Two Activicty
Scenario B
A patient underwent significant abdominal surgery and later was found to have a retained sponge in the abdominal cavity when they were readmitted with pain and sepsis.
Directions
From the Scenario list, choose one scenario for each QI tool (FMEA, PDSA, RCA). Use your chosen scenarios to complete the Module Two Activity Template, linked in the What to Submit section. Complete a comparison of QI tools using the details of your chosen scenarios. For each tool, identify a change theory that you feel best applies.
You must cite at least two current scholarly sources. To be considered current, scholarly sources must have been published within the last five years.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Part One: FMEA
1. QI Tool: Describe the FMEA QI tool associated with your chosen scenario. Consider the following in the response:
o The unique characteristics of the QI tool
o Situations for application of the QI tool
o The steps that may be included as part of the QI tool
2. Purpose: Explain the purpose of the FMEA QI tool as it relates to your chosen scenario. Include the following in the response:
A. A rationalization for the appropriateness of the QI tool to your chosen scenario
B. Key connections between the scenario and the QI tool
3. Change Theory: Discuss a change theory that would apply to your chosen FMEA scenario. Include the following in the response:
A. A brief descriiption of your chosen change theory
B. Fundamental connections between the change theory and the scenario
Part Two: PDSA
1. QI Tool: Describe the PDSA QI tool associated with your chosen scenario. Consider the following in the response:
o The unique characteristics of the QI tool
o Situations for application of the QI tool
o The steps that may be included as part of the QI tool
2. Purpose: Explain the purpose of the PDSA QI tool as it relates to your chosen scenario. Include the following in the response:
A. A rationalization for the appropriateness of the QI tool to your chosen scenario
B. Key connections between the scenario and the QI tool
3. Change Theory: Discuss a change theory that would apply to your chosen PDSA scenario. Include the following in the response:
A. A brief descriiption of your chosen change theory
B. Fundamental connections between the change theory and the scenario
Part Three: RCA
1. QI Tool: Describe the RCA QI tool associated with your chosen scenario. Consider the following in the response:
o The unique characteristics of the QI tool
o Situations for application of the QI tool
o The steps that may be included as part of the QI tool
2. Purpose: Explain the purpose of the RCA QI tool as it relates to your chosen scenario. Include the following in the response:
A. A rationalization for the appropriateness of the QI tool to your chosen scenario
B. Key connections between the scenario and the QI tool
3. Change Theory: Discuss a change theory that would apply to your chosen RCA scenario. Include the following in the response:
A. A brief descriiption of your chosen change theory
B. Fundamental connections between the change theory and the scenario
What to Submit
Your submission should be a 2- to 3-page Word document with a separate reference page that is not part of the page count. Follow APA Style standards for formatting and citing your sources.
