Assignment: HA540-2: Assess value-adding production of goods and
services in order to optimize an organization’s performance.
Instructions: In this Assignment, you will be assessing the quality of
services provided by hospitals.
Likewise, you will also assess how these
hospitals can improve their organizational performance. Using the
Medicare Hospital Compare website, research two hospitals varying in
quality performance* One hospital should display a high level of quality
One hospital should display a low level of quality
Provide a general
overview of each hospital (e.g., name, location, bed size, ownership,
etc.) Discuss the quality performance differences between hospitals
(e.g., survey results, deficiencies, complaints, services provided,
value, etc.)
Discuss how the first hospital is able to yield a high
level of quality. Discuss opportunities for the second hospital to
increase their level of quality. Synthesize how each hospital could
potentially increase value to their existing services.
Report your
findings by writing a 3-4 page paper excluding front and back matter
(APA standards apply). *You can select any to hospitals published on the
Medicare Hospital Compare website.
You will need to research the
database until you locate two hospitals that vary in performance
measures.
To narrow your selection, consider researching hospitals in
your community, previous places of residence, employers, competitors, or
even hospitals you would like to network with someday. Reference: : http://www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/search.html
