/assets/1/6/2019_HAP_NPSGs_final2.pdf*********
((((((Background & Literature Review)))))): The scope and depth of the need for project is identified with a review of the literature (at least 3 nursing or healthcare articles published within the last five years) discussing the elements found in an organization where a “Culture of Safety” is present.***********
(((((Project Plan))))) includes the detailed plan as to how the project would be implemented. Describe how you came to the conclusion that this particular practice guideline or procedure needs to be changed. Identify opportunities described by the IOM to improve this problem with patient safety. Use Lewin’s Change Theory discussed in Chapter 8 to discuss implementation of you revision.********
(((((Method of Evaluation of the clinical project is clearly identified))))) How will the student measure the outcome of this improvement project? Example: Have the number of falls decreased since the practice guideline was changed? What objective data would be available to determine if the project is successful?
((((Conclusion)))) summarizes and pulls together the main ideas of the paper, and reflects the intended outcome of the project
