Prepare an 810 minute audio training tutorial using powerpoint slides with speaker notes for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. First review the Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators below and select the one youre most interested in. Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators reflect the structure, process, and patient outcomes of nursing care. Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators are developed by identifying potential indicators that reflect nursing care and are not represented by current indicators, performing a literature review, and determining the validity of the potential indicator in nursing practice. Select one of the Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators below to use as the focus for this assignment: Patient Volume and Flow Structure. Patient Contacts Structure. Nursing Care Hours Per Patient Day Structure. Skill Mix Structure. Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers Outcome. Next, imagine you are a member of a Quality Improvement Council at any type of health care system, whether acute, ambulatory, home health, managed care, et cetera. Your Council has identified that newly hired nurses would benefit from comprehensive training on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. The Council would like the training to address how this information is collected and disseminated across the organization. It would also like the training to describe the role nurses have in accurate reporting and high-quality results. The council prefers a recorded presentation using PowerPoint. This will allow the education department to show the presentation during new hire training. As a result of this need, you offer to create a presentation orienting new hires to these topics. You know that you will need speakers notes to guide your recording. You plan to incorporate the insights you learned from conducting an interview with an authority on quality monitoring and the use of technology to collect and report quality indicator data. You determine that you will cover the following topics in your presentation: Introduction: Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicator What is the National Database of Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators? What are nursing-sensitive quality indicators? Which particular quality indicator did you select to address in your tutorial? Why is this quality indicator important to monitor? o Be sure to address the impact of this indicator on the quality of care and patient safety. Why do new nurses need to be familiar with this particular quality indicator when providing patient care? Collection and Distribution of Quality Indicator Data According to your interview and other resources, how does your organization collect data on this quality indicator? How does the organization disseminate aggregate data? What role do nurses play in supporting accurate reporting and high-quality results? o As an example, consider the importance of accurately entering data regarding nursing interventions. Enhancing Outcomes Explain how your health care organization uses nursing-sensitive quality indicators to enhance patient safety, patient care outcomes, and organizational performance reports. Describe how a nursing-sensitive quality indicator establishes evidence-based practice guidelines for nurses to follow when using patient care technologies to enhance patient safety, satisfaction, and outcomes. Additional Requirements Communication: Deliver a professional, effective tutorial on a selected quality indicator that engages new nurses and motivates them to accurately report quality data in a timely fashion. Length: 810 minute recording. Script: A separate document with the script or speaker’s notes is required. Important: Submissions that do not include the script or speaker’s notes will be returned as a non-performance. References: Cite at least 4 scholarly and/or authoritative sources within the last 5 years. APA: Submit a separate reference page that follows APA style and formatting guidelines. Please also refer to the attached rubric.

Introduction

This assignment consists of two parts: a written paper (Word document), and an Evidence Table (Excel spreadsheet). The purpose of this assignment is to help you develop the skills that are necessary to evaluate evidence. Use the works you have previously submitted; Edit, improve, and respond to any feedback by your instructor. Compile a paper from the work you have submitted. To this work, add in a few sentences to describe the variables in your PICO(T). This is an opportunity for you to improve your thoughts and receive feedback on the format of your paper. It is possible that you have refined or changed your PICO(T) since last submission; it is OK as long as you are still using the topic your instructor approved. Some of you may have found that after doing a preliminary search for evidence the direction of the PICO(T) question changed.
