Assessment Description
Health
care delivery and the organizations that provide, manage, and reimburse
for it are growing at an explosive rate. As part of this trend, the
allied health job sector is the largest employment sector, with job
growth projections in the 14% plus range for the period 2018-2028
(according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018).
Expansive
growth is a response to current and predicted need for services, and
while encouraging, sustained and rapid growth will inevitably affect
safety, risk management, and quality provision on scales not yet seen by
health care organizations.
In an essay of 1,250-1,500 words,
provide your assessment, with recommendations, for how the United
States, as a country, can best manage quality assurance in the health
care workplace going into the future.
Questions to consider include:
How
best can the United States, as a country, manage this growth in the
allied health sector? What role does the 2008 Medicare Improvement for
Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA), accrediting body requirements for
workplace safety, risk management, and quality care, play in this
effort? Provide examples.
Analyze the core safety, risk
management factors, and quality management tools in the health care
industry through accreditation that assist in the decision-making
process for implementation in allied health care.
Describe the decision-making process for safety, risk management, and quality management in allied health care.
What
steps might the United States take, from the global to the
organizational level, to maintain high standards for providing
outstanding care-based services?
Describe the core safety, risk management, and quality management tools in the health care industry.
What
are two or more performance-based trends in patient safety, risk
management, and quality management in health care organizations
currently being followed to meet this goal?
