    UC Irvine Health Case Study Essay

    Length of stay was not the only process that was made more effective with the implementation of the PSH model at UC Irvine Health. Another aspect that was positively affected by the PSH model was turnover time of a procedure. According to UC Irvine Health ninety two percent of procedures start at 7:30 in the morning. With the implementation of the PSH model the turnover time averaged about 29 minutes. This was a 31 percent improvement from before the PSH model was implemented. For those worried about the performance of a surgeon because the turnover time improved, it went unaffected. According to UC Irvine Health, the 166 cases researched that all 166 cases had 100.00 performance rates. Because the performance of the surgeons was so high in less amount of time, this lowered the readmission rate for the same health issue. UC Irvine found that the readmission rate for hip arthroplasties is zero percent. The national average for readmission for a knee arthroplasty is between 2.5 percent and 4.3 percent compared to UC Irvine Health readmission rate which is 1.1 percent…

The startup of a mobile health screening unit from a collaboration with United Health Care, and efforts in place to provide a central location (on-stop approach) for families to receive services. Efforts to expand nationally or internationally have not been approached at this time. Bienvenidos faced with the adjustments from possibly sun setting two or more programs that will affect staffing, revenue, and facilities. Currently, Bienvenidos employ about 110 staff members with a governing board of 18 members for three divisions (Foster Care, Mental Health, and Community Services) and 15 board members for the medical services division. Bienvenidos have a generalized leadership structure where the Administration or Executive Team controls the divisions in regional locations that use the brand name of the organization (Smith, 2007).

    Finding Fish

    The book, finding fish, is a poignant autobiography of the life of Antwone Quenton Fisher, an African American boy who suffered a tumultuous childhood in a foster care setting. He was born on 8-3-1959 in a Cleveland prison to Eva Mae Fisher. She was incarcerated for the shooting death of his father, her boyfriend at the time, Eddie Elkins. Initially, he spent his first few weeks of his life in a Cleveland orphanage. Then he was fostered by a wonderful woman named Mrs. Nellie Strange. She lovingly cared for him for two years. One 10-11-1961 he was placed in the foster home of the Reverend and Mrs. Pickett, an African American couple who came from southern black heritage. Mr. Pickett was a kind man with a doctorate in medicine and his wife, the abuser, was the matriarch of the family. For the next eighteen years of Antwone’s life, he would suffer terrible physical, verbal and emotional abuse in this home, even though he would have a total of thirteen social workers “monitoring” his case. In the Pickett’s home, Antwone had three foster siblings; Flo, Dwight and Keith. Antwone suffers so much chronic abuse that he never feels confident enough to tell any of his social workers about his abuse. He is even sexually abused by Willenda, a babysitter who cares for the children at times. Antwone is finally kicked out of the home around his sixteenth birthday and he finds himself at George Junior Republic, a reform school for boys. Even though he isn’t a trouble maker, he loves being there because he finds teachers who really mentor him. While he lives there, he is able to take tests and graduate early from high school. Unfortunately now he has “graduated’ from the foster care system since he is eighteen and he is forced to become homeless and sell drugs for money. The best thing that ever happens to him is when he enrolls in the United States Navy. While serving an eleven year term, he develops…

    Care Improvement Case Studies

    Hi Jeanne, thank you for the thorough and thought-provoking discussion on recommendations for care improvements. I thought your idea to directly ask the caller about their chief complaint was an excellent one. In my experience as a transplant case manager, I found members would express their complaints clearly if a rapport of trust was established early in the call. However, you are correct in that our “elevator pitch” did not question chief complaints. Instead, every value driver was to be address in sixty minutes or less if metrics were to be reached. Thanks again for your discussion of our lack of an enterprise-wide policy related to chief…

    Good Lives Model Case Study

    In their 2016 article, Barnao, Ward, and Casey provide a thematically-linked multiple-case study analysis of the Good Lives Model, as applied with a forensic population with mental illness. In order to provide a client perspective on the GLM, five participants with mental illness participated in a 15-week GLM program in a medium security forensic unit. Interviews with the participants were conducted prior to commencement and after completion of the program. Results showed that two of participants experienced definite change, two participants showed subtle change, and one participant displayed no change after the study. After analysis of the pre- and post-program interviews, it was determined that the participants who showed subtle or no change received less contact with the GLM staff and received assistance which did…
