Based on your review of the data, you have identified 3 key areas of concern that you would like to address as part of the quality improvement initiative. If not addressed, these areas of concern may affect the organizations accreditation and/or profitability: 

  • Patients are having to wait for extended periods of time in the emergency room (ER).
  • AKT is not implementing effective capacity management strategies for the resources that are currently available.

  • What is evidence-based practice?
  • How can evidence-based practice approaches be used to improve health care outcomes?
  • A set of new policies and procedures that includes 3-4 strategies based on EBP approaches for each area of concern that will be effective immediately
  • The memo should cite specific examples from the research reviewed regarding EBP approaches to resolving the issues.
