Analyze and Apply Dashboard Data

Analyze and Apply Dashboard Data

Create a presentation (maximum of 20 slides with detailed speaker notes) for senior leadership in which four organizational leaders analyze the impact of a health care organization’s new safety and quality dashboard. Include an analysis of what the new metrics mean and how they will inform departmental activities for the next quarter.

“Being in a position of leadership is the most important job of any health professional anywhere along the continuum of care” (Ledlow & Coppola, 2013, p. 3). Leaders and ultimately the boards of directors of health care organizations are accountable for the safety of those they serve.” National quality organizations and regulatory bodies … are growing in their emphasis on leadership accountabilities for safe, reliable care as well as excellence in the experience of care” (Youngberg, 2013, p. 39).

With this emphasis on leadership accountability for the delivery of safe, high-quality health care services, health care leaders need to be able to drill down on what exactly safety and quality mean in the health care environment. Likewise, they also need to be able to design measures that help to ensure their organizations are able to deliver those kinds of outcomes. Read Measurement Perspectives attached to question [PDF]to examine key elements related to this issue.

In this final course assessment, you will have a unique opportunity to examine a health care organization’s safety and quality dashboard from the perspective of four organizational leaders. You will explore each leader’s specific interests regarding patient safety and quality. In particular, you will have the opportunity to perform a more in-depth analysis of the dashboard, the type of analysis a quality director might perform to further the organization’s safety and quality objectives.

Instructions
Your organization has just updated its safety and quality dashboard. Please review the Vila Health Mercy Hospital Safety and Quality Dashboard Attached to this question [PDF]. Note: You do not need to create a dashboard for this assessment. You are simply being asked to work with the one provided.

The CEO has asked each of the organizational leaders below to prepare a joint PowerPoint presentation. In it, they are to prepare a set of slides outlining their analysis of how the new numbers will inform their particular activities for the next quarter. The organizational leaders include:

The quality director.
The patient safety officer.
The risk manager.
Senior leadership.
Because of the quality director’s critical role in implementing the organization’s safety and quality strategic objectives, this individual will open the presentation and provide additional background about how the new dashboard was developed. This individual will also close the presentation. Use the following outline to organize your presentation. Be sure to include the introduction and conclusion and address all the questions listed under these headings. Also be sure to address each role and the corresponding questions.

Introduction (3–4 slides)
What is a safety and quality dashboard?
What role do safety and quality dashboards play in helping health care organizations drive their strategic safety and quality objectives?
How do health care organization determine what they want to measure? Be sure to consider:
Pressures from regulators, payors, and the industry.
Self-identified improvement areas. For example, one organization’s safety and quality dashboard may highlight patient falls because its rate of falls is higher than the national average. This may also have resulted in increased costs to the organization.
What CQI tools did the organization use to obtain, measure, and report data?
What was the quality improvement team’s role in addressing the reported measures?
Quality Director (2–3 slides)
Which metric on the dashboard would draw the quality director’s attention the most?
What does this dashboard metric mean and why is it important?
What three recommendations to leadership would help to address this metric?
What (if any) quality models could be used to increase the quality of patient care and outcomes for this metric? Consider PDCA, Six Sigma, Lean, Hoshin Kanri planning, et cetera.
Patient Safety Officer (2–3 slides)
Which metric on the dashboard would draw the patient safety officer’s attention the most?
What does this dashboard metric mean and why is it important?
What role does the patient safety officer play in improving this metric?
Risk Manager (2–3 slides)
Which metric on the dashboard would draw the risk manager’s attention the most?
What does this dashboard metric mean and why is it important?
What role does the risk manager play in improving this metric?
Senior Leader (1 slide)
What is the role of senior leadership (for example, CEO, COO, president, senior VP) in driving safety and quality improvement initiatives?
What next steps might senior leadership take given the dashboard findings and the quality director’s three improvement recommendations?
Conclusion (2–3 slides)
Which regulatory agency(ies) may be concerned about the findings in this dashboard?
Why would regulators be concerned about these findings?
Why are safety and quality dashboards important for monitoring key metrics in health care organizations?
Your slides need to be concise and offer main ideas in bulleted format. Use the speaker notes to expand upon your findings as if they were the transcript of your presentation for the leadership team.

In the health care environment, it is unlikely for a presentation and speaker notes to be in APA style. Do make sure they are concise, organized, clear, and free of errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Do make sure they address all the required headings and all of the questions under each heading.

Your senior leaders will want to know the sources of your information. Be sure to cite your sources in APA style in your speaker notes.

Additional Requirements
Presentation length: Your presentation should be a maximum of 20 slides, including title and reference slides. Format your title and reference slides according to APA format.
Speaker notes: Be sure to include these with your slides. They provide an opportunity for you to expand on the information you are highlighting in your slides.

  • Recommend at least two strategies, supported in the literature, that can be implemented to address any shortcomings revealed in your Work Environment Assessment.

Incivility at the workplace is common in nursing education and clinical practice (Clark, Olender, Cardoni, & Kenski, 2011). Workplace incivility can be defined as repeated offensive, disrespectful, or discouraging behavior, misuse of power, or unfair punishments that make the receiver distressed and feel shamed; creating strain; and decreasing the employee’s self-confidence (Warner, Sommers, Zappa, & Thornlow, 2016). Uncivil behaviors can appear in different forms and may cause profound effects on their recipients.

The work environment assessment of my workplace resulted in a score 35. According to Clark (2015), a score below 50 in the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory indicates a very unhealthy work environment. It is surprising that two statements where the organization scored the highest were those that stated individuals and collective achievements are celebrated and publicized ; and that use of effective conflicts resolution skills, (Clark, 2015). The publicity and celebration of individual and collective achievements is a new thing that has just been initiated and we are going strong with it. The staffs are vastly knowledgeable on conflicts resolutions. The organization is neutral on communication, living by shared vision and employee are treated in fair and respectful manner.  Somewhat untrue about communication.  The organization scored low in all other aspect of the assessment.

Going by this score form Workplace assessment, I will say the organization is a very unhealthy place. We discuss this almost every day with other staff in my department.  Unhealthy place is not safe for both staff and even patients Communication is very poor. Nobody has the idea of when decisions are made which means staffs are excluded from decision making. The staff feels that Patient’s acuity is not put into consideration before staffing is made which made the workload voluminous and makes the environment unsafe. Staff from other departments with no basic knowledge of crisis prevention intervention are been thrown to the psychiatry units.  The staff doesn’t feel supported by the management. The organization is not able to retain staff because the salary is not competitive enough and are not true to their words in terms of benefits, so there is very high turnover of staff. Only few staff has stayed for more than 2 years. Most new staff leaves between 2 weeks and 6 months.

One occasion of incivility that I have experienced was when the supervisor spoke to me in a disrespectful manner because one unidentified person called from ER and asked if we had an extra mental health worker and I responded no. She said I was being unfair and there is a reason while they called for a help. I requested to speak to her in the staff room with one other staff that was with me when the call came in .  She apologized after I had expressed myself because we were never staff with an extra staff.  I couldn’t have sent any staff to ER because I have an agency staff working with me who does know these patients. I could have created an unsafe place for patient and the staffs  when we were already short staff and an agency staff?.

To create a high-performance team, implementation of strategies to improve work environment safety is necessary . To create an even stronger work team, it is vital that establishing excellent communication between employees be present in the organization. Respect and professional communication in a healthcare organization produces improved outcomes for patients and more civil employees (Griffin & Clark, 2014).
