Business case for quality

this is the pitch : Problem Identification Patient falls remain an ongoing safety concern in the acute care setting, particularly among older adults, patients with impaired mobility or cognition, and those with a history of falls. Falls may result in fractures, head injuries, increased morbidity, and extended hospital stays. Fall-related injuries also increase organizational costs due to additional treatment, prolonged length of stay, and decreased reimbursement associated with hospital-acquired conditions. Current Situation Current fall-prevention measures include risk assessments, bed alarms, and patient education. However, inconsistent reassessment, alarm fatigue, and competing clinical demands may limit the effectiveness of these interventions, allowing preventable falls to continue. Evidence-Based Solution An evidence-based strategy to reduce falls is the implementation of structured hourly rounding using the 4 Ps (Pain, Potty, Position, and Possessions) for high-risk patients. Purposeful rounding proactively addresses patient needs, reduces unassisted ambulation, and improves response time. Research demonstrates that structured rounding significantly decreases fall rates and improves patient satisfaction in acute care settings (Hicks, 2015; Meade et al., 2006). Impact of Policy Change Implementing hourly rounding is expected to decrease fall incidence, enhance patient safety, and improve satisfaction scores at the unit level. Financially, reducing fall-related injuries may decrease costs associated with treatment, extended hospitalization, and potential reimbursement penalties. Hourly rounding represents a low-cost, high-impact intervention that is feasible to implement within the acute care setting. a few instructions. DO: Make sure it is clear on your slides that you’ve met assignment criteria. Use a microphone or test your sound prior to recording the entire video. Organize the presentation in the order of the directions/rubric. Use charts, tables, and other audiovisual elements as appropriate. Include both in-text citations within the presentation and an APA-formatted reference list on the final slide. DO NOT: Read from your slides. You should be professional but conversational. Use font and color combinations that are difficult to read or hard on the eyes (eg, bright and wacky). Overuse bells and whistles (eg, animations). Use complete sentences for bullets. Use too much information slides. Your speech should illustrate your understanding. Ramble. Abide by the time limit. Over communication only makes you look unprepared.
