2015 at Chennai and the surrounding area, the institution has provided shelters, food, safe drinking water
and other essential services like free medical facilities, dresses, personal cleaning items and sanitary pads
and participated in rescue operations in Mambattu and Urapakkam.
A Health education campaign was conducted about the prevention of communicable diseases, water
chlorination and the importance of good sanitation during the post-flood period. The students did the water
chlorination in each house in the water tanks with chlorine tablets in the surrounding villages.
The health teachings are given by using a variety of AV aids and using various teaching methods like role
play, drama, health songs, exhibition, demonstration, quiz and mime. The students are given ample
freedom to plan, implement and evaluate the programs.
The mass education programme was organized in the community to emphasize the importance of growing
trees, plastic-free zone, no-smoking zone, preservation of forests and water bodies. Our students are
participating in the pulse polio immunization programme every year organized by the Government of
Tamilnadu. Dengue source reduction programme and health camp on diabetes mellitus were organized
among the public to meet their needs.

Best Practice- 1
Title
Fishbone model as a clinical teaching method to improve the quality of nursing care through cause and
effect analysis.
1.To identify swiftly the root causes of patients problem and pursue corrective actions
2.To Change a particular quality of care outcome within a system efficiently.
3.To promote patient satisfaction through excellent nursing care services
4.To analyze the cause and effect of any issue inpatient care scenario.
The Context
A fishbone model helps the students to identify the cause of a problem and facilitating them to precisely
diagnose the problem rather than focusing on symptoms. The teacher enables the team of students to focus
on why the problem occurs and not on the history of the problem. It is a simple root cause analysis that is
used for brainstorming issues, and causes of particular problems of patients, which allows for team
consensus to solve the problems.
The Practice
As a quality improvement initiative, the cause of patients problems are explored that contributes to the
outcome and the following steps are taken to change the quality of care outcome.
Steps
1.Problem statement
2.categorization
3.contributing factors
4.Ask: why?
5.Many Ribs: Deeper causes
The teacher helps the group of students to draft a clear problem statement on which all students agree. It is
written at the centre-right of the box and draws a horizontal arrow running to it. Draw the line with an
arrow towards the head of the fish.
Students are facilitated to brainstorm the major categories of causes of the problem such as people,
method, machine, material, and environment and connect them to the backbone in ribs.
Brainstorm an entire list of ideas and place them on ribs all at once.
The teacher repeatedly asks the team of students why that factor is present to generate deeper levels of
cause and to test for the root cause by looking for a cause that appears repeatedly within major categories
and correlates the cause and effects.
Evidence of success
It helps the students to identify the main cause of any problem related to patient care which helps to
recognize bottlenecks in the system. It also promotes patient-centred care, teamwork and collaboration,
evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety and the development of information to support the
decision-making process. The root cause analysis of the problem helps to drive strategies to solve the
problem and it is evaluated by clinical outcome indicators such as incidence of hospital-acquired infection,
patient satisfaction score and needle stick injury etc.
There is no significant problem encountered by the teachers and students to teach fishbone diagrams as a
clinical teaching methodology. It was found interesting by the students to use the fishbone model to solve
any kind of repeated, persisting clinical issues.
