Project part 1

Hypothesis: I hypothesize that healthcare organizations are able to deliver only 85% of planned healthcare practices through measurable units of analysis.

– To help make my idea more clear… there is a lot of public admin planning and policy creation that is attributed to being able to deliver repeated healthcare practices. Of those policies and practices, I would like to review how hospitals justify measuring that success.

For instance, how are hospitals accredited? Or how do they win awards? What is reviewed to make these decisions?

I have listed different measurements of analysis that could be reviewed. Please feel free to use them, others, or a mix of both.

Measurements of Analysis: - Survival rates - Mortality rates - Rates of Recovery - Readmission Rates - Process of recovery, including nature of care given. - Duration of hospital stay. - Long term consequences of treatment. Good and bad

This assignment doesn't come with a rubric, it is a free range research paper that will be developed in steps. Each new task will grow and be refined from the last one. :)
