Compare Healthcare Delivery Models

COMPETENCIES
738.4.1 : Compare Healthcare Delivery Models
The learner compares healthcare delivery models to facilitate value-based care, shared decision-making, and equitable patient-centered care.
738.4.2 : Describe Continuous Improvement Strategies
The learner describes evidence-based continuous improvement strategies that improve patient care.
738.4.3 : Compare Safety Standards
The learner compares current practice with patient safety standards to promote optimal patient outcomes.
738.4.4 : Examine Systems Redesign
The learner examines systems design in a high-reliability organization.
INTRODUCTION
Patient safety is an integral part of value-based healthcare. Ensuring patient safety can lead to faster recovery times, which, in turn, leads to lower costs of care. When combined, these factors result in improved patient satisfaction. Ensuring patient safety requires professional nurses to be proactive in identifying potential safety concerns and proposing evidence-based solutions to mitigate those concerns across the healthcare continuum.
Your goal for this task is to clearly and concisely propose a recommendation that addresses an identified systems-level safety issue that affects patients within a healthcare setting, such as your practice or a colleague’s practice, using convincing evidence to promote the necessity for change.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.

Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).

A. Discuss a systems-level safety concern in a healthcare setting by applying the situation, background, assessment, recommendation (SBAR) format by doing the following:
1. Describe a healthcare-related situation (S) prompting a systems-level patient safety concern that has the potential to impact multiple patients.
2. Analyze background (B) information about the concern by doing the following:
a. Describe the data that support or would support the need for change.
b. Explain how one or more national patient safety standards apply to this situation.
3. Assess (A) the impact of the safety concern on the patient(s), staff, and the organization as situated in the identified healthcare setting.
a. Explain how the safety concern affects value for the patient(s) and the healthcare setting.
4. Recommend (R) an evidence-based practice change that addresses the safety concern.
a. Discuss how this recommendation aligns with the principles of a high-reliability organization.
b. Describe two potential barriers to the recommended practice change.
c. Identify two potential interventions to minimize the barriers from part A4b to the recommended practice change.
d. Discuss the significance of shared decision-making among the healthcare setting’s relevant stakeholders in implementing this recommendation.
e. Describe an outcome measure that could be used to evaluate the results of the recommendation.
f. Describe the care delivery model currently being used in the healthcare setting.
i. Explain how the current care delivery model in the healthcare setting identified in part A4f would be impacted by the recommended change in part A4.

B. Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

C. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
