Plan-Do-Study-Act

Describe a "Staff work around" on a unit. Interview the nurses on the unit to determine why they do not follow the written policy when performing this procedure. Analyze the present policy for completing this procedure. Determine if it is based on current evidence by examining the literature. Based on your findings, rewrite the policy to reflect current evidence. Devise a plan to promote patient safety by eliminating the work around using the Plan-Do-Act Improvement Model.
