Mini-Case Study Scenario:

You are the Data and Quality Improvement Coordinator for a regional health system implementing machine learning (ML) to improve patient care and reduce preventable adverse events in the ICU. Leadership is interested in exploring how ML tools, like ICU Intervene or EHR Model Transfer, could be integrated into your ICU operations to improve predictive care and workflow efficiency.

Critical Thinking and Solution Identification:

1. Using 5-Why root cause analysis, identify at least two root causes of preventable adverse events in the ICU that could be addressed using machine learning tools. Explain why these errors or gaps occur.
2. Describe two specific programmatic or operational changes your ICU could implement using machine learning to improve predictive care and patient safety.
3. Explain how data/information technology, including machine learning tools, could be used to monitor and report progress on your plan.
4. Discuss how your plan would help your facility meet applicable accreditation or licensing standards related to patient safety, data use, and quality improvement.
5. Cite at least one relevant point from the assigned article to justify your proposed approach. Cite the point in APA format within the text of your presentation and as part of a reference page/slide at the end of the presentation.
6. Find a supporting reference to your suggested operational change. The article must be peer-reviewed and from a source ranked on the JANE journal guide (https://jane.biosemantics.org/faq.php). Cite your supporting point in APA format.

Competencies

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:

• Conduct research for specific writing situations
• Integrate qualified evidence from research into ones own writing
• Articulate an evidence-based position in a written communication

Overview

Persuasive essays are a staple of writing. A persuasive essay has multiple goals. One is to demonstrate certain skills like research, proper citation, and critical thinking. These skills benefit us any time we need to take a position on a topic. This could be to present information for a suggested change at work or to help change someones mind about a global issue affecting our society. The skills that you will develop in writing your persuasive essay with research are transferable to all aspects of life and career.

When writing a persuasive essay, a writer must consider multiple communication elements and persuasive writing techniques such as strategically using introductions and conclusions, refuting an opposing viewpoint, among others. These elements of writing matter in everything we write, not just in essays. Persuasive essays organize your ideas by stating a thesis, followed by key points backed up by citations from credible sources, and examine diverse perspectives. All the skills that you will develop while working on your persuasive essay with research will help you when trying to persuade someone to consider your perspective.

Directions

There are two parts to this assignment: creating a collection of sources and writing a persuasive essay supported by research.

1. For Part One, you will list the sources you will use in your persuasive essay. You will also include a description of each source and other information about your research process. Please note that the information in Part One must be included in your submission and is in addition to the traditional References (APA) section that will appear at the end of your paper.
2. For Part Two, you will write an essay that states your position on a topic, integrates evidence from the sources you listed in Part One to support your key points, and uses different writing techniques to engage and persuade your audience. You will use at least one source from the Project Resources and two sources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library to support your project. Your final draft of Part Two should include a minimum of three sources.

Part One: Collection of Sources

In Module Three, you will collect sources to create an annotated bibliography.

Much of what happens in healthcare is about understanding the expectations of the many departments and personnel within the organization. Reimbursement drives the financial operations of healthcare organizations; each department affects the reimbursement process regarding timelines and the amount of money put into and taken out of the system. However, if departments do not follow the guidelines put into place or do not capture the necessary information, it can be detrimental to the reimbursement system. An important role for patient financial services (PFS) personnel is to monitor the reimbursement process, analyze the reimbursement process, and suggest changes to help maximize the reimbursement. One way to make this process more efficient is by ensuring that the various departments and personnel are exposed to the necessary knowledge. In Milestone Two, you will begin thinking about reimbursement in terms of billing and marketing. Reimbursement is a complex process with several stakeholders; this milestone allows you to begin thinking about the key players, including third-party billing, data collection, staff management, and ensuring compliance. Marketing and communication also plays a vital role in reimbursement; this milestone offers a chance to begin analyzing effective strategies and their impact. Prompt Using the provided template in the Guidelines for Submission, submit your draft of Sections III and IV of the final project. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Billing and Reimbursement Analyze how third-party policies would be used when developing billing guidelines for patient financial services (PFS) personnel and administration when determining the payer mix for maximum reimbursement. How do third-party policies impact the payer mix for maximum reimbursement? Organize the key areas of review in order of importance for timeliness and maximization of reimbursement from third-party payers. Explain your rationale on the order. Describe a way to structure your follow-up staff in terms of effectiveness. How can you ensure that this structure will be effective? Develop a plan for periodic review of procedures to ensure compliance. Include explicit steps for this plan and the feasibility of enacting this plan within this organization. Marketing and Reimbursement Explain how new managed care contracts impact reimbursement for the healthcare organization. Support your explanation with concrete evidence or research. Discuss the resources needed to ensure billing and coding compliance with regulations. Evaluate strategies to ensure stakeholders involved in the reimbursement process adhere to ethical standards
