Identification of quality improvement activity and their important to improve patient safety
Conferring to National Health and Medical Research Council (2019), Quality
improvements activity is a particular activity which is done to monitor, assess and improve
the health care quality in a health care organization. To improve the quality of care different
activities are implied such as, speech language pathology and clinically care related quality
improvement initiatives. Patient centred care is the care provided to the patient by the health
care professional in order to get effective result based on the health condition, physical and
emotional need of the patient. If the care is not done properly it can lead to negative impacts
on the patient’s health. As a registered nurse, it is assigned to me by the nurse unit manger to
implement a quality improvement activity. I observed that at ABC health service, patient
centred care is not provided to every patient, which results in patient health deterioration.
Hence, the quality improvement activity identified in the assignment is patient centred care
improvement, as it is one of the most important aspect that should be followed in the health
care organizations. It is observed that patient suffering from different disease needs different
care with respect to their diet, medication, physical activities and hygiene, instead it is not
followed properly in hospitals which lead to decline in patient’s health. Patient centred care
should be followed in every health care organization as it helps in providing effective result
and lead to exponential increase in patient’s health. Patient centred care also helps to
maintain patient’s safety as it assists patient to overcome their anxiety and fear through which
is done by direct communication with the patient. In addition, it also improves the mental and
physical quality of life for individual suffering from acute illness and speeds the recovery
process.
Role in leading a team to work on this project:
Patient centred care is provided with the help of several health care professional such
as physician, registered nurses and other health care staffs. It is not possible without team
