Instructions

This assignment concerns quality management within healthcare.

The textbook’s authors, Johnson & Sollecito (2020, p. xiv), posed two questions in their foreword to start the critical thinking process of the reader.

1. “If we make improving quality, safety, and value an “enterprise-wide effort,” what do we need to know and do?”

2. “If we make improving the “value of the health care service contribution to better health” our focus, what do we need to know and do?”

You will choose one of the two questions above and write a reflection paper in which you answer their question. Your reflection paper should accomplish the following:

integrate course concepts to assess the knowledge and actions needed to affect continuous quality improvement in health care;

determine components of traditional quality assurance and quality improvement processes that you believe the healthcare industry will need to implement in the future to achieve the outcomes set forth in your answer to the question;

reflect an in-depth consideration and personalization of the concepts, and strategies presented in this course;

present insightful interpretations that are supported by scholarly resources and that clearly demonstrate critical thinking; and

conclude the implications of your answer to the question on your own future as a healthcare administrator of a long-term care facility.
