Subject Code & Title :Clinical Governance Poster Presentation 10193
Format:Poster Presentation
The purpose of this assessment is to link a Quality Improvement Initiative with the potential for improving patient outcomes and Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) RN standards for practice.
Topic :
Clinical Governance is a framework that outlines a set of relationships and responsibilities between government, health service providers and health service users to ensure everyone involved from clinicians to board members are “accountable to patients and the community for assuring the delivery of health services that are safe, effective,integrated, high quality and continuously improving (Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, 2017, P.iii). Indeed, the impetus for the development of the National Model Clinical Governance Framework was in part a response to the failure of health services to take corrective action in response to identified patient safety risks and failures.
In order to be successful in this assessment task students are required to:
1.Identify a quality issue in clinical practice based on an observed or a hypothetical scenario where patient
safety outcomes were compromised or were at risk of being compromised.
2.Undertake a root cause analysis ie. explore the workplace factors impacting the quality issue chosen using a quality tool such as SWOT analysis or Ishikawa Fish bone.
3.Provide an outline for a Quality Improvement initiative that addresses the identified problem and explains how patient outcomes can be improved. Links relevant NMBA RN Standards for practice with the project.
4.Succinctly and attractively present this information in a one page poster.
