The process of constructing a balanced scorecard for either financial goal setting or tracking of patient and employee satisfaction can be controversial. For example, a hospitals financial scorecard provides a snapshot of gathered data for the hospital, but the data may be out of context, which makes it difficult to identify specific problems. It is evident that both scorecards and dashboards have a place in the health care setting; however, will all organizations and accrediting bodies agree on the aspects of implementation, data analysis, and levels of effectiveness? a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following: 1) Select any setting (Hospital) and describe the extent to which the patients experience of care is measured, tracked, and set for improvement goals. 2) Evaluate whether goals at your organization are established for these metrics and whether or not they are currently being met. 3) Describe some of the provocative issues that have or will emerge. For example, what has been the impact of CAHPS or HCAHPS in the setting described (if applicable). This
article highlights the benefits of nurses using dashboards to help with staffing issues. It considers the sharing of data that dashboard can facilitate from the perspectives of nurses, units, hospitals, and patients. In this article, the authors discuss how to measure success when analyzing worksite health promotion (WHP). They then cover how to organize these measurements, assess WHP programs, and determine factors related to best-practice evaluation frameworks. The details of this article focus on a multi-center research network that initiated an evaluation method using balanced scorecards. The first three years of the measurement tools implementation are covered, and the achievements and challenges are discussed. The approximate length of this media piece is 10 minutes. In this program, Barbara Epke and Carrie Brady discuss methods that health care organizations use to gather data for measuring outcomes, and explain how data are used to measure key indicators of quality and safety.
