There are a lot of organizations that are out there to help get our healthcare to where it should be when it comes to quality. Reporting the data for healthcare organizations is a big thing for consumers to be able to view to make sure that where they plan to go has good ratings and are up to par for the quality they wish to receive. The National Committee for Quality Assurance is one of the oldest and well known organizations that does public reporting and also provide quality performance measures. Others who are also on this list of organizations that report data are places like the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Quality Forum (NQF) who promotes what the standard quality should be in a facility. The NQF also provides the quality performance measures along with organizations such as the American Medical Association (AMA), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), The Joint Commission (TJC) and Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC). Among these organizations there are some as already mentioned that also provide a service to help meet quality performance improvements. Some of the other organizations on this list include the American Medical Association's Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement (PCPI) and the Agency for Healthcare and Research Quality (AHRQ). These organizations help get facilities to the expectations and performance they are in need of reaching and maintaining for the benefit of patients.

Reporting strategies often target audiences like the general public, whose behavior is not readily changed by the information in reporting, When it comes to effectively targeting groups that can actually use the data to achieve significant impact, one stands out from the rest. We notice that health system manager and providers who interpret and apply performance data to improve the quality of care of their organization level.Evidence behind performance reporting was recently summarized in a special subsidiaries, produced by Canadian Health Services Research Foundation to showcase healthcare issues research indicated as a preferred course of action.

When it comes to using results to make improvements, process of care indicators are often more useful then outcome indicators. Reporting agencies can adopt and adapt the best practice from top performers, while working with low performers to improve care. Like Cancer Care, which feeds data on a wait time back to organization all across the providence. (Wallace et. al 2007). This will help make quality improvement performance care. Making sure reporting organization consult with stakeholders to ensure report U.S. studies are looking at reporting stimulates quality improvement activities have found to be effective, reporting is more than about accountability.

Performance leads to quality improvement and improvement in healthcare services and their outcome, and the delivery of care that are directed at people at the organizational level.

Mr. D. is 47 years old and was diagnosed with colon cancer 2 years ago. He had not gone to the doctor until he was in severe pain. Mr. D. does not like doctors or hospitals. When diagnosed he decided to have surgery even though he did not want it. He did it only because he thought it would ease his pain. He refused the radiation and chemotherapy that his doctor thought was needed after surgery. His wife was very upset because she knew that if he had the follow up treatment his chances of survival would improve. She is a breast cancer survivor of 8 years. Mr. D.'s cancer has now spread to his pancreas and his pain has returned. It is so severe that he is not able to work any longer as a landscaper for the city. He loved his job and misses not having the life he was used to. The doctor believes that chemotherapy might still be of some value to extend his life as Mr. D. refuses further surgery. They have three children with two living at home. One child is 10 years old and the other is 14. The 10 year old has asthma and lately he has been having many more acute attacks. The 14 year old has been acting out and Mrs. D. thinks she is taking drugs. Mrs. D. works only part-time as a secretary and would rather not have to work full-time. Mr. D.'s insurance has been covering the family's medical expenses. You have been asked to case manage this client and his family.
In this Laboratory assignment you will be focusing on the following:  

1. Case management – Develop an initial assessment as the first step to a case management plan. What issues will need to be considered to manage this case? Focus on what resources he might need now that he is not working. Consider what other health care personnel will be important resources. How will his medical expenses be paid?
2. Transitional Care – What type of transitional care might be needed? Will he need to go back to the hospital? What other healthcare facilities might be helpful?
3. Palliative Care – What approach should be taken to manage his pain? What types of pain management methods might work? In what ways can Mr. D. achieve "quality of life"?
4. Therapeutic Communication – Focus on engagement. What are his concerns and worries?
5. Family Support – What support and resources can you provide this family? What role can the wife play that will be helpful. What resources and care might be provided for the children?

Case study

Instructions

For this assignment, you will first review the following case study:

A textile manufacturer is closing its North Carolina plant and moving the production of its products to a developing nation in Southeast Asia. The primary reason for the move is because the lower labor cost will allow the organization to benefit from the new location.
Proponents of the decision laud the move as a means to save the organization by taking advantage of the free market and finding cheaper methods of producing the company's goods.
Opponents of the decision state that a trust existed between the company and the employees and that a breach of trust will occur due to this decision. Additionally, opponents cite recent findings that contractors in the Southeast Asia region, where the company is moving, have been cited for utilizing child labor and failing to provide working conditions equivalent to those in the United States.
Officials in the Southeast Asia region have answered the criticisms of the use of child labor by pointing out that oftentimes children are the only individuals in a family who are capable of working, and to deny them that opportunity would create even greater hardships on the already desperately poor population.

Next, review the article by Peslak (2005), and reflect on what you have learned about deontological (actions focused) and teleological (consequences focused) frameworks.
