Write an essay addressing the following prompts:

  1. Electronic health records (EHRs) are easier to read than the paper charts of the past, but many complain that healthcare providers are focusing too much on the computer screen instead of the patient.
  • Is this due to a lack of skill or training, poor computer system design, or just the nature of computer charting?
  • Is patient care suffering from the implementation of EHRs?
  • Charting in an EHR consist of clicking boxes, do you feel this provides enough detail about the patient, condition, and events if there was a lawsuit?
  1. Hebda, Hunter, and Czar (2019) identify three types of data that are currently being tracked by organizations (p. 46).
  • Identify and explain another type of data, specific to your practice, that is being tracked by an organization.
  • Why do you feel this data is important to track?
  • Identify and discuss the organization that is tracking the data.
  • Are there any ethical concerns with an outside organization tracking this data, explain, and give examples?

HA4050D – Healthcare Law
Discussion 01.3: Creating a Duty of Care
Read the Discussion 01.3 Scenario. Refer to the scenario as you answer the questions below.
1.Remember that, to state a negligence claim, we must have all four elements of the tort of negligence: 1. Duty, 2. Breach of duty, 3. Causation, AND 4. Damages. In this case, was there a sufficient doctor-patient relationship to create a duty of care on the part of the orthopedist? After all, the patient was never actually seen or treated by your physician. What advice would you give your supervisor?
2.Your boss asks for your thoughts on how we can prevent a situation like this from ever happening again. What else could the orthopedist have done to protect himself from any legal liability to a patient whom he had never actually seen or treated? What procedures might the hospital put in place to protect itself from future liability?
DISCUSSION 01.3: CREATING A DUTY OF CARE
SCENARIO (BASED ON A REAL ILLINOIS CASE)
You are a hospital administrator. Your supervisor comes to talk with you about the potential liability of
one of your physicians.
While on vacation in another state, a patient presented to a local emergency room and was examined
by a plastic surgeon. A review of an X-ray taken of the patient’s knee revealed a possible malignant
neoplasm. Consequently, the plastic surgeon referred the patient to an orthopedist at your facility, Dr.
Johnson, for further review when the patient returned home. The examining physician did not advise
the patient as to the purpose or nature of the referral.
After the patient did not keep any of the three appointments he scheduled with Dr. Johnson at your
facility, Dr. Johnson refused to reschedule him any further. The patient never sought treatment
elsewhere. Ultimately, the patient died of cancer due to this condition and his estate has sued both the
out-of-state physician and your facility. Obviously, there was no intent to harm this patient, but the
lawsuit is claiming that negligence was committed. Your boss has come to discuss with you whether
your facility actually committed all the elements of negligence.
(Note: If you would like to see the real case this scenario is based upon, check out Davis v. Weiskopf,
439 N.E.2d 60 (Ill.App. 1982). Be warned—the scenario has altered the facts from the original case. Do
not rely upon the real case opinion in formulating your answer to the fictional scenario in the discussion
question.)

You lean toward a democratic or participative style of leadership. You tend to set the parameters for the work and have the final say on decisions, but you actively involve your team members in the process.
This style can build trust between you and your people, as they’ll likely feel engaged and valued. But it’s not great in a high-pressure situation that requires a fast turnaround, as it will slow you down. And, if you dislike disagreement or conflict, you might struggle with how people respond to consultation. Read more below.

A QI project. Graphs and picture included, 2 pages, single space.
Page 1 discusses Data Collection and Analysis
Page 2 discusses Identify Opportunities for Improvement
* it is essentially a 10 page project but it is a group project and my topics are what is mentioned above*
I have attached a summary of what the project consists of
DOES NOT MATTER THE FORMAT AS I WILL HAVE TO ADD MY PART TO THE WHOLE QI PAPER AS A WHOLE

 
 
Performance Improvement Project
(15 minute presentation)
Performance Improvement Indicators
Safety—avoid injury to patients from the care that is intended to help them
Timeliness—reduce waits and harmful delays
Effectiveness—provide services based on scientific knowledge to all who could benefit and refrain from providing services to those not likely to benefit (avoiding overuse and underuse, respectively)
Efficiency—avoid waste
Equitability—provide care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographical location, and socioeconomic status
Patient centeredness—provide care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values

  1. Increase in Turn Around Time for the interpretation of Echocardiograms
  2. Increase in patient stolen property in the ER
  3. Increase in the patient’s blood type mismatch in the Laboratory
  4. Increase in nosocomial infections in the Critical Care Units
  5. Decrease in revenue in outpatient imaging centers

Define Goals and Objectives
Once the QI plan is set and the priorities have been identified, the performance measures must be determined in order to put the plan into motion. Performance measures are designed to serve as yardsticks on which to measure quality. In order to measure a particular element of care, process, or outcome, indicators are selected to assess performance within a particular area of focus. Indicators are quantitative measures that can be used to assess and improve performance. While not a direct measure of quality, indicators are tools that can be used to direct attention to potential performance issues that may require more intense review.
Clinical Goals
Clinical goals are generally set based on clinical performance measures and are derived from evidence-based clinical guidelines. Measurement allows an evaluation of an important outcome of care for a designated population of patients, and it is a proxy to understand the effectiveness of the underlying systems of care. Just as there are evidence-based care guidelines for many conditions, there also are established measures that indicate how effectively guidelines are translated to practice. National organizations carefully considered these measures, and it is advisable to adopt an established measure.
Data Collection and Analysis
Planning Within an organization’s QI Plan, managing data is an essential part of performance improvement. It involves collecting, tracking, analyzing, interpreting, and acting on an organization’s data. Measuring a health system’s inputs, processes, and outcomes is a proactive, systematic approach to practice-level decisions for patient care and the delivery systems that support it. Data management also includes ongoing measurement and monitoring. It enables an organization to identify and implement opportunities for improvement
Frequency
Generally an evaluation of the progress an organization makes toward the goals identified in the QI plan will occur annually. Senior leadership and stakeholders will evaluate if the objectives for the QI plan have been met or if further refinement is required. However, in QI, collecting data on an annual basis does not support quality improvement methodology. A more frequent plan for data collection and analysis is strongly encourage. In short, if an organization plans to collect and analyze data quarterly, they can quickly identify if a particular performance measure has slipped in progress toward goals. They are then well suited to apply improvement methodologies as outlined in the module Testing for Improvement, and continue to make progress toward their identified goal. Although the frequency of data collection is not prescriptive, the frequency of data collect should be outlined clearly in the QI Plan. This should also include a plan if an organization finds that an identified performance measure is not meeting the progress they expected. This plan does not need be extensive but could simply refer the measure for attention by the QI Team who initially focused on improving the measure.
Identify Opportunities for Improvement
The next phase of data collection and analysis or data management t involves two distinct albeit related processes: 1. Analyzing data is the review of performance data to determine if it meets the desired quality level; it is used to define a performance plan. 2. Interpreting data is the process of assigning meaning or determining the significance, implications, and conclusions of data collected; it is used to evaluate and improve activities, identify gaps, and plan for improvement. Analysis and interpretation of data are used in concert when an organization reviews its performance. When the organization has a process in place to collect and display performance data, it ensures sufficient time is reserved to review the data and learn from it. A organization begins this phase by reviewing the current performance and comparing it to the previous performance of the organization. . This analysis gives a general sense of progress toward the performance goal as identified in the QI Plan. The interpretation process provides knowledge of the changes applied to the systems, special events with a potential impact, and lessons learned from the time period data was collected. It also helps to form the next steps to apply interventions for improvement. An organization may evaluate its performance against available benchmark data, which is beneficial when compared to the performance goal developed in the QI Plan. Additional information on benchmarking including resources to available organizations to gain benchmark data can be found in the module Managing Data for Performance Improvement.
 
Process to Apply Interventions for Improvement
The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is integral to rapid-cycle change methodology with emphasis on the “S” or study part of the cycle. Once data is collected, study is the analysis and interpretation phase, and when it is completed, an organization can proceed to “A” or acting on the data. A organization’s analysis and interpretation of the data drives its subsequent actions on performance. Once an organization has completed the analysis of the data they may determine a specific measure requires attention. Once the measure is identified, senior leadership may refer the measure back to the QI Team who initially focused on the improvement of a measure so they may apply improvement strategies with the goal of improvement. Additional information on improvement strategies can be found in the module Testing for Improvement. Additional information on QI teams can be found in the module Improvement Teams.
Implementing a QI Plan
Successful implementation of QI in an organization requires a process for identifying organizational problems and solving them, a process for providing ongoing education and training for all staff of the organization in principles, tools, and techniques of continuous improvement. Furthermore, all staff within the organization should understand clearly the mission and vision of the organization and be committed to quality improvement as part of their daily routine activities. Highlighted below are a few organizational processes to assist in the successful implementation of a QI Plan
Annual Evaluation and Work Plan Development
The QI Evaluation is often an annual evaluation of the prior year’s quality improvement activities, which includes recommendations for the next year. This process generally includes updating the QI plan and gaining approval annually
