Integrating epidemiologic principles in solving clinical issues.
…”continually reduce the burden of illness, injury, and disability, and to improve the health and functioning of the people of the United States” (IOM)
Part A:
Think of a clinical problem related to patient safety or quality of care e.g. pressure ulcers or nurse-patient ratio etc.
Describe the clinical issue that you selected in detail providing information related to who, where, and when.
Explain how specific epidemiologic principles might help shape solutions to the safety or quality issue you have identified.
Furthermore, discuss how the information that you have gathered in this course can augment the medical approach, and lead to better health outcomes, especially outcomes based on established scientific evidence.
Read the IOM ‘Crossing the quality chasm’ report to gain insights about the state of the American healthcare system and the pressing issues that should be resolved.
Part B:
Explore polices that have been enacted either at the local, state or federal level that are related to your clinical issue, or might affect it.
You can also discuss policies at either level that you feel need to be changed in order to help address the issue you identified. If you feel there are policies that are counterproductive to improving patient safety, provide evidence of such facts. You can also make recommendations about policies that have worked elsewhere and you strongly feel that if implemented, those polices would have significant effects related to the issue you are addressing.
Do not forget to incorporate how epidemiologic methods could provide a foundation for shaping public policy related to health promotion and disease prevention.
Part C:
As part of solutions to the clinical problem related to safety or quality of care you are addressing, discuss how measures based on the following factors might be helpful:
Leadership strategies
Communication and collaboration
Education strategies and principles.
