Nursing Rounding Reduce Patient Falls
The Plan-Do-Study/Check-Act (PDSA or PDCA) cycle is useful to apply in projects to improve patient safety and quality. You will add to your quality improvement project by describing a PDSA cycle. (ACUTE CARE FACILITY)
Thinking about the goals and timeline you developed in Module Six, and considering major challenges in healthcare and how they can be improved, identify a patient safety or a patient quality issue (such as falls, infections, interdepartmental communications, etc.) and use the Plan-Do-Study/Check-Act (PDSA/CA) tool to describe the steps you would take for the issue you identified. Write your PDSA/CA cycle in narrative format using the Module Seven Short Paper Template.
