For example,“Stephanie, I would like for my unit to measure and share our fall rate; especially the fall rate with injury. I work on a geriatric unit in a Boston hospital. Just last week we had a resident fall and break her arm. We were talking at break about the number of falls these last few months. We do not have any regular data presented to us.”
OR“Stephanie, we have a similar program looking at customer/client experience. Monthly we are presented the patient satisfaction data. We have small unit based committee that works to find ways to improve our scores. Our goals is to have X by the end of the year.”
