NR505 Wk7Assignment Evidence Based Practice Change Project Proposal.docx NR 505 Evidence-based Practice Project Proposal Chamberlain University College of Nursing NR 505: Advanced Research Methods: Evidenced Based Practice Nursing Practice Concern/Problem The MSN specialty track I am currently enrolled in is the executive tract. I am currently the manager for the Operating Room in my hospital. The area of concern I have identified is patient safety in the operating room, specifically near miss/wrong side/site/patient surgery. Studies show 48%-66% of adverse events in hospitals are related to surgery; 54% of these events were found to be preventable, near misses are more frequent than actual events, and several of them were serious enough to ominously increase patient morbidity and mortality (Kumar & Raina, 2017). In my operating room, over the past year, we have had several near miss events involving wrong side/site/patient surgeries, some were not caught until the patient was actually in the operating room. We also had an actual wrong site surgery. This is a concern as The Joint Commission requires hospitals to meet National Patient Safety Goals, one of which requires providers to utilize a process preoperatively that is inclusive of the patient/family in addition to the surgical team in order to verify and confirm patient identity, surgical site, and surgical procedure in order to prevent wrong side/site/patient surgery from occurring. (Hofman & Lobaton, 2016). A wrong side/site/patient event is classified as a sentinel event a. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
