  • “Improving Quality of Care: A Proposal for a Health Information Review of a Specific Patient Population” “Improving Patient Care through Information Review: A Proposal for Change in a Physician Group”

    Write a proposal (5–7 pages) for a health care information review of the quality of care given to a specific patient population.
    Introduction:
    You now know:
    What information or data you will be reviewing.
    From where the information or data will come.
    Which standards or goals you are trying to reach.
    You now need to determine how to make all of this happen. In
    this part of the process, you will put together your action plan. Who is
    going to do the work? What type of skills will they need? How long will
    it take them to do the work? This is your game plan. Each and every
    step needs to be clearly laid out and explained.
    Keep in mind that you are writing a proposal. You are telling
    your physician group what you would like to do, why you want to do it,
    and how you are going to do it. You are not buying new devices or
    starting a new process. You are reviewing documentation that is already
    present in the office, or potentially in hospital records, to identify
    whether your group’s physicians provided quality care.
    This assessment will complete your proposal for the health information review that you recommend. Throughout this assessment, explicitly state the reasons for each and all of your choices.
    Please carefully review this assessment’s scoring guide to
    better understand the performance levels relating to each criterion on
    which you will be evaluated.

    need to complete a cohesive, coherent, organized, and well-written
    proposal. Much of the information you include in your proposal will come

    the following headings and your narrative addresses each of the bullet
    points.

    from which you will retrieve information.
    Explain the use of information from an HIE and describe
    how it may affect patient care, clinical knowledge, and population

    these sources is compatible with the data you plan to collect.
    Explain how the collected data will be compared to the benchmarking and quality standards.
