**PLEASE FOLLOW RUBRIC ATTACHED IN FILES!!** Healthcare organizations continually seek to optimize healthcare performance. For years, this approach was a three-pronged one known as the Triple Aim, with efforts focused on improved population health, enhanced patient experience, and lower healthcare costs. More recently, this approach has evolved to a Quadruple Aim by including a focus on improving the work life of healthcare providers. Each of these measures are impacted by decisions made at the organizational level, and organizations have increasingly turned to EBP to inform and justify these decisions. To Prepare: Read the articles by Sikka, Morath, & Leape (2015); Crabtree, Brennan, Davis, & Coyle (2016); and Kim et al. (2016) provided in the Resources. Reflect on how EBP might impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare. Consider the impact that EBP may have on factors impacting these quadruple aim elements, such as preventable medical errors or healthcare delivery. To Complete: Write a brief analysis (no longer than 2 p) of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim. Your analysis should address how EBP might (or might not) help reach the Quadruple Aim, including each of the four measures of: Patient experience Population health Costs Work life of healthcare providers REQUIRED READINGS: Melnyk, B.

PDSA Practice Improvement Plan PDSA Practice Improvement Plan The assignment will be divided into four phases. The PDSA project will give the student the experience to initiate and coordinate planned changes in a healthcare organization. This assignment aims to engage the student in analyzing an evidence-based practice scenario within their clinical experiences.  Students will use the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (2020) Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Directions and Examples as a guideline for this assignment (Web link Available in Modules) Part I: Plan Problem Identification Problem Identification: Identify a clinical problem you observed at the clinical site. Review policies, procedures, and guidelines of care to assess if there is a standard or policy to improve practice. Talking with patients about their perceptions of the care. Is there a problem, a patient, or a population negatively affected by the present standard of practice? Review of Literature Review of literature: What level of knowledge is out there to address the problem? Are there any evidence-based guidelines already published? Most of the literature reviewed should utilize systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or clinical guidelines. Individual studies review expert opinion articles, and clinical articles can be used as supportive literature for clinical issues with limited research. Need to reference a minimum of five research articles on the identified problem. I plan to: You will write a concise statement of what you plan to do in your PDSA project I hope this produces: Here you will put a measurement or outcome that you hope to achieve with your project PICO(T) Question Please see template posted in Canvas titled, "PICOT Question Template.pdf" Use template to develop your PICOT question Must state which template you used (i.e., intervention, therapy, prognosis/prediction, diagnosis, etiology, meaning) The Process Steps to Execute: Write the steps you're going to take in the PDSA cycle, the population you are working with, and the time limit The population could be a patient, a problem, a population, a unit, a division, or an organization problem.
