As Dr. Rempher and Ms. Manna discussed this week, data from
the NDNQI is used to improve nursing practices and support the strategic
outcomes of an organization. This data is also used to create the Dashboard.
The Dashboard, then, is used to create an action plan. Correctly interpreting
information presented on the Dashboard provides nurses with a better
understanding of the goals of the action plan.
This week, use the Dashboard, linked here and in this week’s
Learning Resources, to interpret the data and frame a nursing plan based on
best practices.

Dashboard Analysis and Nursing Plan
Assignment:
For the purpose of this assignment, review the quarterly
Dashboard provided in the online classroom which contains a variety of clinical
and administrative indicators. Write a 3- to 4-page paper analyzing areas where
there is good performance and areas of opportunity. Then, select one area that
needs improvement and develop a nursing action plan based on best practices.
Support your idea with references from the professional nursing literature in
the assigned course readings and other references in the Walden Library. If
they are relevant, you may use one or two professional Web sites in addition to
the literature references.
