Factors leading to a specific patient-safety risk

    Choose a specific condition of interest surrounding a medication administration safety risk and incorporate evidence-based strategies to support communication and ensure safe and effective care. Analyze a current issue or experience in clinical practice surrounding a medication administration safety risk and identify a quality improvement (QI) initiative in the health care setting. You will analyze the issue and examine potential evidence-based and best-practice solutions from the literature as well as the role of nurses and other stakeholders in addressing the issue. You will do this by exploring the professional guidelines and best practices for improving and maintaining patient safety in health care settings from organizations such as QSEN and the IOM. • Explain factors leading to a specific patient-safety risk focusing on medication administration. • Explain evidence-based and best-practice solutions to improve patient safety focusing on medication administration and reducing costs. • Explain how nurses can help coordinate care to increase patient safety with medication administration and reduce costs. • Identify stakeholders with whom nurses would coordinate to drive safety enhancements with medication administration.
