MG Problem Solving Process

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.

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.

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.
