Triple Aim Outcome Measures

Assessment 1 Instructions: Triple Aim Outcome Measures

Top of Form

Bottom of Form

  • PRINT
  • Develop a presentation, containing 10-15 slides, on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Triple Aim, how current and emerging health care models support the Triple Aim, and how governmental regulatory initiatives and outcome measures can be applied in the care coordination process to achieve the Triple Aim in a population. Triple Aim Outcome Measures

    ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

Introduction

The Triple Aim is a framework by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (n.d.) for “simultaneously improving the health of the population, enhancing the experience and outcomes of the patient, and reducing per capita cost of care for the benefit of communities.” Care coordinators must have a model and framework to guide their practice and enable them to achieve the Triple Aim. Presently, many rural hospitals are using archaic models that must be updated to achieve the Triple Aim. For example, the patient-centered medical home model has been around for 30 years, but it has evolved during that time.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop an evidence-based presentation of the ways in which an organization’s care coordination process can be modified to achieve the Triple Aim.

Models of Care

National initiatives focus on health care organizations to continuously improve the quality, safety, and coordination of care. In response to these initiatives, health care models have surfaced with the goal to guide national health safety and quality improvement efforts.

Nursing is an art and science with a foundation that embraces evidence, research, and quality. The thought “we have always done it this way” has long been discarded and replaced by standards based on evidence-based research. As the specialization of care coordination has evolved, care coordination has proven to be a vital element that links patients and families to safer and higher quality care. One care coordination model, the patient-centered medical home (PCMH), has gained momentum and support from governmental and regulatory agencies.

Reference

Preparation

In this assessment, you will assume the role of a new case manager at a small rural hospital, Sacred Heart. You have been asked to deliver an evidence-based presentation to hospital leaders and clinical leadership teams about the ways in which the care coordination process at Sacred Heart can be modified to achieve the Triple Aim within the hospital’s rural population.

To gain a better understanding of current health care models and their support for the Triple Aim, examine and compare such models as:

    • Patient-centered medical home (PCMH).
    • Transitional care.
    • Patient self-management.
    • Guided care.
    • Care coordination (Institute for Healthcare Improvement).

Then, finish gathering the information needed to prepare for your presentation by completing the following simulation exercise:

    • Vila Health: Triple Aim Outcomes.

Note: Remember that you can submit all or a portion of your presentation to Smarthinking for feedback before you submit the final version of this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.

Presentation Software

You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or any other suitable presentation software to create your slides. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with faculty to avoid potential file compatibility issues.

You are encouraged to review the various presentation resources provided for this assessment. These resources will help you to design an effective presentation, whether you choose to use PowerPoint or other presentation design software.

Instructions

Develop a presentation of specific suggestions for improving the care coordination process at Sacred Heart Hospital to achieve Triple Aim outcomes.

Developing the Presentation

The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your presentation addresses each point, at a minimum. You may also want to read the Triple Aim Outcome Measures Scoring Guide to better understand how each criterion will be assessed.

    • Explain how the Triple Aim contributes to population health, improves the patient care experience, and reduces health care costs on a regional, state, and national level. You will do this on slides with these specific headings:
      • Experience of Care/Patient Satisfaction.
      • Improving Population or Community Health.
      • Decreasing Per Capita Costs.
    • Analyze the relationships between various current and emerging health care models you have chosen to examine and the ways in which they support the Triple Aim by answering these guiding questions:
      • How do I define the rationale and philosophy of these health care models?
      • Can I explain how these health care models have evolved? How do I believe that these health care models have changed over time?
      • Can I cite at least three ways in which health care quality is enhanced through these models? In which three ways do I believe that these models most enhance health care quality? (Cite references to support your assertion.)
    • Explain how the structure of these models contribute to the process of gathering and evaluating the quality of evidence-based data.
    • Explain how evidence-based data shapes the care coordination process in nursing.
    • Describe three governmental regulatory initiatives and outcome measures that can be applied in the care coordination process to achieve the Triple Aim within a population.

Sample Prompt:

Prompt 1

The Role of Financial Management

Scenario

ABC Underwriters is a publicly traded reinsurance firm. The board of directors recently replaced the chief executive officer and some of her top managers after a lengthy dispute over the integrity of the company’s financial filings. You are being considered for the new chief financial officer role, and as part of the selection process, the board has asked you to explain your views on the role of financial management in promoting a company’s overall success.

  • Write a concise but comprehensive response as to what you would say that clearly identifies the broader responsibilities of financial management within a company and connects them to the activities of company management in general and to the interests of shareholders. Be sure to describe the main goals and contributions of financial management, identify the goals and interests of shareholders, and describe the relationship between short- and long-term financial goals and shareholder value in your response. (3–4 paragraphs) SF001: Multiple Perspectives on Financial Management

Your Response

Financial management deals with the practical meaning of financial numbers within an organization. Some of the major responsibilities of financial management include management of economic activities, evaluation, and disclosure (Hart & Zingales, 2017). These are activities which are critical to the general success of a company. It creates organizational agility and value through resource allocation among competing opportunities. Within an organization, it is the responsibility of the management to allocate resources which are limited to several competing opportunities. Financial management aid the activities of the company management through resource allocation in a process called budgeting.

Financial management also helps the company management in monitoring and implementing business strategies and also help attain these business objectives. Financial managers conduct data analysis, and from the analysis, they advise the senior managers on ideas to maximize profits. They create plans and strategies for the company’s long-term financial goals. Generally, they act as advisory to the company’s top executives.

In a company, the goals and interests of the shareholders are to maximize the value of the company, to minimize risk and to increase shareholder wealth (Morden, 2016). Companies exist to provide services and goods, and in return to generate net income and revenue. The net income that is gained is the passed to the shareholders through distributions, dividends, or by selling the stock of the shareholders to an entity or back to the company. Some shareholders aim at long term gains while others aim at short term gains. Both of these categories of shareholders aim at increasing the value of the company to increase their stake value in the business. Shareholders also aim at minimizing risk, and they seek out businesses that portray minimal risk for financial loss. If a company is unable to ensure shareholder profits and to lower risk, the shareholders are likely to divest from the company. Financial It does this by creating ideas to increase the value of the company and by paying dividends. A company delivers value to its shareholder because of its management’s ability to increase free cash flow, earnings and sales over time resulting in increased dividends over time. Financial management aids company management in monitoring and implementing business strategies that maximize shareholder value. Shareholder value, therefore, relies on strategic decisions which are made by the senior management with the assistance of financial management which translates into a return on invested capital. Examples of these decisions are investments in share repurchases, mergers and acquisitions, and in capital spending (Hart & Zingales, 2017).

Prompt 2

Analysis of a Publicly Traded Company

Scenario

You are an analyst for an investment firm that operates the Global Pioneer Fund, a collection of publicly traded stocks featuring companies with outstanding track records in the areas of ethics, social responsibility, and global stewardship. The fund’s chief analyst has asked you to research the Coca-Cola Company’s financial filings and other annual reports to help decide if the fund should invest in Coca-Cola shares next year.

·         Based on your research, write an analyst report that analyzes the company’s information and provides specific examples that describe the company’s ethics, social responsibility programs, and commitment to global stewardship and development. Include a brief recommendation that is supported by the evidence collected as to inclusion of Coca Cola in the Global Pioneer Fund. What concerns, if any, would you have about including Coca-Cola shares in the fund? (450–750 words)

SF001: Multiple Perspectives on Financial Management

Your Response

Maximizing shareholder value has been the main goal of many companies. However, in recent years, companies have realized that customers and investors are more concerned with companies’ reputation especially their corporate social responsibility and sustainability. Commitment to global stewardship and development, social responsibility and ethics have become many companies’ focus. The Coca Cola Company is among the leading companies when it comes to corporate social responsibility. The company started this concept in the following main areas: active, healthy living, energy and climate, the community, beverage benefits, the workplace, water stewardship, and sustainable packaging (The Coca-Cola Company, 2017). The company has also adopted various international guidelines on corporate social responsibility like the Respect and Remedy framework, and Global Compact into its conduct. SF001: Multiple Perspectives on Financial Management

The company focuses on conserving the environment by using materials that are recyclable. In 2009, the Coca Cola Company launched Plant Bottle becoming the first PET plastic bottle globally that is fully recyclable. Plant Bottle packaging account for approximately 7 percent of the company’s packaging volume globally and 30 percent in North America. Coca-Cola Company makes the PET plastic bottles from sugar and plant matter material hence reducing CO2 emissions. Coca-Cola is investing in more technology that will enable the company to utilize recycled material more in packaging. In 2018, the company announced its intentions to expand the access to the IP for the Plant Bottle (Moye, 2019). One of the goals of the company is to push innovation to chemical recycling and packaging design.

Since its start, the Coca Cola Company has given back over one billion dollars to promote local communities sustainability all over the world through The Coca-Cola Foundation. This is the company’s main philanthropic arm internationally. The company has committed itself to give back 1% of each previous year’s operating income through company donations and this foundation. In 2017, the company gave back over 138 million dollars to benefit almost 300 organizations across over seventy territories and countries (The Coca-Cola Company, n.d). The priority areas of the company include protecting the environment, empowering women and enhancing communities.

The Coca Cola Company uses the advertising platforms to promote and celebrate its values. It celebrates unity especially when there is cultural division. It reminds it customer about togetherness. For instance, in a spot named: A Coke is a Coke”, the company highlight that Coca-Cola is for everyone. In the ad, the animated characters represent people in various walks of life. This is an expression of the company’s values (Moye, 2019).

The discussed examples above are simply some of Coca-Cola’s main programs that promote corporate social responsibility, its values, and ethics. The company has numerous programs set to promote sustainability, company ethics and values, and its commitment to global development and stewardship. It has an outstanding record in social responsibility, ethics, and global stewardship and I would recommend the fund to invest in the company.

Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification

Assessment 2 Instructions: Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification

Top of Form

Bottom of Form

  • PRINT
  • For this assessment, you will create a 3 page report on an interview you have conducted with a health care professional. You will identify an issue from the interview that could be improved with an interdisciplinary approach, and review best practices and evidence to address the issue.

    ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, your participation and leadership in interdisciplinary teams will be vital to the health outcomes for your patients and organization. One way to approach designing an improvement project is to use the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement describes it thus:

The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is shorthand for testing a change in the real work setting—by planning it, trying it, observing the results, and acting on what is learned. This is the scientific method adapted for action-oriented learning…Essentially, the PDSA cycle helps you test out change ideas on a smaller scale before evaluating the results and making adjustments before potentially launching into a somewhat larger scale project (n.d.).

You might also recognize that the PDSA cycle resembles the nursing process. The benefit of gaining experience with this model of project design is that it provides nurses with an opportunity to ideate and lead improvements. For this assessment, you will not be implementing all of the PDSA cycle. Instead, you are being asked to interview a health care professional of your choice to determine what kind of interdisciplinary problem he or she is experiencing or has experienced in the workplace. This interview, in Assessment 2, will inform the research that you will conduct to propose a plan for interdisciplinary collaboration in Assessment 3.

It would be an excellent choice to complete the PDSA Cycle activity prior to developing the report. The activity consists of four questions that create the opportunity to check your understanding of best practices related to each stage of the PDSA cycle. The information gained from completing this formative will promote your success with the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification report. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.

Professional Context

This assessment will introduce the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Model to create change in an organization. By interviewing a colleague of your choice, you will begin gathering information about an interprofessional collaboration problem that your colleague is experiencing or has experienced. You will identify a change theory and leadership strategies to help solve this problem.

Scenario

This assessment is the first of three related assessments in which you will gather interview information (Assessment 2); design a proposal for interdisciplinary problem-solving, (Assessment 3); and report on how an interdisciplinary improvement plan could be implemented in a place of practice (Assessment 4). At the end of the course, your interviewee will have a proposal plan based on the PDSA cycle that he or she could present to stakeholders to address an interdisciplinary problem in the workplace.

For this assessment, you will need to interview a health care professional such as a fellow learner, nursing colleague, administrator, business partner, or another appropriate person who could provide you with sufficient information regarding an organizational problem that he or she is experiencing or has experienced, or an area where they are seeking improvements. Consult the Interview Guide [DOCX] for an outline of how to prepare and the types of information you will need to complete this project successfully.

Remember: this is just the first in a series of three assessments.

Instructions

For this assessment, you will report on the information that you collected in your interview, analyzing the interview data and identifying a past or current issue that would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. This could be an issue that has not been addressed by an interdisciplinary approach or one that could benefit from improvements related to the interdisciplinary approach currently being used. You will discuss the interview strategy that you used to collect information. Your interview strategy should be supported by citations from the literature. Additionally, you will start laying the foundation for your Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal (Assessment 3) by researching potential change theories, leadership strategies, and collaboration approaches that could be relevant to issue you have identified. Please be certain to review the scoring guide to confirm specific required elements of this assessment. Note that there are differences between basic, proficient and distinguished scores.

When submitting your plan, use the Interview and Issue Identification Template [DOCX], which will help you to stay organized and concise. As you complete the template, make sure you use APA format for in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that are informing your plan, as well as for the reference list at the end.

Additionally, be sure to address the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

    • Summarize an interview focused on past or current issues at a health care organization.
    • Identify an issue from an interview for which an evidence-based interdisciplinary approach would be appropriate.
    • Describe potential change theories and leadership strategies that could inform an interdisciplinary solution to an organizational issue.
    • Describe collaboration approaches from the literature that could facilitate establishing or improving an interdisciplinary team to address an organizational issue.
    • Communicate with writing that is clear, logically organized, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, and using current APA style.

Additional Requirements

    • Length of submission: Use the provided template. Most submissions will be 3 pages in length. Be sure to include a reference page at the end of the plan.

Thank you for submitting the assignment to the SafeAssign link! You received a high similarity score (75%). This may be due to not citing or using a reference correctly. Remember that direct quotes should be avoided as they will raise the score. Always paraphrase when possible.

I suggest that you submit your assignments to SafeAssign as a draft to determine whether you work matches existing sources published elsewhere. You will be provided an opportunity to review these matches and correct them so to lower your similarity results and avoid plagiarism concerns. A good rule of thumb is to review the highlighted areas and ask yourself if you cited correctly. If most of your sentence is highlighted, ask yourself if you need to use direct quotes, or paraphrase it. Once you determine that you are ok, submit the draft to the final submission link for grading. You may submit your assignment to the draft area as many times as you wish, but only once to the final link.

If you have submitted a paper that you used in a previous course, your similarity report may be high, please contact the me. According to Capella’s policy, you may reuse your own previous work; however, please make sure that your assignment matches the grading assignment rubric. Often, recycled assignments do not match.

According to policy, I am to assign a “non-performance” for all criteria in the scoring guide and request that you address the issue before submitting your next assignment. In addition, here is a Capella resource that may be helpful: https://campus.capella.edu/web/writing-center/sources-and-evidence/quoting  

Please let me know if you can see the SafeAssign results. While unintentional, continued high similarity matches may result in an Academic Honesty form submission to the school. Please see this as a learning opportunity for future assignments! I wish for your continued success and would like to discuss these results with you. 

Thanks so much!  I

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

  • PRINT
  • Write a 3 page trend analysis paper to describe health care regulations and medical practice evolutionary changes for access, quality, and cost, including the significant milestone events for different time periods.

    ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

Moana is a newly appointed quality reporting analyst for a Northeast Accountable Care Organization (ACO). Her director tells her that the U.S. health care system is going through a quality revolution. The drivers of this movement are years of proposed, failed, and enacted legislation; many regulatory agencies lobbying for change; and the myriad of quality initiatives implemented before and after the Affordable Care Act. Other influences in this trend are Medicare, Medicaid, employer groups, and the managed care markets’ drive to improve quality and reduce costs. The beneficiaries of these plans—patients—want transparency of their services in regard to quality, safety, and cost.

To achieve these desired health service outcomes, private and public health systems work in tandem to reduce the burden of disease and increase quality, while managing costs. They do this through programs such as Vaccines for Children (VFC) and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Healthy People (1990–2030), Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), and many more. Moana’s director shares with her that all of these private–public health programs and initiatives, in addition to the significant advancements in medical education, research, and technologies, have led to one of the most highly regulated industries in the United States and the world today.

In this assessment, you will review the private and public health legislation, regulatory agencies, and quality initiatives that have catapulted the United States into the quality revolution that we are experiencing today. As this quality revolution continues, health care professionals can expect to see more innovations contributing to individual patient and population health quality initiatives, with many more regulations to come.
Scenario

You are a health care educator for a large integrated accountable care organization (ACO). You are tasked to work with a group of hospital executives to identify milestone events for three eras, the 1800s, 1900s, and 2000s, and identify trends from those events that impacted the health care industry. The trend analysis will consist of three critical measures: access, quality, and costs. Milestone events and trends identified for these three measures over time should include legislation, regulatory agencies, and quality initiatives in the various time periods. The final paper will be used in an annual strategic planning session attended by the ACO and hospital executives to demonstrate how the quality movement has evolved into a quality revolution.

Instructions

Write a 3 page paper in which you explain and analyze health care regulations and medical practice evolutionary changes for access, quality, and cost, including the significant milestone events from different time periods.

Complete the following:

    ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

The health care industry is always striving to improve patient outcomes and attain organizational goals. Nurses can play a critical role in achieving these goals; one way to encourage nurse participation in larger organizational efforts is to create a shared vision and team goals (Mulvale et al., 2016). Participation in interdisciplinary teams can also offer nurses opportunities to share their expertise and leadership skills, fostering a sense of ownership and collegiality.

You are encouraged to complete the Budgeting for Nurses activity before you develop the plan proposal. The activity consists of seven questions that will allow you the opportunity to check your knowledge of budgeting basics and as well as the value of financial resource management. The information gained from completing this formative will promote success with the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal. Completing this activity also demonstrates your engagement in the course, requires just a few minutes of your time, and is not graded. Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

Professional Context

This assessment will allow you to describe a plan proposal that includes an analysis of best practices of interprofessional collaboration, change theory, leadership strategies, and organizational resources with a financial budget that can be used to solve the problem identified through the interview you conducted in the prior assessment.

Scenario

Having reviewed the information gleaned from your professional interview and identified the issue, you will determine and present an objective for an interdisciplinary intervention to address the issue.

Note: You will not be expected to implement the plan during this course. However, the plan should be evidence-based and realistic within the context of the issue and your interviewee’s organization.

Instructions

For this assessment, use the context of the organization where you conducted your interview to develop a viable plan for an interdisciplinary team to address the issue you identified. Define a specific patient or organizational outcome or objective based on the information gathered in your interview.

The goal of this assessment is to clearly lay out the improvement objective for your planned interdisciplinary intervention of the issue you identified. Additionally, be sure to further build on the leadership, change, and collaboration research you completed in the previous assessment. Look for specific, real-world ways in which those strategies and best practices could be applied to encourage buy-in for the plan or facilitate the implementation of the plan for the best possible outcome.

Using the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template [DOCX] will help you stay organized and concise. As you complete each section of the template, make sure you apply APA format to in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that inform your plan, as well as the reference list at the end.
