Review Discharge Planning Case Study below: Scenario: The case manager has been following a patient who has been in Miami Dade College Hospital for about a month now. The patient was critical at one time but has now progressed to a point where the hospital can do little more to help the patient. The patient is going to need 24-hour nursing care, but not at a level that requires acute care hospitalization. Since the patient does not meet criteria required to remain in the hospital, the UR coordinator refers the patient to the physician advisor for review. The physician advisor agrees that the patient does not need acute care hospitalization.

In this Assignment you will consider three different types of HSOs and apply the 7 criteria from the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (MBNQA) criteria. Although each of these criteria can be applied broadly in a similar way across the different HSOs, this Assignment asks you to think deeper and consider the difference between the types of HSOs. PART 1: HSO COMPARISON MATRIX Using the Module 1 Assignment 1 Template located in this week’s Learning Resources, begin by selecting three different types of HSOs that interest you or that you could see yourself potentially choosing for your future career. Using the Baldridge Performance Excellence Program, complete the matrix by typing in the characteristics which meet the criteria for each of the three HSO types. Describe each characteristic briefly. Give an example as to how this can be met in each type of HSO and explain the expected impact on patient care or the service provided by the HSO. PART 2: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Based on the results of the HSO Comparison Matrix, write a executive summary to the board of directors of one of the HSO types that you selected. Synthesize the information about that HSO and the application of the MBNQA criteria. Summarize the characteristics from the criteria for excellence that might be missing. Note that this is also completed in the Module 1 Assignment 1 template.

You are the provider 1. Evaluate drug treatment plans for patients 2. Justify drug therapy plans based on patient history and diagnosis- You have to address the entire patient profile( i.e. if a patient has a toxicity or adverse reaction). How do you resolve it? If the patient has a disease state that is not being treated i.e. Diabetes, then treat it. Refer to current guidelines to start treatment. 3. Use clinical practice guidelines to develop your answers whenever possible. Always reference the current guidelines 4. Cited sources- I do review the articles- Make sure that your articles apply to the patient and the case i.e. do not use literature that tests in animals. Do not use literature that evaluates a medication in a specific disease state that your patient does not present with. 5. Use at least 3 resources per case. 6. Please do not address the pathophysiology. Do not give me the mechanism of action This makes the paper lengthy and is not needed. Focus on the Drug therapy plan and address the questions from the case. 7. Select appropriate medications- not medications used in other countries or medications that are not commonly prescribed. 8. Last, but not least. Do not refer to " the prescriber should". You are the prescriber. Make a decision. "May and/or could be" is not a decision and you will not get the desired grade outcome if you "play it safe" and do not make a decision on the drug therapy.
