IHP 430 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: You will build upon the work you completed in Milestone One. In this milestone, you will propose an improvement plan that focuses on the problem you selected in Milestone One. If you chose a problem in your workplace, be sure to use data from that healthcare organization; if you created a hypothetical healthcare organization, you might use a public domain database with instructor permission. Next, you will develop an implementation plan for the problem that you are focusing on. Then, you will discuss the predicted success of the performance improvement plan after implementation. As you develop this final part of the assignment, consider the following prompts to formulate your paper. Prompt: III. Performance Improvement Initiative
A. Propose a performance improvement plan that will address this problem. What specific relevant quality standard will this plan address? B. Describe the type of data that will reveal a quality outcome.
IV. Implementation of the Plan in the Organization
A. How will this implementation plan be communicated among departments? B. How will the data be displayed and shared with the organization? C. If the plan for this initiative was implemented in real life, what do you believe would be the hypothetical effect(s) on patient care outcomes? How will
health information systems support those improvements in patient care? D. What do you think the hypothetical effect of the quality or performance plan would be on the culture of safety within the organization?
