Write a 6 \u2013 8-page paper in current APA format that focuses on improving efficiency and patient <\/span>
safety, which includes a 3 page article critque. Include at least 4 \u2013 8 references in addition to the <\/span>
course textbooks and the Bible.<\/span>
You will need to complete the following to write this paper, which will focus on improving <\/span>
efficiency and patient safety. <\/span>
1.<\/span> Hospital Readmissions<\/span>
a.<\/span> Hospital readmissions are often significant, largely preventable, and costly. <\/span>
Readmission rates vary across diagnostic groups and among hospitals in various <\/span>
regions of the United States (Medicare, Payment Advisory Commission <\/span>
[MedPac], 2007). Using the Hospital Compare HHS and Medicare website links <\/span>
located in the <\/span>Staffing and Budget Exercise Assignment<\/span> under <\/span>Staffing and <\/span>
Budget Resources<\/span> or check the CDC\u2019s website. Select a disease\/disorder such as <\/span>
asthma or pneumonia to review. Once you find a disorder you are interested in <\/span>
and the 30-day readmission rates, compare your organization\u2019s 30-day <\/span>
readmission rate or compare a local organization\u2019s 30-day readmission rate.<\/span>
b.<\/span> Propose at least 3 reasons for your setting (or local setting\u2019s) 30-day readmission <\/span>
rate as well as at least 3 ideas for interventions to reduce and control readmissions <\/span>
at your hospital or local organization. <\/span>
c.<\/span> Be sure to link and discuss organizational theory and financial decision-making <\/span>
strategies.<\/span>
2.<\/span> RN overtime hours and costs: As discussed in the last scenario in Chapter 4, the CNO of <\/span>
Pacific Hospital realizes that overtime hours and costs are excessive. The budget target is <\/span>
to reduce weekly overtime hours per full-time RN from 6.5 to 4.0 hours. Strategies may <\/span>
include substitutes for overtime (Berney, Needleman, & Kovner, 2005), interventions <\/span>
such as rapid response teams to quickly address patient complications (Thomas, Force, <\/span>
Rasmusen, Dodd, and Whildin, 2007), and other ideas. Use an evidence-based approach <\/span>
to propose 3\u20135 strategies in order to reduce overtime at Pacific Hospital. Prepare a table <\/span>
showing your analysis of the reduction in overtime and related cost savings. <\/span>
Table headings must include:<\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span> Strategy to Reduce OT<\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span> Related Cost Savings<\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span> Analysis<\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span> Citation<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

3.<\/span> Review a peer-reviewed research article related to staffing, cost, and patient safety. Write a <\/span>
3-page article critique including your reflections on the positions presented on patient safety, <\/span>
cost, and staffing. Link your viewpoints to organizational theory and consider the staffing <\/span>
and operational decision-making strategies presented in the text. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
