there are 5 questions to answer. i need minimum 80 words for each (minimum 400 words total)
will be submitted to turnitin so make sure to make this original work!
Childcare Facilities
Working parents need the safe and healthy environment extended to childcare facilities. Some parents choose to have a family member or care provider come into their homes. Others rely on childcare centers or home day care centers. Parents want their children to be safe, but they also want an appealing physical and social environment for their children. An adequate space that allows your child to run freely and be safe is an appealing physical environment, but you also want caring adults to facilitate the development of your childs social, emotional, and cognitive characteristics.
When you choose a method of childcare for your child, you should check to see that the center is licensed by a state authority or registered with a state authority. Licensed childcare centers are monitored for safety. Family childcare centers that operate inside homes do not need licensing in many states; but most need to register with the state authority and operate under specific rules and regulations.
Use a search engine to find your state governments licensing regulations. You may also search for a state childcare association.
Example: If you live in Pennsylvania, you can use a search engine with the keywords: start, license, day, child, care, center, Pennsylvania.
Once you find the appropriate website and information answer the questions on the attached document.

Using Improvement Science Models to Promote Quality and Safety
Quality improvement and patient safety are imperative clinical targets supported by policy, patient advocacy, and healthcare professional groups but lack sufficient research to determine which improvement strategy is best (Improvement Science Research, 2013). The two improvement models that could be implemented to drive change in my organization and improve the occurrences of medication errors are the change acceleration process model (CAP), and the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA). These two processes could help promote change in the workplace through identifying the problem, analyzing, and determining what changes should be made and the method of change. The CAP works in conjunction with Lean Six Sigma to accelerate change management. The PDSA model is a rapid, sequential, and cumulative learning cycle that provides valuable outcome data within the on-going work of care teams (Ernst et al., 2010). In the PDSA model, organizations plan, review, study, and act on interventions to improve change. The CAP model requires organizations to be responsive in identifying the error, and be responsive in developing strategies and techniques to implement change. Both models can be utilized in my organization to help develop skills, and resources to implement positive change and promote patient safety which is the ultimate goal.
Quality improvement (QI) science is a flexible systems-based approach for improving the quality of health care delivery within daily clinical practice (Polk, 2011). After further research, the improvement model I would use to improve medication errors would be CAP. This CAP model requires effective communication and leadership involvement to drive and accept change in the organization. CAP contributes to patient safety, higher quality, and effective business models necessitate the use of many different techniques that are available in the industrial, health care, and business industries (Polk, 2011). The quality aim I would relate the CAP model to would be effective. The CAP model has been proven to be effective when organizations utilize techniques to promote patient safety. The key to the successful use of any tool is the support of the leadership structure behind it and the acceptance by those who have to implement it (Polk, 2011).

Main Discussion Post: Discussion – Week 7
NURS-6231: Healthcare Systems and Quality Outcomes
Using Improvement Science Models to Promote Quality and Safety
Hospitals and health care facilities face a variety of quality concerns that must be closely monitored and quickly resolved in order to protect the patient population as well as the reputation of the organization. The purpose of this discussion is to select and analyze two improvement models that could be used to foster a culture of quality and safety, and to explain how one of these models could be used to address a quality improvement issue within my organization.
Improvement Models
There is an array of improvement models that can be used in health care organizations in order to support in creating an environment of patient safety and quality. The two improvement models that will be discussed are the Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) Cycle and the Six-Sigma Model. The PDSA Cycle was created by Edward Denning and is a change model that can be utilized to make positive change through setting necessary objectives, implementing these objectives, ensuring that improvements are successfully enforced, and ensuring that the desired results are achieved (Donnelly and Kirk, 2015).
The Six-Sigma Model is an improvement model that was created by the Motorola Corporation as an attempt to improve manufacturing quality and performance (Polk, 2011). The process consists five steps that include defining the process that is in need of improvement, measuring the current performance of the process, analyzing possible weaknesses in the current process while identifying best practice methods, designing the improvements that are needed to overcome past weaknesses, and verifying that the implemented corrective actions will be successful in achieving the desired process improvement (Polk, 2011).
Addressing Quality Improvement Issues
The quality improvement issue in my organization is medication and breastmilk administration errors in which I would use the PDSA cycle to address improvement strategies. I would start by creating objectives that could be used to reduce and eventually eliminate these errors through researching best practices and identifying the sources of the weakness. These objectives would be implemented through employee education of evidenced based research. I would ensure that these improvements are successfully enforced with close monitoring through audits and safety reports. Finally, I would ensure that the desired results were achieved through conducting employee evaluation of the implemented practices, and the continuation of audits and safety reports. According to Tzelepis, Sanson-Fisher, Zucca, and Fradgley (2015), the Institute of Medicine (IOM) utilizes six aims as the foundation for using patient-reported measures as a source for quality and patient safety improvements. Utilizing the PDSA improvement model in addressing medication and breastmilk administration errors would assist in achieving all six of the IOMs aims for improving quality and safety as these implementations would prove to be safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable.
