...Performance Improvement: Joint Care Center Matthew Arless State University of New York Plattsburgh Blood loss in a total joint replacement surgery may subject the patient to allogeneic blood transfusion. This places a patient at risk for the potential of transfusion reactions, graft-versus-host disease, hyperkalemia, fluid overload, and infections.( Qintong 2014) Not to mention the fact that most patient’s satisfaction or even more significant avoidance of the surgery increases with the fear of receiving an allergenic blood transfusion. This in all sense and purposes is an organ transplant. Cost of an allogeneic blood transfusion and having a sufficient blood supply are also a factor. Reduction of blood transfusions post operatively is an area that presents an opportunity for improvement here at the Joint Care Center Champlain Valley Physician Hospital. The procedure that was traditionally implemented by most of the orthopedic surgeons at Champlain Valley Physician Hospital to reduce blood loss was with the use of a tourniquet during surgery to slow the loss of blood and the implementation of an auto transfusion device. This auto transfusion device would collect blood draining from the surgical site into a device that the nurses would then have to attach a PALL filter to for re-infusion back into the patient. This procedure would be treated under the transfusion protocol, using up valuable nursing time and with the added expense of the devices and restriction of the patients...

...Purpose. There are many reasons to conduct chart reviews such a required by a regulatory agency, justification of billing, and research. Another frequently used purpose of a chart review is to assist in measuring quality of care. This measurement is then used to help determine if a change in process is needed to improvement patient outcomes. There are several models used in process improvement including Juran’s Universal Sequence for Quality Improvement, the Seven-step problem-solving model, FOCUS-PDCA and Six-Sigma DMAIC (Langley, Moen, Nolan, Nolan, Norman & Provost, 2009). Chart reviews can be an integral step in all of these models in gleaning data to measure the depth of the problem or if it even exists. This paper will compare the advantages and disadvantages of reviewing charts, describe the basic considerations in performing chart reviews, and describe issues that can threaten the validity of data. Lastly, this paper will look closer at the Six-Sigma DMAIC process as this is the methodology used to guide process improvement in the facility for which this information is being obtained. Background. In 1966, Donabedian stated that the quality of health care is measured by structure, process, and outcome observation. Structure measurement includes resource quality, availability and accessibility (Donabedian, 1966). Process measurement looks at the health care services that clinicians and providers deliver (Donabedian, 1966). Outcome measurement is the end result...

...training and development programs to assist employees in reaching their ultimate level of performance; however monitoring of performance is necessary to ensure individual and organizational goals are met. The process of assessing an employee’s performance, managing employee opportunities and identifying areas of weakness is evaluated and handled in the performance improvement plan (PIP). The PIP spells out the areas of need, determines goals to improve these areas, and develops training and educational needs associated with successful performance enhancement development. The PIP addresses both the areas of behavioral and performance. In the reflection, Team “D” will address training and development and the PIP process in more detail to gain a better understand of the process. Assessing, implementing, and re-evaluating behaviors and goals will be addressed. Training and development of an employee are closely related but also very different. The goal is to achieve the tasks the organization requires and improve upon productivity and efficiency. The training process of a new employee is a requirement of his or her orientation. The employee will need to understand the roles and responsibilities of his or her job (Difference Between, 2011). According to Difference Between (2011), “Training makes an employee more productive for the organization and is thus concerned with his immediate improvement” (para. 1). The development of an employee is...

...Writing Assignment As commissioner of an agency responsible for child welfare, I am dedicated to ensuring that our caseworkers provide the children our agency protects with the highest level of support and aid. I believe that issues which affect the execution of our mission must be addressed promptly and attentively. I will use my influence in the agency to attend to concerns in a thoughtful manner. Internally, this includes managing cases well, improving caseworker training and skills, and increasing employee motivation through workshops and mentoring. Externally, I hope to keep our public image in check by properly attending to the case children and communicating with the media. Firstly, I will address the issue related to the two caseworkers reported to have not visited the families of a murdered eight year old and a twelve year old arrested for drug sales, in over three weeks. I will arrange for separate in person meetings at my office to discuss these situations in depth. This will provide the employees with an opportunity to express their perspectives and the potential causes for these tragedies. I plan to start the conversation by recognizing the good work they have done for the Agency in the past. Following this, I will transition into the fact that they have been noticeably absent as of late. The absenteeism will be addressed delicately--without prying into private life, instead by asking sincerely if there are issues at home in addition to asking...

...Permanent, Measurable Improvements In Performance Edit Article | Posted: May 11, 2007 The decades-long quest to transfer what is learned in the classroom to improved performance in the workplace has been a confounding one. For one thing, it isn't easy to change behavior patterns, because they've been ingrained over time. To correct performance issues, new behaviors have to be introduced and consistently reinforced over the long term. This means following up programs with enough continued learning, feedback, coaching and accountability to stimulate the growth of new neuronal connections that eventually take the place of old ones. Unaware of this reality, organizations have wasted billions of dollars annually investing in learning programs that fail to change behavior. The greater challenge of the quest for this "Holy Grail" is that the solution doesn't involve fixing just one thing. A myriad of variables within an organization influence whether learning is reinforced until new behavior patterns are established. A process I call Train-to-Ingrain was designed to achieve permanent, measurable improvements in performance by optimizing aspects of training and development that impact on learning transfer: - COMMITMENT - Support follow-up reinforcement - COACHING - Prepare direct managers for their development role - FOLLOW-UP - Integrate reinforcement programs with assessment and training programs - ACCOUNTABILITY - Measure performance improvement and calculate ROI ...

...transferred? What is the role of the multipliers? Brand: Home Depot Marketing Program Investment: This is the first stage in the brand value chain. Home Depot began promoting early this year because of the early spring, advertisements about getting the yard ready for the summer and starting home improvement projects. Although Home Depot has started early advertising this spring does not necessarily guarantee success. Program Quality Multiplier: The quality of the marketing campaign can be based off of four main factors clarity, relevance, distinctiveness and consistency. Home Depots marketing campaigns are geared toward seasonal changes. The commercials clearly portray what projects need to get done and they offer discounts and specials on those items to bring in business. A marketing campaign that touches on all four factors makes a definite ROI. Customer Mind-Set: The customer mind-set is anything that consists in the minds of the consumer with respect to a brand: thoughts, feelings, experiences, images, perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes.

...Home Depot vs. Lowe’s Retail Home Improvement Financial Analysis Background Introduction The home improvement sector of the economy is large with two major players in the industry and with many smaller local and regional competitors. These two major competitors are Home Depot and Lowe’s. These two companies account for over $110 billion in total sales each year. Even though sales have gone down over the past few years due to the downturn in the economy they have not gone down nearly as much as home sales and this is due to more people deciding to do more home improvements to their own home then buying a new home. Both of these companies have been able to keep up sales and increase them year over year by improving current stores and at the same time expanding both here in the United States and overseas. Company introduction Home Depot The Home Depot also known as Home Depot is a retailer of home improvement and construction products and services. The Home Depot was founded in 1978. The Home Depot operates 2,242 stores across the United States in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam.
