1. Share what you had expected to learn about the topic before beginning the unit.
This week I expected to further learn about quality improvement strategies that could be used in a clinical setting to improve the patient care and safety that is provided.
2. What you actually learned from the unit.
After completing the activities for this unit I feel that I have learned more about benchmarking and the process it takes in order to create a benchmark and continue to improve. Benchmarking is one of the most important quality improvement activities because it is something that can be measured and something for us to work towards.
3. Discuss your feelings/experiences from the activities (individual and team)?
I enjoyed the different activities for this week. The discussion was interesting and a lot harder than I expected it to be. I thought benchmarking was a simple task, and I did not realize the many steps it takes to create a benchmark. It was an eye opening experience. I also enjoyed the other activities because they were helpful in giving me a good look at myself and the way I do and should handle certain situations.
4. How you will utilize the information learned in your nursing practice.
I will utilize the information that I have learned from this unit to contribute to the creation of benchmarks and being able to better understand the purposed and improvements that need to be made at my current job. I will also better be able to go through the process of figuring out a way to work around a problem that I am having using the "why" theory.
5. You personal feelings about the material covered.
I feel like this information that I learned this week is very valuable to me and in my improvement as a nurse. I think this information will help me to better improve the quality of care that I give to my patients to improve their safety. I also think it was a good reminder of the importance of the quality improvement strategies that we have learned so far in the semester.
