OM009 data-driven decision making

QUESTION 1.

Competency Discussion

Discussion Topic

 

For your Competency Discussion, identify and review an evidence-based practice or decision in a healthcare facility with which you are familiar. One example of an evidence-based practice would be the management guidelines for the COVID-19 pandemic in a hospital setting which recommends the use of high-filtration masks including N95, goggles, and gowns by healthcare professionals when having direct contact (within 3 – 6 feet) with infected patients. Reflect on your findings regarding the evidence-based data and how the data influenced the decision or practice you identified. Then, think about the advantages and disadvantages to finding the data to support the decision or practice. What are the barriers to finding and using data?

To begin this Competency and meet your required engagement, post in the Discussion area a brief description of the evidence-based practice or decision you identified. Next, explain your findings regarding the evidence-based data and how the data influenced the decision or practice you identified. Then, describe the advantages and disadvantages of finding the data to support the decision or practice including any barriers to finding and using the data. Finally, explain what the advantages, disadvantages, and barriers are to using data in decision making for healthcare leaders. Be sure to cite the appropriate sources in your response.

Question 2.

· Module 1 Pre-Assessment Submission

Assessment Submission

 

Note: Although this formative pre-assessment is not graded, a submission is required before you can advance to your summative assessment.

The Module Pre-Assessment is your opportunity to practice applying module content before submitting the final Competency Assessment. In the Final Assessment, you will be asked to prepare a presentation that guides the CEO and Board of Directors to follow the recommendation to expand the hospital’s ICU unit.

To prepare for your Final Assessment, consider the definition and importance of evidence-based decision making in healthcare. Next, review the three options for the ICU provided and consider how each option will address the issues in the ICU. Then, reflect on one of the three options and why it will maximize the benefits to the hospital, patients, and community. Finally, think about the impact the option you recommend will have on staffing, productivity, competitiveness, and finances.

For this Module Pre-Assessment, create a draft of your slide presentation for Part One and Part Two of your Final Assessment. Be sure to cite appropriate sources in the presenter’s notes and to review the Final Assessment Instructions for more details.

Note that you do not have to resubmit your Pre-Assessment to address feedback.

Question 3.

· Module 3 Pre-Assessment Submission

Assessment Submission

 

Note: Although this formative pre-assessment is not graded, a submission is required before you can advance to your summative assessment.

The Module Pre-Assessment is your opportunity to practice applying module content before submitting the final Competency Assessment. In the Final Assessment, you will be asked to prepare an evaluation of the evidence that supports your recommendation to expand the hospital’s ICU unit.

To prepare for your Final Assessment, consider how you might summarize the evidence used to develop the opportunity statement and recommendation. Next, reflect on why each piece of evidence is relevant to patients, the community, and the hospital. Then, think about how you might summarize the analysis used to create the recommendation.
