Assessment 5
Creation of Policy or Procedure
Create
a new policy for the medical center based on evidence using the attached
Hospital Policy template.
Collapse All
Introduction
Quality
improvement begins with the end in mind. Up until now, you have researched the
practice problem and developed a focused, evidence-based intervention to address
a patient safety problem. The next step would be to implement the practice
change and evaluate the change to determine the effect it had on the
population. Now, developing a policy will help sustain the change.
Along
the way, you will learn that as a leader in a health care organization, you
will not only facilitate the steps of evidence-based practice, but you will
apply evidence-based leadership strategies to serve as a role model for
decision making in your organization. Your skills and ability to promote and
encourage evidence-based behavior and decision making among staff, providers,
and other leaders will be invaluable to creating and sustaining an
evidence-based organization and a culture of evidence. Your own leadership
style will influence how you support and model evidence-based processes at your
organization.
The
purpose of this assessment is to complete the stages in the EBP process,
translating the research into practice. You will be developing a policy or
procedure to address a patient safety issue in a healthcare setting.
Incorporate information from prior assessment where appropriate.
Scenario
As the
Director of Clinical Operations and Nursing Excellence, it is your
responsibility to ensure that the best practices and protocols are implemented
and sustained at the medical center. The next step is to translate the evidence
into practice. Policy development is an important final step. Without a formal
policy or guideline, it is likely the change will not become permanent.
Policies and procedures standardize care which in turn, improves patient
safety.

2 page paper on whether you are for or against organ donation along with why. mention pros and cons. Justify being for or against and not whether you want to donate your own organs. provide at least 2 outside resources to support your assertions

In chapter one of your text, you examined the characteristics, similarities, and differences of clinical and population health research. Using that information as your guide, reflect on the current state of population health outcomes, and healthcare service delivery. What trends do you do you believe should be a priority for both population health and clinical researchers? What trends do healthcare administrators need to consider when developing programs designed to meet the needs of providers and healthcare organizations?

Your role: Content contributor for The American Journal of Nursing
Audience: Healthcare professionals, nursing and administrative.
Format: 3-page paper, editorial style. Plus, a cover and reference page. A minimum of four scholarly sources should be included. In-text citations are required. APA style should be followed throughout.
Refer to the article Engaging policy in science writing: Patterns and strategies within Unit 3 Topic 2 for additional guidance on using the “push” style of writing. (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0220497)
Structure:
Choose any scientific research topic, with relevant and reliable scholarly sources available for you to review. If your background is clinical, your focus may be heavy on the science or clinical elements. If your background is more administrative, you may choose research which is more closely related to a social issue (such as emergency contraceptives, vaping use, etc.)
Choose a policy or proposed policy that directly relates to your area of scientific research.
Write an editorial article, approximately 3 pages in length, summarizing the scientific research on your chosen topic, and aligning it with relevant health policy. Explain the need for increased awareness around the topic:
Who needs to do something about it,
When action is needed,
What that action could look like, and
Why such action will positively influence the future of healthcare.
I have provided 2 example papers. Choose a different topic though.

Part 1: Risk Management Policy and Procedure (3–4 pages)
As the new risk manager in your health care organization, your director has assigned you the responsibility of drafting the organization’s risk management policy and procedure. This assessment stemmed from your director’s perception that employees lacked knowledge and awareness of risk management’s contribution to furthering the organization’s safety and quality improvement efforts. Likewise, your director also saw evidence that departments within the organization were inconsistently applying risk management principles to their daily work practices.
The guidance you have received from your director about writing this policy and procedure is that it needs to include all of the following headings. It also needs to answer all of the questions underneath each heading:
Purpose Statement:
How can a risk management program help this organization advance its strategic safety and quality goals?
Key Risk Management Terms:
What is the definition for each of these risk management terms?
Risk prevention.
Risk reduction.
Regulatory compliance.
Patient safety.
Adverse event.
Near miss.
Risk Categories and Risk Identification Techniques:
Discuss 3 of the 5 following health care risk categories, as well as their corresponding risk identification technique:
Financial.
Human capital.
Clinical.
Strategic.
Legal/ethical.
What risk management strategies will the organization use to identify potential organizational risks? Be sure your narrative identifies and describes such risk identification techniques as concurrent, retrospective, incident-reporting, and previous trends.
​Note: These are only a few of the risk identification techniques to address in your policy and procedure. Be sure to include other examples you are aware of from your professional experience or from your readings.
What are some specific examples of risks and their appropriate corresponding risk identification techniques? For example, coding errors are a type of financial risk. Retrospective auditing is the risk identification technique used to identify this risk type.
Risk Manager’s Role in Program Implementation and Compliance:
What is the risk manager’s role in risk management program implementation and compliance?
How can a risk manager impact the effective management of the organization’s risk management program?
What is one example from the literature that shows how the risk manager role can positively impact a health care organization’s management of its risk management program?
Part 2: Application of Risk Management Principles to a Specific Incident (3–4 pages)
To further help employees and the organization at large see risk management’s contribution to helping the organization achieve its safety and quality goals, your director has asked you to analyze and apply risk management principles to a recent incident that occurred in the organization. Your director has asked you to include all of the following headings in your analysis and to address all of the questions underneath each heading.
Risk Description: Provide an overview of the risk including a description of the risk, implications to patients, and risk management strategies.
Which potential risk to your organization from the Vila Health: Patient Safety simulation are you analyzing? These include a patient identification error, a medication error, and a HIPAA/privacy violation.
Risk Implications: Propose evidence-based risk management strategies and techniques to identify and eliminate or reduce a particular risk.
What are the risks to the patients, employees, and organization if this particular risk is not addressed? In other words, what could happen if the organization chooses to do nothing?
Risk Reduction/Elimination: Propose evidence-based risk management best practices or strategies to identify and eliminate or reduce a particular risk.
What evidence-based risk management best practices or strategies could the organization employ to eliminate or reduce the risk in the future? For example, if you plan to identify the risk by analyzing incident report data, would you conduct a drill down to determine what is causing the risk? What other best practices might you employ? Consult your suggested resources for guidance on best practices for eliminating and reducing risk.
What steps would you take to implement your plan to eliminate or reduce your selected risk?
Importance of a Risk Management Program: Explain the importance of a risk management program to health care organizations.
Why is a risk management program important to an organization?
What are some important elements of a risk management program?
What is the organizational impact of not having a risk management program?
Please review the Risk Management Policy and Procedure Scoring Guide to ensure you understand the grading requirements for this assessment.
