I’m studying and need help with a Health & Medical question to help me learn.

 

For the Organizational Communication Plan assessment you will create a 2-3-page executive summary that outlines an analysis of patient satisfaction data and puts forth a communication plan to improve organizational performance and improve patient satisfaction.

INTRODUCTION

Upon completion of the strategic planning process, further strategic thinking is required to determine how to achieve the goals identified. Implementation of the strategy requires setting objectives, and development of plans and budgets that translate into specific action plans (Ginter, Duncan, & Swayne, 2013). Action plans must be developed to link the department or organizational unit, such as surgical unit, human resources, to the overall strategy (Ginter, Duncan, & Swayne, 2013).

The value chains within health care organizations are comprised of those departments or components that create value and ultimately a competitive advantage for the organization (Ginter, Duncan, & Swayne, 2013). Innovation in the health care industry will change the way in which clinical care is delivered. New business models will develop in response to patient demands (Davey, Brennan, & McAdam, 2010). The inability to respond to the demand for innovative health care and new business models will result in the organization losing their competitive advantage. Justifying the need for a new business model requires the organization to understand the needs of the market in which they deliver services (Davey, Brennan, Meenan, & McAdam, 2010).

INSTRUCTIONS

For this assessment, assume you are employed as a strategic planner with Metropolitan Health. Mission and vision are important to the strategic planning process of a health care organization.

For this assessment, consider the following mission and vision statement.

• Mission: Metropolitan Health’s mission is to be the leading provider of the highest quality health care through education, research, and clinical practice.
• Vision: To be the most trusted health care provider of choice for patients of the Sunrise region.

You have been asked to review the most recent patient survey data and develop an executive summary that addresses the data and develops a plan for improvement.

You interpret the data and find that the data from the previous twelve months of patient satisfaction surveys at Metropolitan Health indicate patients are dissatisfied with their overall patient experience. Areas identified as leading causes for dissatisfaction are related to the following:

• The inability to ask their provider questions.
• Difficulty in making appointments.
• The lack of courtesy and respect from staff.

Note: Eighty-five percent of the patients who completed the survey have been seeking services from Metropolitan Health for over three years. Sixty percent said they are not likely to recommend the facility to their friends and family.

Now that you understand the data stated points, develop your executive summary that presents the following to the executive team:

• Analyze operational issues (that is, analyze the data).
  • Where does the data for this scenario come from?
    • If available, what other data sources would you like to consult for your analysis?
  • How can this data be used to analyze operational issues for Metropolitan Health?
    • What areas, or themes emerge as the main issues from the data?
  • How might these issues negatively impact Metropolitan Health if not addressed?
• Recommend current best practices to improve processes and solve operational issues.
  • Compare and contrast best practices for improving patient satisfaction.
  • Make recommendations on improving communication and reducing knowledge gaps between staff and patients.
• Describe the key stakeholders and the importance of addressing their needs.
  • Describe who the stakeholders are.
  • Discuss implications of not communicating to stakeholders.
• Describe effective strategies for communicating the strategic vision of the organization to key stakeholders.
  • Justify the need for the communication plan.
  • Describe the approaches and tools for a health communication plan incorporates the mission and vision.
  • Describe how the communication plan will be evaluated.

Additional Requirements

• Structure: Assessment should be formatted as an executive summary. It is suggested that you make use of the following template:
  • Executive Summary Template [DOCX].
• Length: 2–3 pages (not including the reference page).

Capstone Video: HIPAA Compliance Analysis

[ Music ]

>> Gap analysis right?

>> Right.

>> Do me a favor and summarize it, I don’t have time to read this right now.

>> Sure. I did a random sweep of floors and public areas looking for violations for both HIPPA and our own internal policies regarding protected health information.

>> And.

>> I was not impressed. In a lot of places I found monitors turned to face the public. I found patient records left unattended. I could have picked them up and read them and there was nobody even around to stop me. In a lot of areas I found fax machines placed inappropriately and almost everywhere I went staff were discussing PHI in public areas.

>> It’s been pretty much my experience as well.

>> And what I find most disturbing is that a lot of the employees don’t really seem to care because once I’ve determined that they were discussing PHI in a manner which could clearly be heard by others, I would bring it to their attention and I’d get not resistance but sometimes they’d roll their eyes, or sigh just a little too loud.

>> Kind of like it was some burden you were placing on for reminding them to keep patient information confidential.

>> Exactly.

>> So in your option are we seriously out of compliance?

>> That’s right.

>> That’s what I was afraid of.

>> When you read that you’ll see that I’ve made some suggestions of ways to address these problems. The thing is that nine times out of ten this is just carelessness so it’s like if someone’s careless how do you make them care?

>> Good question. How do you make them care?

>> I think it has to start off with more training. You know we instituted these policies and then HIPPA came along and we probably didn’t provide enough training.

>> So you’re recommending mandatory training? We first need to make sure that everyone knows exactly what constitutes protected health information.

>> Right. I’m guessing that not everyone realizes what a broad definition that is. Then we have to stress not leaving PHI in public areas. We have to work with each station to make sure that their fax machine is set up in an appropriate area and then we have to turn those work station monitors around to where the public can’t see them I don’t care if we have to nail them in place.

>> I’d like to see penalties in place for employees that don’t comply with PHI policy. That might provide some incentive for them to do what’s right.

>> Well, we can certainly do that but I was hoping it wouldn’t come to that and that we could stick to positive reinforcement. Even so, I’ve put some suggestions for that in the report.

>> Set up a proposed training schedule by department and run it by me. This can’t wait.

>> You got it.

I have an assignment that need to be done please see instruction blow

Students create a visual of what they really want in their lives.

Brainstorm the perfect life. Think about the most fulfilled life you could possibly imagine at this point in your life. Divide it into categories and create a representation of your vision.

Vision Boards: Advice on Making One

So, what’s the big secret to creating a vision board that works? It’s simple: Your vision board should focus on how you want to feel, not just on things that you want. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to include the material stuff, too. However, the more your board focuses on how you want to feel, the more it will come to life.

There is only one major rule to creating a vision board that works, and it’s that there aren’t any rules. You aren’t going to mess it up, you can create your vision board on your own terms. Here are the answers to the most common questions people ask:

Q: What should I put on my vision board?

A: Anything that inspires and motivates you. The purpose of your vision board is to bring everything on it to life. First, think about what your goals are in the following areas: relationships, career and finances, home, travel, personal growth (including spirituality, social life, education) and health.

You don’t have to cover each area exactly the same, just take a mental inventory of what you want each of those areas to look like and write them down. Always handwrite your goals instead of typing them, there’s something energetic about actually handwriting your goals. From your goals and aspirations, think about what you want on your vision board. Like I said before, what you focus on expands. You’ll be amazed at how things just start popping up all over the place once you set the intention for what you want and how you want to feel.

Q: Should I have one main vision board, or a bunch of small ones for different areas of my life?

A: It’s totally up to you. What makes the most sense in your life? I personally like to have one central vision board that I look at every day in my home office, and I have a few small ones that I’ve made at retreats that I keep around too. Each area of our lives affect each other, so starting with one central vision board usually makes sense. Theme boards that center on specific events or areas of your life are great too, for instance a wedding-day-specific will help you focus on how you want to feel on your big day, or a career specific board at your desk space can help you work towards that promotion.
