You will then write an APA formatted paper (minimum 1,500 words) that features a review of the article, an analysis and expansion of the topic as it connects to our course, and a discussion of future considerations related to this topic with regards to impact on healthcare quality and outcome measurements. You will utilize resources from the course lessons along with a minimum of three outside resources, two of which must come from scholarly, peer reviewed journals.

For this assignment, please select one of the following three case studies:

• Quality of Life Before and After Intensive Care

• Overview of Risk Adjustment and Outcome Measures for Home Health Agency OBQI Reports: Highlights of Current Approaches and Outline of Planned Enhancements

3. Connection of Case Study to Healthcare Quality and Outcomes - Why does this case study lead you to a discussion of the importance of healthcare quality and outcomes for consumers/patients/clients, providers, organizations, and society in general? How can you connect the 'lessons learned' in the case study to what you have learned about quality and outcome measurements? What outcome tools/techniques/methods/models were referenced in your course, research and/or the case study? The connections should be clear, understandable and relevant. This is your opportunity to showcase your learning!

4. Future Considerations - In this section you will utilize your analytical skills to discuss how the previous information connects with future considerations for individuals working in the field of healthcare. We have established that quality and outcomes are going to be vital to any area of healthcare.

What short-term and long-term implications do you foresee based on your case study and research? Do you see changes in how the field defines quality? Do you predict changes in funding, treatment, prevention efforts, research, etc. based on this case study and your supporting research?

5. Conclusion - Summarize your information in a clear, concise conclusion. This is your opportunity to bring home any last points and ensure that you have presented a solid review and analysis.
