Now is the time for action. You have been developing your thoughts and ideas to develop a
Quality Improvement Outcome Plan for the last several weeks. For the most part, this is a
simulation action plan that you will not be required to implement. However, if you’d like to
discuss your plan and findings with your nurse manager as part of a Shared Governance
project, that is fine.
This last assignment will be a 5–7 pages APA paper (not including the cover page and
reference page) and the due date is posted in the schedule. A minimum of 3 evidence–
based references will be included (do not use the same references used for Assignment
#2). You also have Week 5 to work on your plan and may submit your plan to your
instructor up to 3 days before the due date for review.
This last paper includes:
1. A brief description of the chosen issue related to your Quality Improvement (QI)
concern or patient safety issue
2. Identify and explain perceived barriers to solving or improving the concern or
issue. Describe how you plan to overcome them with your plan.
3. Based on the Root Cause analysis that you identified in Assignment 2, identify the
resources needed for the solution or improvement of this concern or issue.
Consider the cost involved, stakeholders, timeframe and potential expected
resistance.
4. Describe whether planned change for QI is supported by the literature. At least
three new scholarly resources required.
5. Present and describe your measurable goal(s) to improve or resolve the
concern/issue. Assure goal(s) follow the SMART goal criteria.
6. Fully describe orderly process with actual action steps you suggest for Quality
Improvement Plan?
7. How will you gauge or evaluate if your Quality Improvement Plan was successful?
Describe evaluation process you would recommend.
Please refer to the grading rubric for more detail.
