Quality Improvement: Banners Health Center Phoenix
Assessment Description
Identify a quality improvement opportunity in your organization or practice. In a 1,250-1,500 word paper, describe the problem or issue and propose a quality improvement initiative based on evidence-based practice. Apply "The Road to Evidence-Based Practice" process, illustrated in Chapter 4 of your textbook, to create your proposal.
Include the following:
1. Provide an overview of the problem and the setting in which the problem or issue occurs.
2. Explain why a quality improvement initiative is needed in this area and the expected outcome.
3. Discuss how the results of previous research demonstrate support for the quality improvement initiative and its projected outcomes. Include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources published within the last 5 years, not included in the Class Resources or textbook, that establish evidence in support of the quality improvement proposed.
4. Discuss steps necessary to implement the quality improvement initiative. Provide evidence and rationale to support your answer.
5. Explain how the quality improvement initiative will be evaluated to determine whether there was improvement.
6. Support your explanation by identifying the variables, hypothesis test, and statistical test that you would need to prove that the quality improvement initiative succeeded.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
NOTE: APA 7th edition style, sources within 5 years and good citations. Please i think is a proposal so include all the 6 requirement stated. I trust you to do a good job. Thanks

Quality Improvement: Banners Health Center Phoenix Problem Overview At the moment, Banners Health Center Phoenix is experiencing a rise in skill-oriented medical mistakes in the diagnostic, treatment-based, and preventative categories. Diagnostic medical mistakes encountered include incorrect and late diagnosis, failing to complete needed tests, failing to use precise criteria for therapy, and failing to respond to test results. Therapy errors include mistakes in medical procedures, errors caused while giving treatment, pharmaceutical errors, drug delays, and incorrect patient care. The lack of preventative therapies provision and poor evaluation and follow-up are the errors noticed in the preventive aspect of medical services. Medical checks, colonoscopies, and mammography screenings were limited in provision services, and these preventative therapies provide procedures to avoid the reoccurrence of medical infections or injuries. The rationale for Quality Improvement in the Health Organization Diagnostic health mistakes can significantly influence a patient’s treatment plan and the road to recovery. Obtaining a delayed or incorrect diagnosis can significantly hamper a patient’s recovery and, in some cases, lose their lives if they. In the United States alone, an estimated 30,000 to 75,000 individuals die due to diagnostic errors, and many more suffer severe impairment (Backhouse & Ogunlayi, 2020). To avoid such losses, Banner Health must increase the quality of its diagnostic processes. Efficient diagnosis boosts the efficacy of therapy and helps the infected patient’s hypothesis event long-term health consequences. Patients who become undiagnosed can inadvertently spread infections to others. Thus, early detection can assist in preventing and controlling an outbreak. Backhouse and Ogunlayi add that (2020) physicians and therapists use a diagnosis to provide the patient with treatment options and potential health concerns. As a result, quality in diagnosis is a critical element of patient recovery. Most treatment mistakes are clear because improper therapies have immediate and visible adverse effects. When patients are prescribed to take a drug to which they are allergic, which is vividly documented in their medical records, they experience unwanted body reactions. Such an error may cause further damage (Singh et al., 2019). Patients may endure unfavorable responses due to the hospital’s neglect in treatment, and the reactions might have moderate or severe repercussions. As a result, it is critical to verify that treatment is correct and appropriate for the diagnosis. Preventative medicine mistakes harm patients because doctors cannot recognize illnesses before they manifest signs and symptoms. For instance, doctors who do not prescribe mammographic screening frequently for primary breast cancer prevention have higher proportions of breast cancer diagnosis at later stages (Singh et al., 2019). Such limitations in prevention lead to more diagnoses in more patients and may cause congestion in hospitals as preventive measures are not of adequate quality. Diagnostic quality improvements will include teamwork entailing patient, healthcare professionals, and family member engagement in the process, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to improve accuracy (Backhouse & Ogunlayi, 2020). Treatment quality enhancement will integrate diagnostic-based treatment plans and medical record analysis to determine the best options for patient care. Forming an infection control team that seeks to limit the spread of diseases and complicated symptoms will lead to quality prevention (Backhouse & Ogunlayi, 2020). The expected outcome in quality improvement in the three areas is improved delivery of diagnostic services, better and well-qualified treatment plans and options, and high-quality prevention models that limit the high spread of infections and diagnosis rates. As a result, one expects Banners Health Center to offer quality medical care for clients and accomplish their objectives and mission for the organization. Previous Research Assessment Hashish and Alsayed’s research on quality improvement in Egyptian hospitals indicates that nurses displayed positive attitudes when quality improvement was adopted in diagnostic and treatment. For instance, 65.3% of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses demonstrated that quality improvement leads to better patient outcomes, such as quick recoveries and reduced hospitalization stays (Hashish & Alsayed, 2020). Thus, these figures demonstrate the recorded variation arising from the changes. Another study by White, Buttermouth, and Wells in Ireland was focused on identifying whether quality improvement leads to higher levels of engagement in medical professionals. The primary goal of their study was to determine if quality improvement aids ward-based teams to maintain higher engagement in diagnosis and treatment based on a national assessment on ‘work engagement.’ Overall, the findings indicated that the control group, which was of equal size and was not participating in a quality improvement program or enhancement activity, had les...
