NURS FPX 6030 Assessment 1 Conference Call Scheduling and Notes

Topic	Notes
Documentation	Gather data on Hand Hygiene (HH) compliance among healthcare staff working in acute care units at Benedictine Healthcare. The records will include pre- and post-intervention HH audit results, observational checklists, staff feedback surveys, and logs of HH training sessions. Keep a record of 20 fieldwork hours toward the mandatory 100 clinical hours, subject to the coordinator’s authorization. This log will record staff engagement, compliance trends, and challenges encountered during the implementation of the HH education intervention.
	Action item: Acquire the preceptor’s response and support before initiating information gathering. Firstly, secure informed agreement from participating staff members for observation and data use. Then, organize with unit managers to retrieve HH compliance records and schedule observation periods. Thirdly, consistent certification patterns for recording HH audit results, staff training attendance, and feedback. Fourthly, organize sessions to conduct baseline and follow-up HH compliance assessments. Finally, review facility policies on staff privacy, observational protocols, and data confidentiality to ensure ethical compliance.
PICOT	“In healthcare staff working in acute care settings (P), does the execution of organized HH education (I), compared to standard HH practices without focused training (C), improve HH compliance rates (O) over four weeks (T)?”
	Action item: Expand a complete HH improvement plan integrating current education, visual reminders, and real-time feedback approaches. Cooperate with nursing leadership and infection control staff at Benedictine Healthcare to recruit eligible acute care staff for participation. Obtain informed consent and record baseline HH compliance rates for assessment. Execute the plan, safeguarding staff engagement within consistent training sessions and observation. Monitor compliance weekly, collect post-intervention data after four weeks, and assess the plan’s efficiency compared to baseline compliance and benchmark practice results.NURS FPX 6030 Assessment 1 Conference Call Scheduling and Notes
Clinical Hours	Practicum hours will emphasize executing the HH improvement plan, with staff instruction sessions, conducting HH audits, and tracking compliance before and after the intervention. Additional time will be dedicated to observing HH practices, collaborating with infection control and unit staff, and analyzing the effectiveness of the intervention over the four weeks. Efforts will include providing feedback to staff and documenting progress, challenges, and outcomes to support quality improvement initiatives.
	Action item: Pursue consent from the preceptor to begin clinical hours focused on HH improvement.Choose how the 100 hours will be assigned across key phases: planning, education delivery, observation, data collection, and evaluation.Assess staff knowledge and awareness regarding proper HH techniques and infection control practices.Schedule clinical hours to conduct HH education sessions, implement the intervention, and perform weekly follow-up audits.Document staff compliance rates, training participation, and observed practices, then compare post-intervention outcomes to baseline data and standard HH protocols.NURS FPX 6030 Assessment 1 Conference Call Scheduling and Notes
Review	A methodical and vital examination of the accessible research on HH improvement interventions among healthcare staff in Benedictine Healthcare. Emphasis is placed on research exploring the effectiveness of structured HH education, visual reminders, and real-time feedback in improving compliance rates. The efficacy of these interventions is compared to standard HH practices in terms of outcomes such as increased compliance, reduced healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), and enhanced patient safety. The analysis also evaluates intervention designs, staff engagement strategies, and the long-term sustainability of improved HH practices within clinical settings.
	Action item: Explore for the newest peer-reviewed papers (from the past five years) focusing on HH interventions among Benedictine Healthcare staff.Review evidence on the impact of structured HH education, reminders, and feedback on compliance rates and HAI reduction.Summarize key findings regarding the efficiency of these strategies in promoting sustained HH practices.Identify and emphasize intervention approaches that show potential for future implementation in similar healthcare settings to support long-term compliance and patient safety.NURS FPX 6030 Assessment 1 Conference Call Scheduling and Notes
Stakeholder Involvement	Involve nurses, infection control specialists, unit managers, and hospital leadership in the intervention. Healthcare staff in acute care units will participate in the HH improvement initiative. Administrative staff will assist with data collection and audit tracking, while leadership will ensure that the intervention aligns with organizational goals and infection prevention standards. Stakeholders will provide feedback throughout the implementation and evaluation phases to guide adjustments and support sustained compliance.
	Action item: Recognize important shareholders such as nurses, infection prevention staff, unit supervisors, and hospital leadership to back the HH strategy. Plan consultations to bring into line aims, clarify roles, and ensure consistent messaging. Involve healthcare staff through structured education sessions and regular communication about HH expectations and practices. Collaborate with clinical and administrative workers for information gathering, observation, and response. Uphold open communication channels to encourage stakeholder contribution, reinforce accountability, and ensure the plan’s achievement.
