Which of the following is a true statement about business process reengineering?
a. It is intended to make small incremental changes to improve a process.
b. It seeks to reevaluate and redesign organizational processes to make dramatic performance
improvements.
c. It implies making few changes to achieve significant improvements in cost, quality, service, and speed.
d. Its main focus is to reduce services. - B
In reengineering, the entire manner and purpose of a work process is questioned. The goal is to achieve
the desired process outcome in the most effective and efficient manner possible. The results expected
from reengineering efforts include increased productivity, decreased costs, improved quality, maximized
revenue, and more satisfied customers. However, it should be clearly understood that the main focus is
on reducing costs (Oachs 2020, 791).
Monitoring incidents of patients' falls can be used to measure effectiveness of hospital staff. This type of
indicator would be considered a(n):
a. Employee measure
b. Clinical measure
c. Human resource measure
d. Process measure - B
There must be at least two clinical measures and two human resources indicators for each patient
population, defined by internal performance improvement activities. At a minimum, the organization
identifies no fewer than two inpatient care areas for which staffing effectiveness data are collected.
Identified performance measures relate to processes appropriate to the care and services provided and
to problem-prone areas experienced in the past (for example, infection rates or incidences of patient
falls). The rationale for indicator selection is based on relevance and sensitivity to each patient area
where staffing is planned (Shaw and Carter 2019, 273).
The incidence of postoperative wound infections occurring in ORIF procedures in which antibiotics were
and were not utilized is an example of which type of performance measure?
,a. Data measure
b. Process measure
c. Outcome measure
d. System measure - C
Performance measurement in healthcare provides an indication of an organization's performance in
relation to a specified process or outcome. An outcome measure may be the effect of care, treatment,
or services on a customer (Shaw and Carter 2019, 41).
An implementation plan is developed to ensure successful execution and includes:
a. Strategies, goals, and objectives
b. Vision, mission, and values
c. External and internal assessments
d. Timelines, resource needs, and vision - A
The implementation plan outlines each strategy and then details how to achieve the strategy using goals
and objectives (McClernon 2020, 933-934).
The time required to recoup the cost of an investment is called the:
a. Accounting rate of return
b. Budget cycle
c. Payback period
d. Depreciation - C
The payback period is the time required to recoup the cost of an investment. Mortgage refinancing
analysis frequently uses the concept of payback period. Mortgage refinancing is considered when
interest rates have dropped. Refinancing may require up-front interest payments and called points as
well as a variety of administrative costs. In this example, the payback period is the time it takes for the
savings in interest to equal the cost of the refinancing (Revoir 2020, 839).
,In preparation for the implementation of an electronic health record (EHR), Ruth spends most of her
training time in the EHR test system clicking through screens and developing workflows. Ruth is most
likely what type of sensory learner?
a. Auditory
b. Visual
c. Tactile
d. Kinesthetic - D
Kinesthetic learners favor a hands-on approach to learning so they can feel and manipulate the material.
This may involve clicking through computer screens rather than reading an instruction manual (Kelly and
Greenstone 2020, 209).
Community Hospital is reviewing its job descriptions and notices that some job descriptions for clinical
positions include a reference to the potential risks of exposure to blood-borne pathogens while others
do not. The human resource manager insists that all job descriptions should include this language. Why
is this important to include?
a. It is not important, and the human resource manager is overstepping his or her role.
b. Community Hospital needs to update job descriptions to meet HIPAA requirements.
c. Community Hospital needs to define the level of risk for infection from blood-borne pathogens for its
employees.
d. Facilities are required to report incidences of HIV. - C
Blood-borne pathogens, such as HIV and hepatitis B and C, are transported through contact with
infected body fluids such as blood, semen, and vomitus. Each facility should define the employee level of
risk for infection associated with their job classification and define the proper precautions needed to
prevent exposure. Most healthcare facilities require employee job descriptions to carry a definition of
blood-borne pathogen risk associated with the job task (Shaw and Carter 2019, 179).
If parties to a contract agree to hold each other harmless for each other's actions or inactions, this is
referred to as a(n):
a. Indemnification
b. Liability
c. Offer
d. Warranty - A
, The purpose of hold harmless or indemnification clauses is to either transfer or assume liability. For
example, the indemnitor (party assuming liability) may agree to hold the other party harmless against
claims arising from the indemnitor's own actions or failures to act. This means if actions (or inactions)
result in harm to the other party, the indemnitor will seek to make that party whole, often through
some sort of compensation (Klaver 2017b, 129-130).
One of the most common issues that healthcare organizations fail to do well in the strategic process is:
a. Develop a vision
b. Develop strategies
c. Execute the implementation plan
d. Communicate the plan - C
The strategic goals and objectives need to be clearly outlined, with assignments for who will be
accountable, timelines, allocation of resources, and measurements that will be used to ensure success
of implementation. When a detailed implementation includes the elements laid out clearly—with
timeframes and regular updates provided within the organization—the likelihood of strategic success
increases significantly (McClernon 2020, 934).
