INTERMOUNTAIN HEALTHCARE: PATIENT SAFETY AND WORKPLACE STRESS

Utilizing evidence-based literature and quality standards, propose an initiative that addresses your problem selected in Milestone One. If you chose a problem in your workplace, be sure to utilize data from that healthcare organization; if you created a hypothetical healthcare organization, you may use a public domain database with instructor permission. You will also implement your performance improvement initiative and discuss what success of the performance improvement plan will look like after implementation. As this is a scholarly initiative, this assignment must adhere to all APA requirements and formatting, and include peer-reviewed and evidence-based sources to support any and all claims. As you develop this final part of the assignment, consider the following prompts to formulate your paper.   

III. Performance Improvement Initiative A. Propose an initiative that will address this problem within the department of your chosen healthcare organization. What specific relevant quality standard will this quality initiative address? B. Discuss the data determinants of success, as related to this initiative. In other words, what type of data will be indicative of a quality outcome? 

IV. Implementation of the Plan in the Organization A. What interdepartmental communication channels will be used for plan implementation? B. What manner of data interpretation will be used to communicate the findings within the organization? C. If this initiative was implemented, what do you believe would be the hypothetical effect(s) on patient care outcomes? How will health information systems support those improvements in patient care? D. What do you think the hypothetical effect of the quality or performance initiative will be on the culture of safety within the organization?  Guidelines for Submission: This paper should be two to five pages in length, not including the cover page or reference page. Use APA format for the reference list and all internal citations.

Why is academic integrity important?

This course’s syllabus states: “In an effort to foster a spirit of honesty and integrity during the learning process, Argosy University requires that the submission of all course assignments represent the original work produced by that student. All sources must be documented through normal scholarly references/citations and all work must be submitted using the current edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.” 

Why is source documentation and plagiarism such an important topic in academics? Is avoiding plagiarism and citing sources correctly just as important in the professional world? What are the penalties for academic dishonesty and are these penalties appropriate?

Research for articles regarding plagiarism, academic dishonesty, and academic cheating, etc.

Then, do the following:

• Identify one article regarding academic integrity. 
• Summarize the contents and the merits of the article you find.
• Include the properly written reference for the article you selected. 

Write your initial response in about 100–200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Quote or paraphrase at least two outside sources in your answer.
