NR 505 Week 7 Discussion – Collaboration Café
Using Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA), outline an action plan.
Plan- The first step would be to educate staff on the components of the diabetes education program. Explaining why each element is important and providing rationales supported by evidence. Once all staff members understand the program, then a few patients will be identified for the sample group.
Do- The identified group of patients would receive the diabetes educational intervention. During this stage, the trial will start and determine if anything needs to be changed or addressed. During this process, all changes, comments, and concerns would be taken into consideration. Results from the small sample will be analyzed and decided if the intervention is ready to be implemented on a large scale. During this process, the diabetes educational program would be implemented throughout the Medsurge unit.
Identify the resources (physical, personal, technology) needed to implement your action plan.
A multidisciplinary team is needed to implement my action plan. The team will include physicians, nurses, nurse managers, diabetes resource nurses, and learning specialists. I will also need pamphlets and apps related to diabetes.
Determine the criteria that you would use to determine whether the implementation of your project was successful.
The criteria that would determine if the implementation of early diabetes education was effective would be a reduced number of patients with diabetes in the medsurge unit. To ensure effectiveness, the diabetes education checklist would serve to monitor compliance with the education program.

Identify one future research study that would be useful in extending knowledge of your selected project result.
One future research project that would be useful in extending the knowledge of the early diabetes education program is to determine if education updates on diabetes and incidences have an impact on the prevention of diabetes.
