Cost Savings Analysis

• Overview; Prepare a spreadsheet of cost savings data showing efficiency gains attributable to care coordination over the course of one fiscal year, and report your key findings in an executive summary, 4–5 pages in length. Information plays a fundamental role in health care. Providers such as physicians and hospitals create and process information as they deliver care to patients. However, managing that information and using it productively poses an ongoing challenge, particularly in light of the complexity of the U.S. health care sector, with its many diverse settings for care and types of providers and services. Health information technology (HIT) has the potential to considerably increase the productivity of the health sector by assisting providers in managing information. Furthermore, HIT can improve the quality of health care and, ultimately, the outcomes of that care for patients.  
• The use of HIT has been upheld as having remarkable promise in improving the efficiency, quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety of medical care delivery in our nation’s health care system. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine how utilizing HIT can positively affect the financial health of an organization, improve patient health, and create better health outcomes. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:  
  • Competency 1: Apply care coordination models to improve the patient experience, promote population health, and reduce costs. 
    • Describe ways in which care coordination can generate cost savings.
  • Competency 2: Explain the relationship between care coordination and evidence-based data. 
    • Describe ways in which care coordination efforts can enhance the collection of evidence-based data and improve quality through the application of an emerging health care model.
  • Competency 3: Use health information technology to guide care coordination and organizational practice. 
    • Explain how care coordination can promote improved health consumerism and effect positive health outcomes.
  • Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards. 
    • Present cost savings data and information clearly and accurately.
    • Support main points, claims, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
  • Competency Map CHECK YOUR PROGRESSUse this online tool to track your performance and progress through your course.
  • APA Module.
  • Academic Honesty & APA Style and Formatting.
  • APA Style Paper Tutorial [DOCX].
  • Capella Resources  
  • ePortfolio.
  • Research Resources You may use other resources of your choice to prepare for this assessment; however, you will need to ensure that they are appropriate, credible, and valid. The MSN-FP6612: Emerging Health Care Models and Care Coordination Library Guide can help direct your research. The Supplemental Resources and Research Resources, both linked from the navigation menu in your courseroom, provide additional resources to help support you. As you review these resources, you may want to consider the following questions:  
  • What is the main focus of information gathering in health care?
  • How can care coordination efforts enhance the collection of evidence-based data and improve quality?
  • What governmental entities are leading care coordination practices?
  • What influence does data analysis have on the development and advancement of health care policy?

• Asssessment Instructions

• Preparation As the senior care coordinator in your organization, your manager has asked you to examine and report on how care coordination can generate cost savings, improve outcomes, enhance the collection of evidence-based data, and improve health care quality for the community. She would like you to compile cost savings data in a well-organized spreadsheet and present your key findings in an executive summary. Note:Remember that you can submit all or a portion of your draft spreadsheet and executive summary to Smarthinking for feedback before you submit the final version of this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback. Requirements Determine how care coordination can reduce costs. Compile your cost savings data in a spreadsheet, using Microsoft Excel or a suitable application of your choice. (If you elect to use an application other than Excel, check with faculty to avoid potential file compatibility issues.) Your spreadsheet should containat least fourcost-saving elements. Identify the cost-saving element, current costs, and anticipated savings. Then create an executive summary using theAPA Style Paper Template [DOCX]. Discuss your cost-saving elements and report key findings from your analysis. Analyzing Cost Savings The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your analysis addresses each point, at a minimum. You may also want to read the Cost Savings Analysis Scoring Guide to better understand how each criterion will be assessed.  
  • Describe ways in which care coordination can generate cost savings.
    • What are your primary evidence-based sources of information?
    • Are your conclusions substantiated by the data?
    • What assumptions, if any, underlie your analysis?
  • Explain how care coordination can promote improved health consumerism and effect positive health outcomes.
    • What evidence do you have to substantiate your claims?
  • Describe at least five ways in which care coordination efforts can enhance the collection of evidence-based data and improve quality through the application of an emerging health care model. 
    • Choose any emerging health care model.
  • Present cost savings data and information clearly and accurately.
  • Support main points, claims, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
  • Additional Requirements Executive Summary Format and Length Format your executive summary using APA style:  
  • Use theAPA Style Paper Template [DOCX]provided. Be sure to include:
    • A title page and references page. An abstract is not required.
    • A running head on all pages.
    • Appropriate section headings.
  • See also theAPA Style Paper Tutorial [DOCX]to help you in writing and formatting your executive summary.

Sgt. Eddie Johns leaned back against the chair in the outpatient orthopedic clinic. His head was killing him! He wasn’t sure which was worse, the “morning after” headache or not being able to sleep at night. At least when he had a few beers under his belt so he could catch a few hours of sleep. It had been like this since he was air evacuated back stateside from Afghanistan after the roadside bomb went off. He was thankful that he had only broken his leg in a couple of places and gotten a bad bump on the head. They called that traumatic brain injury but he didn’t know what that was and really didn’t believe them anyway. He was still thinking just fine. His friend Joe wasn’t so lucky! How was Joe going to learn to walk on those artificial legs? He was still in the hospital in Washington, DC. That was pretty far from his home. Eddie wished he could visit Joe. They had been in the same platoon for 9 months. But, Eddie was glad that he had been able to come back to his own home town for outpatient treatment. It took an hour to get here but at least he could see his girl almost every day. Sure he had moved back in with his mom but it was easier to have someone to help him get around and cook for him. It was a bummer that he couldn’t work right now. He guessed it didn’t matter much since he really didn’t have a job to go back to. He had been replaced at the plant. They said they would find something for him to do once he could get around more easily. Eddie sure hoped the doc would take the pins out of his leg today and give him a clearance to work.

• How would the use of the Roy Adaptation Model assist the nurse in planning the continuation of care for Sgt. Johns?
• Describe the influence of Roy’s Theory in guiding the nurse’s actions in promoting Sgt. Johns adjusted self-concept.
• From the perspective of the Roy Adaptation Model, why is it important for the nurse to listen to Sgt. Johns’ “story” in his own words and not just base her interactions on information from the chart, fellow colleagues, or his family?
• Based on Neuman System’s Model, identify at least 4 stressors from the case study. Create a plan of care based on Neuman Systems Model for Sgt. Johns.
