QI Plan Part One Organizations are faced with challenging obstacles of functionality where improvement plans within the organization is outdated. Some of the challenges include technological advancements have taken great shape compared to the previous century. It has become an essential attribute that an organization meets the needs of society and the improvement plan must be cost effective. In this discussion we have taken the effort to discuss “Baptist Memorial Hospital Memphis” which is considered as one of the top social and economical medical facilities headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. “Six Sigma, originally designed as a business strategy, involves improving, designing, and monitoring process to minimize or eliminate waste while optimizing satisfaction and increasing financial stability” (McGraw Hill, 2000). Baptist Memorial Hospital implements this strategy to improve the organization’s plan by identifying the potential areas of improvement. Areas of Potential Improvement To identify potential areas for improvement organization should have a proactive analysis to determine performance shortcomings. The analysis can be used to diagnose the cause and effect to identify the cause to obtain a technique suitable the resolve the issue. Based on the outcome of the analysis the organization can then evaluate and decide what area(s) need to be addressed to achieve organizational goals. The potential improvement areas include: • A customer analytics should be implemented to provide insight to understanding the needs of customers served within the community. • Statistical analysis of data to reduce error reduction to continually improve to ensure safety of patients. • Conceiving and implementing enterprise cost management systems for better performance. Objective indicators of performance determine how effective an improvement plan is no matter if the performance is improving or worsening. To analyze improvement rate, the organization has to start a survey program which will ensure that each patient provides feedback. There should be a team to analyze that how far the initiatives made by the hospital group to full fill the needs of the patients. Additionally the performance of each device must be monitored on a regular basis so that it will be quite easy to understand the efficiency of the hospital. Along with the activities the employees should be evaluated to identify whether they are providing good service delivery. The current strategy of Baptist Memorial Hospital has supported well enough to draw the attraction of the consumers in a competitive market. Even after that it is quite necessary to implement certain tools to look after certain performance so that it will be easy to add new plans. The performance information measurement tools include a logic model, balanced scorecard, and performance dashboard. A logic model is a visual map that displays a strategy of activities in an organization that will bring change in efforts to move in a better direction. In doing so, an organization can identify the challenging factors and take the necessary actions to overcome them. The next step would be to set up a good environment for the employees, as well as consumers. The logic model has many names such as a mental model, model of change, and blueprint of change. The goal of this technique allows the organization to spot a potential problem before the effects get out of hand. Another method used to achieve the organizational goal is the balanced scorecard which offers the vision, strategies, tactical activities, and metrics. Baptist Memorial Hospital focus on a QI plan to ensure the organization benefited in areas of profiting, customer satisfaction and performance. This method is similar to the logic method because the methods is visual and consist of a strategy map and linked to measuring operating cost, and investment returns to maximize profits for future productivity. This method focuses on customer satisfaction as the logic method, but the balanced scorecard is different because it offers more benefits. This tool can guide the overall process of the health care, as a result it will be easy to keep track among all the activities. Performance dashboard is a tool that is used to measure the efficiency of the organization’s operation and performance indicators. This tool accumulates necessary information to map the performance criteria so that it will be easy for an organization to keep track of all necessary information. The data is displayed by using pie charts, run charts, and bar graphs. Dashboards monitor time limited priorities and are monitored by team members regularly. Among all the performance improvement tools, logic model is considered as one of the important tools since it creates relational strategy for the organization to retain the consumers for a long time. At the same time, Balanced Scored model also plays a vital role, as it will provide a path to strengthen the business strategy. The Balanced Scored model will provide an option to analyze the current market and make necessary statements that will help to develop strong business model. However, all the tools exhibit similar kinds of behaviour to develop a business strategy for the Baptist Memorial Hospital, and also each tool provides analysis about the current business process and motivates to implement new steps so that the organization can be benefitted well. Tools to Measure and Display Data There are many methods that can be used to identify quality of the service that is provided by the Baptist Memorial Hospital to analyze processes that will provide quantitative data. The QI tools include run chart, control chart, histogram and scatter diagram. Another method used is a run chart which displays performances over time in sequential order. This method allows the organization to visually detect signals of causes to understand variation within the process. A center line is drawn to test the data for identifying upward and downward trend that from the real data. Another method is a control chart that has upper and lower lines and a center line to control data within the lines of the data to monitor to control the process. The information is monitored to determine if the process is or is not stable. This method is similar to the run chart, but the control chart can control statistical limits. Adjustments can be made to add more variation to the process. When information about frequency distribution need to be graphically displayed within the organization histogram are used. It helps analyze data and defines a right way to distribute the data across various departments. Strengths and Weakness of Data Tools As far as run chart is concerned, it is much helpful to arrange the data in the right way so that it will be easy to avoid the data integrity. These strengths will boost up the performance level at every stage of the business line. At the same time, it does not provide a stabilized solution for maintaining the variation level; as a result it will not be effective in case of error elimination. The control chart is helpful to maintain the upper as well as lower level limits to capture the variation limit and in that case it is easy for an organization to look after the error. These are strengths of the control chart, but sometimes the control chart does not provide actual variation beyond the fixed point. In that case, this is considered as one of the weaknesses of the tool. Histogram’s main strength is the graphical display which will ensure a fixed variation and it will be helpful for the organization to track the actual performance. Sometimes the graph level does not reflect the actual data and in that case the process is quite complicated due to this it is considered as one of the major weakness. When we look the nature of such tools from a performance point it is quite easy to say that, all these tools will helpful to maintain the proper business line for health care organizations. These tools will also set a standard so that it will have a direct impact on the performance. Conclusion In conclusion, it is essential for organizations to understand if the quality improvement plan is effective. Baptist Memorial Hospital strives to focus on the needs of the customer, productivity, and profiting to continuously improve. The success of the organization relies on a quality improvement plan. The methods discussed in this paper shows how the organization continues being one of the leading organizations in these improvement areas.

From your perspective, should the federal and/or state government play a role in motor vehicle safety?  Why or why not?  Provide a concrete example that supports your opinion.   

Public Health and the Law

In the United States, prior to the 1930s, public health efforts were primarily undertaken at local and state level. After the Great Depression, the federal government was called upon to intervene on behalf of its vulnerable populations. Since that time, debates over federal versus state roles in public health efforts have taken center stage in government and politics. (Turncock, 2012, 79)

For this assignment, you will examine the role of state and federal government as it relates to motor vehicle safety.  Review the case study Motor Vehicle Safety in your course text (pp. 93-96 in 1st edition, pp.102-104 in 2nd edition).  Provide a brief description of laws associated with motor vehicle safety at the federal level and for your own state.  Identify what type of law it is (e.g., constitutional, legislative, administrative, or judicial).  How do these laws relate to public health services? (e.g., health promotion, wellness and prevention, early detection and prompt treatment, disability limitation, and rehabilitation)  From your perspective, should the federal and/or state government play a role in motor vehicle safety?  Why or why not?  Provide a concrete example that supports your opinion.

Your paper should be two to three pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA guidelines, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.  Visit the Ashford University Online Library to locate a minimum of two scholarly sources that support your main ideas.

To complete this assignment, go to this week’s Assignment link in the left navigation: Foundations of a Compensation Strategy The most effective compensation strategy is one that develops a clear link between the following components: Job Description (i.e., work that an employee is expected to perform). Performance Evaluation (i.e., work that the employee has performed). External Salary Survey and Internal Salary Comparison (i.e., pay provided to each employee). Examine the interrelationship between these three components by describing the purpose of each component and how it affects the others. Then explain how all three components would be used to determine the compensation for an employee. Your examination should include a salary evaluation for a position you are familiar with (Administrative Assistant, Human Resource Manager, Maintenance Worker, etc). The salary evaluation should give results for each of the three components and detail how pay is finally determined for this position based on the three components. Example of the salary evaluation portion of your analysis: Purchasing Manager. Primary functions from the Job Description: To plan, direct, and coordinate the activities of buyers, purchasing officers, and related workers involved in purchasing materials, products and services. Organizational performance evaluation system: Outstanding – 6% Increase Exceeds expectations – 4% Increase Meets expectations – 2% Increase Does not meet expectations – No Increase External Salary Survey: (salary survey, which you can typically obtain online) Monthly salary range at $4,300 – $5,200. Internal Salary Comparison: (the relationship of this position to similar positions in your organization) Position is similar to Accounting Manager, and should be paid within the same monthly salary range of $4,400 – $4,900.

Foundations of a Compensation Strategy

The most effective compensation strategy is one that develops a clear link between the following components:

  • Job Description (i.e., work that an employee is expected to perform).
  • Performance Evaluation (i.e., work that the employee has performed).
  • External Salary Survey and Internal Salary Comparison (i.e., pay provided to each employee).

Examine the interrelationship between these three components by describing the purpose of each component and how it affects the others. Then explain how all three components would be used to determine the compensation for an employee. Your examination should include a salary evaluation for a position you are familiar with (Administrative Assistant, Human Resource Manager, Maintenance Worker, etc). The salary evaluation should give results for each of the three components and detail how pay is finally determined for this position based on the three components.
Example of the salary evaluation portion of your analysis:

Purchasing Manager.

Primary functions from the Job Description: To plan, direct, and coordinate the activities of buyers, purchasing officers, and related workers involved in purchasing materials, products and services.
Organizational performance evaluation system:

  • Outstanding – 6% Increase
  • Exceeds expectations – 4% Increase
  • Meets expectations – 2% Increase
  • Does not meet expectations – No Increase

External Salary Survey: (salary survey, which you can typically obtain online) Monthly salary range at $4,300 – $5,200.

Internal Salary Comparison: (the relationship of this position to similar positions in your organization) Position is similar to Accounting Manager, and should be paid within the same monthly salary range of $4,400 – $4,900.

Submit your analysis in a two- to three-page paper formatted to proper APA 6th Edition specifications. Include a minimum of two scholarly references to support your analysis.
