The project manager is responsible for monitoring the completion and progress of tasks for the entire project. Based on the tasks defined in your timeline, develop a plan to monitor task completion. For instance, what activities will you set to communicate the completion and progress of tasks (i.e., weekly meetings, committee meetings, email updates, etc.)?
1. Hypothetically, assign estimates of completion and/or progress to each task.
· Note: Some tasks should be accurately estimated while others are ahead of schedule and some behind schedule.
· For this part, use your timeline and make a few hypothetical changes. Change the start dates, finish dates, and variances of some of the task. Even change some of the completion rates. Remember you are making this information up as if you are the Project Manager and you are actually moving along to complete the project.
2. Summarize the differences in estimated completion and actual completion.
· If the actual start or finish dates are later than originally estimated, select factors that may have caused a delay and evaluate the importance of the factors to the delay.
· Using the changes that you made on your timeline, list possible reasons that your start or finish dates are later. What caused the delay? This should be completed in Word document.
3. Discuss how monitoring tasks contribute to the successful completion of tasks and proactively addressing tasks that are behind schedule. Why is it so important to monitor the tasks and start them on time? What happens if there is a delay? How do delays affect the project completion?
4. Outline the activities planned to communicate the completion and progress of tasks. How do you plan to communicate the completion and progress to executives, stakeholders, and your team.
pulmonary medicine service
The patient volume for the hospital’s pulmonary medicine service has decreased steadily in the past three months after nearly two years of increases. The same report indicates that the costs for treating these patients increased during the same time period. Explain which of these issues you believe should take precedence, or needs more immediate attention: the decrease in the volume of patients, or the increase in the costs of treating the patients. Also identify the possible sources of clinical (primary) and administrative data the quality management team should research in order to find the causes for both the decrease patient volume and rising costs per patient.

levels and types of data sharing
Various levels and types of data sharing can be conducted by the HIE. Your own physician’s practice will be joining an HIE. Consider three possible methods for including patients in a health information exchange. Three possible consent models are: • No Consent.Patient’s health information is automatically included in the data submitted to and held by the HIE. Patients cannot opt out of the sharing. •Opt-Out. Patient health information is included automatically in the HIE, but patients can sign a form indicating their information is not to be shared or included. • Opt out with Exceptions. Patient health information is included automatically in the HIE. However, patients can sign a form indicating their choice to opt out completely (no data sharing), or allowing only select data to be included (such as patient demographics and ID of primary care practitioner only). Of these methods, which one would you prefer? Explain your rationale for wanting to be able to opt out wholly, selectively, or to have all patients made to share without an ability to opt out.

manufacturing principles
1) As health care looks at continuous improvement (as done in manufacturing), one of the most prominent questions that has arisen is, “Can the principles that worked in manufacturing really transfer over to health care? Taking care of a patient is not like building a car on an assembly line. Can standardized processes really work in a setting that focuses on humans and their needs?”
3) Refer to the assigned readings to incorporate specific examples and details into your paper.

Integrating Data into Organizational Improvement

Integrating Data into Organizational Improvement
Primary and Administrative Data
Quality measurement in healthcare organizations utilizes data from both clinical and business/financial operations. Although patient care and financial data represent two distinct disciplines, they can be combined in quality reporting to form a more complete picture of the level of quality in terms of acceptable health care outcomes and good financial performance.
Clinical (Primary) Data
The source of clinical data, known as primary data, is the medical record or health information system. Data elements abstracted from patient care records can be entered into databases which are used to compile information about specific patient populations, clinical treatment processes, surgical procedures and outcomes of care. For example, a quality report could be generated from the quality management database containing the number of surgical patients treated at the hospital for the month, and how many of them received a prophylactic antibiotic prior to surgery (a clinical process measure).
Administrative Data
While primary data provides the details about clinical processes and outcomes, business operations that support patient care generate data as well. Financial and business data are called administrative data, and can be also be extracted from aggregate or summarized clinical data, like patient volume, length of stay, or the diagnosis codes listed on a billing form. Many quality measures used for inpatient and outpatient quality reporting are based on administrative data, because they are readily available. However, administrative data elements in themselves do not completely represent financial or clinical performance. Clinical and administrative data need to be analyzed together. For example, from a clinical standpoint, a shorter length of stay for heart failure patients may be a positive finding. However, if those patients are discharged and then readmitted to the hospital within 30 days with worsening cardiac output, it leads to increased costs and utilization of resources, which indicates a breakdown in a clinical process and negatively impacts financial performance.
It is important to note that administrative data is often published in quality reports, such as the Joint Commission Quality Check report and CMS’ Hospital Compare. The data in these reports do not give details behind the results, but they can trigger quality improvement projects. Health care organizations can analyze administrative data and drill down to the primary data to identify the source of quality issues.
