CLINICAL QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
NSM5CQI
2020
Credit points: 30
Subject outline
In this subject, students will explore the implementation of clinical best practice in healthcare and the ethical implications of clinical quality improvements for nursing and patients. Students review specific nursing practice from their own clinical specialty and conduct a plan for a clinical audit in order to provide recommendations for best practice. The ethical implications of changes to nursing practice or quality improvements are considered, with particular reference to informed consent and 'benefits versus harms' for patients. Clinical audit presentations are delivered at Melbourne (or online) and disseminated to 'host' healthcare organisations via a video recording or livestream.
