  Healthcare Case Study Prompts

  $15.00

  REMEMBER CHOOSE ONLY ONE CASE STUDY!!!
  Both Case Study Prompts are Below:

  Case Study Question #1:  Following the assignment protocols -The paper should be no less than 2 double-spaced pages and no longer than 3 in length. List your references on a separate page, have 1” margins and cite your sources in APA style. Use a 12-point font (Times New Roman, or Arial), and not in bold font.

  Research and answer the question relating to the following case study/scenario:

  Case Study #1 Scenario: You have been hired as a new chief executive officer (CEO) for a 320-bed acute care hospital with outpatient centers. The previous CEO resigned under questionable circumstances, and according to the governing board (GB) members, the facility suffers from low employee morale and several departmental managers have recently quit. The GB members have further explained that the previous CEO was an autocrat who often publicly berated employees. This, in turn, caused employees’ to mistrust hospital administration, which spilled over into the provision of poor healthcare services.  Some GB members told how the situation has gotten so bad that they had overheard several people in the community recommending residents obtain health services from a competitor’s hospital 30 miles away and, in fact, visits to the facility’s outpatient centers has been steadily decreasing. To correct this situation, the GB members want you to promote a culture of continuous quality improvement and customer service within the institution in order to return public trust, the good will and high morale of the employees, and regain respect from residents in the community.

  To begin this task, you realize that you must educate your employees in the philosophy of quality improvement, and you believe it is best to begin by selecting a particular quality pioneer to begin your initiative.

  Answer the following question:

  Of the quality pioneers you have studied (e.g., Deming, Juran, Crosby, Joiner, Ishikawa), and given the fact that you want to promote an environment and culture of change based on CQI principles, select one pioneer to model or frame your institutional initiative. Giving specifics examples, explain why you chose this particular pioneer to teach the CQI philosophy to your organization. Feel free to use additional resources outside of the assigned reading to research the topic, but please cite your sources using APA style.

  —— OR———

  Case Study Question #2:  Following the assignment protocols -The paper should be no less than 2 double-spaced pages and no longer than 3 in length. List your references on a separate page, have 1” margins and cite your sources in APA style. Use a 12-point font (Times New Roman, or Arial), and not in bold font.

  Research and answer the question relating to the following case study/scenario:

  Case Study #2 Scenario: You are the director of the Health Information Services (HIS) department of a 220-bed acute care hospital, and it has been brought to your attention that in many instances nurses have not been entering data into the hospital’s A-D-T (admissions, discharges, transfers) computer system appropriately. At patient units, nurses are responsible for entering data to indicate that a patient has been transferred (to another floor/unit within the hospital) or discharged to home or other facility (e.g., long-term care, rehab).  Specifically, nurses have forgotten to enter data when patients transfer from one unit to another within the facility (e.g., patient transfers from ICU to 3-West). This computer entry error causes several other problems/complaints to occur that include:

  Patients have an incorrect location in the computer system, and therefore, cannot be located by family and visitors, as well as employees providing ancillary services (e.g., therapists, lab technicians).
  The Dietary Department delivers meals to the wrong floor/unit.  By the time the patient is correctly located, the meal is received cold.
  The Pharmacy Department routes medicines to the wrong patient floor/unit.
  The Transcription Department sends reports (dictated by the physicians and transcribed by the department) to the wrong floor/unit.
  An accounting error occurs, in which the patient is incorrectly charged for days in the wrong unit (e.g., charged for ICU versus 3-West)
  Departmental activity (relating to the budget) reports are compromised, which results in departments being incorrectly credited or not credited for work and services provided.
  As this has resulted in numerous complaints and poor service outcomes, the hospital’s CEO is quite concerned and has asked you to chair a CQI project team to address this problem.  You have collected the following data for the month of June:

  Nursing Unit    Total Patient Transfers for June    Total Transfer Errors
  ICU    35    3
  PCU    30    4
  OBS    20    1
  3-West    55    10
  2-West    49    7
  1-West    47    5
  3-East    35    4
  2-East (Peds)    23    2
  1-East (OB)    25    1

  Answer the following questions:

  As the CQI project chair, you have decided to use the PDSA method to direct your QI initiative; however, describe what team members you will enroll to assist you in this project, and explain why you have chosen these particular individuals.
  Using the data above, describe at least two CQI tools that will you use to present your data and highlight the issues at your first team meeting in order for your team members to understand the extent and focus of the problem?

  SOCIOLOGY 331 (RESEARCH METHODS) HW2: FIELD OBSERVATION ASSIGNMENT

  $17.50

  PURPOSE: The purpose of this two-step exercise is for you to conduct inductive and deductive research using qualitative methods.

  Note: it is important that you conduct the observations as two distinct events during this class; ‘recalling’ past observations is not the same as purposefully observing your surroundings from a sociological perspective, and applying two different types of reasoning to one observation will not be ‘truthful’ or successful.

  The purpose of this exercise if for you to observe ONE social setting or social artifact to begin to detect patterns in human behavior – observance of norms and potentially behaviors that deviate from the norm. This week’s exercise includes two parts. First, without any prep work, you will need to go to ONE public place (or conduct content analysis with your social artifact) and observe the people/artifact for 25 minutes. Social Setting: Note people’s behavior, their demeanor, their reactions/interactions to/with each other. Social artifact: from second to second (for TV), or page to page (for print), Note themes, sounds (i.. music), texture of page (i.e. ads in magazine), etc.

  Second, you will develop a research design with research problem, hypothesis and operational definitions for variables; then you will conduct another 25 minutes of observations.

  PART 1

  • Choose whether or not you will be conducting non-participant observation in a social setting, or content analysis of a social artifact
    1. Social setting: this should be a public place such as a park, mall, restaurant, etc.
    2. Social artifact: this may be ads in a particular magazine; one television show, a time-block of commercials, etc.
  • For your inductive approach, you will simply choose a time and location/artifact for where you are going to conduct your observations
  • 1. Social Setting: Go to the specified location and proceed with your observations.
       1. You must be a keen social observer; a ‘peeping Tom’ in the sociological sense. Take handwritten (recommended) and/or mental notes of:
          1. details about your chosen location (time of day, lighting, furniture, plants, sounds, temperature, smell, vibe/energy, etc)
          2. the people around you, not only their behavior but general information about their sociodemographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, gender, SES, etc);
          3. your thoughts and feelings while making observations

  1. Social Artifact: At a specified time (i.e. when a particular show is), carefully observe your social artifact

  1. Content analysis provides a sustained, systematic way to observe and measure the portrayal of that reality, as opposed to the quick, impressionistic way that we normally read consume media. Take handwritten notes of:
     1. Details about the setting in the images you see (lighting, furniture, background, vibe/energy portrayed); if audio-visual (note sounds such as pitch of voice, music, etc)
     2. Note details about the people portrayed, not only their behavior but general information about their sociodemographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, gender, SES, sexuality);

  • When you have returned from you observation, type up your notes. Review your notes for patterns in behavior, socio-demographic characteristics, etc.
  • Write-up your observations using ‘thick description’ of the location (i.e. building you were in (what is the architecture like), descriptions of people there (in terms of socio-demographic characteristics: age, race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status), sounds, smells, temperature, time of day and week, etc);
  • Analyze trends you identified in your observations/content analysis. What is a possible sociological/theoretical explanation for the trends you observed? This is best done by using sources to provide credibility to your analyses.

  PART 2

  • Based on your initial observations and written analyses, develop a specific research problem/question to be further investigated (i.e. the variation in behavior of males versus females when entering a store with a glass store front)
  • Identify the key variables you are going to be investigating, and develop an operational definition for each of them. (this should include at least two variables, but not more than four). Your operational definitions will help to provide parameters for how record variations in your observations.
  • Write a hypothesis for what you expect to observe in your second round of observations.
  • Repeat observations/content analysis
    1. Social Setting – this should be done at the SAME social setting at approximately the same time of day (if you can do this one week later on the same day, it would be great!)
    2. Social Artifact – this should be done at the same time (if commercial block), or with the same show, or with a different issue of the same magazine , etc.
  • When you have returned from you observation, type up your notes. Review your notes for patterns in behavior, socio-demographic characteristics, etc. AND how they corresponded with your expectations/hypothesis
  • Describe observations using ‘thick description’ of the location (i.e. building you were in (what is the architecture like), descriptions of people there (in terms of socio-demographic characteristics: age, race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status), sounds, smells, temperature, time of day and week, etc);
  • Analyze your observations in terms of how they supported/did not support your hypothesis.
  • What is a possible sociological/theoretical explanation for the trends you observed? This is best done by using sources to provide credibility to your analyses.
  • Discuss the differences between your inductive observations and your deductive observations. How did the way you were observing change? How did what you observed change?
  • Briefly describe your thoughts/feelings in the two steps. Did you prefer one approach to the other? Why/why not?
