Assessment 4 Virtual Check-in 1
NURS-FPX 9100 Defining Nursing Doctoral Project HERE!
VIRTUAL CHECK-IN AND PROJECT APPROVAL
My first virtual check-in occurred on March 3, 2023, with my instructor, Dr. Conner, and preceptor Adita Flagg. We discussed the approved topic for my quality improvement project, Provider Inbox Management Optimization (PIMO). This project aims to enhance timely provider responses to patients through the portal, supported by evidence indicating the positive impact of time response policies on patients (Steitz et al., 2019). I proposed the implementation of a response time policy to guide staff in responding to messages. Adita confirmed the relevance of this topic for improvement at the project site. Dr. Conner provided additional insights into project implementation, clarifying the PDSA process. The check-in lasted approximately 10 minutes, providing an opportunity for questions and reflections.
PROJECT CHARTER DEVELOPMENT
Currently, I am working on Part II of the Project Charter. Having chosen this project topic at the program’s onset, Part I was swiftly completed by drawing on previous work. However, challenges arise in collaborating with key stakeholders, particularly my preceptor and a work colleague. I aim to review the charter together to make improvements before submission. Despite no current questions, each iteration of topic approval or charter document enhances my learning. I eagerly anticipate implementing the project and making a positive impact.
