Apply quality improvement processes utilizing data from outcome measures in the clinical microsystem.

Student Success Criteria
View the grading rubric for this deliverable by selecting the “This item is graded with a rubric” link, which is located in the Details & Information pane.

Scenario
You are applying for the role of quality assurance manager at a large health care system. One of the job application requirements is to provide an example of the quality improvement process, from beginning to end, to demonstrate your understanding of how this process requires action at the clinical microsystem level. As a former bedside nurse, you have a wealth of experience to bring to this example and want to be sure to include how continuous quality improvement processes must be applied at this level of care.

Instructions
Consider one of the following to identify an example of how quality improvement must be applied to the clinical microsystem:
o HCAHPS Scores
o Medication Error Incident Reports
o A Sentinel Event (death or serious injury not related to the natural course of the client’s illness)
o A breach in protocol or standard of nursing practice

As you develop your example for your job application, include the following elements in a Word document:
o Mechanisms to identify a potential problem regarding quality of service delivery.
o Discuss techniques of data collection that may be required to illustrate the scope of the quality improvement process.
o Identify the structure, process, or outcomes standards to place this quality improvement initiative in a context for action.
o Identify the standards that will be used to gauge the effectiveness of the quality improvement effort.
o Describe steps the organization (system) could or should take to avoid this quality issue in the future.
o Provides stated ideas with professional language and attribution for credible sources with correct APA citation, spelling, and grammar.

clearance, intestinal metabolism and systemic toxicities. Nanotherapeutics includes, but not limited to, solid-lipid nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, nanocrystals, magnetic nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, nanosponges, albumin nanoparticles, fullerene nanoparticles and polymeric nanoparticles[1-4].
Nanotechnology offers many advantages to drug delivery systems and the molecular imaging field as well as having the potential to literally revolutionize both of these fields. In terms of drug delivery systems, liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, and metal colloidals (diameters less than 100 nm) have been extensively studied to enhance the efficacy of therapeutic agents [5-9].
Owing to their small size and excellent biocompatibility, nanosized drug carriers can travel in the bloodstream for a long time, enabling them to reach a target site and effectively deliver therapeutic agents, all the while minimizing the inefficiency and side effects of free drugs.
In spite of the extensive research and success stories with other routes for drug delivery, the oral route is still the most favored route as a result of its convenience, low cost, and high patient compliance compared with numerous further routes. About 90 percent of drug products are administered via the oral route [10]. But, the oral route isn’t the most efficient route for a particular therapy. Novel drug delivery technologies are essential for new biological drugs such as nucleic acids and proteins in order to diminish the possible side effects and attain better patient compliance [11, 12].
The latest advances in nanotechnologies, especially in nanoparticles, make them very promising in the delivery of therapeutics, drug discovery and diagnostics [13].
The delivery of therapeutic compound to the target site is a major trouble in the treatment of various diseases. A conventional application of drugs is characterized
