Personal Improvement Strategy – Week 8: Reflection

In order to provide high quality healthcare to patients, the provider of care must possess the skills and competency indicative of a high quality medical provider. The rationale for measuring quality improvement is the belief that good performance reflects good-quality practice. A quality improvement strategy is defined as any intervention aimed at reducing the quality gap. Therefore, students must aim to achieve the skills and competencies indicative of high quality healthcare providers through the systematic implementation of a quality improvement strategy.

NR 509 Week 8 Discussion and Assignment – Week 8: Debriefing Session or Alternate Writing Assignment

You will need to complete either a debriefing session or the alternate writing assignment! Personal Improvement Strategy – Week 8: Reflection.

Debriefing

Faculty will lead virtual debriefing sessions during Weeks 1-8. The date, time, and duration of the weekly debriefing session will be posted by the course faculty. Students must register to attend the debriefing session.

During the debriefing process, students reflect upon their simulation experience and revisit their assessments, interventions, observations, and patient responses. Faculty coach students to review patient data and reflect upon the interventions performed in response to the clinical situation presented during the simulation experience. This process facilitates students to analyze their own thought processes and supports transference of knowledge gained from simulation experiences to actual clinical practice.

The goals of each debriefing session are to:

• Answer questions
• Address perspectives, perceptions, and concerns
• Emphasize and reinforce learning objectives and clinical outcomes
• Create linkages to the “real world”
• Assess and validate what was learned

Each student is expected to contribute to the debriefing session by:

• Reflecting on personal strengths, limitations, beliefs, prejudices, or values. Personal Improvement Strategy – Week 8: Reflection.
• Identify improvement goals and strategies
• Discuss the simulation experience and provide comments and suggestions to student peers
• Transfer knowledge from the simulation experience to actual clinical practice

Please refer to the Debriefing Session Guidelines and Grading Rubric located in the Course Resource section.
