1.     Early in the course we did an exercise where we compared three different hospital HCAP scores. The posts were excellent. Choose one of the hospitals in the report cared you developed and describe what you would do if you were the director of medicine in that hospital to drive change towards more positive scores. Are there better ways to evaluate patient care and satisfaction? What would you do, and how would you do it? Remember, people follow people they trust, so be true to yourself. Think about how YOU would be most transparent and effective.

2.     You are an executive level administrator in a major medical center. You have a considerable budget, and a supportive board of directors and fellow executive administrators. And youre smart, so you know someday the money is going to run out. Salaries are increasing, demand is increasing, and costs are still out of control. Which health technology we have discussed so far in class (or perhaps there is another?) would you focus on pushing forward? How would you make your choice? How would you get buy-in? How would you measure success?

Fed up with technology, physicians leave the profession.

3.     Youre in a smaller to medium size group practice. You have multiple officesand multiple legacy information systems. You have shifted to a new EHR system that offers a significant improvement in many areas of functionality. Given the desire to develop a patient centered experience with an integrated team of clinical support, chose a few features that you would most want to implement, and discuss why you have chosen these features. What might be the challenges to effectively adopt this system? How would you measure success?
