Highly Reliable Organization Matrix

Highly Reliable Organization Matrix
Assignment: High Reliability in Health Care – Long-Term Care
These three steps: commitment by leadership, development of a culture of safety, and the use of process improvement tools, are the core recommendations made by Dr. Chassin, the president of The Joint Commission and the president of the Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare. A first step in identifying whether these recommendations are being met is to compare elements of an organization to criteria which have been identified as essential to high-reliability organizations
To prepare for this Assignment:
Consider the three steps described by Dr. Chassin and the seven major criteria of the Baldridge Performance Excellence Program, and reflect on how these recommendations can apply to health care organizations, specifically to long-term care facilities.
The Assignment:
In this Assignment you will identify major elements of high-reliability organizations providing long-term care. According to the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (MBNQA), the criteria are as follows:
• Leadership
• Strategic planning
• Customer and market focus
• Measurement, analysis, and knowledge management
• Human resource focus
• Process management
• Business/organizational performance results
Using the Highly Reliable Organization Matrix located in this week’s Learning Resources, complete the matrix by typing in the elements which meet the criteria in rows and columns. Describe each element briefly, give an example as to how this can be met in a long-term care facility, and explain the expected impact on patient care.
Based on the results of the Highly Reliable Organization Matrix, write a 1- to 2-page executive summary to the board of directors of the long-term care organization, describing elements which meet the criteria from the matrix and how any missing elements of the criteria for excellence can be met.

Storytelling Using Song Lyric

Storytelling Using Song Lyric
As a consumer of music, we often construct our own stories to accompany our favorite songs. An old song, for instance, can conjure up long forgotten memories from our childhood, take you back to a magical moment that you experienced on your first date, make you shed a tear or laugh out loud.

For this assignment, you will use images to tell one of the stories that comes to mind when you hear a favorite song(s). Use Storify, Tumblr (Links to an external site.), a video (Links to an external site.) (export a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation as a video with the song as background music), or a basic webpage (Links to an external site.) to tell a story that merges the lyrics from one song with a sequence of 10 still images and/or animated gifs. Sources of content may include your photos of friends and family members, your drawings or word art, archival images, memes, tweets, infographics, maps, etc. You may choose to use tools to add filters, quotes, and text that improve the story telling capabilities. You are free to –and encouraged to– be creative and exploratory in your storytelling.

To insert images into Storify, you will need to follow these steps:

Upload the image from your computer to any common image sharing service (e.g. imgur.com (Links to an external site.)) or find an image online
copy/paste the image’s URL into the “Embed URL” tool seen in Storify’s story editor (the panel on the right side of the screen) while creating your story.
the image should then load in the story on the left side of the screen
To insert content from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or other social media sites, just use the appropriate icon in Storify’s story editor.

The goal is to curate your images and present them with the lyrics in an aesthetically pleasing way. The images should help the reader to elucidate or make sense of the poem you have chosen. The images may comment directly on the line of lyric, or offer a representation of a figure, place, image, or theme within that line, or they may have a more oblique relationship to the line in question. However, you must be able to demonstrate the relevance of each component to our understanding of the lyric.

Submission:
Deliver a story that allows viewers to browse or scroll through the images at their own pace. The story should be visually appealing and tell a coherent story that can be consumed in 2-3 minutes. You do NOT need to cite your personal photos.
