IHP 435 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: Healthcare administrators must be able to understand and effectively use performance-improvement methods to further institutional goals and remain compliant with regulatory standards. The administrator role in healthcare organizations may vary, but the administrator’s ability to recognize the role of data in establishing meaningful thresholds for patient safety and quality and ability to analyze information to develop performance-improvement activities are essential. Your final project for this course will require you to place yourself in the role of a healthcare administrator with the responsibility of performing a quality assessment on your organization.
Prompt: Your topic for your final project will be a study of readmission trends for SNHU Hospital. For comparison and informational purposes, you have been given a data set representing readmission trends for the entire state of New Hampshire and SNHU Hospital. The third table in your data set shows where patients were readmitted after they were discharged from SNHU Hospital.
