Thank you so much. It is helpful to get insight from someone in the field who has had experience with this. I never would have thought about staffing, however, now that you mention it, I have personally been able to see how staffing can affect patient outcomes with previous jobs I have had. It is definitely an area that needs to be considered and analyzed. I also agree that it would be helpful if all health care organizations nationwide had similar policies to follow regarding the process and implementation of change in order to better patient outcomes. I hope in the future I will be able to become an activist in my workplace and help to provide for better patient outcomes.

I am currently a Nursing student and enrolled in a Leadership class. Our topic we are talking about is outcomes management. This refers to the analysis of the nursing processes in aims of providing better patient outcomes. My goal for this post is to get feedback from other nurse/health care professionals on this topic and see what they have to say. The questions I have for this are: With outcomes management, what part of the multidisciplinary team do you think should be involved? Do you think outcomes management is beneficial for most cares? Do any of your have personal experience with the managing of patient outcomes and being on a team to change policies due to poor patient outcomes? If so, what have you seen to be the most beneficial part in this process? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for this post! We recently adopted and started a DEU program in our school in which some students participated in. It is interesting to get other's perspectives on this as well. We are currently learning about outcomes management in our leadership class and were wondering if there was any research you have done related to DEU and outcomes management (i.e. Did you find out, through analysis of the process in a DEU program, that students had benefited from the program? Also, was there any evidence for patient outcomes on a DEU floor when compared to a non teaching floor or simply a floor with students who were not part of a DEU program? Do you think with the increased focus on communication there was an increased focus and this could have bettered patient outcomes?) We appreciate any feedback! Thank you for the post!
