NURS FPX 4040 Assessment.4 Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators JJ
Nurses are responsible significantly to collect and report data for the purpose of NDNQI. This data or information will help nurses to improve their patient safety and care outcomes to enhance their experience. In Vial Health Hospital, we collect and deliver data using online survey methods. Our chief nursing officer Dr. Melinda checks her email daily and sends surveys to other staff nurses and doctors. Dr. Dallas stated that the lag time between recording data and sending the data forms has reduced over the past couple of months; this shows a sign of improvement in data collection speed. Moreover, the dissemination of data is done using reports to Press Ganey. This data may include the vital patient admission and discharge dates or the length of stay. Therefore, nurses do a good job of following the hospital’s policy and enter data as soon as they receive a survey online. Therefore, not providing data accurately and using the EHR and email systems would result in a disaster that may reduce the quality of care and patient safety (Thomas-Hawkins, 2017).
What is Done with the Data?
Now, let me explain to you what our hospital does with the collected data. The information is analysed and entered into the system to show how the nursing care is provided and improved in our hospital. This also provides Dr. Dallas and other senior nurses to make vital decisions related to quality care outcomes and using technologies in our organization.
The Conclusion
I must conclude that the contribution of Vila Health Hospital in the adoption of IT informatics is wonderful to impact the quality of nursing care and ensuring safety of patients. The nursing sensitive quality indicator chosen in this recording was “nursing quality of care outcomes using IT informatics” to improve their quality of care and patient safety. The data is provided to our practitioners to support decision-making. The staff relies on the commitment of nurses to enter the accurate data into the EHR systems to make improvements in quality.
