Assignment: Composing the Executive Summary
Key quality and safety outcomes
1) Determine the strategic value to an organization of specific outcome measures.
2) Analyze the relationships between a systemic problem in your organization or practice setting and specific quality and safety outcomes.
3) Determine how specific outcome measures support strategic initiatives related to a quality and safety culture.
4) Determine how the leadership team would support the implementation and adoption of proposed practice changes affecting specific outcomes.
Your summary of relevant outcome measures is based on your findings from the quality and safety gap analysis you completed in the previous assessment.
Your analysis of the gap between current and desired performance was the first step toward improving outcomes. You now have the information you need to move forward with proposed changes. Your next step is to focus on existing outcome measures and their relationship to the systemic problem you are addressing. For this assessment, you have been asked to draft a summary of existing outcome measures for your organization's executive team to raise awareness of the problem and the strategic value of existing measures.
You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
Building stakeholder support is crucial to fostering and sustaining change. Therefore, as you approach this assessment, think about the stakeholders whose support you will need for the change you want to bring about.
1) What information is most essential for both the formal and informal stakeholders to understand about the proposed change?
2) How might you communicate the need for change using just a few sentences (this is often referred to as an "elevator speech").
