Please write an article on the topic below using the following guidelines-using 300 words APA format with at least two references. Sources must be published within the last 5 years. There should be a mix between research and your reflections. Add critical thinking in the posts along with research. Apply the material in a substantial way.

Note: Please do not use material from Course Hero as my instructor checks it. Original material needed please.

Topic:

Discuss how geopolitical and phenomenological place influence the context of a population or community assessment and intervention. Describe how the nursing process is utilized to assist in identifying health issues (local or global in nature) and in creating an appropriate intervention, including screenings and referrals, for the community or population.

Create a pamphlet using any type of publisher software you choose to educate clients on a current patient safety issue.

For example:

• How aging adults can care for themselves at home
• Medication–polypharmacy and how a patient cannot make a self-medication error,
• Or other appropriate safety issues.

If you have a question about a specific topic, check with your instructor. It is recommended that you save your pamphlet as a PDF for submission.

Your pamphlet must include the following items:

1. At least five tips for preventive care for the patient.
2. Information that should be shared with family or caregivers.
3. Local resources in the community that might be available for this type of safety concern.
4. At least three APA-formatted references published within the last five years.

NR533: Quality Improvement and Patient Safety

Question: 2

Reflective Journal

Separate groups: Group A

The Reflective Journal is a place to write short reflections that are posed during the course in Lessons and elsewhere. These are private between student and instructor and allow a non-formatted space for reflecting about your weekly learning and help you realize how you have changed based on the learning you have accomplished during the course.

Please make sure to enter a “Heading” for each reflection that your are entering to keep them separate.

Please be honest about your reflections as these should be your actual thoughts not regurgitation of textbook content.

Assignment – Quality improvement project (written paper)

Question: 3

Purpose:

This assignment provides students with the opportunity to design, develop, implement and evaluate a quality improvement project in their practice setting. The Model for Improvement is used for improvement and to test change(s) using Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle on a small scale. See the criteria below for full descriptions.

Instructions:

Write a Quality Improvement Paper using the criteria below and following APA Guidelines of 10-15 pages (excluding title and  references ). (12 Pages)

Criteria	Item Description
Title	· Title indicates an initiative to improve healthcare.
Problem	· Define the nature and significance of the local problem, and the focus of your proposed QI project. · Describe the local context: · type and size of organization · details about the staff members · brief description of patient population.
Aim Statement	· Time-specific and measurable; it should also define the specific population that will be affected (ihi.org, 2017). · Use the S.M.A.R.T. criteria: · Specific · Measurable · Achievable · Realistic/Relevant · Timely
Project Objectives	· Use the S.M.A.R.T. criteria to write each objective.
Background	· Summarize and synthesize the literature. · What is the existing evidence about why the problem exists? · Is there evidence for what works and what does not work to solve the problem?
Design	· Describe the change(s)/intervention(s) that you implemented to improve the quality of care.
Strategy Model for Improvement (MFI) Part 1: Three fundamental questions   Part 2: Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle	· Explain the strategy for improvement and discuss how you implemented your improvement cycles. For Part 1: · State and respond to the 3 fundamental questions from the MFI 1. What are we trying to accomplish? 2. How will we know that a change(s) is an improvement? 3. What change(s) can we make that will result in improvement? · For Part 2: · Use the PDSA cycle to conduct the rapid test(s) of change on a small scale (ihi.org, 2017) · Each phase of the PDSA cycle must be described in sufficient detail so the reader can replicate the cycle.
Results	· Provide a summary of the results using quality tools, e.g. run charts, control charts. · Describe the variation in your data. Were the change(s)/intervention(s) responsible for improvements? Compare your results to your baseline data (measurement). · Comment on how you assessed whether the data was complete and accurate. Was there any missing data? Please comment on whether there any unintended consequences such as unexpected benefits, problems, failures or costs with the change(s)/intervention(s).
Conclusion	· Reflect on the background knowledge including research, noting what is already known on this topic and what your project adds. · Refer to aim statement; did your project achieve its purpose/aim? Was it a useful project? Were your measures appropriate and did you use balancing measures? · Give an assessment of whether you think your project is sustainable and spread?

Visit the City Health Dashboard at https://www.cityhealthdashboard.com/ (Links to an external site.) and identify the top three health care issues facing your community( Miami, Florida) or a community closely related. Then relate these issues back to the Global Burden of Disease and national efforts to address these health care burdens.

1. Explore the national initiatives and determine if these approaches have meaning within your community and can offer a positive solution to some of the healthcare issues facing your community.
2. Discuss which strategies you would use to engage your local policymaker in a discussion about these national initiatives to advocate for change. Remember the excellent resources to determine national healthcare goals are at the NIH or Healthy People 2020 websites.
3. Compose a Tweet that describes how the Global Burden of Disease is impacting your community. Remember to be concise as Twitter only allows 140 characters. Share your Tweet in the discussions.
4. Finally, what are your thoughts on how Dr. Riley did with Congressman Aiken? What did she do correctly and what could she have improved? As you consider your initial meeting with a Congressman, would you have prepared additional information or in a different way? Share your thoughts and perspectives.
