Taming Chaos by Taking Control™

Timely Education for Performance Improvement

With clinical nurses in mind, this step-by-step self-study course provides an educational example of successful performance improvement over a 24- month period.

To my nursing colleagues we hope that, after completing this step-by-step course, you will also be inspired to take your patient’s experience to the next level of quality care and patient safety.

Please see what three of your nursing colleagues have said after taking this self-study course:

Crystal D., MBA, BSN, RN

“This self-study course, TAMING CHAOS BY TAKING CONTROL TM , is simple, easy to follow, and relevant to any nurse working with patients. The 5-Step model for performance improvement follows a story of reassessment of pain within 30 minutes of parenteral injection for a 24-month study. The test questions are relevant to the course and answers can be found in the self-study course, or the PowerPoint deck. Most importantly, I loved being able to obtain all my 30-BRN contact hours in one amazing self-study course. I highly recommend this individual self-study course to nurses who want to learn more about performance improvement in the healthcare setting.”

Julie S., MSN, RN

“Great CEU course which provided me the tools and skill set to improve patient safely and quality of care at the bedside. Collecting and analyzing data for quality improvement has always felt daunting, but this course presented the material in an approachable and understandable way. Highly recommend!”

Cindie F., DNP, MSN,/Ed., RN, PHN, CCRN

“MB HEALTHWORKS, LLC introduced a 5-Step unique performance improvement model: Taming Chaos by Taking Control TM , to our large community hospital. As a hospital with a lack of resources, MB HEALTHWORKS was able to take performance improvement training to the front-line staff, as well as to the medical staff and hospital leadership. The results were astounding, significantly improving our hospital’s standing in several required performance improvement measured and tracked outcomes.  

During the pandemic, Taming Chaos by Taking Control TM was transformed into a 30-contact hour self- study course. With the same philosophy, creativity, and strategies for performance improvement, this course provides front-line nursing staff with the inspiration to not only participate in performance improvement activities in the organization, but to better understand the importance of quality and safety for their patients.  

I recently took this course and I highly recommend it to all nurses.”
