An elderly Narangga patient suffers a cardiac arrest during cardiac surgery. CPR is commenced by the surgical team whilst a nurse films part of this on her IPhone. On her tea break she posts this video clip on her Facebook page with a tagline – ‘guess what happened at work today?’ Although the nurse does not identify the patient the hospital is named. A nursing colleague who is also a Facebook friend saw this and reported it to management.In this assignment you are asked to produce a presentation, 3-5 minutes in length (or equivalent) of a case analysis by making an audio recording.

THE ROLE HEALTH INSURANCE PLAYS IN COST, QUALITY, AND HEALTHCARE CONSUMER EXPECTATIONS.The link between cost and quality in healthcare. Cite at least two studies conducted in the past five years supporting your response.

The role health insurance plays in cost, quality, and healthcare consumer expectations.

Incrisis hospital has been concerned with the increased number of calls from patients regarding their quality of care from a variety of departments, including its emergency room, and its surgery, oncology, and X-ray/lab departments.

Incrisis is a 100-bed acute facility and was established in 2006. The human resource department hired you as a consultant to review the quality of care issue and make a recommendation on creating a quality assurance department.

Develop a 10- to 15-slide PowerPoint presentation to provide to the board of directors.

The presentation should cover the following topics:

The link between cost and quality in healthcare. Cite at least two studies conducted in the past five years supporting your response.
The role health insurance plays in cost, quality, and healthcare consumer expectations.
The various customers (e.g., patients, families, providers, insurance companies) and the healthcare quality from their perspective.
At least three current business initiatives driving healthcare quality.
The role that national policy plays on the quality of healthcare.
A clear explanation of why the quality assurance department should be created.
Include Speaker Notes.

Complete the “Coyne and Messina Articles Analysis.” Study the information in the right-side column related to the Coyne, et al. study, which identifies the required elements as found in the reading.

In a paper (1,000-1,250 words), compare and contrast the major elements of the reports by Coyne et al. and Messina et al., listed in the Module 2 Readings.

2) Complete the “Coyne and Messina Articles Analysis.” Study the information in the right-side column related to the Coyne, et al. study, which identifies the required elements as found in the reading. Complete the information for the Messina et al. article by identifying the required elements from the article.

3) Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

4) This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.

Coyne and Messina Articles Analysis

As an example guideline, review the study components in the left-side column of the table below. Read the study by Messina et al., and build the data in the right-side column with the key components in that study.

Research Question:

Coyne: Do size and ownership type make a difference in the efficiency and cost results of hospitals in Washington state? (Highlight p.164, second column, starting 15 lines from bottom to seven lines from bottom.)

Messina:

How did the research question emerge from the review of literature in the article?

Coyne:

Built on an earlier study by Coyne on performance differences between multi-facility systems and independent hospitals using two cost measures. Cited studies that used a range of variables to measure differences in hospital performance, and noted that prior findings have been inconclusive in regard to hospital size, although economies of scale were found.

Messina:

Independent Variables

Type:

Coyne:

Hospital size and hospital ownership structure.

Categorical

Messina:

Dependent Variables

Type:

Coyne:

Efficiency measures – continuous variables.

Cost measures – continuous variables.

Messina:

Design Elements

1. Quantitative vs. Qualitative

2. Sample Size

3. Method of sample selection

4. Experimental vs. control group?

5. Reliable and valid data instruments?

Coyne:

Quantitative 96

Picked all hospitals in state, except investor owned hospitals.

No

Used data that are commonly used to measure hospital efficiency and performance with high degrees of accuracy (reliable), and data that are historically used and make sense to other hospital users (valid).

Messina:

Describe analysis.

What statistics were used?

Coyne:

Two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

Messina:

Did the researchers’ conclusions make sense, did they answer the research question, and did they appear to flow from the review of the literature?

Did they explore control of extraneous variables?

Coyne:

They concluded that size and ownership type make a difference in reported levels of efficiency. Not for profits seem to achieve higher performance levels, and medium and large not for profits operate more efficiently than industry average. The same results were found for cost levels, in that size and ownership type do make a difference, with medium sized hospitals reporting lower costs than large or small hospitals.

Yes, when they called for national studies that controlled for case mix, scope of services, and payer mix, all of which could have affected the results in this study in an unmeasured way.
