Kaplan University Quality Benchmarks Integration Discussion

 

Focus particularly on areas that are relevant to your DNP project and your DNP practice site. Investigate and compare two national Quality l benchmarks (such as HEDIS measures) used as a scorecard in health care. Identify the variances of the benchmarks, and the population focus. In your opinion, how successful are these national benchmarks in improving and/or maintaining quality care? What role can the DNP-prepared nurse assume in developing quality benchmarks for health care and implementing these standards in the practice setting? My project topic is Using evidence-based practice in minimizing the risks of nurses’ exposure to infectious diseases in an outpatient setting and I narrowed it down to respiratory disease. My clinical site is in a primary care patient’s out clinic. 

In your paper you must:

  1. Evaluate practice patterns against national benchmarks to determine variances in clinical outcomes and population trends.
  2. Investigate and compare two national Quality I benchmarks that are used as a scorecard in health care, relevant to your DNP project and the DNP practice site.
  3. State your own conclusions based on your scholarly appraisal of the Quality I benchmarks.
  4. Provide specific examples that support your ideas.
