NURS FPX 4020 Assessment 1 Enhancing Quality and Safety

Moreover, this training session enables them to communicate and collaborate with healthcare professionals such as pharmacists to get information about the new and LASA drugs (Luokkamäki et al., 2020). Care coordination involves a multidisciplinary team, which helps the patient receive an improved quality of care and enhances patient safety. The nurses will collaborate with the physician and pharmacist in a team to provide care at the right time to the right patient. The incidence reporting system within the healthcare setting will help the institution improve the quality of healthcare services by addressing previous challenges and adverse events.

To make reporting comfortable for newly registered nurses, senior nurses can play an efficient role in creating a safe, blame-free, and collaborative environment so that novice nurses actively report errors without fearing losing their jobs. This approach will optimize the care coordination process through effective collaboration and help the organization save additional costs to combat adverse events (Shermock et al., 2023).  

Identification of Stakeholders

The stakeholders involved in improving patient safety and helping coordinate medication management care include physicians, pharmacists, registered nurses, the organization’s administration, and policymakers. Nurses will coordinate and double-check with the physician about the name and dosage of the medication on the prescription of the patient. Furthermore, nurses will coordinate and communicate with the pharmacist to ensure the right patient gets the correct dose and medication.

Clinicians, pharmacists, registered nurses, organization administration, and policymakers are the critical stakeholders that help the healthcare organization to improve patient safety through reduction in the MAEs. The physician maintains and promotes the patient’s health through diagnosis and treatment. The pharmacist helps the nurse and healthcare setting to receive the right drugs for the right patient and also decides to improve the medication administration.

Policymakers help the healthcare system to plan initiatives for patient safety that will enhance the quality of care.  These stakeholders should take into consideration the implementation of the intervention that enhances patient safety. The stakeholders help implement the intervention financially and provide funding to hire experienced staff to train the nurses about MAEs (Manias et al., 2020). 

Conclusion

In conclusion, MAEs are the pertaining issue in the USA, as evidenced by the specific example presented in the paper. The factors involved in the patient safety risk are the healthcare professionals’ negligent behavior, reduced health literacy, communication and collaboration gap, and lack of technology. The evidence-based practices such as training of the nurses and establishing incidence reporting systems helps to reduce MAEs. Nurses play an essential role in effective coordination and reducing costs associated with adverse events. However, nurses must collaborate with various stakeholders to achieve these goals. Thus, nurses and other stakeholders within healthcare settings, patient safety, and the quality of healthcare services.
