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

11. 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

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.

23. 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 fi
