Various internal and external factors influence quality management and outcomes in hospital organizations. One internal factor that affects quality management and outcomes is leadership within the organization. Leadership is important to have successful quality management outcomes because if the leadership does not support it, no change within the organization will be successful. “This commitment must be shared by the board of trustees and all senior clinical and administrative managers and understood that it is a long-term process” (Chassen and Leob, 2011). Leadership is one of the most influential internal parts of the quality management program. Leadership can either help the organization succeed with their support or help the organization fail if they do not support and follow

Quality Improvement (QI) is an organizational approach leading to the quality of patient care and patient services through use of specific guidelines, principles, and methods to ensure quality of care for every patient and health care facility throughout the world. Quality outcomes focus on the principles of quality management. These measurements investigate the quality of care, patient outcomes and consumer needs, through being part of the participant group. This quality improvement discussion will review the foundational frameworks of QI and explanation of each framework in detail. Included in this QI report will be

At Fort Madison Community Hospital they are focus at continuing improving quality service and managing care within the facility. To do this they have to measure accurately by different methods of quality improvement strategies.

al., 2012). Trying to get the leadership motivated with adapting to TQM was a challenge in the beginning. The enthusiasm of top leaders has caused the TQM process to become effective. Although Health care has a complex adaptive system, leadership is crucial in implementing an improvement system (Sollecito & Johnson, 2013). The strengths of the TQM process were the support of the chamber of commerce, implementation of a quality improvement plan, adapting a successful way to measure improvement and development of cost effective techniques (McLaughlin, et. al., 2012). Corporate headquarters was totally involved in the TQM program with the CEO John Kausch as an active member of the Total Quality Council of the Pensacola, Area Chamber of Commerce (McLaughlin, et. al., 2012)

Going through these quality improvement modules, has helped me to understand the importance of working together as a group can benefit a lot of people. And also understand and recognize the importance one of the rounds we do in the hospital that I work called daily care briefing (DBC). This rounding was implemented in the hospital because, during a post hospital survey, it was discovered that the patient’s were rating effective communication very low, which in general was also affective the overall score that the patients were giving to the patient.

On Thursday, July 27,2017 I attended clinical at the Golden Valley Medical Clinic in Clinton. I learned several tasks that take place in a clinic along with the many roles that are played at one desk. As an LPN in the clinic, there are many roles that take place. The LPN is responsible for assisting the patient from the waiting area into a patient examination room, obtaining current vital signs along with weight and height, ordering lab work and x-rays, handling referrals to and from the clinic, instructing patients on current and new medications, giving injections, and setting up and assisting the doctor with procedures. The Clinic currently accepts any patients ranging from infants through the elderly.

In the early history, Tenet Healthcare originated from a company named American Medical International (AMI), which was purchased by National Medical Enterprises (NME) in 1995. Between the 1970s through 1985, NME grew its presence by focusing on acute care facilities and specialty facilities, such as nursing homes, substance abuse facilities, rehabilitation services and psychiatric hospitals. In fact, about 40% of NME’s $587 million of operating profits were generated from psychiatric hospitals. However, NME was sued for fraudulent overbilling in the early 1990’s. Subsequently, NME pled guilty to the charges and had to sell all of its psychiatric facilities.

As a CEO, thinking about the quality vision I created for my project, I believe the area that need attention in form of performance improvement is the scope and organization as It will be an advantage for the project management team if they engage with the internal and external stakeholders as they will have vested interest in the successful implementation of the project at hand, We all want to create a stronger virtual community of patients and medical staff that will show empathy to patients and will be dedicated to promote a caring and financially stable environment for

Time and again, hospitals are often called upon to improve the quality of its various health care activities in order to better serve patients and immediate communities. A quality improvement plan thus helps in the selection of high priority areas and the utilization of evidence-based practices in conducting the improvement (Berenguer et al., 2010). In view of the healthcare improvement needs of Sunlight Hospital, this paper seeks to classify and justify five measurements of quality of care in a hospital, specify the four main features in a health care organization that can be used in the design of a quality improvement plan, and suggest the salient reasons quality of care would add value and create a competitive advantage

Fixing problems that face health care in many health facilities demand a system wide set of solutions. The systems used in these facilities must be assessed and redesigned to identify factors that will aid in the achievement of the set goals. The enormous task of achieving the goals should be undertaken collaboratively by all the key stakeholders, who include, health care professionals, planners and policy makers, administrators, payers, and patients and their families. These partnerships must begin with a common understanding of the problems together with a shared commitment to cooperate and work together to eliminate the problems. With this knowledge, therefore, an action plan for redesigning the health care system can be developed and later implemented. For a successful health care service to be realized, there are various factors which should be employed and which are not found in the traditional business setting. These include unique economic processes, proper regulatory requirements and the perfect quality indicators. This creates a need for every leader within the healthcare industry to create or develop unique skill sets that will harmonize both organizational leadership and the inter-professional team development. It is, therefore, important to understand the comprehensive approach to the management of patient care and also how the concepts of team development and organizational leadership support healthcare leaders in creation of a patient-centric
