Assignment 1: Discussion Question<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n You are the hospital safety officer. A unit nurse has sent an incident report to you about a patient fall. The patient, an 80-year-old man recovering from pneumonia, fell and broke his hip while getting up to go to the restroom.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As the safety officer you know that a broken hip often leads to death in the elderly. Falls are a preventable cause of patient death and can lead to a lawsuit against a hospital. You notify the hospital quality manager that according to your analysis 40 percent of the patient falls in the previous year occurred during the night shift.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are eight adult units and two pediatric units in the hospital. Incidents of patient falls in a pediatric unit are rare. However, patient falls in the adult units are more frequent.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are three eight-hour shifts in 24 hours. Last year, there were 80 falls. It is June, and already this calendar year there have been 44 falls.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You are concerned about the potential for a patient death, the potential for a lawsuit, and the hospital accreditation status.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Which of the core quality management tools will you use to analyze the problem? <\/span><\/p>\n Explain why you would use the tools you chose.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Is there other data you want as you work on this problem?<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Why do you require other data?<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By Saturday, October 19, 2013<\/span><\/strong> submit your response to the appropriate Discussion Area<\/span><\/strong>. Use the same Discussion Area<\/span><\/strong> to comment on your classmates’ submissions and continue the discussion through Wednesday, October 23, 2013<\/span><\/strong>.
