Zanderville Healthcare Systems

Zanderville Healthcare Systems, a regional acute care facility in the foothills of the Appalachians, is committed to delivering quality healthcare to its local and neighboring communities. The population it serves is diverse by gender and ethnicity. The primary payer for healthcare services is CMS. Over the past six months, the acute care facility has experienced a 25 % increase in readmissions from this payer group within the first 30 days of discharge. The economic impact on the health system has been negative, and patients’ satisfaction with their hospital experience has declined. Senior leadership has charged you, the nurse executive, to convene an ad-hoc task force to perform an outcomes audit and propose an intervention. Currently, patients receive a follow-up telephone call about 7 days following discharge. You decide to use an evidence-based practice approach and have the following information for the “working” PICOT:

P: CMS patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge

I: What will we do differently to impact the improved outcome

(State what this is)

C: Follow-up phone call 7 days after discharge

O: Reduce readmission rate of CMS patients from ____ to ____…..

T: Over next six months

If this were happening in your organization, discuss:

Whom will you include in your task force?

What outcomes measures will you audit?

Where will you obtain the data to determine your baseline and goal regarding the percentage of readmissions within 30 days of discharge?

What specific outcome do you want to achieve?

What standard or benchmark will you use for the outcome? What does your organization use as a benchmark for readmissions within 30 days of discharge?

Describe the intervention you will use to achieve your goal.

Then, restate the completed PICOT using the information you have collected related to the intervention and outcomes.

Conduct research to identify a healthcare data security plan that could be used for a major healthcare organization.

 Deliverable Length: 3-4 pgs 

Now that you have suggested an agile systems development life cycle (SDLC) and explored the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), you need to ensure that your processes support the security of patient data. Complete the following:

  • Conduct research to identify a healthcare data security plan that could be used for a major healthcare organization.
    • The plan should include the securing of systems and data.
    • The plan should account for interoperability challenges and evaluating all vendor systems.
  • Ensure that you are including mitigation strategies to deal with recovery after a breach of security violation has occurred.
  • Be sure to consider information systems as well as physical hardware.
