CQI is a process in which current practices and evaluated andmodified continuously in an attempt to reach patient satisfaction. Continuousquality improvement is defined by the American Society for Quality (ASQ) as aphilosophy and attitude for analyzing capabilities and processes and improvingthem repeatedly to achieve customer satisfaction (Huber, 2014 p. 292). CQI isalso known for identifying and calculating quality issues, developing andapplying solutions and reassessing outcomes. The Agency for HealthcareResearch and Quality defined CQI as, techniques for measuring quality problems,designing interventions and their implementation, along with processre-measurements (Huber, 2014 p. 292).Many disciplines, including nurses, are joined to createteams to help identify and implement changes where patient satisfaction islacking. Continuous quality improvement teams, project teams, andproblem-solving teams are examples of ad hoc teams found across settings andsites (Huber, 2014 p. 135). Nurses are committed to providing CQI throughtheir code of ethics and scope of professional practice. Nurses are bound bytheir professional associations Code of Ethics and scope of professionalstandards to participate in the continuous improvement of the services theyprovide (Huber, 2014 p. 293). The participation of nurses in CQI is necessaryproblem recognition and preparing a proposal for changes. Nurses' involvementwith continuous quality improvement and performance improvement systemsprovides a basis for participation in strategic planning that is systematic andthorough (Huber, 2014 p. 336).An example of how I would apply CQI in my current positionwould be to recognize the issues that may be interfering with patientsatisfaction. The nurses on the floor spend the most time with the patients andhear a majority of their concerns and complaints so discussing issues withstaff would be a good place to start. Having members of the leadership teamround daily to establish a relationship with the patients so they can voicetheir experience is important. Leadership rounds should include gathering informationto understand the patients perspective and satisfaction. By receivinginformation directly from the patient we can quickly address their concerns andissues, increasing patient satisfaction.
