Select an issue/problem that you have a professional interest in. Example: Disparities in rural health care

The ICP is the culminating academic endeavor of nursing students who earn a baccalaureate degree in nursing from Ohio University. The project provides students with the opportunity to explore a problem or issue of particular professional interest that is somehow related to one of the following nursing QSEN competencies: patient-centered care, teamwork/collaboration, evidence based practice, quality improvement, safety or informatics (QSEN: http://www.qsen.org). Each of the QSEN competencies somehow link to nursing excellence. For your project you will need to: 

1. Select an issue/problem that you have a professional interest in. Example: Disparities in rural health care 

2. Select a QSEN competency that relates to that problem. Example: Example: EBP 

3. Select a health care organization that can help support your issue: Example: IOM 

4. Develop a global objective: Example: At the completion of this project I will have developed a Journal Club for nursing education related to health care disparities. 

5. Develop at least four project objectives: Example: 

a. I will develop a survey to be sent out to all health care providers related to knowledge of disparities. 

b. I will distribute survey to all health care providers. 

c. I will review survey results and present to Nursing Operations Manager (NOM). 

d. I will develop a monthly calendar of topics based on the survey results with NOM approval. 

6. Develop possible resources needed to help meet your goals/objectives. 

a. Meet with educator or physician champion to research need for education of health disparities. 

b. Review IOM Quality Chasm and to Err is Human reports for resource date. 

c. Meet with NOM to approve project plan. 

d. Meet with research methodologist to help develop survey. 



This assignment is the first of five assignments to complete your Indirect Clinical Project (ICP). Each weekly assignment will build upon the last one. It is very important that you follow the directions carefully and review your teachers document/grading rubric for comments so that you can improve each week. 

Project Topic: Give a brief explanation of your topic. 

My topic is: 

“Falls prevention in an impatient rehabilitation unit for patients over 60 years old” 

I work at a long term and rehabilitation facility as a restorative nurse .One of our big challenges is to prevent falls in the rehab unit. We have usually 40-42 patients and the length of stay varies from one to six months. Almost every week we have at least one fall occurrence with some kind of injury. 

I can relate all the QSEN to my topic, but two are really important: Safety and Evidenced- Based Practice.

Discuss Health Care Organization (may be a nursing organization) that will help support your project. Discussion should include the mission/values of the organization (in your own words). Provide citations and references (no direct quotes). 

One of the health care organizations that can help me to accomplish my project is Association of rehabilitation nurses. This organization has a mission to promote and enhance quality of life of those affected by disability and chronic illness. It counts with more than 5,600 members very involved in their mission. There are many supportive resources and evidenced based practice information that can be used in many care settings such as inpatient rehabilitation units to help prevent falls.

Global Objective 

The purpose of a global objective is to provide a vision for your overall project. It should be broadly stated. Write 1 Global Objective (Do Not Use Any Abbreviations). An objective should consist of one sentence. 





At the completion of this project I will have developed a new Falls Assessment t tool to help prevent falls. 








Project Objectives 

Now your global objective should be broken down into more focused steps. Be sure your Project Objectives support your Global Objective! Write 4 Project Objectives…objectives should start with an action verb! (Do Not Use Any Abbreviations) 

1- I will create a safety committee at my facility and invite patient’ family, physician and maintenance department to participate; 

2- I will have weekly meeting with the safety committee to discuss falls and new interventions; 

3- I will post in all units including patient’s room a list the new interventions; 

4- I will create a new assessment tool for falls and submitted it to the facility’s administration for approval. 

Possible steps to assist me in completing my project: List at least 4 steps in your project 

(Do Not Use Any Abbreviations) 

Review facility current falls assessment tool; 

Identify trends in current falls such as time of the day and place they occur as well patient’s diagnosis ; 

Research evidence based practice interventions to prevent fall and review it with the safety committee; 

Start Implementing new interventions to prevent falls; 

Evaluate the outcome of the new interventions 

Finalize and implement the new fall assessment tool in my facility.
