Nursing-Case Study

You are the newly appointed director of quality management at a medium-sized MCO that was originally a group model but now have about half of its members cared for by physicians in a network model arrangement. NCQA has recently adopted and promulgated a new set of measures for quality of care of diabetics and you know that the results will be publicized, with customers encouraged to use them to choose plans. Much of the information needed is available in your administrative data a set, which includes frequency of visits, laboratory tests, etc. You note with both interest and concern that the performance of the network physicians is nowhere near as good as that of the large group practice that is the out-growth of your old staff model arrangements. You are also very aware that patients must be active partners if your plan is going to do well on these measures, since so many of the events are ones in which patients must choose to receive care.
1. What steps would you take to improve quality in this area?
2. Should you use financial incentives or other means with the doctors?
3. What will you do with respect to patients known to be diabetic?
4. Is there any use you could make of the difference in baseline performance between the two sets of doctors?

Identify a good or service that you are familiar with and have utilized. It could be related to your work or perhaps a product that you are familiar with from home use. Research the current state of international trade for that product. Propose an additional country for international expansion. Present your recommendations with a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation should include the items listed below.

• Compose a graph or pie chart that illustrates the current and recent historical status of trade between the domestic country and the country identified for international expansion. This should be an original graph, not one that is found and copied/pasted.
• Explain the sources of comparative advantage for the domestic production versus the country identified for international expansion.
• Compare the gains from specialization versus the potential for increasing opportunity costs when expanding production to serve the new country.

Your PowerPoint presentation must be at least 10 slides in length, not counting the title and reference slides, and it must include either an audio recording for each slide or speaker notes that detail the information located on each slide. You must use at least three academic resources in your presentation. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.
