As a nurse leader, you will be called upon to collect and analyze data, then to use the data to drive change.
For this assignment, you will be presented with two sets of data. Both sets are representative of the occurrence of pressure ulcers in long-stay nursing home patients.
One set of data (NHQDR) represents national data as compared to the state of Georgia.
The second data set (Medicare.gov) is specific for the nursing home in Georgia where you are the supervisor. View and interpret the data specific to pressure injury rates.
After you interpret the data in Part 1, you will create a staff in-service to address the identified concerns in Part 2.
Access the data by scanning the QR code to the right.
If you are unable to use the QR code, the data is available here.
