Comprehension & Application & Evaluation (10 Marks): Apply a quality improvement framework (for example the Plan, Do, Study, Act model) to your quality improvement initiative/strategy and detail how the proposed initiative would be implemented. Identify your preferred core change team and discuss your rationale for these decisions (Dikki)
Full Marks
The student demonstrates exemplary comprehension and application of the chosen QI framework to the hypothetical implementation of their chosen QI initiative. The student demonstrates excellent evaluation skills identifying and justifying the choice of members in the change team.
Exceeds expectations
The student demonstrates high level comprehension and application of the chosen QI framework to the hypothetical implementation of their chosen QI initiative. The student demonstrates advanced evaluation skills identifying and justifying the choice of members in the change team.
Meets expectations
The student demonstrates good comprehension and application of the chosen QI framework to the hypothetical implementation of their chosen QI initiative. Implementation of the hypothetical project is clear but may lack detail in some areas. The student demonstrates some evaluation skills identifying and justifying the choice of members in the change team.
Satisfactory
The student demonstrates satisfactory comprehension and application of the chosen QI framework to the hypothetical implementation of their chosen QI initiative. Some implementation aspects of the QI framework applied lacked depth or accuracy or may not be clearly aligned to the quality initiative stated. The student demonstrates limited evidence of evaluation skills identifying and justifying the choice of members in the change team.
Unsatisfactory
The student demonstrates unsatisfactory comprehension and application of the chosen QI framework to the hypothetical implementation of their chosen QI initiative. How the hypothetical QI initiative will be implemented informed by a QI framework is unclear/incomplete/poorly considered. There is no clear evidence of evaluation; the change team may have been listed but no justification for their choice provided.
Comprehension & Application (10 marks): Demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of leadership and management concepts required for the successful implementation of your proposed quality improvement project to enhance patient outcomes (Dikki)
Full Marks
The student demonstrates exemplary comprehension and application of leadership and management concepts as they relate to clinical governance and the successful implementation of the QI initiative.
Exceeds Expectations
The student demonstrates a high level of comprehension and application of leadership and management concepts as they relate to clinical governance and the successful implementation of the QI initiative.
Meets Expectations
The student demonstrates a good level of comprehension and application of leadership and management concepts as they relate to clinical governance and the successful implementation of the QI initiative. Some additional depth and consideration/application of relevant theory needed to improve this criteria.
Satisfactory
The student demonstrates a satisfactory level of comprehension and application of leadership and management concepts as they relate to clinical governance and the successful implementation of the QI initiative. Some additional reading and research into the relevant theories would have supported more thorough considerations to improve this criteria.
Unsatisfactory
The student demonstrates unsatisfactory comprehension and application of leadership and management concepts as they related to clinical governance and the successful implementation of the QI initiative.
Analysis & Evaluation (5 marks): Appraise the strengths and limitations of the proposed quality improvement initiative
Full Marks
A thorough analysis and evaluation of the strengths and limitations of the chosen QI initiative is presented with thoughtful insights demonstrating the students in depth understanding of their initiative in relation to what is already known about the quality issue and in light of the clinical context.
Meets Expectations
Well considered analysis and evaluation of the strengths and limitations of the chosen QI initiative is presented with insights demonstrating the students understanding of their initiative in relation to what is already known about the quality issue and in light of the clinical context.
Satisfactory
Analysis and evaluation of the strengths and limitations of the chosen QI initiative demonstrate some understanding of the initiative in relation to what is already known about the quality issue and in light of the clinical context, however lacks depth or detailed consideration.
Unsatisfactory
There is limited or no evidence of analysis of the strengths and/or limitations of the proposed QI initiative to demonstrate the student’s critical evaluation skills and content/context understanding.
Synthesis & Evaluation (10 Marks): Reflect on the impact of the proposed quality improvement initiative on the role of nurses and any other key stakeholders involved. Using a reflective model such as Borton’s (1970) ‘What, So What, Now What’ is recommended
Full Marks
The student provides a thoroughly considered and comprehensive reflection on the impact of the proposed QI initiative on the role of nurses and other key stakeholders, demonstrating high level critical analysis.
Exceeds Expectations
The student provides a well considered reflection on the impact of the proposed QI initiative on the role of nurses and other key stakeholders, demonstrating high level critical analysis.
Meets Expectations
The student provides a considered reflection on the impact of the proposed QI initiative on the role of nurses and other key stakeholders, demonstrating sound critical analysis.
Satisfactory
The student provides some reflection on the impact of the proposed QI initiative on the role of nurses and other key stakeholders, demonstrating some critical analysis skills. The use of a reflection model may have helped to structure a more indepth reflection.
