| Explain your progress on completing your Milestone 2 assignment | Progress: My progress with completing the Milestone 2 assignment has quite been challenging and encouraging at the same time. I believe that medical errors are quite an issue in healthcare and they need to be mitigated for efficiency in operations. Research shows that medical errors are among the leading cause of deaths in healthcare apart from chronic illnesses. The major solution to the issue of medical errors in healthcare is increased quality improvement. There should be the promotion of quality in all the areas of healthcare. Quality improvement applies to all the organizational operations starting from the admission of the patients, their treatment and their discharging from the hospital. Quality improved has to be a continuous process if the much-anticipated outcomes have to be witnessed. The milestone has enabled me to understand the major issues in healthcare through extensive research. My attempts in meeting the milestone requirements have played a paramount role in promoting my knowledge and understanding of how medical errors impact healthcare. The milestone has enabled me to increase my knowledge and skills in the field of healthcare. Currently, I am interviewing various officials and directors in different healthcare organizations. I have gathered enough evidence on what quality improvement means in healthcare. I have acquired the vital skills on the strategies that need to be implemented to ensure that continuous quality improvement in healthcare is not only a phrase but a functional operation. |
| Ask at least one question of your instructor that could help you do your best on Milestone 2 | Question: What are the strategies that should be implemented to ensure that continued quality improved is enhanced within the healthcare industry? What other additional strategies should healthcare organizations adapt to ensure that the issue of medical errors is resolved effectively? |
