NURS-FPX4020: Improving Quality of Care and Patient Safety
Assessment 4: Improvement Plan Tool Kit
· For this assessment, you will develop a Word document or an online resource repository of at least 12 annotated professional or scholarly resources that you consider critical for the audience of your safety improvement plan, pertaining to medication administration, to understand or implement to ensure the success of the plan.
Communication in the health care environment consists of an information-sharing experience whether through oral or written messages (Chard & Makary, 2015). As health care organizations and nurses strive to create a culture of safety and quality care, the importance of interprofessional collaboration, the development of tool kits, and the use of wikis become more relevant and vital. In addition to the dissemination of information and evidence-based findings and the development of tool kits, continuous support for and availability of such resources are critical. Among the most popular methods to promote ongoing dialogue and information sharing are blogs, wikis, websites, and social media. Nurses know how to support people in time of need or crisis and how to support one another in the workplace; wikis in particular enable nurses to continue that support beyond the work environment. Here they can be free to share their unique perspectives, educate others, and promote health care wellness at local and global levels (Kaminski, 2016).
You are encouraged to complete the Determining the Relevance and Usefulness of Resources activity prior to developing the repository. This activity will help you determine which resources or research will be most relevant to address a particular need. This may be useful as you consider how to explain the purpose and relevance of the resources you are assembling for your tool kit. The activity is for your own practice and self-assessment, and demonstrates course engagement.

Introduction
1 This improvement plan tool set will enable nurses keep clients secure by reducing drug mistakes. The toolkit includes communication best standards, recordkeeping best practices, personal methods to enhance client and staff protection, and procedural best techniques for disclosing and enhancing drug errors. Every subsection includes three annotated references with article summaries and why they’re relevant.
Communication Best Standards
Vermeir, P., Vandijck, D., Degroote, S., Peleman, R., Verhaeghe, R., Mortier, E.,. & Vogelaers, D. (2015). Communication in healthcare: a narrative review of the literature and practical recommendations. International journal of clinical practice, 69(11), 1257-1267.
This research compares written communication to face to face communication. Vermeir, et al., (2015) argue that face to face I important in obtaining full details, but written communication remain the best method of communication, especially when ordering medications or prescriptions. This article teaches nurses to always opt for written orders, to avoid medication errors. In case of an order made through the phone, the nurse is encouraged to note it down immediately, to prevent errors

This FDA article covers how medical staff might convey drug hazards by labelling or double-checking prescription choices. Most drugs must be labelled before being given to nurses, which involves the pharmacist. Labeling medications and double-checking reduces pharmaceutical errors

Introduction
Reducing medication errors has been discussed in various settings and by various persons. However, it still remains an issue of concern to the safety of patients as well as the quality of care offered. Therefore, in this paper, I will devise an improvement plan tool to help healthcare professionals especially nurses to minimize medication errors. The paper contains annotated bibliography of twelve articles, in four topics, each having three articles.
