¶ … Nursing Plan
Evaluation Plan
Outcome Measure
The outcomes of the Samaritan Hospital bedside handover plan is explicitly linked to the overall strategic outlook of the hospital. In order for this attempt to be beneficial it must prove to be economic, effective and efficient. These three qualities reveal the ability to successfully implement an idea and allow it to materialize and flourish.
Specifically, there are certain facts and figures that can be recorded and noted to highlight the progress of the plan and allow the leadership to successfully evaluate the effort and direct further resources to guide those efforts to their necessary spots. In order to accomplish this, a data collection tool must be introduced to gather information to model. For this plan there will be three sources of data to be collected. The first is a survey that is to be conducted by patients who have been released from the hospital after treatment and experiencing bedside handoff. This survey will collect critical information that can signify how the exchange was performed (See Appendix A). The other pieces of data will be overtime records and healing rates that can be incorporated into a larger model to gather an more general feel for the performance.
Appropriateness of Model
The model applied to this problem is appropriate because it addresses the main concerns of the hospital. Patient quality of care is the main focus of this effort and to accurately gauge this abstract quality, it is necessary to receive feedback from the patient. The additional data involving nursing overtime rates is also important because it measures both the effectiveness...
This compilation of data provides an accurate model that incorporates many variables and is aligned with the larger strategic outlook of the organization.
Evaluation Data Collection
Collecting this data is not difficult and should be fairly simple to accomplish in this plan. Customer surveys can be filled out before the patient checks out or after the last bedside handoff exchange. The overtime data can be collected from human resources at Samaritan Hospital or from nurse leadership on staff who should have this information readily available.
Resources
The simplicity of this plan is reflected in its lack of material resources. The paper and pen required for the survey is all that is needed in terms of material resources. The evaluation of the data may be quantified using computer statistical analysis if desired, but the survey itself is written to have its data extrapolated in simpler means. The immaterial resources of motivation, patience and discipline play a much larger role in the success of this plan and its ability to be properly evaluated for its ability to accomplish the goals that are set out in the plan itself but also in the larger organizational strategy.
Feasibility
In order for this plan to be fully feasible, it is necessary for leadership to promote its value and encourage discipline in its practice. Like any other clinical skill, it can wane if it is not practiced and properly applied. The extra time it may take the evaluators of the plan to examine surveys is a threat to overall feasibility, but once again a concentrated effort to make this plan work will…

business plan provides a process change for bedside patient handoffs at Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown, New York. An overview of the medical center is followed by its mission and vision statements, and organizational values. A discussion of the assumptions involved together with a breakdown of associated costs involved in the business plan are followed by a discussion of the importance of timely patient handoffs and a description of the
ability to adapt and overcome the challenges that are associated with transformation and change are deep and profound without the proper approach, research and application of knowledge. The Samaritan Hospital is examined in this research presentation to highlight this process and produce a comprehensive and detailed examination into the changing of procedure within this organization. Patient handover techniques are clinical in nature and are extremely important in the healing process
Lesson Plan In response to a learning needs assessment at the Samaritan Medical Center, this lesson plan focuses on an educational opportunity for the highest identified opportunity in terms of education needs among the nursing staff at the Center. Staff ranges from Nursing Assistants to Registered Nurses. A sample of 20 RNs and four LPNs were included in the assessment. The target audience for the lesson include RNs, LPNs, and Nursing
1. Academic Learning and Application By the end of my preceptor-ship (April 7th, 2019), I intend to have developed superior knowledge of the most common complications of spine surgery so as to be able to play an active role in the minimization of complications during spine surgery, and hence promote better outcomes following surgery. In the words of Reis, Oliveira, Rotta, and Botelho (2015), “complications are the main concern of patients
Risk and Quality Management Assessment This analysis focuses on three different types of risks that are commonly associated with a nursing facility. Risk and quality management is an important aspect to many health care organizations. This is especially true in nursing facilities because of the level of direct patient interactions that occur on a daily basis. There are many potential risks that can emerge and a nursing facility. Three common risks were
Nursing Leadership and Management Introduction Nurse handoff communication during shift change is one of the most frequent, though key, nursing duties which provides the basis for delivering safe, reliable care (Eggins & Slade, 2015). Study results reveal that ineffective nurse communication at the time of patient handoff is the main reason for sentinel events (Drach-Zahavy & Hadid, 2015; Eggins & Slade, 2015). Together with National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG) for improving efficacy
