HS410M3-3: Compare the roles of governmental and nonprofit agencies in accreditation and licensure of healthcare organizations and professionals.
Introduction:
As a future manager or health care leader, one of your roles will be facility management, ensuring accreditation standards are met and managing staff members, ensuring that proper credentialing is held by physicians, etc. The goal of this assignment is to assess your understanding of various accreditations, licensures, and provider report cards.
DIrections:
You are serving as an executive board member for government health programs. The board has received congressional approval to stand up a new nonprofit medical center in your community. The medical center will offer inpatient and outpatient services, such as emergency care, pediatric care, intensive critical care, and other similar services. Your boss sends you an email asking for publicly available information that is necessary for attaining and sustaining the new medical center. Your boss wants to know about accrediting agencies and licensures that exist for various types of public and private healthcare institutions (hospitals, managed care plans, long-term care facilities, etc.). Once the center is up and running, your boss believes it will be important to maintain quality standards for the organization and its providers. Therefore, be sure to include research regarding provider report cards in your email.
Reply to your boss with a two-page business email that gives an overview of the impact of accreditation and report cards on your healthcare organization. Describe the types of accrediting agencies and provider report cards that currently exist and applicable to the upcoming medical center. Research the various types of licenses required for future employees (physicians, nurses, medical techs, etc.). Be sure to include summaries/hot links of at least two accreditation agencies so that your boss can readily follow up on this information if she so chooses. In addition, include at least two provider report cards links with at least one local/regional report card.
Respond to the questions in a thorough manner, providing specific examples of concepts, topics, definitions, and other elements asked for in the questions. Your submission should be highly organized, logical, and focused.
