You will begin to consider where your unit- or agency-care practices need to improve for the sake of better patient care. Begin by looking at unit or agency data that indicates a problem, such as surveys, nurse-sensitive indicator data at the unit level, or data related to processes. You, your mentor, and your team may be able to identify bottlenecks in the workflow or inadequate care or communication. What information indicates there is a problem with workflow, care, or communication? Prioritize those areas that you have some control over and that the team thinks will have the most impact. Ask your mentor, staff, and patients about what is most frustrating in their day. This will generate a list from which you can prioritize areas for improvement. Use three steps to narrow your list of initiatives by asking: What is the benefit for the patient? What is the benefit for the team/unit? What resources are needed to support the change? Reflection is to be around 300-350 words in length Your Module 2 journal will provide evidence of logged clinical time. Journal notes will include mentor meeting notes, reflections, and feedback related to the questions. APA NOT REQUIRED
