LAW ASSESS 1/3

Use the TEMPLATE ATTACHED to complete this assessment.

1. Topic Selection: Choose a topic of interest that you would like to work in your organization or one where you have worked before or are interested in working. ( LABOR AND DELIVERY NURSE)
   • Look at the American Hospital Association, Center for Medicare & Medicaid, the Institute of Health Care Improvement, or the Joint Commission Patient Safety Goals.
   • If you cannot locate one, look at local, state, or federal issues. ( MIAMI , FLORIDA MY AREA)

2. Policy Application: Find a policy, set of guidelines, or government regulations and apply it to the organization’s work on the chosen topic. You may choose a policy you have access to from your organization. Other sources of policies include those published online from a different healthcare organization.

• Describe clearly how the selected policy complies with or diverges from the requirements outlined in a related healthcare law, providing evidence to support your position.
• Discuss the potential legal, ethical, or financial implications of non-compliance with the policy and its alignment with healthcare law or professional guidelines.
• Consider the consequences for individual practitioners, stakeholders, and the healthcare organization.

3. Benchmark Comparison: Identify a benchmark or strategic goal and compare it to the policy, guideline, or regulation and goal that is not at the desired goal or range.

• A benchmark in healthcare is a standard or point of reference used to measure and compare the performance of healthcare organizations, departments, or individual clinicians.
  • Benchmarks are used to identify areas for improvement and set goals for quality improvement.
  • These benchmarks could include national quality indicators, best practices recommended by professional organizations, or performance metrics set by regulatory agencies.

• Describe the benchmarks associated with the healthcare law, policy, or guideline, and clearly articulate the connections between benchmarks and policy. There may be more than one benchmark for a topic, but only one is needed.
• The comparison should include the benchmark’s numerical value.
• Parkland Health: Preventive Care example: This information is an example of available data that could be used to build a case for what needs improvement based on underperformance and help justify the consequences of not meeting the standards set for the CMS Core Measures. Some hospitals share lots of detail, while others provide limited information.

• 4. Metric Analysis: Look at the metric or measure that is not being met or in compliance with the policy, guideline, or regulation and analyze what needs to be added, removed, or developed to ensure the benchmark is met.
  • Consider how an Interprofessional Education (IPE) team can develop a Quality Improvement (QI) plan to improve these outcomes.
  • Analyze the consequences of not meeting prescribed benchmarks and the impact this has on healthcare organizations or teams.
  • Be sure to clearly identify implications and acknowledge assumptions underlying your analysis.

5.Sustainability and Ethics: Describe what is needed to ensure that the project plan will be sustainable, efficient, effective, and evidence-based.

• Consider how adherence to benchmarks can drive positive outcomes in patient care, safety, and overall organizational performance.
• Explain how you can ensure the solution is ethical and protects vulnerable and diverse patient populations.
• Advocate for ethical and sustainable actions directed toward an appropriate group of stakeholders, arguing effectively for recommended actions with a clear and perceptive explanation of the ethical principles and sustainability goals to guide such actions.
