As a practicing professional, you are likely to present educational in-services or training to staff pertaining to quality improvement (QI) measures of safety improvement interventions. Such in-services and training sessions should be presented in a creative and innovative manner to hold the audience’s attention and promote knowledge acquisition and skill application that changes practice for the better. The teaching sessions may include a presentation, audience participation via simulation or other interactive strategy, audiovisual media, and participant learning evaluation. The use of in-services and/or training sessions has positive implications for nursing practice by increasing staff confidence when providing care to specific patient populations. It also allows for a safe and nonthreatening environment where staff nurses can practice their skills prior to a real patient event. Participation in learning sessions fosters a team approach, collaboration, patient safety, and greater patient satisfaction rates in the health care environment (Patel Wright, 2018). As you prepare to complete the assessment, consider the impact of in-service training on patient outcomes as well as practice outcomes for staff nurses. Be sure to support your thoughts on the effectiveness of educating and training staff to increase the quality of care provided to patients by examining the literature and established best practices. You are encouraged to explore the AONE Nurse Executive Competencies Review activity before you develop the Improvement Plan In-Service Presentation. This activity will help you review your understanding of the AONE Nurse Executive Competencies – especially those related to competencies relevant to developing an effective training session and presentation.

Running head: ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN Root-Cause Analysis and Safety Improvement Plan Yailin Mur Fernandez NURS-FPX4020 Capella University October, 2020 1 ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2 Root-Cause Analysis and Safety Improvement Plan Nurses play a central role in addressing quality improvement in healthcare and one of the approaches is through identifying root-causes of medication errors and proposing methods of addressing them. The incident of concern is a medication error whereby the nurse administered the wrong dosage to a patient leading to temporary harm. This error occurred in a large urban hospital in the medical wards. The event triggered the need for a root-cause analysis of the factors leading to wrong dosage. This paper presents a root-cause analysis of the event, discusses some evidence-based and best-practice strategies to address it, and proposes a safety improvement plan to address the root-causes with the support of the available organizational resources. Analysis of Root-Cause The identified event is a medication error whose root cause could be one or more factors. Medication errors are common the health care industry and they cause harm and death to numerous patients each year. CU Nurse Safety Improvement Care Plan & Processes In Service Presentation Medication errors cause adverse drug events and every year, 5% of patients in the hospital experience an adverse drug event (Giardina et al., 2018). In addition to adverse drug events, medication errors generally reduce the quality of care and safety of patients hence affecting the reputation of the organization. Some events may attract litigation against the health care organization and the nurse involved and hence medication errors are costly. The incident described in the introduction led to an overdose of the prescribed drug leading to poor health outcomes and extended hospital stay. The event was detected by another nurse when the patient started exhibiting symptoms of drug overdose. A review of the patient records showed that the attending nurse had administered two times the required dose. The patient developed ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN 3 acute confusion, anxiety, and hyperventilation. The event can be related to human error and systems failure and hence this analysis seeks to correct these two categories of causal factors. The incident was investigated by a team of four, including the nurse manager, charge nurse, quality manager, and attending physician. The review of patient records revealed that the indicated dosage in the prescriptions was doubled in the nurse’s entry of the administered dosage. Therefore, the nurse administered the wrong dosage and entered in the patient records. This overview presented an opportunity to discuss the issue with the involved nurse. The nurse stated that the error occurred as a genuine mistake and there must have been some confusion. The analysis then included environmental and system factors. An overview of medication errors and the organizational environment shows that the error can be attributed to high nurse workload and burnout. A review of the medical ward showed that there was a serious shortage of staffing hence nurses handled more acuity than they should. According to Johnson et al. (2017), a leading cause of medication errors is nurse burnout and distraction. In this case, a high workload for the nurse led to confusion of the medication dosage. Distractions also occur when the nurse is interrupted when in the process of medication preparation and administration. Staff workload led to low concentration in the process of medication administration and resulted in the medication error. Another cause of medication errors such as the identified incident is the standard processes implemented in the health unit. Systemic medication errors are those caused by the design of the system as well as equipment and technology used. The medication administration process allows nurses to prepare medication at the patient’s bedside. Bedside medication preparation presents inherent risks in nurse distraction by the patient, other patients in the ward, and other staff. In general, the stated event was caused by human error contributed by workload ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN 4 and distractions as well as the standard processes of medication administration in the medical ward. Application of Evidence-Based Strategies Medication errors have been linked to both interruptions and nurse workload. A study conducted in Australia showed that 99% of all medication events had interruptions (Johnson et al., 2017). These interruptions were mostly from other nurses and often non-care related. The frequency of interruptions was associated with procedural failures and clinical errors. Similarly, research showed that as nurse-patient-ratio increases, there is a decrease in quality of care and number of medication errors related to nursing workload (Qureshi et al., 2017). These causes of medication error show the need for interventions to reduce distractions and nurse workload. The proposed strategies will address these two root causes. Various strategies may be used to reduce nurse distractions and workload. First, distractions and interruptions may be reduced through design of a process to ensure that nurses are not interrupted during the medication preparation process. CU Nurse Safety Improvement Care Plan & Processes In Service Presentation This process will ensure that nurses can acquire a private space where they can prepare medication away from the patient’s bedside and then go to the patient for administration. Regarding nurse workload and process for medication administration, staffing and nurse training could be implemented to reduce workload and increase the competence of nurses in offering care. The two proposed strategies can be consolidated into a safety improvement plan using the existing organizational resources to improve patient safety by limiting medication administration errors. Safety Improvement Plan The proposed improvement plan presents two major approaches to the medication administration challenge. The first approach is to implement the ‘sterile cockpit’ concept to the ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN 5 process of medication preparation to reduce nurse interruptions. This concept is borrowed from the aviation industry whereby nonessential activities are eliminated from the cockpit during critical phases of the flight (Ruby, 2016). Applied to medication administration, this strategy avails a safe space for nurses to go and prepare medications away from all nonessential activities. Previous research shows that the strategy led to 42% reduction in medication errors (Ruby, 2016). The objective of this strategy is to limit interruptions as much as possible and create an environment where the nurse can concentrate on the crucial task at hand. This strategy will be implemented by creating a medication preparation room whereby nurses will only be allowed if they are carrying out this specific activity and interactions will be kept at minimum. The second strategy to be used for this root cause is to implement staff recruitment and training in reducing medication errors. Since staffing levels have been established as low in the organization and contribute to medication errors, increasing the number of staff in the organization can effectively reduce the number of errors. Regular staff awareness and training in patient safety have also been established as causing a significant decrease in the rates of medication errors (Di Simone et al., 2018). This strategy thus aims to increase the number of competent nurses to reduce human error emanating from knowledge deficit.
