Assignment:
Determining the capacity for improvement in a specific area of health care operations can be challenging. Health care organizations (HCOs) often use national benchmarks as measuring sticks against which current performance can be measured. Depending on the area of operations, national benchmarks may not be available, and leaders may need to determine their targeted performance goals based on other factors.
Analyze the capacity for improvement for a specific organizational process in a health care organization (fictitious or actual HCO). Remember that 100% efficiency is rarely possible. Focus on the following:
- Analyze how the target performance goal was established and take into account current operational performance.
- Use benchmark data or historical performance data to determine your final capacity optimization goal.
- Include specific operational recommendations to achieve this goal, including expected outcomes.
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
