Reference no: EM132289844

Part 1

The HCAHPS data for the Emergency Department would indicate there are areas where the care and services are not up to par, as compared to state or national standards.

Using Kotter's work as described in Chapter 16 of your text, and other change models from the reading, write a 3- to 4-page (excluding title page and references) analysis of the performance data for the Emergency Department, comparing the medical care and services to state and/or national standards. Provide recommendations for strategies to improve the Emergency Department substandard performance indicators.

Part 2 a ( separate from part b DO NOT MIX THEM)

Organizations and communities that attain the Triple Aim will have healthier populations, in part because of new designs that better identify problems and solutions further upstream and outside of acute health care. Patients can expect less complex and much more coordinated care and the burden of illness will decrease.

Importantly, stabilizing or reducing the per capita cost of care for populations will give businesses the opportunity to be more competitive, lessen the pressure on publicly funded health care budgets, and provide communities with more flexibility to invest in activities, such as schools and the lived environment, that increase the vitality and economic wellbeing of their inhabitants.

Part 2 b

This week the Final Project is designed to give you an opportunity to analyze a quality improvement program. You will analyze data related to benchmarks and national standards and suggest two goals for initiatives that address any deficiencies/opportunities in quality. Anticipated outcomes will also be identified, and appropriate time frames to re-evaluate data and provide a new analysis will be addressed.

To prepare:

Read the case study Patient Safety at Grand River Hospital & St. Mary's General Hospital in your Learning Resources.

Conduct an analysis of the case and write a 10- to 12-page (excluding title page and references) report including:

• Data analysis against benchmarks and national standards

• Observations about where quality improvements are needed

• Goals for initiatives that address those deficiencies/opportunities in quality

• Outcomes that are anticipated in order to accomplish the initiatives

• Appropriate time frames to re-evaluate data and provide a new analysis. Justify your response
