Summary Report: Health Care Information Review
Write an executive summary (1–2 pages) for senior leaders that highlights key information about the proposed health care information review of the quality of care given to a specific population. Detail the proposed implementation steps and associated time frames in a Gantt chart (one-page chart).
Introduction
As the office manager of your physician group, you realize that obtaining funding for your proposal will require the approval of the physician group's senior leaders. You and the others helping you implement the proposal will need the details your proposal contains. From experience, however, you have learned the senior leaders will not take the time to review all the details. For them to approve your proposal, they simply want the highlights of what you plan to do, a brief explanation of how it will identify the quality of patient care, and the amount of time it will take to complete the study. In this final assessment, you will prepare a summary report for the senior leaders of your physician group. Your summary report is an abbreviated version of your proposal.
• State your proposal's big idea in the Overview.
• Explain the information you plan to collect and the reasons why it is important to collect it.
• Describe how this information could validate the quality of care delivered by your facility.
Note: Your Overview needs to be shorter than the Introduction from your proposal. Remember: the entire narrative portion of your Summary Report needs to be less than two pages. You will have an additional page for your Gantt chart
