In 2010, New York State passed a law that required its school districts to develop more stringent teacher-evaluation systems. Local school districts and their unions were assigned a task for specifying certain criteria of their new systems by January 17, 2013. New York City was going to receive benefits of $250 million in aid and another $200 million in grants if the agreement was reached on a new system, a 4% increase in state aid. However, as the January 17th deadline approached, Bloomberg and New York Teachers’ Union were not even close to reaching an agreement.

The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate how continuous quality improvement (CQI) is used within the health care environment.

While health care organizations strive for the best possible delivery of quality care to patients and customers, the process of assessing, managing, and improving quality is constantly evolving and requires vigilant attention to ensure that systems are effective and that the organization is achieving its desired outcomes.  Discuss this evolution of quality within the health care industry and illustrate the role that continuous quality improvement plays in health care today.

In a paper of 750-1,000 words, address the following:

1. What is continuous quality improvement and how is it implemented in health care? Why is CQI necessary within a health care environment?
2. How have continuous quality improvement efforts improved within the last 50 years? How have they improved in the last 10 years?
3. What are the distinguishing characteristics of continuous quality improvement and how is it distinct from quality assurance?
4. Why is cross-disciplinary thinking essential to continuous quality improvement efforts? How has this type of collaboration evolved within a health care context?
5. Explain the scientific method of continuous quality improvement and provide a hypothetical scenario when application of this method would be advantageous.
6. What do you envision for the future of continuous quality improvement in the health care industry? How do you predict it will evolve within the next 10-20 years?

Cite at least three references, including the textbook.

Welcome to week six of your nursing theory class.

We are still exploring section III which involves Conceptual Models/Grand Theories in the Integrative-Interactive Paradigm

Our text readings will include concepts from:

Chapter 12: Helen Erickson, Evelyn Tomlin, and Mary Ann Swain’s Theory or Modeling and Role Modeling

Chapter 13: Barbara Dossey’s Theory of Integral Nursing

As healthcare professionals, we need to be aware of nursing theory, as you heard it many times that it applies to our practice as nurses. When you think about it, how many practicing nurses are aware of the nursing theories and how they use in their careers. If you have a chance this week, go and ask a colleague about what they know regarding nursing theorist and who may be their favorite theorist in the profession.

You will see an overlap in the three nursing theorist listed below (Erickson, Tomlin, and Swain).

As your read and explore the following website resources, think about how their works contribute to our current practices today in nursing.

We will investigate Modeling and Role Modeling in nursing; these concepts will build upon the four metaparadigms of nursing: Person, Environment, Health, and Nursing.

When using the modeling and role-modeling theory, the nurse attempts to understand the “client’s personal model of his or her world and to appreciate its value an significance for the client from the client’s perspective.” (Masters, 2015). 

After completion of your reading assignments, please engage in our discussion board following the grading rubric with adherence to APA written standards. This assignment is worth 1 point.

Who is Barbara Dossey? What is her Theory of Integral Nursing?

An integral process is defined as a comprehensive way to organize multiple phenomenon of human experience and reality from four perspectives:

(1) the individual interior (personal/intentional);

(2) individual exterior (physiology/behavioral);

(3) collective interior (shared/cultural); and

(4) collective exterior (systems/structures) (Dossey, n.d.).
