After reviewing the "DNP Direct Practice Improvement Project
Recommendations" PowerPoint, in addition to using the information
you provided in your application to the GCU doctoral program,
briefly describe a potential topic of interest for your DPI Project.
How do you believe this project will contribute to the body of
knowledge in your field?
Since applying to GCU’s DNP program I have shifted gears completely from
my initial topic of interest. Instead of improving stroke times, I have decided
to focus on reducing sedation times for patients having a biopsy in radiology
at Littleton Adventist Hospital in Littleton (LAH), Colorado. To achieve this, I
would like to implement a nurse-driven scheduling system for pathology
personal. It is well documented sedation should be administered by trained
personal; however, personal administering the sedation is not the only factor
which influences patient outcomes related to sedation (Caperelli-White &
Urman). Sedation medications are not “immediately metabolized”
(Caperelli-White & Urman, p. 422). Because of this it is important to limit
sedation to only what is necessary. Myself, with the approval and support of
my mentor, believe if we give the nursing staff the autonomy to schedule
pathology personal we will reduce procedure times; therefore reduce
sedation times for patients undergoing biopsies in the radiology department.
The potential topic of interest for my Direct Project Improvement (DPI) is:
In radiology patients having a biopsy, what is the effect of nurse driven
scheduling for pathology attendance on decreased sedation times compared
with organizational driven scheduling of pathology attendance within 4
weeks?
