The director of CQI has called a meeting of all the interprofessional team members on your floor. Based on last quarter's statistics, the readmission rate of patients who have infections after hip replacements for osteoarthritis is twice that of patients for the first half of the year. The director has requested that the staff identify members who wish to be CQI team members investigating this problem. You, the staff nurse, have volunteered to be a member of the team. The team will consist of the physical therapist on the unit, a physician's assistant who works with the hospital orthopedic surgeons, the clinical educator, the nursing case manager, and you.
What data need to be collected to evaluate this situation?
