Assignment: Articulate the Development of Quality Models and Associated Theoretical Frameworks

Using your reading assignments in your textbook as a starting point, you will conduct additional research on the early aspects of quality assessment, improvement, and management. Your Research Report must include an
introduction, body of discussion, and a summary. You will discuss the following quality models in-depth and the experts responsible for developing the models and frameworks for quality improvement and management. 

1. PDSA Cycle

2. Total Quality Management model

3. Lean Six Sigma model

4. Toyota Production System Lean Manufacturing

5. Donabedian Quality Framework 

In your summary paragraph, you will discuss the connection between the development of the Donabedian Quality Framework and its application in healthcare quality measurement.

In addition to your narrative, you will create a table that contains a timeline in chronological order for the introduction of the quality models you discussed in your research paper. Your table will be an
appendix to your research report and the entries will include the name of the quality model, the year it was introduced, and its purpose. The purpose will be a synopsis from your findings and may be presented using bullet points. Be sure to follow APA standards for the use of appendices.

Here is an example of the table. Add rows to complete your timeline. Download the table from your Weekly Resources.

Nursing M3 Assignment

/in /by

Assignment topic for Communication:

Under the communication topic is the idea of advanced directives. The  advance directive idea has grown from basic forms that can be found in  the state statutes to very refined documents such as Five Wishes or  POLST or MOLST. But to start this topic we can access the Florida State  statutes and see what the State of Florida has to offer as a advance  directive. Here is the direct link to the Florida State Statute 765.101 https://www.caringinfo.org/planning/advance-directives/by-state/florida/ 

 Links to an external site. 

Scroll down to “Download Florida Advance Directive” This will give  you an idea about the contents of the standard State form using the  Florida one as an example. If you list the main parts it will give you  an idea about the types of choices these forms allow for which are not  exactly detailed or extensive in content. Now if you were to open a Five  Wishes form: https://www.fivewishes.org/five-wishes-sample.pdf 

 Links to an external site. and compare to the earlier State form it becomes obvious the difference. 

As a variation on the same theme there is also the POLST form which  also gives several choices as a type of advance directive form. This  will be our discussion for the communication module.

Assignment: Compare  the two methods of Advanced Directives, that is the State of Florida  form with either the Five Wishes or the POLST form and describe the  following:

a) What are the differences between the forms?

b) Why do you think that there are differences between the forms?

c) What is accomplished by the newer generation of advanced directive (eg. Five Wishes or POLST)?

d) Which form would you rather have as a patient? and why?

Your answer should be at least 300 words and have a reference to it.  You should comply with APA 7th ed guidelines and answer all of the  questions clearly and completely.

 Analyze and apply critical thinking skills in the psychopathology of mental health patients and provide treatment and health promotion while applying evidence-based research.Scenario:

C.Z. is a 20-year-old Caucasian male who is in his second year of college. He is seeking treatment due to persistent fears that campus security and the local police are tracking and surveilling him. He cites occasional lags in his internet speed as evidence that surveillance devices are interfering with his electronics. His intense anxiety about this has begun getting in the way of his ability to complete schoolwork, and his friends are concerned – he says they have told him, “you’re not making sense.”

C.Z. occasionally laughs abruptly and inappropriately and sometimes stops speaking mid-sentence, looking off in the distance as though he sees or hears something. He expresses concern about electronics in the room (phone, computer) potentially being monitored and asks repeatedly about patient confidentiality, stating that he wants to be sure the police won’t be informed about his treatment. His beliefs are fixed, and if they are challenged, his tone becomes hostile.

TOPIC: Health Equity 

  

The literature review is key to any research study or article development. It is important to review the literature within your own discipline, but also other disciplines which may confront similar issues or have related concerns. For example, practice issues in other health related fields often correspond to those confronted in nursing. Nursing education concerns may also be found in academic research within other disciplines outside of the health care field.

  • What is the purpose of conducting an organized literature review?
  • How will you approach this aspect of your research?
  • What literature other than nursing literature do you feel may offer useful information?
  • How might you incorporate these ideas into your proposal?
  • Provide an example of a piece of literature that supports your topic and provide a brief summary of the article.

Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

 All posts should be supported by a minimum of one scholarly resource, ideally within the last 5 years. Journals and websites must be cited appropriately. Citations and references must adhere to APA format.
