improvement plan
Thank you for submitting your presentation! As nurses, we understand the importance of staying abreast of best practices, and one way to accomplish this is to educate one another. In-services are a way to reach many nurses on multiple shifts. I found your presentation on the improvement plan on reducing med errors by practicing the SBAR method to be very interesting. Do you see yourself implementing such a plan where you work? What was one major “ah-ha” moment for you when you were creating the presentation?
Keep up the momentum and move forward – almost there!

COMMENTS:
You did excellent work listing the purpose and specific goals of the in-service session to reduce medication errors. I like how you described the relevancy of the goals and purpose by relating it to effective communication.
The purpose and goals should be at the very beginning. So that the audience will know what will be expected of them.
Do you see yourself being able to implement something like this in reality?

COMMENTS:
Good explanation of the need for and process to improve safety outcomes related to reducing medication errors, such as using effective communication.
Can you incorporate data and evidence to support the need to reduce med errors? Place the numbers/data on a slide for the audience to see and support it with a source.

COMMENTS:
Your explanation of how the role of the audience can significantly impact the success of an improvement plan to reduce medication errors, such as the nurse's role as the front line staff along with the responsibility of nurses providing feedback on what works and does not work was identified. Well done! To receive a higher performance level, you could have described the type of communication required to promote a buy-in which was outlined in the scoring guide.
