Module 6 Assignment: Data-driven Decision-making

in Complex Systems Guideline and Rubric

PURPOSE Across healthcare se,ngs, a vast amount of informa5on is collected and analyzed to assess organiza5onal outcomes regarding quality, safety, and efficiency. The analysis of this data is used to measure organiza5onal performance and to drive strategic decision-making within the system. The purpose of this assignment is to examine one specific data point and how it contributes to the assessment of quality, safety, and/or efficiency within the healthcare system. The importance of the selected data point, how it shapes decision-making, and implica5ons for healthcare systems will be discussed.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES Through this assignment, the student will address the following course learning outcomes:

• CO 3: Determine strategies to support efficiency and the responsible use of healthcare resources. (PO 2)

• CO 4: Develop problem-solu5on strategies for a selected issues within the healthcare environment. (PO 5)

TOTAL POINTS POSSIBLE: 200 POINTS ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW Consider how data analysis contributes to safe, high quality, efficient delivery of healthcare. Inves5gate the role of informa5on management in the evalua5on of outcome achievement and provision of data to drive strategic decision-making. Iden5fy one specific data point for which informa5on is collected within a healthcare system. Develop a 4 page paper to address the rubric expecta5ons; use a minimum of 5 scholarly sources to support your work.

1. Provide an introduc5on to the paper. 2. Explain one selected data point and the purpose for the collec5on of this data within the healthcare

system. Describe how this data point measures quality, safety, and/or efficiency within the system. Discuss one internal or external benchmark surrounding this data point that serves as a measure or indicator of success.

3. Describe a case scenario where outcomes regarding this data point fall short of mee5ng the required benchmark. Iden5fy the stakeholders impacted by the poor outcome, and the consequences realized by each stakeholder. Discuss the poten5al impact on organiza5onal quality, safety, and/or efficiency that results.

4. Describe how outcomes surrounding this data point reflect organiza5onal performance regarding quality, safety, or efficiency. Explain how the data in the case scenario can inform strategic decision- making to improve organiza5onal outcomes. Create an ac5on plan to correct the poor outcomes noted in the case scenario. Explain the ac5on steps, stakeholder involvement, influencing factors that will impact the plan.
