Parents' and healthcare professionals' perceptions of the quality of care: A PITSTOP model of caring

et al. 2019

Background Quality of care is measured by various indicators. Besides objective quantifications, it is necessary to understand the meaning of quality of care from the perspectives of patients, families, and healthcare professionals. Objectives This study aimed to understand parents' and healthcare professionals' perceptions of the quality of care. Methods This was a secondary data analysis of two qualitative studies examining parents' and healthcare professionals' perceptions of caring in 2014 and 2018, respectively. Both studies took place in a children's hospital in the United States. There were 40 participants, 13 parents of children undergoing heart surgery and 27 healthcare professionals. The current study focused on parents' and healthcare professionals' viewpoints about the quality of care. Results Seven themes emerged: patient‐centered care, interprofessional collaboration, team communication, safety and security, trusting relationships, optimal outcomes, and positive patient experiences. The acronym PITSTOP was developed to enable healthcare professionals to recall the elements deemed as important to the quality of care by parents and professionals. Conclusions This study brought up a novice opinion that healthcare should be like a “pitstop,” not just a “repair shop.” Healthcare encounters may be brief but invaluable in helping patients and families succeed in their health promotion.

“…13,31 Right Workload Establishing an appropriate workload is complicated and not always easy to achieve. However, when nurses have to assume responsibility for too many patients, or patients with too many complicated needs, the likelihood of error goes up (Boytim & Ulrich, 2018). 17,[29][30][31] Right Environment…”

Nurses’ rights of medication administration: Including authority with accountability and responsibility

Medication errors continue to occur too frequently in the United States. Although the five rights of medication administration have expanded to include several others, evidence that the number of errors has decreased is missing. This study suggests that medication rights for nurses as they administer medications are needed. The historical marginalization of the voice of nurses has been perpetuated with detrimental impacts to nurses and patients. In recent years, a focus on the creation of a just culture, with a balance of accountability and responsibility, has sought to bring a fairer and safer construct to the healthcare environment. This paper proposes that in order for a truly just culture to exist, the balance must also include nurses' authority. Only when a triumvirate of responsibility, accountability, and authority exists can an environment that supports reduced medication errors flourish. Through identification and implementation of Nurses Rights of Medication Administration, nurses' authority to control the administration process is both formalized and legitimized. Further study is needed to identify these rights and how to fully implement them.
