PPLYING MEASUREMENT TOOLS TO A PRACTICE PROBLEM

PPLYING MEASUREMENT TOOLS TO A PRACTICE PROBLEM
Conduct a collaboration interview with two or three key leaders in your practice setting to determine the measures for your practice problem and associated challenges impacting measurement for your practice problem (include confidentiality, anonymity, access issues, etc.). Perform an existing evidence review on your practice problem and search for evidence that demonstrates how your practice problem is measured across the country.

Post a description of the measures identified from the interviews, the challenges to obtaining the data that were discussed, and a summary of how this quality indicator is measured in the literature. Discuss any gaps in the data that were identified and additional sources that might be needed to obtain this data. Be sure to support your practice problem with the literature that indicates the relevance of this problem for nursing practice. Provide evidence from practice and data that is available.
Read and respond to two or more of your colleagues’ postings from the Discussion question. Provide feedback on the quality of data that was obtained and recommendations on where additional sources of data might be found. As a member of a community of practice, help each other refine and clarify the patient-centered Practice Experience Project.

When conducting collaboration interviews, consider the following steps:
Identify the key leaders in your practice setting who have knowledge and experience related to your practice problem.
Prepare a list of open-ended questions that focus on the measures for your practice problem and the challenges impacting measurement (confidentiality, anonymity, access issues, etc.).
Schedule and conduct the interviews, taking detailed notes or recording the conversations (with permission) for later analysis.
Analyze the data collected from the interviews, identifying common themes and patterns related to the measures and challenges discussed.
Review the existing evidence on your practice problem, searching for evidence that demonstrates how the problem is measured across the country.

After conducting the interviews and reviewing the literature, summarize your findings in a post that includes:
A description of the measures identified from the interviews.
The challenges to obtaining the data that were discussed.
A summary of how this quality indicator is measured in the literature.
Any gaps in the data that were identified and additional sources that might be needed to obtain this data.
Support your practice problem with literature that indicates the relevance of this problem for nursing practice, providing evidence from practice and available data.
When responding to your colleagues’ postings, provide feedback on the quality of data obtained and recommendations on where additional sources of data might be found. As a member of a community of practice, help each other refine and clarify the patient-centered Practice Experience Project.
