Complete and analyze the Johns Hopkins Appendix C: Stakeholder Analysis and Communication Tool for the healthcare organization or clinical setting you selected. Attach the completed tool as an Appendix to Installment 3 of three.
Analyze evidence from the literature and course materials, synthesize the information, and develop a 3-page scholarly response. Apply the following criteria:
Reintroduce the identified gap in nursing care delivery quality or safety.
Analyze the completed Johns Hopkins Stakeholder Analysis tool.
Describe the stakeholder roles and rationale for selection.
Critically appraise and synthesize two (2) scholarly journal articles specific to group dynamics, stakeholder selection, and/or project management leadership strategies.
Recommend a quality improvement model for the selected quality improvement initiative.
Provide a rationale for the selection of this model.
Identify any potential benefits and limitations of this model.
Critical Appraisal and Synthesis of Scholarly Literature
Critically appraise and synthesize two scholarly articles focusing on the sociological and leadership aspects of QI.
Article 1: Focus on Group Dynamics/Team Selection
Critique: Appraise the article's methodology (e.g., was it a randomized control trial, a qualitative study, a systematic review?).
Synthesis: Synthesize the key findings related to group dynamics in healthcare. For instance, an article might highlight the importance of psychological safety in QI teams, arguing that diverse teams (including members from the "Keep Informed" quadrant) are more effective when members feel safe to voice dissent or admit errors. Relate this to how your selected team members (e.g., the Staff Nurse) must feel empowered.
Sample Answer
Completing the Johns Hopkins Appendix C: Stakeholder Analysis and Communication Tool requires a specific healthcare setting and a defined quality or safety gap, which I cannot select for you. However, I can provide the structure, analysis framework, and literature synthesis you need to complete the 3-page scholarly response.
Scholarly Response Structure and Analysis Framework
1. Reintroduction of the Identified Gap
Start by clearly and concisely reintroducing the problem your Quality Improvement (QI) initiative addresses.
Example (Hypothetical): The identified gap is the high incidence of pediatric central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This gap directly impacts patient safety, increases healthcare costs, and prolongs hospitalization, necessitating a structured QI approach.
