MATRIX ASSGN

To prepare for this Assignment:

Consider the three steps described by Dr. Chassin and the seven major criteria of the Baldridge Performance Excellence Program, and reflect on how these recommendations can apply to health care organizations, specifically to long-term care facilities.

The Assignment:

In this Assignment you will identify major elements of high-reliability organizations providing long-term care. According to the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (MBNQA), the criteria are as follows:

Leadership

Strategic planning

Customer and market focus

Measurement, analysis, and knowledge management

Human resource focus

Process management

Business/organizational performance results

Using the Highly Reliable Organization Matrix located in this week’s Learning Resources, complete the matrix by typing in the elements which meet the criteria in rows and columns. Describe each element briefly, give an example as to how this can be met in a long-term care facility, and explain the expected impact on patient care.

Based on the results of the Highly Reliable Organization Matrix, write a 1- to 2-page executive summary to the board of directors of the long-term care organization, describing elements which meet the criteria from the matrix and how any missing elements of the criteria for excellence can be met.

Q.1/ jump b to Chapter 3 and focus on figure 3-1, the BIA Lifecycle on page 38. In your post, focus exclusively on the figure (3-1) and comment on what you think what might be the most difficult of the noted steps in ultimately conducting a BIA which you will not complete in this post. However, give the concept some considerable thought and use your natural ability to recognize where there are likely to be “potholes.” Indicate why you think the model might be initially confusing. What would be your initial step in overcoming any potential conflict? Responses to this post should demonstrate an understanding of management concerns and suggested first steps.

Q.2/ Looking at chapter 4 may be a refamiliarization for you with concepts inherent to planning. After reading this small chapter, you are asked to discuss the one most important point that “jumped out” at you during that process that employees should be aware of. Be certain to indicate why you value the concept.

“Reflect on the FEMA Whole Community Approach and relate the Strategic Themes listed to your personal community. List in a table, (as comprehensively as possible) the “unique” subpopulations in your defined community (by language, education or reading level, cultural belief systems, socio-economic capability [financial and /or ‘status’], age, and technology (phone, computer, television, radio, newsprint) access. In the same table (recommend Excel spreadsheet) identify at least two representative agencies or individual community leaders for each defined sub-population. In other words, look to see how the community you have chosen applies the FEMA Whole Community concept.”

*** NOTE: “Much like last week, the FEMA Whole Community document is a big one, but I have provided an overview file. Additionally, the following video will help clarify much of the document’s highlights. Take the time to listen.
