1) Identify a systemic problem(hand hygiene)in a hospital setting related to adverse quality and safety outcomes, and identify knowledge gaps,unknowns,missing information,unanswered questions, or areas of uncertainty. Analyze quality and safety outcomes from an administrative and systemic perspective.
2) Propose specific practice changes within a hospital that will improve quality and safety outcomes and bridge the gap between current and desired performance, and identify assumptions on which the proposal is based. Analyze quality and safety outcomes from an administrative and systems perspective.
3) Prioritize proposed practice changes, and provide sound rationale for the prioritization.
4) Determine how proposed particular changes foster a culture of quality safety and propose criteria could be used to evaluate that culture. Determine how outcome measures promote quality and safety processes within an organization.
5) Determine how a particular hospital culture or hierarchy might affect or contribute to adverse quality safety outcomes, and identify assumptions on which that analysis is based. Determine how specific hospital functions,policies, processes, procedures, norms, and behaviors can be used to build reliable and high performing hospital organizations.
6) Justify necessary changes to a particular hospitals functions, processes, and behaviors that correct or mitigate adverse quality and safety outcomes, and identify knowledge gaps, unknowns, missing info, unanswered questions, or areas of uncertainty.
