NR506NP CCN Healthcare Policy and leadership Question

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to have students research the
measurement tools of NP performance. Through the use of quality patient
outcomes, students will list and discuss three different patient
interventions and how they would specifically measure the outcomes, and
how these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes
and cost savings for the practice. In addition, students will discuss
how these interventions result in improved patient ratings.

Preparing the Assignment

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) was formed to
ensure the quality of patient care and measurement of patient outcomes
with set standards.

Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a
performance measurement tool used by millions of health insurance plans.
There are 6 domains of care:

• Effectiveness of Care
• Access/Availability of Care
• Experience of Care
• Utilization and Risk Adjusted Utilization
• Health Plan Descriptive Information
• Measures Collected Using Electronic Clinical Data Systems

You may access the 6 domains of care by clicking this link:

As an APN, productivity will be an important measurement for the
practice to determine reimbursement and salary. Fee-for-service
practices will require a set number of patients per day to maintain
productivity. A capitated practice will require the APN to have a large
panel of patients but also will focus on controlling costs. This can be
accomplished through effective primary care that is accessible,
convenient for the patients, and has a method of measuring the quality
of care.

Write a formal paper in APA format with a title page, introduction,
the three required elements below, conclusion, and reference page.

You are now employed as an NP in primary care. Choose one performance measure from one of the six domains of care, i.e. Adult BMI Assessment, Prenatal, and Postpartum care, etc.

Develop three different patient interventions for that one
performance measure and how you would specifically implement the
intervention and measure the outcomes for that particular performance
measure in clinical practice.

How would these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and healthcare cost savings?

How can these interventions result in improved NP patient ratings?
