Develop a 4-page quality/performance improvement framework for your doctoral project.

Quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) frameworks are used to establish and evaluate processes in practice. The most common models for such a framework are Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) and Six Sigma Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC). The purpose of this assessment is to use key information from your project charter to develop a QI/PI framework from which you will begin developing a project implementation plan and logic model in the next assessment.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

· Competency 1: Align the project charter with a continuous improvement model.

1. Describe the current practice needing improvement.

1. Explain how QI/PI data will be collected and analyzed.

Instructions

Is about reducing falls in a primary care clinic with the implementation of a fall risk management protocol, now the clinic doesn’t use any protocol.

Develop a quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) framework for your project, aligned with your project charter. Choose a model for your framework, using the PDCA or DMAIC model, a model used in your organization, or another familiar reputable model that is suitable for your project. PDCA or DMAIC model information and examples are included in Resources.

Provide a succinct, scholarly narrative that reflects the content of your model and addresses the key points outlined below:

Examine Case Study: A Middle-Aged Caucasian Man With Anxiety. You will be asked to make three decisions concerning the medication to prescribe to this patient. Be sure to consider factors that might impact the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes.

At each decision point, you should evaluate all options before selecting your decision and moving throughout the exercise. Before you make your decision, make sure that you have researched each option and that you evaluate the decision that you will select. Be sure to research each option using the primary literature.

One is an individual plan of care. This can be a (personal plan of care based on your own culture or a culture of your choice).

In place of an APA ASSIGNMENT,  please draft an individual plan of care related to one’s personal culture or a selected population of interest. 

• The culture that is being recognized.
• Unique traits of that culture (language, preferences, family dynamics, dietary needs).
• Health problems associated with that culture.
• Corrective measures and community resources.
• Expected outcomes. 
• Include citations to support your presented data
