Organizational Outcomes: CMA Findings Unit policy/Hospital Metric; State & National Bench markings

Purpose:  

• To identify the state and national benchmarks that strongly relate to the “outcome” you are seeking in your quality improvement project
• To create a “cause-and-effect” diagram relative to the “problem/patient/population” (P) in the clinical question
• To identify WHAT current policy exists that relates to or impacts your CMA findings.
• To identify the resources that must be managed/utilized to resolve a clinical problem
  • Remember your resources include personnel, stakeholders, materials, time, talent, intellect, and money.
