Question

The Quality and safety Education for nurses (QSEN) initiative aims at preparing nurses with the competencies needed to improve safety and quality in the workplace. Modeled after the past recommendations from the institute of Medicine, QSEN has developed a set of six competencies nessessary for healthcare providers to deliver high quality safe care. These competencies include patient-centered care, evidence-based practice, teamwork and collaboration, safety, quality improvement and informatics.

The QSEN competencies aim to assist healthcare providers and nurses to use systems thinking. Systems thinking is the ability to recognize, summarize, understand how all elements in a complex system interact. For this assignment, complete the readings in the Module (Dolanski and Moore, 2013 and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2011). Next, select an adverse event from your practice (fiction or non-fiction) and using the Fishbone diagram (as detailed in the readings from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2011) help identify a main cause(s) of the event.

You have 2 options to discuss this topic. a) This discussion should be formatted using all of the components of the Fishbone, with an explanation of how each impacts the event. The discussion should be in the APA template, with at least three paragraphs. Ensure all the elements of the Fishbone are represented and explain how each component is related to the adverse event. Supply at least two references. OR b) you can describe the adverse event in a paragraph and show components using the Fishbone template attached in the module (under resources) vs. writing paragraphs.

Submission: After you post your initial post, reply to three or more of your classmates' postings. Your replies should be at least 5 sentences, with substantive content.

Grading: This discussion is worth 50 points and will be graded using the Nursing Discussion rubric. Use the information in the rubric as a guide toward successful completion of this module's discussion.

OR

Directions: Using references in the Readings and Resources section in addition to the book, outline with a rationale specific strategies to identify and begin an evidence-based project at your facility. Ensure you follow the steps outlined in the readings in the text. Consult with a colleague within the classroom if you are not currently employed. Provide at least two references. APA format
