At present, the convening of this group is to assess a particular never event that occurred in Huntsville Hospital last month. The National Quality Forum literally defines a never event as a preventable adverse event occurring in a health care setting that should never happen; like, wrong site surgery, patient falls, and medication errors as examples (Gitlow et al., 2013). Discussion, explanations and resolutions are the intended outcome of today’s meeting.

I conducted 6 private interviews, 3 walk the talk, one town hall meeting, and only once I announced goals and values. The impact of using these tools while implementing change for scenario 2 was twice the scenario 1. Because in second scenario everyone was aware of the need for this change. Getting a consultant support in the week 9 was a good decision and helped to increase the number of people in trial and interest level. Learning from the first scenario I revised the reward system in the week 32 and I got a huge number of adopters. Internal and external training was effective for resisters and I used that to change them to

An important aspect of Quality Assurance is a case management program. Case management is frequently used for patients that have complex problems and require numerous services over an extended period of time. Regardless of the type of case management program, they all have a similar purpose to coordinate the care and treatment for patients with serious and life-threatening conditions over an extended period of time. Case management programs are concerned with both reducing costs, and improving quality of care. In addition, there are some strengths, and limitations to case management programs. Furthermore, the importance of care management programs in the future will be discussed, along with the important role of gatekeepers in the care management process.

Action plans will include conclusions, recommendations, and action taken, with follow-up and re-evaluation noted.

Follow-up will continue for a specified period of time to ensure resolution.

Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) communicates the following five elements: design and scope, governance and leadership, feedback, data systems and monitoring, performance improvement projects, and systematic analysis and systemic action.

Do they have supporting documentation to put them into practice at various facilities? Can executing the aforementioned items make a difference at institutions? Now, start the journey to see how each section can be applied to your workplace.

6.1 External quality assurance refers to the involvement of an external body or organisation outside of the company (Vroeijenstijn, 2007). Some examples of external quality assurance are the external auditing of financial statements and inspections by either governmental or industry authorities. A significant amount of external quality assurance is mandated by law, so legal concerns are important to take into consideration. When external bodies are charged with maintaining quality assurance, there can be significant penalties for non-compliance. A restaurant with poor sanitation can be shut down; a transportation company with a poor safety record can face penalties or license revocation. In some cases, the external quality body is linked to an organisation with the legal authority to punish offenders. This is the case with the SEC in America, for example, and accounting transgressions. There is usually an established legal basis for such external quality assurance (ENQA, 2009).

Industry reviews show that in service is becoming a critical evaluation aspect to differentiate suppliers. The criteria should be well-defined, and not subjective to how the user or evaluator interprets it. For the purpose of consistency among buyers in an organisation, subjectivity needs to be minimum. Supplier evaluations should rate the performance of all suppliers equally; therefore it is important the criteria be measured objectively. Following are some recommendations for developing assessment criteria:
