Description

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to critically evaluate a practice problem idea you identified. This assignment builds on the Week 4 assignment. Information used in the Week 4 assignment may be used as a basis for this assignment. The goal is to develop a deeper understanding of the identified practice problem idea, using two continuous quality improvement tools, specifically, a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and an Ishikawa (fishbone) cause and effect diagram to analyze, improve, and mitigate related risks. This assignment will allow you to apply competencies through sequential development of workflow steps in relation to an identified practice problem idea and promotion of presentation skills. Assignment content supports professional formation, communication, and dissemination skills relevant to the DNP-prepared nurse.

Instructions

This assignment has four components:

1. Identified practice problem idea in PICOT format
2. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
3. Ishikawa (Fishbone) cause and effect diagram
4. Professional PowerPoint with speaker notes at the bottom of each slide to disseminate information

Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.

1. Consider the identified practice problem idea used in the Week 4 translation science project including PICOT, background, and Incorporate course faculty feedback from the Week 4 assignment.
2. Review the examples of the failure mode and effects analysis and fishbone diagram in the Week 4 Explore section of the course called Evidence-Based Practice: Improving Outcomes.

6. ) or use the alternative version provided or create your own fishbone diagram as long as you are addressing the five areas:

• • People
  • Environment
  • Materials
  • Methods
  • Equipment

7. Create the PowerPoint Presentation

The assignment should include the following components. Use the templates provided for the assignment.

1. Introduction (1 slide)
   • Title of Practice Problem Analysis Presentation
   • Student Name
   • Assignment Title
   • Course Faculty Name
2. Practice Problem Identification (1-3 slides)
   • State identified practice problem as a PICOT question in question format
   • Identify all PICOT components.
   • Describe the background and significance of the identified practice problem idea (cited).
   • Develop inclusion criteria for the population of interest.
   • Develop exclusion criteria for the population of interest.
3. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (1-2 slides)

• • Identify three steps in the identified practice problem idea process with potential breakdown or process gaps.
  • Identify at least one potential error (failure mode) for each of the three process steps.
  • Identify at least one possible cause of failure (failure cause) for each of the three process steps.
  • Identify at least one adverse consequence (failure effect) for each of the three process steps.
  • Using a scale 1-10, rate likelihood of occurrence of failure for each process step.
  • Using a scale 1-10, rate likelihood of detection of failure for each process step.
  • Using a scale 1-10, rate likelihood of severity of harm if failure occurs for each process step.
  • Calculate the Risk Profile Number (Multiply likelihood of occurrence X likelihood of detection X likelihood of severity or harm).
  • Summarize FMEA
