Expand All
Introduction
As a DNP-prepared nurse, it will be important for you to develop the knowledge and skill necessary to conduct a risk analysis. Understanding risks is important for effective practice, organizational performance, and positive patient safety and outcomes. For this assessment you will use a risk matrix to note the potential occurrence of identified risks (frequent, sometimes, never), and the potential for harm [(patient or organization) (severe, mild, none)]. You will then list what action will be taken to reduce the occurrence and/or severity of the risk, noting the resultant change in occurrence and/or severity. By using the tools and guidance in this assessment you will be able to complete your own risk analysis that is relevant to the health care environment and technology you have been using throughout your work in this course. This in turn will prepare you to carry out such analyses in your current or future practice.
Preparation
In the previous assessments, you:
Observed opportunities to use technology/informatics to make practice changes.
Reviewed organization or provider-type performance.
Identified real or potential risks associated with the technology/informatics-driven practice change.
In this assessment, you will use your SAFER Guides findings and resources to create a risk mitigation plan. You will complete this assessment using the Risk Mitigation Plan Template [DOCX] Download Risk Mitigation Plan Template [DOCX].
If you are not familiar with risk mitigation planning, the What Is a Risk Matrix? | Effective Risk Assessments [Video] may help you get started.

Additionally, state what action will be taken to reduce the occurrence and/or severity of the risk and identify the resultant change in occurrence and/or severity.
Write a 2–4 page report (below the table in the template) that addresses any ethical or legal issues that could arise from not addressing the identified risks, justify your proposed actions to address the identified risks, and identify change management strategies that could help others implement the proposed actions in their practice.
Overall, your assessment will be assessed based on the following criteria:
Complete all sections of the risk management plan table.
Explain any ethical or legal issues that could result from not addressing identified risks.

Assignment Description:
Data Analysis
There are many resources available for data analysis. The resources you use will depend, in large part, on the type of data you have and the decisions that must be made based on that data, and the question you are seeking to answer. This assignment is designed to provide you with a basic understanding of one method for running your analysis by using IBM’s SPSS Statistics software.
You are not being asked to purchase this software. You will only need to download a free trial of SPSS for this course. This version of SPSS is only to be used to review, demonstrate, and evaluate IBM SPSS Statistics Software for purchase considerations later. Your trial period is only for 14 days, so you must use good judgment in when to download it and complete the assignment. You will find this link in the additional materials under digital software resources.
Please see the additional video tutorials in the additional resources.
Quality Improvement Scenario:
You are a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) entrepreneur at your clinical practice location; you have identified an area for improvement. The rate of catheter infections is high in one of your units. After reviewing the last two months of infection rates you realize that many of the patients on the floor would qualify for intermittent catheterization vs. an indwelling catheter. For this specific population, you take the initiative to pilot a policy change based on current Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) recommendations and follow a policy targeting intermittent catheterization use. Your quality improvement (QI) project aims to decrease the number of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI).
For data analysis, you will need to evaluate two entities.
The staff’s understanding of the education by conducting a pre and post-test.
A Retrospective data collection, looking at two months before and two months after implementing the policy change.
For the purposes of this assignment’s data analysis, you will be evaluating the effectiveness of your teaching.

a) Run descriptive statistics on the data (provide a screen shot of your results and report in appendix of your paper).
b) Run a frequencies distribution on the data (provide a screen shot of your results and report in appendix of your paper).
c) Create a graph comparing the pretest and posttest scores by gender (provide a screenshot of your results and report in the Appendix of your paper).
Following APA formatting, craft a scholarly paper addressing the following analysis findings.
Explain the value of understanding the SPSS software and how this could help you understand your project data.
What other metrics did the SPSS offer that could help you support your findings?
What was your mean for each of the variables? Any concerns with the accuracy?
What was your standard deviation? Explain your findings: the appropriateness of the deviation and did it fall into a normal distribution.
Explain what the T-test is and how it would be used. Would it be applicable to the data that you are running? Or would it be more of a good fit for comparing the pre and post of your implementation findings? Explain your rationale.
