Assignment 1: Discussion Assignment

 

The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.

 

For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by Monday, April 11th, 2016.

 

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

 

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings.

Multiple Performance Measurement Standards

 

Read the following article:

 

Safavi, K. S. (2006). The measurement conundrum. Journal of Healthcare

           Management, 51(5), 287–290.

 

In the article, Safavi (2006, p. 290) asks: “Is the goal to establish relative rank or absolute levels of performance?” Safavi also states that the basic dilemma in selecting a measurement system is whether “to judge performance from the outside or to improve performance from the inside” (p. 287).

 

Discuss the following from the perspective of a provider:

 

(1) Assuming the measurement system is intended to judge the performance from outside, evaluate the use of a standard based on relative rank and absolute levels of performance. Which one would you use? Why or why not?

(2) Assuming the measurement system is intended to judge the performance from inside, evaluate the use of a standard based on relative rank and absolute levels of performance. Which one would you use? Why or why not?

(3) How will different circumstances impact performance measurement when it is based on relative rank and absolute levels? Support with examples.

Justify your responses using examples.
