Final ProjectAnalysis of a Quality Improvement Program

This week the Final Project is designed to give you an opportunity to analyze a quality improvement program. You will analyze data related to benchmarks and national standards and suggest two goals for initiatives that address any deficiencies/opportunities in quality. Anticipated outcomes will also be identified, and appropriate time frames to re-evaluate data and provide a new analysis will be addressed.

To prepare:

Read the case study Patient Safety at Grand River Hospital & St. Marys General Hospital in your Learning Resources.

Conduct an analysis of the case and write a 10- to 12-page (excluding title page and references) report including:

• Data analysis against benchmarks and national standards
• Observations about where quality improvements are needed
• Goals for initiatives that address those deficiencies/opportunities in quality
• Outcomes that are anticipated in order to accomplish the initiatives
• Appropriate time frames to re-evaluate data and provide a new analysis. Justify your response
