1. Share what you had expected to learn about the topic before beginning the unit.
Before beginning this unit and looking at the module title I expected to learn more about the accreditation standards that hospitals and other facilities are held to in order to be considered safe for their patients and their employees.
2. What you actually learned from the unit.
After completing this unit, I feel that I have learned what I expected to learn. I was able to learn more about NPSG's and how these are set and the intervention plans that are set forth in order to bring these goals to light. I also learned about JCAHO and the importance they play in the accreditation of these facilities.
3. Discuss your feelings/experiences from the activities (individual and team)?
I felt that the activities of this week were beneficial because they educated me on why certain things need to be done in facilities, though as a nurse it seems repetitive. These things have to be done in order to be accredited. Also, if these goals are not being met by the employees they need to keep being addressed in order to improve the care and safety that the patients receive.
4. How you will utilize the information learned in your nursing practice.
I will utilize the information learned from this unit by better understanding the accreditation standards that are in place and knowing the ways that I as a nurse can make a difference in these things as an employee. In the future this will also help me to be a better manager because I will already understand the importance of this information.
5. You personal feelings about the material covered.
I feel that this information is important because the accreditation standards are ultimately what keeps a hospital or healthcare facility going. And without these standards our healthcare system would not be capable of providing appropriate care. This is important information for all nurses and healthcare workers to know.
