NURS6231 Healthcare Systems and Quality Outcomes

Week 3 Discussion

Personal Improvement Project Status

At the start of a new year, gyms are flooded with people who have made a resolution to be healthier. By March, the flood has dwindled to a stream. Though people may have the best of intentions, sometimes their goals do not come to fruition. How are you monitoring progress toward your personal improvement goal?

A benefit of this course is that you have a place to test out tools, methods, and processes that may be beneficial to you as a nurse executive engaged in CQI. You can take a risk, you can experience challenges or even fail, and you can learn from those challenges, within the confines of the classroom. Your colleagues are doing the same.

For this Discussion, you will evaluate progress on your Personal Improvement Project, taking a hard look at the measures you have chosen to track and whether the data are aligning with your intended goal. You will also share insights, methods, and tools with your colleagues in order to support one another.

To Prepare:

Reflect on the steps you have taken in your Personal Improvement Project.

Access and examine the data you have gathered.

Evaluate the tools available to you and how you plan to use them.

By Day 3 of Week 3

Post an assessment of your progress with your Personal Improvement Project.

Challenges and Successes: What have you found challenging about the Personal Improvement Project and what have you found easier than expected? How so?

Alignment of Measures: Consider whether the data you have collected thus far is giving you the data you need to meet your goal. Why or why not? If not, then adjust your approach accordingly.

Tools: What tools have you found useful or not useful? What diagrams are you planning to use? How are you going about developing your process map?
