Describe the organization’s current payment methodology, and explain your rationale for choosing to move to your chosen model.

Moving from volume- to value-based payment methodologies can be challenging due to the cost of implementing them and to the variety of payment structures. The type of value-based program that works for one health care organization may not be the right fit for another. How do you as a health care executive determine the right structure for your organization? What do you need to take into consideration as you look at shifting from traditional payment methodologies to value-based care?

For this Discussion, review the resources for this week and reflect on the challenges health care executives might face when transitioning the payment methodology in a health care organization to a value-based model. Consider how the move to a value-based model might impact health care delivery for the health care organization.

Post an explanation of how you, as a current or future health care executive, would choose a value-based methodology for the health care organization that you currently work in or one with which you are familiar. Describe the organization’s current payment methodology, and explain your rationale for choosing to move to your chosen model. Be specific and provide examples.

How might health care executives choose a value-based care model for their organization?

How might health care executives choose a value-based care model for their organization? What would you, as a current or future health care executive, need to consider in making this choice? Are there other leaders within your organization who you would want to involve in making this decision?

Questions such as these are critical for your role as a current or future health care executive. Ensuring that your organization makes the best choice of a value-based care model, while informing the board of directors and other departments, is a critical responsibility of your role. Practice in developing executive briefs that may be presented to the board of directors for a health care organization is meaningful in helping guide necessary and sufficient information to enact initiatives for health care delivery.

For this Assignment, review the resources for this week. Consider how you, as a current or future health care executive would choose a value-based care model for your health care organization. Reflect on those key points that you would highlight as most critical in an executive brief for your board of directors.

The Assignment: (1–2 pages)

  • Write an executive brief that you would present to the board of directors that highlights your choice of value-based care model. Provide your rationale for choosing this model over others for your organization.
  • Be sure to incorporate feedback and recommendations suggested by your colleagues in this week’s Discussion.

Reflect on how health care executives might address the board of directors of a health care organization in order to reduce readmissions.

In an effort to reduce the high costs of health care, health care executives, physicians, and clinical staff establish guidelines to minimize the rates of readmissions for patients. While certain medical conditions may require that patients are readmitted into health care organizations, for less urgent or extensive medical conditions, ensuring that health care service is administered effectively the first time will go a long way in minimizing readmission. From a financial standpoint, patient readmissions constrict health care services, resources, and staff that would otherwise be used to treat new patient cases. From effective health care delivery, a patient who is readmitted may be an indication of poor quality health care delivery, ineffective process workflows, or inefficient patient care.

For this Assignment, review the resources for this week. Reflect on how health care executives might address the board of directors of a health care organization in order to reduce readmissions. Within the context of Medicare reimbursements, how will reducing readmissions benefit the health care organization?

The Assignment: (2 pages)

  • Write a brief to the board of directors explaining two specific strategies that you, as the chief executive of the hospital, would implement to reduce readmissions within the context of Medicare reimbursement.
  • Be sure to include support from the literature.

Post an explanation of how quality standards for long-term and home health care facilities might differ.

How do quality standards for long-term care and home health care vary in comparison to quality standards for other types of health care organizations?

Many health care organizations are part of a general network or group of health care facilities that may include urgent and acute care centers as well as long-term care or home health care centers. Within the context of health care delivery, the focus usually tends to fall on hospitals and acute care centers. However, with advances in health care organizational structures and strides taken with the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) model, most health care organizations are more a reflection of integrated health systems that offer services for urgent, acute care and long-term care and home health care services.

For this Discussion, review the quality indicators for long-term and home health care organizations in the resources for this week. Reflect on the measures obtained and how this may relate to your role as a health care executive in promoting effective and efficient health care delivery.

Post an explanation of how quality standards for long-term and home health care facilities might differ. Then, explain how you, as a health executive at a hospital, might determine potential partners for an integrated health system that includes long-term care and home health care. Explain how the potential partners may help to reinforce the mission and vision of your health care organization. Then, explain how this type of partnership or integration may be reflective of social change for consumer-driven health care. Be specific and provide examples.

How do you establish that this sample is truly random?

You are doing research on balance and fitness. To complete this research you will need a watch with a second hand. Identify a random sample of n = 12 men and n = 8 women. You must answer this question: How do you establish that this sample is truly random?

 

Have each subject perform the following task:

a) Have the subjects stand with their hands at their side, raise one knee, cross their ankle over the other knee, squat and bring their hands palms together in front of their chest. Time the subject until they put their foot back down on the floor.

b) Ask the following questions:

i) How many days per week do they exercise?

ii) What is their favorite exercise?

You will analyze your data and compute the following statistics for each group:

1) The Mean and standard deviation of the number of seconds the subject stayed balanced

2) The Median number of days per week exercised

3) The Mode of the favorite exercise

4) The 90% confidence interval of the mean

5) Construct a complete hypothesis test and determine if the two groups have significantly different balance using α = 0.05.

Write a one page introduction to your research, discuss how you selected your sample (is it a random sample?), and write a one page conclusion. Present your data in an organized manner.

Describe two tasks you can perform to strengthen and/or improve your brand using social media.
  • In the 21st century, there are few people who do not have an established social media presence.  This is part of your brand.
