Students must identify a key quality issue within one type of health care organization. Examples of quality issues include, but are not limited to, safety, access, timeliness, equity, efficiency, care continuity/coordination, and patient-centeredness. You are not required to analyze a specific organization, rather a general type of facility such as acute care hospitals, primary care service providers, long term care homes, home care, or rehabilitation centres. If you wish to speak to employees in a certain type of facility, you may, but you are not required to do so. You can further narrow your focus to a specific medical problem within your chosen sector or facility, such as a particular acute illness, chronic disease, surgical state, or patient population (i.e. newborns, Aboriginals, etc.).
Each student must select both (a) an organization type or sector, (b) a quality issue.
You will summarize and critique the quality issue (and improvement strategies if they are currently in place) and develop recommendations for improving your quality issue in your specific context. Although your paper will focus on quality improvement strategies and options, you must demonstrate systems thinking.
The final paper should be 6-8 pages, 12 point font, double spaced. References are not included in the page count. Any recognized referencing style is acceptable for written assignments as long as it is used consistently.
