TOPIC:
The impact of nurse to patient ratios on patient safety and adverse outcomes
My goal is to improve or optimize the current process based upon data analysis using a different approach with continuous monitor of the process. The nurse to patient ratio have a tremendous impact on patient safety, satisfaction and outcomes. I truly believe that if the RN has more time to focus on clinical recovery of each one of his/her patients; he/she will have enough time to stay vigilant and prevent unexpected outcomes.
I truly believe that due to the nurse to patient ratio and not enough assistants (CNAs), nurses do not have the time to do their job placing patient’s safety and lives at risk.
THE TRIPLE AIM
Improving the patient experience of care and outcomes (including quality and satisfaction)
BUSINESS FRAMEWORK
Six sigma using the DMAIC methodology
SIX SIGMA DMAIC METHODOLOGY:
D= Define the system, the voice of the customer and their requirements, and the project goals
M= Measure key aspects of the current process and collect relevant data
A= Analyze the data to investigate and verify cause-and-effect relationships. Determine what the relationships are, and attempt to ensure that all factors have been considered. Seek out root cause of the defect under investigation.
I= Improve or optimize the current process based upon data analysis using techniques such as mistake proofing, and the creation of a new process.
C= Control the future state process to ensure that any deviations from the target are corrected before they result in defects with continuous monitor of the process.
INSTRUCTIONS
