Tools and Decision Making for Ongoing Performance Management

Select one organization type from the various organizations your Learning Team analyzed as part of your Week Four assignment. Build on your knowledge acquired from all previous assignments to complete the final Learning Team presentation.

Conduct research about decision-making processes in risk management and quality management in health care, including the following:

Common problems encountered by your chosen organization type
How to acquire relevant information required for decision making
Common tools used to enhance decision making
Challenges that may be encountered in making risk-management and quality-management decisions
Current and future trends in risk and quality management
What strategies should be adapted to improve ongoing performance
Outline your organization’s decision-making processes that will be used to address risk- and quality-management issues. A 1-page list of steps, a flow chart, or a decision tree format is suggested.

Complete the University of Phoenix Material: Tools and Decision Making for Ongoing Performance Management Scenario Worksheet located on the student website. Submit the worksheet to your facilitator separately from the presentation materials.

Create a presentation of your findings. Your presentation may be in one of the following formats:

A 10- to 12-minute in-class poster presentation
A 10- to 12-minute recorded presentation uploaded to a video sharing website such as YouTube with a link submitted to the facilitator
A 5-6 slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation, including detailed speaker notes
Another format approved by your facilitator
Support your presentation with a minimum of six sources, four from the University Library and two from either the course textbooks or this week’s Electronic Reserve Readings. Prepare a list of all resources used in your research.

Include the following in your presentation:

Why the process, information, and tools were chosen and how they should contribute to a response
The decision your team made regarding the scenario and how you reached your decision
How any changes resulting from your decisions could be disseminated and implemented in the organization

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
