Introduction
Greetings, I am Norma, a Registered Nurse at Valley Hospital. I extend a warm welcome to all
attendees for this presentation on the Proposal for Data Analysis and Quality Improvement
Initiatives. Today's focus is on formulating a Quality Improvement Initiative Proposal (QIIP)
based on an analysis of our hospital's dashboard metrics. The objective is to identify and
address specific health issues, with a primary emphasis on Medication Adverse Events.
The imperative for this assessment and QIIP stems from the fundamental goal of delivering
om
high-quality care treatments at every hospital. Neglecting to enhance the quality across all
healthcare departments may compromise patient care, leading to severe complications and
mortality. Thus, this presentation zeroes in on a QIIP tailored to the unique health issues
t.c
identified through our hospital's dashboard data analysis.
Dashboard Metrics and Quality Improvement
en
Healthcare organizations globally employ quality dashboards, such as performance indicators
m
and data quality, to provide metrics and analytics. These tools aid clinical teams and managers
in tracking care quality and planning improvement strategies (Randell et al., 2020; Salgado et
gn
al., 2022).
si
Dashboard Data Analysis and Healthcare Issue
As
To lay the groundwork for the QIIP, Valley Hospital's quality management department provided
data obtained from patient health reports. Adhering to HIPAA Act standards for patient
information protection, dashboard metrics were scrutinized, revealing issues like low patient
ss
satisfaction (40%), medication errors (30/100 patients), and 10 patient fatalities due to these
errors (Randell et al., 2020). Medication errors emerged as a critical concern, impacting patient
la
safety and readmission rates.

eC
Selected Quality Improvement Initiative Proposal

Identifying adverse medication events as a pressing healthcare issue, we propose implementing
in
the Six Sigma DMAIC model at Valley Hospital. This model comprises the Define, Measure,
nl
Analyze, Improve, and Control steps (Ahmed, 2019). Target areas for improvement include
nursing practices, prescribing, and dispensing of medication. The DMAIC model offers a
O
structured approach to enhance all dashboard metrics.

Evidence-Based Strategies
Evidence-based strategies to reduce medication-associated events include computerized
provider order entry, involving clinical pharmacists, employing the "Five Rights" of medication
administration, and incorporating technologies like Barcode medication administration (Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2019). The lack of specific information on the types of
medication errors is a knowledge gap that could enhance the proposal.
Inter-professional Perspectives and Needed Actions
om
Effective patient care necessitates inter-professional collaboration. The team at Valley Hospital,
comprising administrators, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and IT professionals, is committed
t.c
to improving patient safety. Actions include communication through guidelines, pharmacist
participation in a clinical setting, collaborative medication reviews, and educational workshops
en
(Manias, 2018; Irajpour et al., 2019).
Effective Collaboration Strategies
m
gn
Promoting inter-professional care requires effective collaboration strategies. These include
clarifying roles, inculcating values and ethics, and utilizing communication tools to enhance
collaboration and communication among team members (White-Williams & Shirey, 2021;
si
McLaney et al., 2022; De Las Heras-Pedrosa et al., 2020).
As
Conclusion
ss
In conclusion, adverse medication events identified through dashboard metrics necessitate a

QIIP at Valley Hospital. The DMAIC model, supported by evidence-based strategies and
inter-professional collaboration, aims to enhance patient safety and overall healthcare quality.
la
The success of these initiatives relies on effective collaboration, communication, and a shared
eC
commitment to improving patient outcomes. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thank you.
