IHP 604 Module Three Short Paper Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Dashboards are data visualiza�ons that healthcare organiza�ons use to measure and analyze data. The Joint Commission (E-di�on) sets standards for healthcare quality and safety. One set
of standards The Joint Commission created is the Na�onal Pa�ent Safety Goals (NPSG), which are designed for different facili�es and are cri�cal to maintain accredita�on. In this assignment,
you will explore the NPSG standards related to pa�ent iden�fica�on, which states facili�es will use at least two pa�ent iden�fiers before procedures.
This assignment will help prepare you for your course project through the analysis of data, dashboards, and industry standards.
Please note: The Joint Commission standards you have access to are the standards for acute care facili�es and not long-term care. In this assignment, the standards for pa�ent iden�fica�on
are the same for acute care and long-term care facili�es.
Prompt
Examine the dashboard for ABC Residen�al Center, which is a long-term care center. Analyze the facility metrics against the na�onal benchmarks and address the following areas. Provide at
least two scholarly sources to support your claims.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Insights from dashboards: Describe how the data in the dashboard could be used by ABC Residen�al Center to find insights related to their opera�ons or quality of care.
2. Dashboard techniques: Discuss what visualiza�on techniques (such as using charts and graphs; color coding the data red, yellow, and green; and combining mul�ple sets of data into
one graph) were used by the dashboard to provide a quick, visual way to understand the data presented, and if there are addi�onal techniques you would recommend for the
dashboard to use to make the data easier and quicker to understand.

3. Determining benchmarks: Determine a benchmark for pa�ent iden�fica�on for ABC (you should review the NPSG standards).
4. Defend selec�on: Provide a ra�onale for your selec�on of a benchmark.
If you chose a benchmark less than 100%, how would you defend that benchmark to the public?
5. Mee�ng the benchmark: Analyze the data in the dashboard to determine if ABC is mee�ng the benchmark.
6. Implica�ons: Discuss the implica�ons of not mee�ng the benchmark.
7. Jus�fy crea�ng a quality improvement ini�a�ve: Jus�fy the crea�on of a quality improvement ini�a�ve using the dashboard and NPSG standards if ABC is not mee�ng the benchmark
(you don’t need to create the quality improvement ini�a�ve, rather you need to jus�fy the need for one to meet the benchmark if it is not being met).
What to Submit
Submit this assignment as a 2-to 3-page Microso� Word document. You must also include an APA-style �tle page. Use 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch

IHP 604 Module Three Short Paper Graphic Text-Only Version
This image displays a dashboard for ABC Residential Center. It contains three bar graphs, one line graph, and one radar graph.
The first bar graph shows the national average of residential centers that used two patient identifiers by month as 94% for January, 95% for February, 93% for March, 94% for April, 93% for May, and 93% for June.
The second bar graph shows the percentage that ABC Residential Center used two patient identifiers by month as 88% for January, 95% for February, 89% for March, 92% for April, 88% for May, and 89% for June. The graphs for January, March, May, and June are colored red. The graph for April is colored yellow, and the graph for February is colored green.
The third bar graph shows the state average of residential centers that used two patient identifiers by month as 86% for January, 87% for February, 87% for March, 88% for April, 89% for May, and 87% for June. The line graph and radar graph display those three sets of data together in each graph.
