Section 1: "What do I want to find out most from this module 's topic?"
Module three offers many topics, but I chose to explore further the quality and safety in patient care. This pertains to Chapter 30: Quality and Safety in Nursing Practice in our book. The reason why I selected this subject is the fact that regardless of the existing policies and procedures in every health care setting, staff education, safety huddles, standardized handoff communication tools, and patient monitoring, patients’ adverse events still happen. The implementation of culture of safety should encourage the staff to report medical errors and near misses and are designed to improve the safety of patients. The Joint Commission also addresses the safety of patients …show more content…
The study is done with pediatric population who experienced the adverse events and these events were categorized in three domains: system, clinicians, and patient. The author stresses that the many patients discharged from ICU are still at risk for adverse event more than other patients. The results of this study point out that the factors associated with the most with adverse events are those related to the illness severity and co-morbidities. Because those factors are common for almost all hospitals they are relevant to this topic. By focusing on modifiable factors in care process, the risk of post-ICU adverse event can be reduced. This article is a good resource not only for ICU nurses, but also for the physicians, and the lower acuity level nurses. The study has an easy level of understanding and contains special features like tables and references list. This study has some limitation in form of the method used for data validation like subjectivity of collected …show more content…
This report collects an international data set of 18 papers and 4 book chapters from the CINAHL, Medline, and PubMed databases. This article is written for the acute care nurses who are actively engage in the process of nursing surveillance. The authors used the Rodger’s evolutionary concept analysis techniques to analyze surveillance in a systems framework. The results of this analysis show that the nursing surveillance in the acute care setting is a complex and dynamic process of observing, assessing and monitoring, evaluating of collected data, and analytic decision making, and it consists of behavioral and cognitive components. This analysis has some limitation because the study was narrowed to only acute care nursing. However, the results are universal to acute care nursing and for this reason they provide international relevance for the use of surveillance. The study has an easy level of understanding and contains special features in the form of the tables, figures, and references list. The fact that this article is a concept analysis, gives this article extra
