Professional Publication

Post is of two assignments

1: Professional Publication

write a “literature review” to be submitted to peer-reviewed journal. The article should be thought provoking and have a unique perspective or insight into a current educational topic. The manuscript should be original and firmly grounded and supported by research. Do not just regurgitate existing literature. Unlike your Dissertation’s Literature review, a journal article literature review synthesizes the literature and is succinct and to the point. Begin by identifying the topic area and its importance to the educational field.

Green, Johnson and Adams describe a literature review as “a type of research article published in a professional peer-reviewed journal. The purpose of a literature review is to objectively report the current knowledge on a topic and base this summary on previously published research. A literature review provides the reader with a comprehensive overview and helps place that information into perspective.”

2:Nursing Leadership in Patient (Consumer) Satisfaction

Order Description

Module Objectives:
1. Identify and analyze patient (consumer) satisfaction data.
2. Link the need for quality assurance measures and patient satisfaction data.
3. Assess and evaluate organizational performance in relationship to quality and patient satisfaction.
Instructor’s Commentary:
For a little more than a decade there has been a profound shift in the organizational behavior of health care entities. Health care organizations are increasingly shifting their focus to improving patient and consumer satisfaction. Both hospitals and other forms of health care organizations are operating in a competitive environment where the ability to satisfy patients needs can mean the difference in an organization’s ability to survive and sustain change. The media is replete with hospital and health care facility closures due to the inability of hospitals to fill beds or provide adequate services.

This competitive environment, paired with the increasing government mandates for accountability, is spurring health care organizations to take a close look at tracking, evaluating, and addressing patient satisfaction data to improve quality and performance. Accountable Care Organizations in particular are designed to move health care organizations away from being volume driven care organizations to those of value driven care organizations. Important questions are being raised by health care organizations and those that are using health care services which focus on how satisfied a patient or family was with the services provided, how manageable was the system to navigate, and what was the quality of care given?

As you will note from the readings, the management and evaluation of quality measures within a healthcare organization require leadership. Different healthcare organizations use a variety of patient satisfaction data and quality assurance measures to improve care and service. In this module you will explore both patient satisfaction data and quality assurance in your organization.

compare and contrast the HCAHPS survey process with a key measure of consumer satisfaction in your own environment.
Determine the following from your own institution:
• What are the most recent patient (consumer) satisfaction scores for your assigned unit?
• Are the recent scores improved from the previous ones?
• Interview nursing peers at your agency to determine measures being used to improve patient satisfaction.
• What measures have been beneficial in increasing patient satisfaction?
• What additional measure would you like to see implemented?
• After collecting this information, present your findings and your conclusion in this discussion post.
