HCS 475 LECTURE NOTES MONITORING IMPROVEMENTS

It is important to monitor improvements to determine if your implemented change is effective or not. As

you are monitoring you can always make minor changes during the process. It will benefit everyone as a

whole to keep track of how successful the new implementation is, rather that is a new technically piece of

equipment or if it is just a change in process. Sometimes the implementation does not go as planned. If

this occur it is good to have details of what went wrong and how did it happens. With those details it can

allow you to go back to the drawing board and perhaps correct problems you made. You can also change

the process or procedure in all. As a manager you must know that all the policies and procedures that

wish to be implemented may not work for your desired group. However, having another plan in place is

smart if the first plan do not work. It is an old saying that was turned into a song years back by the late

Aaliah that said At first you don't succeed brush yourself off and try again. That saying goes hand and

hand with implementing new processes and procedures. Keep trying until you find something that will

work overall for everybody. The quality improvements must be implemented and monitored to be able to

continue to educate and provide feed back as well to those individuals that uses the new implementation.

Reviewing the goals progress after implementation reinforces success for a plan or objective with

systematic tracking, recording, and evaluating. Analyze the results of where changes may be required to

your policy provisions and plans efficiency and effectiveness will determine the need for further actions,

possible changes, and improvements in policy statements and plans, or actions taken to implement once

actions have been initiated, it has to be supervised and monitored to ensure that the plan is followed

accurately, implementing corrective action when necessary.

The details of this stage are specified in the plan of action. Planning and preparation is the key to

successful implementation. The more important the problem, or the more complex the actions required to

solve it, the more thorough your planning and preparation needs to be to ensure success. Monitoring

progress enables you to identify whether or not the results being achieved are meeting the planned

requirements, and if not, why not. A decision can then be made on the action required to put the plan back

on course. Reviewing the overall achievement once the plan has progressed significantly will indicate

how well it is achieving the objective. If there are major discrepancies it suggests that the plan is

inadequate and needs to be revised. As well as, reduce missed opportunities and informs decision-makers

effectiveness the implemented plan. Analyze the results of where changes may be required to your policy

provisions and plans because of the results of your monitoring (Minnesota Department of Health, 2013).

It will be difficult to know how effective a process is working without any type of monitoring.

Performance improvement and outcome monitoring are a requirement in the deliver of health care.

Monitoring provide an excellent and efficient mechanism for improving the new process , productivity

and care. One would need to consistently monitor and control the process to retain efficiency and make

sure the process doesn't regress to its pre-improvement state. After the process improvement is under way,

the new process need to be define and measures are built with triggers that will alert the person in charge

if the performance is under performing.

It's important to spot check the out because when there is an update or when the process is improved

upon, there may be a need to retrain the team members. With retraining everyone is on the same page and

there may be a need to update the process for training on the recent change and not on the change from

the outdated process improvement. Since the new process will take time to adjust for the first time, you

will need the tool and the insight to make adjustment until the process is working well and you are getting

the outcome you need (Dillard, n.d.).
