Walden DDHA 8900: Implementation of Root Cause Analysis
Permalink: https://nursingpapermills.com/walden-ddha-8900…t-cause-analysis/
As a current or future health care administration leader you may be involved in the determination of organizational mishaps that may be captured by implementing root cause analysis (RCA). As you have examined this week, RCA is a common tool that health care administration leaders might use to help effect organizational change for positive outcomes that foster quality and effective health care delivery in health services organizations.
For this Discussion, review the text chapter and the JAMA article in this week’s resources. Think about the implementation of RCA and reflect on what might be missing from RCA to make more effective and efficient. Think about what techniques might be implemented in health services organizations to implement RCA.
Post, an explanation of the implementation of RCA in an “ideal” organization. Describe what should be done to make RCA as useful as it can be, and explain why. Then, describe how your health services organization, or one with which you are familiar, uses RCA or another process for investigating mishaps. Be specific and provide examples.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
