NHS-FPX8040-_Assesssment 4-1 SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis

Strengths
• The team has individuals with immense skills and knowledge that are relevant to issues involving the quality and safety of patient care.
• The project focuses on one of the fundamental areas that influence brand credibility and patient satisfaction. As such, key statistics such as patient fall rates and injuries guide the care team to make informed decisions on the value of hourly rounding checklists.
• Using hourly rounding checklists will strengthen vigilance and promote interdisciplinary collaboration (Morris et al., 2022).
• The high-priority nature of the project will reduce costs, readmissions, prolonged hospitalization, and other adverse outcomes that undermine organizational competencies.

Weakness

• Incomplete patient falls and injuries records may limit the project team from developing a comprehensive hourly rounding checklist.
• There is no guarantee that the care team will adhere to the rounding procedures at all times.
• The healthcare team may overlook environmental issues such as lighting that also expose patients to falls and injuries and instead focus more on the patient’s condition.
