Scholarly Activity Summary
Overview
This scholarly activity that I was involved in was a filter meeting. The meeting was done by interdisciplinary members who usually meet on a monthly basis to discuss the variations in the quality of hospitals. The events included patient falls and delay of care as well as wrong procedures for surgery. This team included 12 members and people who have an agenda for the meeting. Filter meeting determines the process gaps and assigning the scores within the activities. The main target in the hospital was to relate the lessons learned and how they could apply on the enterprise basis. The meeting was beneficial to me as a nurse because it improved my understanding of the cause and improve my skills and understanding of professional capstone and practicum course. Exposure to this meeting changed my view of evaluating situations especially when it comes to a local unit.
Problem
The meeting that I had attended offered me 8 cases for the review process:
•Wrong sites procedures (1)
•Delays of healthcare (1)
•Medications Errors (2)
•Patients fall (4)
The Filter Committee that I was involved in reviewed various facets of this cases. In each of the cases, there was an application of an algorithm through a series of breast questions to help in determining whether the cases were serious with a scale of (1-10), there was also a scale of potential safety events (1-10) and a good catch.
Solution
1. Wrong sites of procedure: the score as PS1, they are different gaps identified in practice.

The unit director updated policies through providing staff education
2. The Delays of care provision: The score for this category was Near Miss. There are no gaps identified, and physicians will review their variations.
3. Medications Errors 1: The scope of this category was good to catch, there’s the need to have for the occasion for the specified unit.
5. Patients Fall: There were two cases of false network followed in the procedures. Recommendations were made for the waiting room to allow patients to make transfers without fall safely.
Opportunity
This activity added a basis to my knowledge on how the scores are supposed to be determined. It also showed me how events are compared to the hospital policies. With their studies in this scholarly activity, I am not able to meet the computers is required within the profession. My experiencing collaborations with the leaders to address a range of issues within the healthcare, my knowledge of tremendously increased. Attending the filter meeting allowed me to improve on communication our collaboration with interdisciplinary health teams to provide healthy and effective care.
