What surprised you about the results of the survey found in this article?

/in /by

The term “information governance” is well understood in corporate organizations, and in the healthcare environment it is being used with greater frequency than in the past. This is due in large part to health informatics and the use of technology to transmit, store, share, and manipulate data from health records. Data is an organizational asset to be managed and valued.

Policies, controls, procedures and technologies all need to be in alignment in order for an organization to utilize the full value of this asset—information—which is now found everywhere within the organization. The challenges to growing a culture of information governance in healthcare organizations today are significant, but these challenges are still being tackled by corporate America, as you will read in the following article, located in the CSU Library:Information Governance’s Big Payback.

After reading the article, write a 2- to 3-page essay, providing your opinion on these questions:

  1. What surprised you about the results of the survey found in this article?
  2. Which parts of this survey would be applicable to the healthcare environment?
  3. What can healthcare CEOs learn from the information governance practices of large corporations?

Complete your 2- to 3-page response in Microsoft Word using Times New Roman or a similar font, 12 point, double-spaced. Your paper should be formatted according to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements, with any sources and references properly cited.

Issues Brief Template
When an issue or problem arises that has impacts outside of an individual unit or manager’s control, writing a briefing paper serves several purposes.  The process of writing a paper forces clarity to the issue and the impacts, allows for explanation of competing viewpoints, and provides a basis for raising the issue for decision or discussion.

Following is a general structure to use when raising issues.  While any particular format is necessarily limiting in its rigor, having a consistent presentation is beneficial when there are many issues to deal with.  Each segment of the general structure includes strategic questions to guide the writer through a thought process.  Not all questions will be applicable or appropriate for every situation and there may be additional questions to consider that are not listed below.

The most critical elements of the structure are clarity, conciseness, and the complete description of all sides of the issue.  Constructing an argument to move in any one direction is relatively simple if potential concerns or opposition are glossed over (or not even recognized).  If options are presented, they should provide a balanced (with all other options) description of the impacts.  In other words, a briefing paper should be used only partially to make a particular case; the broader purpose should be to inform a discussion of an issue and its impacts.

Structure

Issue Statement
•    What problem/issue needs to be resolved?
•    If the remainder of the paper is extensive, an Executive Summary should be included

Discussion/Background
•    Why does the issue exist/how did the issue originate?
•    What is the situation that causes it to surface or be elevated now?
•    What are the impacts of the issue?
•    Who is impacted by it?
•    What is the statewide significance?
•    What are the arguments in support of and in opposition to potential resolutions?
•    What work has been undertaken around the issue and what are the results?
•    What constraints exist that limit the range of alternatives to addressing the issue?
•    What are the risks or ramifications of not resolving the issue?
•    What references exist to inform this issue (i.e. Op Notice, policy, manual, etc.)

Options and/or Recommendations (typically, choose one)
•    What are the proposed options?
o    How do the options address the issue?
o    What are the opposing arguments (whether they’ve been made or could be made)
o    Financial implications?
o    Precedent implications?
o    Political implications?
•    What is the proposed approach to developing options or recommendation?
o    Should a sub-team be developed to explore options and/or develop a recommendation for resolution?
o    Should the issue be delegated or elevated to another leadership team?
o    Other method/approach to develop options or a recommendation?
•    What is the proposed recommendation or solution?
o    How does the proposed recommendation resolve the issue?
o    What are the benefits?
o    What are the risks?
o    What are the opposing arguments (whether they’ve been made or could be made)
o    Financial implications?
o    Precedent implications?
o    Political implications?

Implementation
•    How will the solution be implemented?
•    Who will implement?
•    What are the key steps or deliverables involved?
•    What are the timeframes for implementation?
•    What does “success” look like?
•    How will the recommendation be documented? (i.e. Op Notice, manual changes, policy changes, etc.)

Communication
•    Who needs to approve?
•    Who needs to know?
•    How will the recommendation be communicated?  Is a communication plan needed?

This Discussion forum provides an opportunity for informal collaboration. It is not required, and you will not receive a grade for your participation.

If you choose to participate, you may integrate useful feedback you receive to strengthen your plan prior to submitting it. Just as importantly, reviewing your colleagues’ proposals may help you to deepen your understanding of the plan components and application of scholarly writing.

(Optional) To prepare:

  • Review the information in the Practicum Project Plan (PPP) Overview document, introduced in Week 3. The overview describes the elements that must be included in your plan.
  • Reflect on the development of your Practicum Project Plan thus far. Address any questions you have and/or identify areas in need of further consideration or improvement.
  • Develop any outstanding components of your Practicum Project Plan. For instance, you may need to continue your review of the literature and create your project timeline. You may wish to review the timeline table you completed on the Professional Practicum Experience Plan and update it as necessary.
  • Review the information on scholarly writing in this week’s Learning Resources, and integrate these principles as you develop your Practicum Project Plan.
  • Create a draft of your Practicum Project Plan (a 4- to 6-page scholarly paper) to share with your colleagues in this optional Discussion forum.

Overview

Quality and risk management are major issues in the current healthcare environment. Safety, quality and consumer satisfaction and outcomes are key elements of the healthcare system too. More and more time for all healthcare organizations is being spent determining the best way to meet customer expectations. Understanding the major concepts associated with quality, risk, and consumer relations will assist in developing the staff nurse role. Each health care organization is concerned with safe, quality, efficient, and cost effective care. Anyone of these variables cannot be overlooked in order to focus on one or few. Few consumers will want cost effective care that is not safe or of highest quality.

 

As you will recall from earlier reading, organizations are about structure, process and outcome. Quality improvement is a means to assess and measure on an ongoing systematic say how an organizations is meeting desired outcomes. Key concepts to understand regarding safety and risk in hospitals is based on Norma Accident and High Reliability Theory. High Reliable Organizations (HRO) are those that operate under the premise that something can go wrong, consequently they are always on alert to prevent error by avoiding complacency. Drifting into failure is a term well known to “high risk” professions such as healthcare and aviation. Often times deviation from the standard is seen and experienced and allowed to go on until eventually something catastrophic happens. It is important to not allow the establishment of deviation from what should be. Other safety measures include those associated with Just Culture and include learning from mistakes, reporting mistakes and treating mistakes in a non-punitive fashion. See journal articles listed for this module.

 

Six Sigma is a vision of quality, which equates to about 3.4 defects per million opportunities for each product or service transaction. Six Sigma is a methodology that strives for perfection. Sigma is a statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many “defects” you have in a process, you can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to “zero defects” as possible. To achieve Six Sigma Quality, a process must produce no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. An “opportunity” is defined as a chance for nonconformance, or not meeting the required specifications.

 

Quality improvement process has steps similar to nursing process. It involves steps to plan, implement and evaluate. Benchmarks serve as a basis for comparison of “best practice.” These benchmarks have been developed through research and evidence. Healthcare organizations use report cards and score cards to report criteria related to quality and safety.

 

Consumer relationships are crucial to the viability of any organization. There is a common saying that if a customer is satisfied with the service received from a company, he may not tell anyone, however, if a customer receives negative service, he tells at least 20 people. Think of examples that you have had. This principle relates to health care as well. Unhappy patients have many other choices, especially in urban areas. Patient outcomes and patient satisfaction are two different things. Patients may have negative outcomes and still be satisfied with the organization and care. There are a number of variables that influence this and one is customer relations.

 

1. Discuss the process of root cause analysis.  Who is involved in this process?

2. Give an example of a nurse sensitive outcome, defined by the American Nurses Association, and how it is used in your clinical setting.

3. Describe principles of high reliable organizations that you see in the healthcare setting

4. Describe the four components of just culture and how you think Just culture contributes to patient safety.

5. Discuss your experience with the process of reporting sentinel events in an organization. What error reporting mechanism is in place?
