Assessment 3 Risk Mitigation Plan

Complete a risk mitigation plan and a 4–page explanation of your plan Introduction Doctor of Nursing Practice-prepared nurses are expected to be instigators of change for the betterment of patients, practitioners, and organizations. The ability to identify and plan for ways to use change to mitigate various risks is critical to improving outcomes for everyone in the healthcare environment. In this assessment, you will demonstrate this by completing a risk mitigation plan and an explanation of your plan. Preparation Note: Remember, the assessments in this course build upon one another. Also, keep in mind that your findings from the SAFER Guides will be used to inform your later assessments. In the previous assessments, you observed opportunities to use technology/informatics to make practice changes, reviewed organization or provider-type performance, and identified real or potential risks associated with the technology/informatics-driven practice change. If you are not familiar with risk mitigation planning, Assessment 3: What Is a Risk Matrix | Effective Risk Assessments may help you get started. If you choose to make revisions based on feedback from a previous attempt, you should highlight your revisions in yellow. For example, if you made revisions from attempt one and would like the instructor to review the content when grading attempt two, the content needs to be highlighted. Therefore, the instructor reviews only the content highlighted on attempts two and three. If the entire paper is highlighted, the paper will be returned ungraded and will count as an attempt. Track changes are not a substitution for highlighted text. Instructions Before you get started, please watch the following video: NURS-FPX8022 Assessment 3 Video. For this assessment, you will create a 4-page paper discussing your mitigation plan for the recommended technology that you chose for the previous assessments. You will start your paper with an introduction providing a summary of the patient safety concerns and a summary of the previously recommended technology. Then, you will use your SAFER Guides findings and resources to create a risk mitigation plan. Overall, your assessment will be assessed based on the following criteria and should be presented in the order listed: Explain your risk mitigation plan. Use the Risk Mitigation Plan Table Template [DOCX] to list the risks identified by the SAFER Guides, the potential occurrence of the risk (frequent, sometimes, never), the potential for harm [(patient or organization) (severe, mild, none)]. Add the table in this template as a properly formatted APA appendix at the end of your assessment. In the body of the paper, include a narrative about the content in the table. Explain any ethical or legal issues that could result from not addressing identified risks. Think about not only what the potential ethical or legal issues, but also the impact on patients, practitioners, and institutions that could result from them. Discuss how your recommended technology complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). How will your recommended technology comply with HIPPA? What measures are in place for cyber security? Justify proposed actions to address identified risks. Make sure you support your justification with cited support from scholarly peer-reviewed literature or evidence-based practice. Identify change management strategies that could help others implement the proposed actions in their practice. Think about who would be implementing your proposed actions and their relevance to your chosen healthcare environment when selecting strategies.
