Writing Assignment #1 for Health Science Students: Defining the Quality of Health Care

Word Count: 2,500 words

Format: APA (Title page and References required)

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of quality health care within the healthcare system and to analyze the factors that influence the quality of care delivered across diverse healthcare settings. Quality and patient safety are shared responsibilities among all healthcare professionals, regardless of discipline. Healthcare organizations are required to continuously monitor, evaluate, and improve care delivery to achieve optimal patient outcomes and ensure safety.

Most healthcare organizations utilize quality improvement (QI) processes or teams to assess performance, reduce errors, and promote evidence-based practice. Numerous internal and external factors affect the quality of patient care, includingbut not limited togovernment regulations, healthcare policy, reimbursement models, patient demographics and socioeconomic factors, organizational culture, resource availability, and leadership effectiveness. Health science professionals play a critical role in supporting quality initiatives through collaboration, ethical practice, and effective use of resources.

This assignment encourages students to critically evaluate how quality of care is defined, measured, and influenced, and to explore the role of healthcare professionals and leaders in advancing quality and safety across the healthcare continuum.

What influenced your decision to seek services with your provider?

• How was your experience?
• What did you appreciate about it?
• What did you dislike about it?

Instructions

For your final project assignment, you will incorporate your work and the feedback you received from the two previous assignments to prepare a PowerPoint presentation outlining the actions you believe Gottlieb or your organization’s leader must take in order to lead the way through to next level of sustainability in a highly competitive healthcare marketplace. Refer to the Week 9 assignment description and rubric for detailed instructions as to how to complete this assignment.

Your final case study assignment is due at the end of this week. In order to complete this presentation, you must:

• Describe benchmarking practices that were used in the case study or your chosen organization, and conduct benchmarking research to identify best practices to improve both the clinical and nonclinical practices of the organization.
• Analyze the customer service and satisfaction drivers present in this case study and apply the successful organizational change process.
• Consider the organizational culture, mission, vision, and values and how they affected the overall changes to the organization.
• Determine how the organization considered organizational governance and structure to assure success, timeliness, effectiveness, and efficiency of services.
• Describe measures used to make this assessment and provide your rationale for selecting these measures.

Once you have completed the steps outlined above, use the material you have gathered, along with the feedback you received from your previous case study assignments in Weeks 5 and 7 to prepare a PowerPoint presentation outlining the actions you believe were taken, or were lacking, to demonstrate successful change efforts in the case study provided or in your chosen organization. Be sure to support all of your conclusions with academic references.

Your final presentation should be recorded in Kaltura and be no longer than 15 minutes.

A 72-year-old widow has been living with Type 2 diabetes for 9 years. She is independently mobile and lives alone, although her family live nearby. She has been on her current medication metformin 1gm twice daily from diagnosis, and has been on gliclazide 160mg twice daily for seven years. She has not tried any other hypoglycaemic medication.

You receive a letter informing you that she attended the emergency room 5 days ago, having been found by her neighbour unconscious. In the emergency room she was found to have a capillary blood glucose reading of 2.3 mmol/L (41.4 mg/dl), was treated for hypoglycaemia and then sent home on her existing medication.

Her records show she had a diabetes review six weeks ago when her BP was 138/78 mmHg BMI 26.7 kg/m2; HbA1c 55 mmol/mol (7.2%); eGFR 68 mL/min/1.73 m2 and ACR 2.1 mg/mmol (18.5 mg/g) all of which have been stable for the past 3 years. Her hypertension is well controlled on ramipril 10mg and amlodipine 5mg ,and she takes atorvastatin 20 mg once daily.

Part A (50%)

1. What are the important actions you should take now in relation to her glucose lowering therapy?

Part B (50%)

2. Outline the pros and cons of the glucose-lowering medications she is currently on, what HbA1c target would you discuss with her?

Discussion should be based on the new guidelines and updated recommendations, like ADA and NICE
