Question Answered step-by-step Scenario: Imagine that you are one of the nurse managers for the… Scenario: Imagine that you are one of the nurse managers for the emergency department (ED) at a local hospital. Over the last 90 days, there has been an increase in waiting times for patients in the ED. Leadership has noticed multiple critical vacancies within the ED and other support areas at the hospital. The triage area of the ED has been closed for several weeks due to staffing shortages. Incoming patients are being triaged, evaluated, and treated at the same time by the same healthcare team. All this has increased the workload for the staff on duty and this has led to further attrition. Which of the problem-solving tools would you use to identify the root cause of this problem? Consider such tools as root cause analysis (RCA); plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycle; strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT) analysis; or the fishbone diagram. Be sure to justify your selected tool, describing how it would be implemented in providing an accurate and efficient analysis of the problem.
