Introduction

Slide 1

My name is __________, and I am a healthcare within healthcare administration. The latter will be the shift toward a more administrative and administrator-centric form of healthcare system, and will require a new concept of administrator-leadership—a clinical perception of the problem will be expected, and eventually we are hoping to challenge the delicacy of the value-based healthcare system and patient-centred care.

The non-executive task that I will be eager to engage in between planning and clinical will be one that I will be particularly excited to do, as I will try to model the work of the entire system as compared to patient-servicing care. It will also make you more prepared culturally, as it’ll be my fieldwork experience as well as my leadership that didn’t get wasted, and not to mention excellent patient results, it’ll make all the difference.

Healthcare Practice and Focus

Slide 2

The work areas that I would be involved in would be the acute care operations, and I would be involved in tuning the transitional care (and patient throughput) operations. Vastly engaging to me in healthcare is the fact that we’re becoming just more and more aware of the healthcare connections we have in the hospitality environment–all the missing links between the hospitality environment and the hospital environment. This inadequate throughput, which is closely linked with an inadequate discharge planning process, results in reduced patient safety – either unnecessary spending during their operation or an overcrowded hospital due to poor discharge planning.

For any healthcare system, the other common thing to observe is that, once they miss the proper communication about the processes involved in discharging people, they can be disgruntled as they might not know what the consequences will be – if there are any complications. I know that in the kind of change I would have time to show myself in the performance of the organisations “unmeasurable” and that the patients would be ready to get rid of the clinically oriented setup and will not fall ill.

NCHL Competencies: Strengths

Slide 3

The competencies that appear to be the strongest in me, inspired by the list of competencies provided by the National Center of Leadership and Training in Healthcare (LCHL), would be relationships and network building, professional and social responsibility, and communication skills. These core competencies can equip leaders with the power to implement the core organisational alignment and to start high-performance cultures, as shown in the NCHL framework, in these complex clinical situations.

These are skills that will take me far in my future career as a Healthcare Executive, as they will be useful in my career to lead teams, introduce an organizational culture, and most importantly, improve the quality of results that I would get with patients. All of these skills will make me a ‘delicate unbending leader’ as each of them will provide me with a feeling of certainty and the ability to flow perfectly and shape people of different categories in the same direction as the organisation.

NCHL Competencies: Development Areas

Slide 4

My list of priorities will have some of the most critical topics that I need to focus on, which will push me to be one of the upcoming top executives in my field of focus, namely Financial Management, Strategic Orientation, and Information Technology Management, which will be listed at the top of my list of priorities. This has helped me realize that I am currently in an activity that will benefit me in other training areas like financial management, where I will have to manage the payer mix, budgeting, and financial wellness. The current situation in healthcare needs to be tackled both “clinically” and “financially” with a view to where the available resources are best utilised to improve the health status of patients. Secondly, I am looking forward to being a more strategic person as I will have the opportunity to ensure that the departmental objectives are integrated/considered in the wider arena of the winning game, the Health system’s missions.

Healthcare Topic and Evidence

Slide 5

My innovation will be 30-day readmission (RO) – the centre of my innovation would be that patients are cared for properly through the process of transition. Callers should bear in mind that the theme of the said mass would be one that was relatively new – on average, 30 days back to the patient after discharge (which would be the facility) and would be one that would cost the facility an astronomical amount. Such a nice study of discharge data should be guided by this fact, and then try to define areas of clinical practice that might result in a ‘recidivism’ of the type of burgeoning re-introduction that can again result in such a costly and preventable event.

Value Proposition

Slide 6

The data analysis project carried out above would be extremely beneficial to a healthcare organization as it would enable them to quantify those factors of an organization that lead to the fines being levied as part of the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program (HRRP). Not only would an uncompensated giant (IG) get a discounted charge, but an add-on “attribute” to the original list of specifications in the Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) could be added as well, based on data-driven process improvements. The result of this change in the care model (value, instead of reward) would be that healthcare organizations would need to be more focused on reducing expenditure, thereby making healthcare more affordable from a financial perspective, as borne out by the aggressive federal reimbursement policies. Other than the monetary profit, the project will help the organization to create its image, provide good care and safety for the patients. It’s just that clinical success and profitability have already been tied together just by the chance that they fall into an ever-greening value-based health care market, where organizations become viable and competent.

Career Relevance and Goals

Slide 7

In my long-term career plan (healthcare executive), this would be the basis on which the data would be used to allow me to carry out my long-term plan. It will also allow me to research and explore more complex issues in health care through the lens of higher organization (admin and systems level), where I will be able to apply skills to collect the data and use it to make strategic decisions.

Rather than the analytical skills normally required (or needed to be developed) to achieve a large-scale quality improvement, with readmission trends, these skills would be developed. It’s been a dream of mine to help prove my worth to contribute to the organization’s future—that sphere of healthcare administration—in addition to being able to use the clinical information to produce helpful and useful information, and this project will be one of those things I will have to do come August 15th.

Conclusion

Slide 8

Of course, the final – but not the first – thing that I’d expect to do in my future life as a member of this healthcare system would be to become a Healthcare Executive – which this project would be correlational to. Looking at the NCHL model, I can see that the competencies that I use today are connected to the new competencies identified in the field of healthcare management, as it has surfaced recently.

Not only is the 30-day readmission project to which I will be assigned attempting to rectify a behemoth of a problem in the profession alone, but I also have a personal interest in making something out of a change in the patients (as well as the healthcare facilities). The second way my learning in this course would be transferred to a larger, healthier world would be as a transformational leader; I would apply evidence-based knowledge to motivate the various stakeholders to a more improved world.
