Quality Management in Healthcare Discussion

I’m studying for my Health & Medical class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

 

Quality management in healthcare has continued to evolve since the introduction of Total Quality Management (TQM).

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world’s largest developer of voluntary international standards. Guidelines were published for implementation of ISO 9000 quality management systems in health care in 2001.

1. List the eight ISO 9000 quality management principles.

2. Select one of the ISO 9000 principles and describe how it could be applied to a situation in health information management.

3.The continual improvement principle states that “The organization should have continual improvement as a permanent objective.” What measures would you put in place to accomplish this principle?

Capstone Video: Delinquent Medical Records and JCAHO

[ Music ]

>> Okay look, if you want to take a break, that’s fine —

>> No, I don’t want to take a break, I want to finish.

>> Okay, so do I, I just don’t want to stress out in the process so look, let’s just take a step back for a minute and relax. We know Jayco is not coming next week, okay, we know we’re not due for another survey for about a year so we have time to check everything out and make sure that we know what we need to do to stay compliant. Don’t worry, we’ll be compliant.

>> I know, I know. Let’s just move on. Next item.

>> Okay. Inpatient surgeries is one of the review items for Jayco, right?

>> Right, yes.

>> Okay, but outpatient surgeries?

>> I’m pretty sure.

>> What about other procedures; endoscopies, cardiac caths?

>> I don’t know, I don’t know. I just — I don’t know. I looked through the Jayco manual, I couldn’t find it. I went through policy and procedure and it is not in there. Now can this possibly never have been documented before? How could that be? Let’s — what’s next on the agenda?

>> We haven’t even finished —

>> No, I know. I don’t know.

>> Okay.

>> Okay? So let’s just move on. Next item is delinquent medical reports.

>> Okay, well this — this, I think, is a behavioral problem.

>> Oh, so what? We should just send them all to the psych ward?

>> No, no. Maybe we should talk to the chief of staff, basically this is just coming up with an incentive for physicians to finish their reports on time, right? So whether it’s a positive incentive or a negative incentive, basically a punishment for physicians who don’t complete their reports in a timely manner, I don’t know. I don’t know which is more effective, maybe the chief of staff can help.

>> You want to talk to them then?

>> I’ll be happy to you.

>> Are we done yet?

>> No.

>> I want to take a break. I need to take a break.

>> Be my guest.

[ Silence ]

>> The denominator for the operative rate should include inpatient reports and outpatient reports, catheterization reports and endoscopy reports and any other procedures requiring dictated reports. The timeliness of the submission of reports is sometimes problematic. In the past, hospitals have tried many methods of positive and negative reinforcement for getting physicians to submit dictated reports in a timely manner, including but not limited to food, raffles or movie tickets. And as a negative reinforcement, taking delinquent charts to the physician’s office, suspending the physician’s admittance privileges and even kicking them off the medical staff.

Watch the video entitled, “Delinquent Medical Records and JCAHO”, and answer the following questions.

1. What should be included as part of the operative rate?

2. What can be done to reduce the number of delinquent medical records?

3. Does Keeler’s and Gonzalez’s reaction surprise you? Why or why not?

Fiscal Management in Healthcare Services Discussion

Question Description

I need an explanation for this Health & Medical question to help me study.

 

There are very few industries that have the unique economic factor in which the majority of its revenue does not come directly from the customer, but from a third party. This unique economic factor is usually referred to as a private health care insurance company. Third party payers are the commercial, governmental, and health care maintenance insurance companies that help providers manage its patient’s accounts. With the change in focus toward the patient as consumer and increasing number of health plans that are high deductible, patients are becoming more involved in deciding where they go for their healthcare needs.

To increase referrals, Krona is beginning to develop a new marketing campaign to target a new patient mix and increase revenues, something that you discussed in your last Individual Project. You have been asked by the chief financial officer (CFO) to collaborate with the marketing director and discuss the importance of having advertising materials for both the health insurance companies and the patients who receive the health care services.

  • List 3 marketing approaches you would use to target potential patients and health care insurance companies.
  • Explain what factors you used in choosing your specific marketing strategies and the purpose of each selection..
  • How should the hospital market their commitment to patients while considering valued based programs, accountable care organizations and bundled payments?

    Some marketing strategies may include the following:

    o Social Media
    o Television/Radio
    o Telemarketing
    o Direct Marketing to customers and referrals

Art Activity Activity to Show Capillary Action in Plants Discussion

Question Description

I don’t know how to handle this Health & Medical question and need guidance.

Activity Plan

Notes:

1- you should use 2D, 3D art.

2- the activity for preschool.

3-picture for materials of set up.

4-clarify the materials set up and how to do the activity in details.

5-the activity.

6-the activity should be open-ended.

7-in the learning object you should include, what the ill learn demonstrate, create….etc

8-related curriculum ideas for math, science and art,

Category or concept:

What is the general art medium you are using? Like marking/drawing tools; 2D collage; 3D collage; paint and finger paint; manipulatives like play dough, goop, etc., Check your text or syllabus for additional categories.

Title of art activity:

You can title your activity anything you’d like; it helps if you include something descriptive.

What to include in your plan:

  1. Learning Objectives:

Objectives must be observable and measurable; this means you can tell

whether or not the child accomplishes them. If you begin the objective

with the phrase “The child will…” or “The child will be able to…”

and follow this with an action word (verb), it might help you in writing your

objectives. For example:

  • “The child will blend primary colors to make a secondary color.”
  • “The child will match his/her actions to the descriptive words ‘fast, slow, high, low.'”
  • “The child will participate in a cooperative experience with other children.”
  1. Materials and set-up needed: Be very descriptive in this section. Include specific details about:
  • So what materials will you need to gather to for the children to enjoy the activity? Be specific and detailed about the color, size, texture, number of items, kinds of items, etc.
  • Share exactly how you will set-up the activity and display materials, including a diagram or picture if that will help. Remember, how you set up the activity should help guide the children to know how many children can join in at once; and suggest how the activity is done. For example, paint brushes next to the water colors with water for cleaning the brush.
  1. How to do the activity/process:

Describe what actions and skills the children will use to participate in this activity. For example, in a finger painting experience, will you be putting the paint on the paper or will the child? Will you push up the children’s sleeves first? If you listed scraping materials in #2, how will the children use them?

  1. Helpful hints and guidance needs:

For example: Will the children wear smocks or cover ups? Will you push up the children’s sleeves first? How will you and the children clean up? Any safety factors?

  1. Modifications:

I’d like you to share how you would modify or make the activity accessible for a child with one of the following disabilities:

  • sensory sensitivity issues OR
  • cognitive delays OR
  • limited use of right side due to cerebral palsy
  1. Two open ended questions and two appropriate comments:
  • Share two open-ended questions AND two appropriate comments that you might use when talking with the children about their art.
  • Remember, open ended means there are many, many different answers!
  • And remember our class discussion about using descriptive not evaluative comments when talking with children about their art work. Something that can help you be descriptive is using the elements of art in your comments.
  1. Resources used – where did you find your art idea?

1 Wicked Problems Notes Theme In their article, dubbed Wicked Problems, Conklin and Weil (1998) discuss one of the most critical themes in organizations- problem-solving. The authors suggest a problem-solving model suited for the more complex and challenging problems facing organizations. They discuss linear and non-linear approaches to problem-solving, showing their differences in solving complex problems. Key Lessons The MCC Elevator Study • The study involved designers tasked with designing elevator systems. • The experiment required designers to think out loud. • The experiment’s analysis revealed that the designers focused on two areas: understanding the problem and designing a solution. They understood the problem by relying on the systems’ requirements and performing mental simulations. • The analysis further revealed that the designers did not follow the traditional waterfall problem-solving model. They worked by jumping from the problem to the solution and back again. • Consequently, problem-understanding continued until the end. • The researchers called this problem-solving approach chaotic or opportunity-driven • They did not follow a linear model, as in working from the problem to the solution. Instead, they employed a non-linear approach. Waterfall Model 2 • It is a linear approach for problem-solving- it starts with understanding the problem and working through designing and implementing a solution. • Understanding the problem may involve data collection and analysis. • It follows an order- data collection, analysis, formulating a solution, and implementing the solution. Opportunity-driven (chaotic) model • It is non-linear • The focus is on identifying the best opportunity to progress. • It is unpredictable and does not follow any order. • Problem solvers continue to try to understand the problem throughout the model. • Problem-solving ends when resources, such as time and money, run out. Wicked Problems Criteria • These are a new class of complex problems affecting many people. • They are ever-evolving and comprise multiple interlocking issues and constraints- it is challenging to understand the problem. In most cases, people understand the problem only after they have developed a working solution. • They involve many stakeholders. Hence they are social- none of the stakeholders can be ignored. Many stakeholders are involved in problem definition, and others form part of the constraints. • Constraints are many and change over time- stakeholders continually discover new information, thus modifying constraints. Changing constraints change the understanding of the problem and potential solutions. Also, new stakeholders may be introduced at later stages, hence introducing new constraints. 3 • They are non-definitive or satisficing- there are no definitive problems and solutions. It is impossible to have a definitive problem statement or solution, regardless of numerous experiments or surveys, because the constraints are dynamic. Since a solution has to be made anyways, the team working on the problem stops when they exhaust resources. Tame Problems • These are problems that can be solved using typical traditional problem-solving approaches, such as the waterfall model. • Linear models can address these problems. • If a problem takes too long to find a solution, the chances are that it is a wicked problem. • Taming a problem refers to trying to reduce a problem to fit a linear problem-solving model. In many cases, taming problems result in frustration and ineffectiveness. Benefits of Opportunity-Driven Problem-Solving • It unleashes creativity • It allows for the natural spontaneity of attention. • Permits sudden changes to welcome new insights • Supports problem expansion, such as when new pieces of the problem emerge • It is qualitative- since problems and solutions are not definitive, people shift their focus to the problem-solving process’s quality. • Values learning over getting a quick fix • It focuses on opportunities for creating synergies, connections, and allies, rather than working alone to fix a problem. 4 Reference Conklin, E.

The Citadel United States Intelligence Analysis Paper

I need support with this Health & Medical question so I can learn better.

 

What are the strengths and weaknesses of how the United States conducts domestic intelligence analysis? Please address the differences between strategic and tactical intelligence assessments for homeland security.

Background

“Homeland security is a new frontier for American intelligence analysis. Prior to 9/11, the United States gave little thought about security and intelligence inside its borders. Illustrative of this fact is that while most countries in the world have ministries of interior that are devoted to internal intelligence and security, the United States has a Department of Interior that oversees such things as national parks.

American political culture and concern over the preservation of civil liberties weighed heavily against an institution for internal security like most other countries in the world. In the aftermath of World War II, President Harry Truman rejected calls for an intelligence service responsible for both foreign and domestic intelligence. He feared the replication of an American version of the Soviet Union’s KGB that had both intelligence functions and the power to arrest Soviet citizens.

Instead, Truman divided those responsibilities to better protect American civil liberties. He gave the CIA the mission for intelligence collection and analysis from abroad. And Truman tasked the FBI with the counterintelligence mission to protect the United States from foreign intelligence operations inside American borders. That bureaucratic seam between the CIA and the FBI was exploited by al-Qaeda in the 9/11 attacks.

After 9/11, the United States created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). President George W. Bush charged the DHS, in part, with protecting Americans from terrorist attacks at home. The DHS formed an intelligence unit that is part of the IC. It takes a particularly close look at ensuring the safety of critical infrastructure inside the United States. As we will study this week, however, that even after more than a decade the DHS still has not honed its business practices for writing intelligence analysis nor has it successfully orchestrated efforts with those of the FBI. Although the FBI has redoubled its attention to counterterrorism, its efforts to improve the quality of its intelligence analysis too have faltered.”
