NSG 5003 Assignment 2 Six Year Old Patient with Asthma

PART 1:

After reviewing this week’s resources, you will conduct a SWOT analysis of your proposed community health/nonprofit hospital partnership. Refer to your Week 2 critique as you prepare your SWOT analysis, taking into consideration the benefits of your hospital being a partner in community health. Using the template example shown in this week’s resources, recreate it in Word using Tables. NSG 5003 Assignment 2 Six Year Old Patient with Asthma

Your report should include an introductory section on the assignment, your discussion of the value of conducting a SWOT analysis, your SWOT findings and your summary which includes your justifications to proceed with forming the partnership. Be sure as part of your analysis that you have identified at least three areas in which your partnership will benefit the community, i.e., reduce unnecessary emergency room visits and reduce the rate of readmissions within 30 days of discharge.

Each cell in your SWOT analysis table should include five to seven key items in bullet form. Embed your SWOT analysis table into your assignment.

PART 2: 

In your first assignment this week, you identified the strengths, weaknesses (areas for improvement), opportunities, and threats of forming a community health/nonprofit hospital partnership. For this assignment, you are provided with this scenario:

Your SWOT analysis of the community health partnership identified three areas in which your partnership will benefit the community to reduce unnecessary emergency room visits and reduce the rate of readmissions within 30 days of discharge. Healthcare navigators provide guidance at the time of discharge to assure patients have the psychosocial supports needed for their recuperation. Medical interpreters assure language is not a barrier to patients whose primary language is not English, also known as limited English proficiency (LEP). A recent mandate issued by the Department of Health and Human Services requires health organizations to provide interpreter services for patients with LEP.

These three areas will become your goals for your strategic action plan. These goals are:

Increase the number of full-time healthcare navigators to augment existing staff.

Recruit and hire medical interpreters, as the hospital currently outsources this service.

Recruit and hire additional community health nurses to provide health education and conduct preventative care assessments.

In addition to the human resources needed, physical resources are needed to accomplish your goals (e.g., allocated examination rooms and equipment, consultation rooms with furnishings). During your walk-through of your facility with your leadership team and your director of facilities, vacant space was identified that the former physical therapy department used before their new department was built. Space has existing HVAC (heat, ventilation, air conditioning), plumbing, and electrical sources; and this space can be turned into a joint-use space with the community health department in this partnership.

It is anticipated you will need to build:

Three 144-square-foot exam rooms,

Three 150-square-foot consultation rooms,

One 110-square-foot office for the project director (yet to be identified to oversee this project)

One 700-square-foot reception area in this vacant space

1. Your facilities director provided the current cost of constructing the rooms and tying in electrical, HVAC, and plumbing at $55 per square foot. Consider the total cost in your strategic action plan under Resources Needed. 
2. Your hospital’s fiscal year (FY) begins in July of each year (i.e., FY 2020 would run from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021) and you will consider completing this construction project and hiring staff within one fiscal year. You have named your project A Partnership for a Healthier Community. NSG 5003 Assignment 2 Six Year Old Patient with Asthma
3. The Strategic Action Planning template, in this week’s resources, represents a sample one-page plan which you will communicate organization-wide. Each of the three goals will be listed on their own template, one action plan to increase the number of full-time healthcare navigators to augment existing staff, a second action plan to recruit and hire medical interpreters as the hospital currently outsources this service, and a third action plan to recruit and hire community health nurses to provide health education and conduct preventative care assessments.
