August 4, 2019 Off All,

Preparation For this assessment, you may choose one of the following three options for a performance dashboard to use as the basis for your benchmark evaluation. Option 1: Dashboard and Health Care Benchmark Evaluation Simulation If you decide to use the simulation dashboard for your evaluation, review the dashboard, as well as relevant local, state, and federal laws and policies. Consider the metrics within the dashboard that are falling short of prescribed benchmarks. Option 2: Actual Dashboard From a Professional Practice Setting If you choose an actual dashboard from a professional practice setting for your evaluation, be sure to add a brief description of the organization and setting that includes: The size of the facility that the dashboard is reporting on. The specific type of care delivery. The population diversity and ethnicity demographics. The socioeconomic level of the population served by the organization. Note: Ensure that your data is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant. Do not use any easily identifiable organization or patient information. Option 3: Hypothetical Dashboard Based on a Professional Practice Setting If you have a sophisticated understanding of dashboards that are relevant to your own practice, you may also construct a hypothetical dashboard for your evaluation based on that setting. Your hypothetical dashboard must present at least four different metrics, at least two of which must be underperforming the relevant benchmark set forth by a federal, state, or local laws or policies. In addition, be sure to add a brief description of the organization and setting that includes: The size of the facility that the dashboard is reporting on. The specific type of care delivery. The population diversity and ethnicity demographics. The socioeconomic level of the population served by the organization. Note: Ensure that your data is HIPAA compliant. Do not use any easily identifiable organization or patient information. Report Requirements Structure your report in such a way that it would be easy for a colleague or supervisor to locate the information they need. Be sure to cite relevant local, state, or federal health care laws or policies when evaluating metric performance against prescribed benchmarks. Cite an additional 2–4 credible sources to support your analysis and evaluation of the challenges in meeting the benchmarks, the potential for performance improvement, and your advocacy for ethical action. Note: The tasks outlined below correspond to grading criteria in the scoring guide.
