Directions:
You have been hired as a consultant for Best Care Hospital to improve the quality and increase patient satisfaction using innovation and information systems. Best Care Hospital has already invested $12M in the implementation of a new electronic health record but this has not improved customer satisfaction. Your job is to do an analysis of the patient experience and identify where there are opportunities for improvements by evaluating the current state of the patient portal, patient wait-time analysis, customer satisfaction results, cost transparency, and the electronic transition of care between settings. You will see several documents attached to help with your analysis. You may need to conduct some mock interviews and make some assumptions. Applying what you have learned in class speak to your approach to doing this review and the best practices that you may recommend. Also provide the organization with some strategic innovation that they should prepare to leverage in the next year or two to make a significant improvement in the patient experience. Be prepared to provide best practice examples to support your recommendation. Provide a 10 page concise consultant report with recommendations. You will see a sample consultant template.

HEALTH INTERVENTION CASE STUDIES

/in /by

This coursework is a problem-based learning exercise, which requires you to write a case study
report containing an evaluation of the problem (i.e. the case study) and your proposals for what
action you think should be taken to address the problem (i.e. a treatment intervention or
management plan for that case). Choose ONE case study and think about how it relates to the
material taught in this module.

CASE STUDIES

HEALTH INTERVENTION CASE STUDIES – CHOOSE ONE CASE ONLY

CASE A
Francis Grant is 39 years old and has recently returned to full-time work as the manager of a
busy sales team following the birth of her first child. She enjoyed her maternity leave and was
unsure about going back to work full-time. However, Francis has always been very ambitious,
having worked her way up the ranks in this company since she left school, and felt that having a
baby should not interfere with her plans. She is finding the workload hard to manage, has
difficulty concentrating at times and in prioritising tasks. Since returning to work she has
experienced several acute episodes of palpitations and sweating. She recently brought the
wrong USB stick with her to an important presentation and was unable to give the sales pitch on
time, the presentation had to be couriered over which caused delays and meant that the
customer did not offer her company the contract. Francis’s husband, Charles (44), has always
been supportive but has recently lost his job in the City and though he was initially pleased
about the baby now seems distracted and withdrawn and appears to have lost interest in both
of them. Charles hasn’t looked into finding a new job, gets up late, and does nothing to help
with the baby. Francis has to take the baby to the nursery on the way to work and pick her up
again. Francis has tried to encourage Charles to go to the GP but he refuses to go saying that
there’s nothing wrong with him. Francis feels quite socially isolated, struggling with her role as a
new mum and the pressures of her job, and is worried that Charles appears to be depressed.
Her parents and brother live in Australia and she hasn’t got friends nearby as they moved to
London for Charles’s job. She visits her GP who diagnoses anxiety caused by stress and discusses
treatment options with her, suggesting trying either CBT or counselling.

CASE B
Ruben is a 30 year old homosexual man living in Brixton with his mother. He smokes 20
cigarettes a day, does not exercise and is currently unemployed. Ruben was aware of his
sexuality when he was in his teens; and was bullied at school as a consequence of his emerging
sexuality. Whilst his mother had been supportive of Ruben’s sexuality, his father had refused to
talk to him, where arguments between his parents had erupted. Ruben’s mother had been given
an ultimatum by her husband stating its ‘either me or him’. She decided to protect and support
her son, which resulted in divorce. Ruben has feelings of guilt and depression and blames
himself for his parent’s divorce. Also, he has had recent concerns that since he is the only child,
he would not provide his parents with any grandchildren. Ruben began binge eating large
amounts of food within two hour periods. Most of his food binges are sweet foods where his
dietary intake has gradually deteriorated. Ruben reports a total loss of control during such
episodes. This is followed by inappropriate and recurrent compensatory behaviours in order to
avoid gaining weight. Ruben goes through a combination of fasting (including diet drinks and the
substitution of food for vitamins and herbal medications including diuretics) and laxatives
including very high doses of vitamin C. This pattern of binging and compensatory behaviours
has lasted for several years. Whilst he tried to keep his eating behaviour from his mother, she
has become aware of the situation and wishes to organise treatment for him. Ruben is close to
his mother, but at times he feels that she can be overpowering and overbearing at times. The
G.P has referred Ruben to you for treatment.
