increasing or decreasing. What factors could be attributed to the change?
Discuss the communication techniques/methods utilized to inform the staff of the adverse event.
Describe at least two operational or safety processes that might not have been followed that contributed or caused this
event to take place. For instance, describe any regulations or procedures that the professional organization and/or
accrediting agency measures compliance with the standard.
Graph two years of data for your selected adverse event and analyze the data by determining if the frequency is increasing
or decreasing.
What factors could attribute to the change in data over two years?

event.
Describe how processes of continuous quality monitoring could impact the adverse event you chose.

Part Two CQI Tool in theAdverse Event template.
Part Three: Future Prevention (Complete Part Three of the Adverse Event template)
After describing the event in Part One and using a CQI tool in Part Two, apply the PDCA model to summarize the
process and steps that your team would recommend to the CEO to prevent this adverse event from reoccurring.
