Part 2: Verification of Practice Problem
Review the practice problem that you identified in LC4001 (ORDER #115467), and review the
feedback provided by your faculty SME. You will use this practice problem in this Assessment as well.
Collect data on the practice problem that you identified in LC4001 (ORDER #115467), that deals with
an issue at your practicum facility. There are several places that you can gather data on the practice
problem. They include, but are not limited to:
Interview infection control and quality nurses at your practice experience facility
Review HCAHPS data
Access and review dashboards at the facility (QI dashboards)
Use the Hospital Compare website (https://www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/search.html)
You should aim to collect enough data to ensure that you understand how many times or how often a
problem is occurring and over what time frame. Note that the data that you need is not global,
national, or even state data. You want to focus on data that is specific to the facility and area.
Summarize the data that you found surrounding this practice problem at your practice
experience facility.
Explain whether the data that you found supports the practice problem that you
identified at your practice experience facility.
If the data shows that the selected practice problem is actually an issue, either state
that it is unchanged, or make minor edits. If the data does not support that the
practice problem is an issue at the facility, create a new practice problem that is
supported by the data.

Part 3: Quality Improvement Processes
Explain how the information that you found about the practice problem might be
addressed by a quality improvement process.
Review the information about the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) process. Explain how
you would apply this process to your selected practice problem to determine potential
solutions to the practice problem.
Describe the measures that should be analyzed after the intervention is applied to.
