Week Three Faculty Assignment Orientation Presentation Purpose The purpose of this assignment is to have students research the measurement tools of NP performance. Through the use of quality patient outcomes, student will l ist and discuss three different patient interventions and how they would specifically measure the outcomes and h o w these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the practice . In addition, students will discuss how these interventions result in improved patient ratings . Activity Learning Outcomes Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to: Employ strategies to impact the development, implementation, and consequences of holistic healthcare policies using evidence-based practice principles (CO1) Critically analyze how healthcare systems and APRN practice are organized and influenced by ethical, legal, economic and political factors (CO2) Demonstrate professional and personal growth concerning the advocacy role of the advanced practice nursing in fostering policy within diverse healthcare settings (CO3) Analyze social, historical, ethical and political contexts of healthcare policies and advanced practice leadership (CO4) Advocate for institutional, local, national and international policies that fosters person-centered healthcare and nursing practice (CO5) Requirements: The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) was formed to ensure quality of patient care and measurement of patient outcomes with set standards. Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a performance measurement tool used by millions of health insurance plans. There are 6 domains of care: Effectiveness of Care. Access/Availability of Care. Experience of Care. Utilization and Risk Adjusted Utilization. Health Plan Descriptive Information. Measures Collected Using Electronic Clinical Data Systems You may access the 6 domains of care by clicking this link: (NCQA, n.d. https://www.ncqa.org/hedis/Links to an external site.) As an APN, productivity will be an important measurement for the practice to determine reimbursement and salary. Fee-for-service practices will require a set number of patients per day to maintain productivity. A capitated practice will require the APN to have a large panel of patients but also will focus on controlling costs. This can be accomplished through effective primary care that is accessible, convenient for the patients and has a method of measuring quality of care. Write a formal paper in APA format with title page, introduction, the three required elements below, conclusion and reference page. You are now employed as an NP in primary care. Choose one performance measure from one of the six domains of care, i.e. Adult BMI Assessment, Prenatal and Postpartum care, etc. USE THE QUESTIONS AS SUB HEADINGS 1.Develop three different patient interventions for that one performance measure and how you would specifically implement the intervention and measure the outcomes for that particular performance measure in clinical practice. List and discuss three different patient interventions and how you would specifically measure the outcomes. From the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) website, discuss three patient interventions for the one performance measure. Develop a measurement tool to track patient outcomes. Provides detailed information regarding three patient interventions and how they could specifically be measured. Uses valid, relevant, and reliable outside sources. 2.How would these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and health care cost savings? Discuss how the interventions can result in improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the practice. Provides detailed information regarding how the primary care interventions can result in improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the practice. Uses valid, relevant, and reliable outside sources. 3.How can these interventions result in improved NURSE PRACTIONER(NP) patient ratings? Discuss how these interventions can result in improved patient ratings (an NP’s patient scorecard). Provides detailed information regarding how these interventions may result in improved patient ratings. Uses valid, relevant, and reliable outside sources. APA Format : APA style references and in text citations are required; however, there are no deductions for errors in indentation or spacing of references. All elements of the reference otherwise must be included. Clarity of writing: Excellent use of standard English showing original thought. No spelling or grammar errors. Well organized with proper flow of meaning
