Hypothetical Dashboard Based on a Professional Practice Setting
If you have a sophisticated understanding of dashboards that are relevant to your own practice, you may also construct a hypothetical dashboard for your evaluation based on that setting. Your hypothetical dashboard must present at least four different metrics, at least two of which must be underperforming the relevant benchmark set forth by a federal, state, or local laws or policies. In addition, be sure to add a brief description of the organization and setting that includes:
The size of the facility that the dashboard is reporting on.
The specific type of care delivery.
The population diversity and ethnicity demographics.
The socioeconomic level of the population served by the organization.
Note: Ensure that your data is HIPAA compliant. Do not use any easily identifiable organization or patient information.
Report Requirements
Structure your report in such a way that it would be easy for a colleague or supervisor to locate the information they need. Be sure to cite relevant local, state, or federal health care laws or policies when evaluating metric performance against prescribed benchmarks. Cite an additional 2–4 credible sources to support your analysis and evaluation of the challenges in meeting the benchmarks, the potential for performance improvement, and your advocacy for ethical action.
Note: The tasks outlined below correspond to grading criteria in the scoring guide.
In your report, be sure to:
Evaluate dashboard metrics against the benchmarks set by local, state, or federal health care laws or policies.
Which metrics are below the mandated benchmarks in the organization? Evaluate weaknesses within the entire set of benchmarks.
What are the local, state, or federal health care laws or policies that set these benchmarks?
Analyze challenges that meeting prescribed benchmarks can pose for the organization or for an interprofessional team.
What are the specific challenges or opportunities that the organization or interprofessional team might have in meeting the benchmarks? For example, consider:
The strategic direction of the organization.
The organization’s mission.
Available resources:
Staffing.
Operational and capital funding.
Physical space.
Support services (any ancillary department that supports a specific care unit in the organization, such as a pharmacy, cleaning services, and dietary services).
Cultural diversity in the organization.
Cultural diversity in the community.
Organizational processes and procedures.
How might these challenges be contributing to benchmark underperformance?
Evaluate a benchmark underperformance in the organization or interprofessional team that has the potential for greatly improving overall quality or performance.
Which metric is underperforming its benchmark by the greatest degree?
Which benchmark underperformance is the most widespread throughout the organization or interprofessional team?
Which benchmark affects the greatest number of patients?
Which benchmark affects the greatest number of staff?
How does this underperformance affect the community the organization serves?
Where is the greatest opportunity for improvement in the overall quality or performance of the organization or interpersonal team—and ultimately in patient outcomes?
Advocate for ethical action in addressing the benchmark underperformance that has the potential for greatly improving overall quality or performance.
At which group of stakeholders should your advocacy be directed? Which group could be expected to take the appropriate action to improve the benchmark metric?
What are some ethical actions that the stakeholder group could take that support improved benchmark performance?
Why should the stakeholder group take action?
Communicate your findings and recommendations in a professional and effective manner.
Ensure that your report is well organized and easy to read.
Write clearly and logically, using correct grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
Integrate relevant sources to support your arguments, correctly formatting source citations and references using current APA style.
Did you cite relevant local, state, or federal health care laws or policies when discussing the mandated benchmarks?
Did you cite an additional 2–4 credible sources to support your analysis, evaluation, and advocacy?
