The final project deliverable for this course is a Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) presentation, with speaker notes, based on the work done in previous milestones. The final project is the presentation of a quality improvement initiative proposal stemming from a healthcare quality issue identified in a healthcare organization of your choice. The proposal provides strategies for quality improvement using evidence-based resources. The final project combines the content from the milestones and covers topics including leadership styles, organizational structure, reimbursement implications, interprofessional collaboration, and change theory. The presentation also includes a concise plan for implementation and evaluation of the proposed initiative. This deliverable provides an opportunity to demonstrate sophisticated and critical analysis skills by synthesizing the information from a healthcare organization and evidence-based resources to create a well-articulated presentation to leadership to improve the quality of care. These skills and abilities are essential for nursing professionals who hope to drive positive, sound organizational change within the healthcare industry. For this project, you can use your current healthcare organization, a previous healthcare employer, or a healthcare organization that you want to work for in the future. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: Evaluate tracer methodology as an effective and sustainable means of measuring quality delivery of care Assess theories of change for their applicability and use in promoting performance improvement initiatives in healthcare organizations Analyze organizational processes that impact communication and flow of survey-required quality data throughout the healthcare institution Recommend interprofessional strategies that improve nursing-sensitive quality indicators Articulate the role of leadership in the planning, analysis, and implementation of performance improvement initiatives within the organization Analyze the relationship between quality outcomes and value-based reimbursement in healthcare for improvement opportunities Prompt Present a proposal for addressing a healthcare quality issue that provides an opportunity for a quality improvement initiative. Use evidence-based sources to support the development and implementation of the initiative. Consider organizational characteristics and leadership roles. Incorporate the feedback from the milestones to create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation for the proposed initiative. Include speaker notes as part of the presentation. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Introduction and Proposed Initiative Analyze a healthcare organization to determine the key characteristics (including organizational values, if applicable) impacting its quality of care, with a focus on the relationship between quality outcomes and healthcare reimbursement. Articulate a quality outcome problem involving patient care and impacted by financial considerations that provides a quality improvement opportunity. Articulate a proposed initiative, including recommendations of interprofessional strategies to improve the patient care problem. Articulate a SMART goal that the leadership role can support in the planning, analysis, and implementation of the quality improvement initiative. Assess a quality improvement model for its applicability and use to promote change with the quality improvement initiative. Support Analyze the current leadership style and its role in the planning, analysis, and implementation of quality improvement initiatives within the organization. Detail existing interprofessional strategies within the organization that may influence or impact new and existing quality improvement initiatives. Appraise evidence-based resources for their support of the quality improvement initiative as a method of advancing quality patient care outcomes and healthcare reimbursement. Analyze the effect the quality improvement initiative will have on the relationship between the healthcare problem and healthcare reimbursement. Assess a change theory or model for its applicability to the quality improvement initiative. Planning Assess the unique contributions of key personnel to facilitate interprofessional collaboration strategies that can improve the success of the quality improvement initiative. Assess the organization, using tracer methodology, for the substantive data that supports the need for the quality improvement initiative. This data should consist of tracer data, performance improvement data, benchmarks, and any other data points relevant to your organization and quality improvement initiative. Use tracer methodology to determine the data collection requirements that will provide sustainable measurements for the quality improvement initiative. Analyze the organizational processes for barriers to both the flow of survey-required quality data and the communication of the data collected for the initiative. Implementation and Evaluation Analyze the current organizational processes that facilitate the communication flow used to implement a change initiative. Determine the organizational processes and tools required to effectively communicate the implementation components for the initiative. Utilizing tracer methodology, produce an evaluation plan that measures the effectiveness of the quality improvement initiative. Include necessary detail to deliver key points and requirements, such as specific data collection methods, timeframes for evaluation, and intended re-evaluation. Review the applicability of the quality improvement model and its use in promoting change through a quality improvement initiative. In other words, evaluate the effectiveness and the ease of use, timeliness, and efficiency of your chosen model for the progress and success of your initiative. Provide a comprehensive review of the quality improvement initiative with a final analysis of the role of leadership in planning, implementing, and evaluating quality improvement initiatives within the organization.
