This assignment builds on the Risk Management Program Analysis Part One assignment you completed in Topic 1 of this course.

Assume that the example risk management program you analyzed in Topic 1 was developed by and is now currently implemented by your health care employer/organization. Further assume that your supervisor has asked you to present a high-level summary brief of this new risk management program to a group of administrative personnel from a newly created community health organization in your state who has enlisted your organization’s assistance in developing their own risk management policies and procedures.

Compose a 1,250-1,500 word summary brief that expands upon the elements you addressed in the Risk Management Program Analysis Part One assignment. In addition, analyze the following:

1. Explain the Joint Commission’s role in the evaluation of an organization’s quality management processes.
2. Describe the roles that different levels of administrative personnel play in establishing or sustaining operational policies that are focused on employer-employee organizational risk management policies.
3. Explain the relationship of risk management programs and compliance with ethical standards.

In addition to your textbook, you are required to support your analysis with a minimum of three peer-reviewed references.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Part one assignment is

For this assignment, you will research risk management programs for health care facilities or organizations. Review the criteria below in order to select an exemplar that applies to your current or anticipated professional arena. (Note: Select an example plan with sufficient data to be able to complete the assignment successfully.)

In a 1,000-1,250 word paper, provide an analysis that includes the following:

Brief summary description of the type of risk management plan you selected (new employee, specific audience, community-focused, etc.) and your rationale for selecting that example.

Description of the recommended administrative steps and processes in a typical health care organization risk management program contrasted with the administrative steps and processes you can identify in your selected example plan. (Note: Select an example plan with sufficient data to be able to complete the assignment successfully.)

Analyze the key agencies and organizations that regulate the administration of safe health care and the roles each play in the risk management oversight process.

Evaluation of the selected exemplar risk management plan regarding compliance with the American Society of Healthcare Risk Management (ASHRM) standards relevant to privacy, health care worker safety, and patient safety.

Proposed recommendations or changes you would make to your selected risk management program example to enhance, improve, or to secure compliance standards.

In addition to your textbook, you are required to support your analysis with a minimum of three peer-reviewed references.

QUESTION 2: How can a crisis situation make collaboration and trust stronger in a group

How can a crisis situation make collaboration and trust stronger in a group?

Why does this happen?

How can staff development improve rapport among colleagues and build trust across departments?

A minimum of THREE academic references from credible sources are required for this assignment

Review the article below and reflect on the professional practice use of theories/concepts as described by the article.

http://www-tandfonline-com.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/

Conduct an analysis of the elements of the research article you identified. Be sure to include the following:

Clearly identify the topic of interest you have selected.
1. Provide an accurate and complete APA formatted citation of the article you selected, along with link or search details.
2. Clearly identify and describe in detail a professional practice use of the theories/concepts presented in the article.
3. Provide a clear and accurate analysis of the article using the Research Analysis Matrix section of the template.
Write a 1-paragraph justification that clearly and accurately explains in detail whether you would recommend the use of this article to inform professional practice. Note: You can use the CARP method as presented in the Resources for this week on evaluating resources.
Write a 2- to 3-paragraph summary that includes the following:
1. Clearly and accurately describe in detail your approach to identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research.
2. Clearly identify and accurately describe in detail at least two strategies that you would use that you found to be effective in finding peer-reviewed research.
3. Provide a complete, detailed, and specific synthesis of at least one resource you intend to use in the future to find peer-reviewed research.
4. Integrate at least one outside resource and 2-3 course specific resources to fully support your summary.

Instructions:

This is a group assignment. During Week 1, you will self-select and self-enroll to groups (3 persons/group). If enrollment numbers/changes require a different number, please coordinate with faculty. Faculty will assign your group a case study and data; this is what you will work with the remainder of the course to create your final QI report. Please find your case study and data, along with other project resources in “QI Project Resources: (button found on L-hand side of course site). The case study will prompt you to consider best practices regarding a particular clinical problem (e.g., preventing/reducing falls). Please note how Discussion board topics Weeks 2-4 prompt you to individually complete several portions of this project. Use the individual work done in these discussions and the opportunity to see others’ work and receive feedback to refine your group’s work on the final QI report.

You and your group mates are responsible for 1) initiating contact with each other, 2) exchanging contact information, 3) creating a timeline for assignment completion, 4) determining collaborative tools you’d like to use to complete the assignment (e.g., Google Docs), 5) identifying and assigning group roles and distributing work load evenly, and 6) maintaining effective communication with each other (e.g., conflict prevention and resolution, timely and frequent communication, etc.). Collaborative resources are available to assist you, under “Course Support” (L-hand side of course site).

Using your assigned project (i.e., case study/data), components of the final written report must include:

Background of the problem

• Depth and breadth of the problem (e.g., national statistics and local data to demonstrate a problem exists)
• Definition of the problem with references
• PICO question

Evidence

• What evidence did you find? Synthesize the evidence
• Appraisal of the evidence using the JBI appraisal tools (include as appendix)
• Levels of evidence

Analysis of Current Condition

• Narrative and table, graph, flow chart of current condition (data from assigned problem)
• Include missed opportunities (examination of current process versus what the evidence says should be done using a flowchart); these are your indicators.

Cause Analysis

• Root Cause Analysis and Fishbone Diagram. Identify where the problems exist that you will address.

Action Plan for Each Indicator

• What the evidence says should be done. The changes that should occur in order to improve practice, to include:
  • Indicator (look at your indicator sheet): Provide the evidence to support in one sentence.
  • Measurement: Numerator and denominator. How will you measure that the change is being done?
  • Goal: What is your goal data? Benchmarks?
• Implementation:  Include Best Practices for implementing your change and evidence to support your implementation strategy
• Create a table with the following information for each indicator:
  • Who (is responsible)?–>Describe who is responsible
  • What (are they responsible for?)–>Explain what they are responsible for completing (each indicator described above)
  • Why (did you select this person?)–>Rationale for why this person should be responsible for this action
  • When (will they perform the action?)–>What is the timeline for completing the task?
  • How (will they complete the action?)–>Explain how the person should complete the action (think of implementation described above)
  • Completion Date–>Date for completing the action
