Risk Management Implementation and the Regulatory Environment

Week 1 essay and Week 3 essay coincide as they will be the same topic.

Week 2 and week 5 coincide as they are the same topic.

Week 2- Use an alpha numeric outline. Be detailed. Use bullet points with full sentences. Do not create an outline that is paragraph form as you will not get the same amount of detail you need for your ppt. Week 2 coincides with week 5 ppt. The outline should be detailed as it is the framework for your detailed ppt. More time spent on this will make your week 5 MUCH easier. Trust me.

Week 4- For your interviews- select health care employees that works in risk management. RM is the key part. So not just a nurse but someone who has knowledge. So I would suggest you both call and email several people this week to get this set up. Do no rely on one person and wait until the last minute. Unfortunately, people cancel out etc. Learn how to document an APA interivew. If I can't tell what is your interview, many points will be lost. I also want to read what you learned from the interview in a reflection after.

How do I: Citing a hospital policy

 

You will need this information for most of your work:

 

Need to cite a hospital policy or some other document internal to a hospital or medical organization? Here are a few tips on how to do it.

Is it posted on the organization's web site?

· Author. (date). Title. Retrieved from URL.

· Name of organization. (date.). Title. Retrieved from URL.

Is it an unpublished internal document?

· Author. (date). Title. Unpublished internal document, Name of organization.

· Name of organization. (date). Title. Unpublished internal document.

Notes:

· If there is no author or authors listed that's when you use the second option with the Name of the organization before the date.

· No date? No problem - just put n.d. (that stands for no date) in the place for the date.

For week 4:

Very important:

You will also want to view how to cite an interview in APA format.

 

Some important things:

 

Topic Approval:

Submit your group's proposed topic as early as possible after your group members have been selected, but no later than Day 7 of week 1 for full assignment credit. (Note: Work submitted on an unapproved topic will receive zero credit.)

Did one person for the group do this? Did you get approval? If not, don’t start on it until you do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What kind of outline should we make for week 2?

 

Alphanumeric Outlines

This is the most common type of outline and usually instantly recognizable to most people. The formatting follows these characters, in this order:

· Roman Numerals

· Capitalized Letters

· Arabic Numerals

· Lowercase Letters

Cite in the body of the work. Each part needs this. Label your thesis.

Thesis:

In this class, you will create an

Argumentative Thesis Statement for all work. This is not the same as the purpose. (Why is this topic important?)

So create your purpose statement and then add the

Argumentative Thesis Statement.

TOPIC:

 

You are to choose one of the categories of risk. Ex- Falls. After choosing this as a group, you are to use three of the eight minimal components of a risk management program as defined by the ASHRM. (these eight elements can be found on pages 9 and 10 in the textbook). You then have to write about the three elements and apply them to the category of risk of our choice. (ie- Fire safety). I hope this is a little more understandable! :)}

 

Are we talking about only one Risk topic then use three of the eight components of that RM Program by the ASHRM?

 

Yes, that's correct. Your topic is specific. falls, TBinfections, HIPPA, fire, etc.

 

And then apply it to the 8. I hope that helps.

 

 

Description

Hi class, please see the bolded and underlined portions below as this is the most FAQ I get this week.

 

Assume that the sample risk management program you analyzed in Topic 1 was implemented and is now currently in use by your health care employer/organization. Further assume that your supervisor has asked you to create a high‐level summary brief  (This is  just an APA formatted essay for our purposes) of this new risk management program to share with a group of administrative personnel from a newly created community health organization in your state who has enlisted your organization's assistance in developing their own risk management policies and procedures.

Compose a 1,250‐1,500 word summary brief that expands upon the elements you first addressed in the Topic 1 assignment. (You will expand on, meaning you will add to, you will not repeat information)

 

Use headers as bolded below for each section:

In this summary brief, address the following points regarding your health care organization and its risk management program:

1. Explain the role of your organization's MIPPA-approved accreditation body (e.g., JC, ACR, IAC) in the evaluation of your institution's quality improvement and risk management processes.

2. Describe the roles that different levels of administrative personnel play in healthcare ethics and establishing or sustaining employer/employee-focused organizational risk management strategies and operational policies.

3. Illustrate how your organization's risk management and compliance programs support ethical standards, patient consent, and patient rights and responsibilities.

4. Explain the legal and ethical responsibilities health care professionals face in upholding risk management policies and administering safe health care at your organization.

5. Relate how your organization's quality improvement processes support and contribute to its overall journey to excellence.

 

THESIS Creation:

 

One trick is to go back to the purpose of the paper as you did- The purpose of this assignment is to analyze how an organization's quality and improvement processes contribute to its risk management program.

and then explain why it's important. So

An organization's quality and improvement processes is vital to its risk management program.

 

This is a simple version and it can be more elaborate and even specific. But at least you have some position you are taking. I hope that helps.

A note about discussion research:

 

The discussions in this course are factually based so GCU wants you to look for peer sources in the library. The text does not count toward this minimum.

What is a peer source? Get help - Use your library! This is a very much a research class so don't lose out on points each week because of low quality sources.

Also- this is a good explanation.
