Quality Improvement Project

For this paper, you will continue to work on your Quality Improvement Intervention/Proposal. This is Part II.
You will develop an evidence-based implementation and evaluation plan for your identified patient care issue. You may use information from the literature review you performed in NURS 410 provided that the sources are less than five years old.
You may use the research that you conducted in NURS 410, or perform new research.
You will develop an implementation and evaluation plan for your identified patient care needs.
The research findings should come from peer-reviewed scientific journals.
When completing the resources, stakeholders, and evaluation plan, you will need to refer back to the studies that you found when you did your research for part one. You may also need to do additional research to find the information that you need for the paper.
As you are working on your Quality Improvement project, please keep in mind that your plan needs to come from the evidence in the literature. Some of the information may seem very straightforward and does not need a reference; however, there may be some information that was found in the articles that you searched that may contain some unexpected considerations that may be helpful to you when you develop your intervention.
If your findings from the literature do not contain any evidence on how their interventions were implemented, you may need to search for some additional literature.
Please follow the outline provided:

• To determine if reporting radiographers or lay people are faster at making that decision.

• To determine if there are any correlations between the speed, accuracy and radiology training and experience, or lack of.

Case Study and Questions Assignment

Case Study and Questions
Gloria and Lakeisha are coworkers who are assigned to work on a project together. Lakeisha is very organized and wants them to do really well on this project. To help them get started, Lakeisha took some initiative and prepared a list of to-do items along with due dates. She even color-coded the list to indicate which partner will do each item and sends an email to Gloria with the to-do list. Lakeisha wants her partner to know that she’s serious about their success.
Gloria is surprised by Lakeishas to-do list and feels a bit uncomfortable because she feels like Lakeisha is micromanaging her. Gloria wants to do her part on the project but is feeling anxious because she doesn’t know where she fits in, and it is making her worried about working on this project. She wonders how she can succeed on this project if Lakeisha is already the leader. When working for a previous employer, Gloria felt anxious about her ability to successfully complete a project and attempted to communicate her feelings
with a coworker; however, her coworker didn’t seem to understand Glorias concerns and said that she should just ignore her feelings and get the work done.
As Gloria ponders having a conversation with Lakeisha, she starts to feel overwhelmed and thinks it might just be easier to be removed from the project. Using your problem solving and self and social awareness skills and what you have learned about personality traits and emotions, answer the questions below to help Gloria calm her anxiety and find a solution to her problem:
1. From Chapter 3 in the webtext, what are the Big 5 personality traits?
2. Use one of the Big 5 personality traits to describe Glorias personality.
3. Chapter 6 in the webtext focused on emotions. Using what you learned, give advice to Gloria on how she can identify and regulate her own emotions so that she can stick with this project, and be successful.
4. If you were in this situation, how confident are you that you could successfully resolve a workplace conflict like the one that Gloria faced? What past experiences or knowledge influence your answer

Understanding of health and disease

As our lecture and readings highlight, the past few decades have been characterized by a “shift” in our understanding of health and disease. Health outcomes and chronic disease processes thought to be solely caused by specific, identifiable causes (biomedical model) are now being viewed as resulting from a series of factors within a broader model of health, the biopsychosocial model (Engel, 1977).
The current literature appears to reflect this increased understanding of the psychological and social factors that are prominent in the onset and course of many chronic medical conditions. In addition, there appears to be an eagerness to understand the cultural aspects of health and health-seeking behaviors that play a role in patients’ choice and adherence to treatments.
What are your views on this “shift” in thought process? Did you acquire any new-found knowledge as a result of reading these book chapters and articles, or does this model appear to be so integrated in your life and thought process that it seems like ‘common sense’? Do you feel like any prior educational or
professional experiences have aided you in understanding the biopsychosocial model?
