Submission Example: 

Entry Title: Use the activity name and point value when creating the title for your submission, example, KS Train Module 鈥� 1 point.  

 For this activity, I completed a module through KS Train. The training module I completed was Public Health Ethics, as part of my PHS 300 course at 黑洞社区. This course is instrumental in understanding ethics within healthcare, as it compared several healthcare conflicts and situations to help me make the best ethical decisions. By applying my healthcare knowledge to real-life scenarios, I was challenged to work within ethical frameworks. This exposure allowed me to see various situations that I might not have considered and explore effective solutions, enabling me to confidently address similar issues in the future. Understanding public health ethics is crucial for healthcare workers to handle daily tough decisions respectfully. 

This course helped me identify good principles of decision-making and incorporate ethics into healthcare practices. The portfolio activity aligns with evidence-based practice as I engaged with real-life scenarios to enhance my understanding and test my decision-making skills based on what I had learned. By applying classroom knowledge to this module and learning additional material, I took a significant step toward a healthcare career. Overall, this course provides future healthcare workers with an excellent opportunity to simulate real-life experiences and practice ethical decision-making, ensuring they are well-prepared for their professional roles.

Submission Example: 

Entry Title: Use the activity name and point value when creating the title for your submission, example, IHI Basic Certificate in Quality & Safety - 3 Points. 

Through the Institute of Healthcare Improvement, I was able to complete their Basic Certificate in Quality & Safety. This nearly 18 hour certification course required knowledge of evidence based practice & quality improvement; teaching improvement capability, patient safety, person- & family-centered care, leadership, and Triple Aim. The most valuable information I gained from this course was the use of different models, especially in harm reduction. Tools like the 鈥楽wiss Cheese Model鈥� and 鈥楢sk Me 3鈥� might not be the most valuable tools, but they are great to keep in mind when talking about patient safety and individual-based care. As a Health Management major especially, I felt it was very valuable considering this would be out of my in-person purview at a future job. Although I wouldn鈥檛 work with patients hands on, it is never any less my responsibility to make sure they are properly taken care of and hold their providers accountable. This is very fitting considering the entire basis of the course is quality improvement (QI). Methods like the Swiss Cheese Model mentioned above are especially important here because of their evidence based practice involved. There is an example used in the training above of a girl with an infected central line, because of both overall improper protocol along with a nurse not washing her hands. Practices like these are not just for patient-centered care or leadership, it鈥檚 about evidence-based protocols and their important role in quality improvement for a healthcare facility.
