Learning Outcome Assessed

         4. Explain the use of clinical audits as part of a quality improvement cycle to improve nursing practice and patient care.

         5. Identify deviations from best practice and discuss areas for improvement.

Aim

The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate your understanding of clinical audit, and the associated quality standards, as part of the quality improvement cycle. You will identify deviations from best nursing practice in your clinical area, justifying an audit of a selected nursing practice and explaining what you did with the audit findings.

Instructions

This assessment is to be undertaken in the clinical setting at your local health service. This presentation builds on Assessment One. Based on the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standard (NSQHSS) selected in Assessment One, and in collaboration with your local nursing team, undertake a clinical audit and present your findings at your local Hospital and Health Service. You are not required to repeat information from Assessment One, unless brief detail is required to give context to your presentation. You are to present the audit cycle: the steps that were undertaken to do the actual audit; the findings; and what was done about the findings.

Please follow the steps below to complete your assessment task:

1. Collaborate with your manager at the HHS to:
1. choose an area to audit from the selected NSQHSS in Assessment 1
2. determine the sample size.
2. Work with your unit’s nursing leader to decide on the tools for data collection and timeframe.
3. Ensure you have the NSQHSS selected in Assessment 1 for comparison or benchmarking to achieve compliance.
4. Report on the audit through a five-minute oral presentation

                     i) at your local HHS if you are in a partnered program, or

                     ii) by recording yourself and submitting through Moodle.

      5. Provide one PowerPoint with a summary of the audit - data collection, findings and recommendations

      6. Only ONE slide is to be used
