Question

The pulmonary division's Quality Improvement (QI) team has multiple quality improvement projects they are expecting to launch within the next year. One project has a goal of reducing the number of failed insertions of arterial line placements in patients scheduled to have a cardiopulmonary exercise study. As the QI team conceptualizes, you as the team lead instruct the team to use which among the QI tools at the very beginning of this project? O Developing a histogram chart of the number of failed arterial line insertions O Developing a project charter O Assessing the root cause analysis for failed arterial line insertions O Developing a Value Stream Map

Explanation / Answer

ANS: DEVELOPING A PROJECT CHARTER

Project charter tool is useful for to determine the goals, rationale for performance improvement and also describe the predictable barriers and resources needed for a team .

Assessing the root cause analysis for failed arterial line segments-Root cause analysis is a quality improvent tool using method of problem solving for identifying the root cause of faults or problems .

Developing a histogram chart of the number of failed arterial line insertions -It is a graphical representation of the data , it may be used as a tool for knowing the frequency of failed insertions but doesnot give a solution

Developing a value stream map- It is a QI tool using method of flow diagram to analyse and improve the steps in the process to deliver good care to the client.
