Capella 4040 Assessment 4 Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators
NQSI contributes to boosting patient satisfaction, well-being, and quality of life. For instance, it supports the establishment of therapeutic targets for HAPUs. It comprises lowering the risk of wounds, managing medical issues, improving wound healing, and addressing associated concerns. The treatment strategy is designed in response to EBP guidelines due to the high rate of HAPU as NSQI. The non-contact Pressure Ulcer Monitoring Platform (PUMP) system tracks patient movement. It was created in response to evidence of the HAPU rate (Minteer et al., 2020). This NSQI helps nurses identify patients at risk and promptly relocate them. To employ these devices, nurses can follow protocols based on EBP, enhancing patient safety and outcomes. Integrating this technology into their nursing practices enables them to offer proactive, precise, and personalized service, promoting patient satisfaction and outcomes.
Conclusion
In conclusion, NSQIs, including HAPUs, are critical in improving safety, quality of care, and productivity in medical organizations. By closely monitoring HAPU rates and using EBP, medical facilities can continually enhance care provision and patient outcomes. Through interprofessional collaboration, technology incorporation, and research, caregivers can offer practical EBP care to improve the standard of treatment and patient satisfaction.
