Summary Report: Health Care Information Review

Write an executive summary (1–2 pages) for senior leaders that highlights key information about the proposed health care information review of the quality of care given to a specific population. Detail the proposed implementation steps and associated time frames in a Gantt chart (one-page chart).

Introduction

As the office manager of your physician group, you realize that obtaining funding for your proposal will require the approval of the physician group’s senior leaders. You and the others helping you implement the proposal will need the details your proposal contains. From experience, however, you have learned the senior leaders will not take the time to review all the details. For them to approve your proposal, they simply want the highlights of what you plan to do, a brief explanation of how it will identify the quality of patient care, and the amount of time it will take to complete the study. In this final assessment, you will prepare a summary report for the senior leaders of your physician group. Your summary report is an abbreviated version of your proposal.

Please carefully review this assessment’s scoring guide to better understand the performance levels relating to each criterion on which you will be evaluated.
