Develop a Set of Recommendations

Instructions

You have just been hired as a healthcare administrator for a healthcare facility working to improve its quality standing. As you settle into your new role, one of the first tasks you are charged with is to lead the quality assurance and continuous improvement effort aimed at addressing fall-related incidents in your facility (you can review the Week 1 assignment for guidance). 

At this juncture, the quality improvement team is working on identifying meaningful measures for data collection and monitoring over time. As the quality team prepares to meet and deliberate on the choice of these meaningful performance measures, you decide to write a memo to the quality team with recommendations for factors they need to consider when choosing and prioritizing these measures.

Write a memo detailing your point and rationale. At the minimum, ensure your memo addresses/considers the following:

1. Your organization’s strategic plan.
2. The need for a holistic set of measures that includes measures from the structures, processes, and outcomes.
3. Stakeholders’ interest.
4. Compliance and accreditation.

Length: 1-2 pages (excluding title and reference page)

References: Include a minimum of 2-3 peer-reviewed, scholarly resources.

Your assignment should reflect scholarly academic writing, current APA standards
