• Review the Learning Resources below. Pay particular attention to the featured frameworks/models, below, in the White, Dudley-Brown, and Terhaar text.
• Identify the translation science framework or model that is most relevant to your practice problem from among the following three models and consider your reasoning:
  • Roger’s Diffusion of Innovations (pp. 36–39);
  • Knowledge-to-Action (pp. 42–45);
  • Theory of Reasoned Action (pp. 66–67).
• Assess your understanding of “translation science” and how you would explain it in the context of evidence-based practice and quality improvement.

With these thoughts in mind …

Post an explanation of the translation science framework or model that you selected and explain why it is most relevant to your practice problem. Be specific and provide examples and at least 3 references

Assignment: Hypothesize the Processes to Manage Quality Outcomes

This week, you learned about the process to manage quality outcomes, how policies create the course of action and the limitations to that action, and you were introduced to the gold standard for assessing quality, the Donabedian Quality Framework of Structure, Process, and Outcomes.

To complete your assignment this week, you will prepare a Proposal Paper that contains the action plans (also known as the measures of performance) needed to determine if a healthcare organization is meeting each principle of quality health care as described by the World Health Organization (2018). The WHO describes quality health care as being effective, safe, people-centered, timely, equitable, coordinated, and efficient. For example, as the healthcare administrator, how (what action will you take) to know if the health care provided in your organization is effective. 

In your Proposal Paper, be sure to include an
introductory section that continues your discussion from the summary section in your Week 1 research paper where you discussed the development of the Donabedian Quality Framework and its use in healthcare quality management. Be sure to review any feedback provided by your professor on this summary section. 

The
body of your Proposal Paper will contain your in-depth discussion of each of the seven principles of quality health care and their contribution to patient outcomes. You will also include your rationale to support each of your action plans for the seven principles of quality health care.

Your paper will include a
summary section on how the organization's structure and the processes effects healthcare outcomes through the management of quality action plans.

In addition to your narrative, you will create a table that contains a synopsis of your action plans and rationale. Your table will be an
appendix to your Proposal Paper and the columns in the table will include the Principles of Quality Health Care, the Action Plans, and your Rational to support your action plans. Your synopsis may be presented using bullet points. Be sure to follow APA standards for the use of appendices.

5 pages, not including title page, reference page, or Appendix page

Include a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed resources.

1. Give an example of how you have advocated for a patient, peer or subordinate and the outcome.  How did acting as an advocate help you grow as a leader? (application).

2. Describe an example of strategic or operational planning you have seen in your place of work and appraise the outcome (pros and/or cons) of this planning (evaluation).

3. Analyze the type of organizational structure at your place of work, (which structure does it most closely resemble and why?) How does the structure influence mission, vision, philosophy, and values (evaluation)

4. Which power-building strategies (organizational, political and or personal) have you found to be the most effective for enhancing your personal power and why?  Which has been the least effective or hardest to achieve and why?

Develop an individualized plan for addressing each of the 10 pyramid points. Describe how you will address each point and identify a specific schedule, place, and goal for studying.
