    The nurses at Capitol Medical Center 5A needed to replace a worn patient kardex. The old kardex had loose labels that detached easily, wasting staff time. The nurses analyzed the problem and identified alternative solutions. Their preferred solution was to have the staff contribute money to buy new materials and work together to create a new kardex from recycled items. This minimized costs while providing a better organized system to record patient information. After implementing this plan, the nurses evaluated that the new kardex solved the problems and made better use of resources.

    PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESS
    Clinical Area: Capitol Medical Center 5A
    Inclusive Dates/Shift: January 8, 2015 (6-2)
    General Objective: To determine the existing problem in the area and to conduct necessarily actions to solve the situation.
    Statement of
    Problem and Cues

    Analysis
    (Scientific and
    Situational)

    Alternative
    Course of Action

    Problem:

    Scientific:

    The need to replace the


    worn kardex with a new
    one

    A newly created
    kardex has a rigid space to
    be filled by the patients
    and physicians name, and
    general information sheet.

    A.

    This provides fewer


    nuisances in having to
    repeatedly return the easily
    removed sheets. Also, it
    provides less time to scan
    the folio. Interchange is as
    well prevented since there
    is a less chance of
    detachment and return of
    labels.

    B.

    Cues:

    Loose placement of
    labels, including
    names of the patient
    and the physician
    Easily removed
    data sheet
    A lot of time
    consumed to scan the
    sheets
    Medication card
    doesnt fit

    Situational:
    The kardex is worn

    Implementation

    Plan C was used.

    It was the most


    feasible among the
    identified courses.

    The group contributed


    money to buy the
    materials.

    A contribution was
    needed to fund the
    project.

    Recycled materials
    were gathered and
    used.

    Use of recycled
    materials minimized
    the cost of the project
    and enabled use of
    resources wisely.

    This was done to meet


    the goal and provide a
    better kardex to be
    utilized in the ward.

    Solicit for donations to buy


    materials to be used in
    making a new kardex

    Provide the staff nurses


    with materials to be used
    and let them create their
    kardex

    Rationale

    C.
    Ask the group to contribute
    for the materials and
    cooperate in making the
    kardex

    A new kardex similar


    to the old one was
    formed by the group.

    Evaluation

    1. Involved the staff in


    identifying the
    problems of the ward.
    ( / )Yes ( )No

    2. Generated suggestions
    and recommendations
    for the resolution of
    problems.
    ( / )Yes ( )No

    3. Assessed the problem.


    ( / )Yes ( )No

    4. Identified appropriate
    strategies to obtain the

    out and has a loose place


    for the labels and data
    sheet,
    causing
    easily
    detachment during scan.
    The continuous need
    to put back the detached
    labels is a nuisance to the
    staff nurses who have
    almost no time to fix and
    check the labels.
    Constant removal may
    result to confusion as to
    where to return those, thus,
    may result to inaccurate
    data and information with
    regard to the patient.
    Root cause:
    Lack of time and
    materials to create a new
    one.
