This methodology is chosen because in performance improvement it entails satisfactory of the patients, the process of delivery and improvement of the processes. The quality improvement (QI) is identified to focus on bringing out the gap in between the current levels of quality and the expected quality levels. The Quality Improvement uses the tools for managing quality together with the principles towards understanding and address systems deficiencies hence improving or re-designing efficiently the effective healthcare processes (Scales, 2014). Moreover, setting up a Quality Improvement process is termed to be an easy task but in order to integrate these processes in day to day activities, there have to be effective implementation via the leadership dedication, empowering of the employees, the healthy culture of business and the effectiveness of strategic planning that management has been embraced along with the desired performances. Comment by Dr. Cynthia Hughes: What are you talking about? Comment by Dr. Cynthia Hughes: Introduction should discuss the salient points in your paper. Comment by Dr. Cynthia Hughes: You needed to discuss at least three QI methodologies, discuss the pros and cons, and methodology chosen for QI plan. Comment by Dr. Cynthia Hughes: Headings are required.

The information technology applications include the Hospital Admission Risk Prediction (HARP) and the Episheet. In terms of improving the performance area, the HARP aims in predicting the future events, creating the intervention mechanism to the health care providers and generating the information regarding patient risk within future framework (Scales, 2014). The other application tool named Episheet is a qualitative tool which is applied in epidemiologic data analysis. It will help improve the performance area through gathering of the information and ensuring the priority of the healthcare organization.

In order to meet the performance improvement plan, innovation technology has to be considered in all applications. The IT applications are applied in an object oriented technology as well as in a computerized patient records systems and might also be used in the specific components of IT. Certainly, the object oriented technology would ensure that all different systems within the organization are connected and proper management (Hermann, 2005). The information technology entails the management of the patient’s records through computerization in order to prevent loss or from being accessed by the illegitimate persons. Furthermore, this aspect explores that for the use of the specific IT components, it is quite easy to monitor an organizational quality performance because the organization does not need change from the component directly to the other when delivering its services.

The quality indicators are identified as the guide to evaluation of the appropriate performance of an organization. The reason is that the performance is always evaluated continuously and at last at the end of the projects in a way that the organization carries out the process. Therefore, the benchmarks are termed as the programs as well as the operations which are set in order to make assessment of organizational performances. It is ideally achieved through some of the standards and run trial tests (Scales, 2014). In quality improvement, this enables in determining how effectively procedures which are being adhered to by an organization are analyzed. It is therefore through these aspects that the performance of the information technology within the organization is identified to have been reviewed. On the other side, milestones mark the end of the project, an end of a certain stage or particular step. Moreover, the performance is progressively monitored, improved and improved after milestones. Comment by Dr. Cynthia Hughes: You needed to discuss three potential benchmarks and three milestones.

It is aligned with the performance mission, vision and the strategic plan in a way that healthcare’s provision targets goal by ensuring that each patient receives the quality health care services. The mission, vision and the strategic plan is to provide the appropriate satisfactory services to patients and work towards diverse population. The performance improvement is aligned with the plans of the health care organization through quality improvement and the patient’s satisfactory which have to be achieved. These tools have similarity like; they are used in evaluating the effectiveness of the health care services in healthcare organization settings. They attributed to the quality of services provided by the healthcare organization through directing the organization towards improvement on their services. Child Health Care Quality measurement is known to be much more concerned with children health quality. Meaning that, it contains information and also tools that can be used to evaluate the healthcare quality for children. It is based in the healthcare organization and the information that is evaluated is signifies health care organization (Hermann, 2005). The ambulatory care is used provision as well as evaluation of the health care organization readiness. It presents the tests regarding health quality preparedness along introducing a task. Contrary to the child healthcare Quality toolbox, the ambulatory care tool obtains information from people around. Comment by Dr. Cynthia Hughes: Conclusion should summarize the major points discussed in your paper.
