Question Description

Can you help me understand this Health & Medical question?

  • INSTRUCTIONSYou now know:
    • What information or data you will be reviewing.
    • From where the information or data will come.
    • Which standards or goals you are trying to reach.
    You now need to determine how to make all of this happen. In this part of the process, you will put together your action plan. Who is going to do the work? What type of skills will they need? How long will it take them to do the work? This is your game plan. Each and every step needs to be clearly laid out and explained.Keep in mind that you are writing a proposal. You are telling your physician group what you would like to do, why you want to do it, and how you are going to do it. You are not buying new devices or starting a new process. You are reviewing documentation that is already present in the office, or potentially in hospital records, to identify whether your group’s physicians provided quality care.This assessment will complete your proposal for the health information review that you recommend. Throughout this assessment, explicitly state the reasons for each and all of your choices.Please carefully review this assessment’s scoring guide to better understand the performance levels relating to each criterion on which you will be evaluated.DEMONSTRATION OF PROFICIENCYBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

    Benchmarking Plan
    • Identify the sources of national data and quality measures.
    • Describe how you will use the national data and quality measures as benchmarks to compare with data from your facility.
    • Explain how you will ensure data standardization, along with any other factors you need to take into account, so the data from these sources is compatible with the data you plan to collect.
    • Explain how the collected data will be compared to the benchmarking and quality standards.
    Quality and Change Management Strategies
    • Explain how data outcomes could be used to perform quality improvement reviews and recommend evidence-based best practices for policies and procedures based on outcomes.
