As you can see in the chart above, the United States had the highest
health care expenditure in the world; however, the health status of the
entire population has lagged behind numerous developed countries.
The Affordable Care Act is aimed at promoting quality of care along
with cost reduction, but health care organizations wrestle with
meeting all of the challenges.
Present a quality improvement and cost-saving project to your
classmates that you read about in a scholarly source and address the
following questions:
• What was the health care setting (hospital, clinic, nursing home,
etc.)?
• What were the problems/issues leading to the change project?
• Who were the stakeholders involved in the project?
• What was the timeframe involved in the project?
• What were the financial resources allocated to the project?
• What were the results on quality improvement?
• What was the evidence on cost saving?

• Leatt and colleagues (1997) recommended nine approaches for
successful cost cutting. Which approaches are demonstrated in your
case?

MHA 601 Week 3 Assignment Conflict
Resolution at St. Clare Hospital (2 Papers)

MHA 601 Week 3 Assignment Conflict Resolution at St. Clare
Hospital
The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the last few years,
revenues at St. Clare Hospital have dropped steadily to a point where
CEO James Edwards is considering cost control to improve the
organization’s bottom line. Mr. Edwards understands that physicians
play a critical role in controlling cost, but they do not have a great
interest in cooperating with him to sustain the viability of the hospital.
Mr. Edwards decides to hire Wendy Jones as the chief operating
officer and empowers her to cut costs for the hospital. The first
measure taken by Jones is to outsource the interpretation of imaging
readings and fire the radiologist, Dr. Harris. By doing so, the hospital
would save $160,000 per year. However, after two weeks, the hospital
sees 18% inaccuracy rates in their outsourced reading reports. The
hospital might face legal liabilities from inaccurate readings. Edwards
and Jones want to stay with the plan to control costs, but the
physicians are furious and the medical director, Dr. Wiseman, gathers
all staff physicians to a call for action.
In a four- to six-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages):
• Describe types of conflict identified in this case.
• Determine conflict management styles evidenced in this case.
• Propose conflict resolution strategy to be used.
• Recommend strategies to reduce cost and legal liabilities.
Your paper must be four to six double-spaced pages in length
(excluding the title page and references page), it must include an
introduction and conclusion paragraph, and it must be formatted
according to APA style as outlined in the Univ Writing Center. In
addition to the textbook, you must utilize a minimum of three
sources in APA style as outlined in the Univ Writing Center. Refer to
the APA Checklist for additional information.

MHA 601 Week 6 Final Paper Ashford General
Hospital Proposal (2 Papers)
MHA 601 Week 6 Final Paper Univ General Hospital Proposal
Focus of the Final Paper
Univ General Hospital is a 263-bed regional hospital located in
California that has served its community for more than 50 years. The
hospital maintains the only 24-hour emergency department in the area
as well as an "extended hours" urgent care clinic. Similar to other
hospitals in the United States, Univ General Hospital is encountering
a nursing shortage. Sixty-eight percent of the nursing staff is over the
age of 45, facing retirement. The retention rate on nurses is 61%,
compared to 65% nationwide. Many of the nursing staff find the work
too physically demanding and have a feeling of emotional burn out as
well. In the past two years, the hospital has used both per diem nurses
and traveling nurses who
sign short-term contracts to fill individual shifts and accommodate
short-term staffing needs arising from staff vacations or medical
leaves. This has driven up personnel costs, which has resulted in
lower scores on patient satisfaction surveys. Univ General Hospital
faces significant challenges in nurse staffing ahead as it grapples with
these issues, and the hospital board is very concerned. They know
changes must be made in order to prevent a major financial and

human resources crisis in the future. As the newly hired CEO, you are
asked to present a proposal in the next board meeting.
For your Final Paper, create a 10- to 15-page proposal (excluding title
and reference pages) for the Univ General Hospital board of directors.
In your proposal
• Include an executive summary.
• Conduct research on five other hospitals in the United States that
have dealt with these same issues and describe the solutions that were
implemented.
• Use your research to describe two solutions that are the most viable
for Univ General Hospital to implement within the next two years.
• Create two stakeholder group analyses for the two solutions you
selected. Each analysis should include at least five stakeholder groups
(e.g., patients, hospital executive administration, accounting, human
resources (HR), marketing, third-party payers, etc.). As part of your
analysis, address the following questions: o Who is impacted?
o What change processes may be required?
o What fiscal impact would occur?
o What are the ethical, legal, and diversity risk factors involved?
• Use the stakeholder group analyses to recommend the best solution
for Univ General Hospital with detailed justification. Explain why
you feel it is the best and most viable solution given the financial
impact, HR issues, interpersonal dynamics of hospital personnel,
cultural shift, and change management
