The assignment then requires that you write a report. (Summative Task)
In writing the report you will assume the role of the most senior person with overall
responsibility and accountability for clinical/service governance in the organisation from
which these responses were derived. Please note (but ignore for the purpose of the
assignment) that this is not a real organisation and that there won’t be statistical validity
for the data. This assignment is about learning to use data as the source of evidence for
assessing and making change.
In the role of that person analyse these results to identify and also (briefly) explain the
three main concerns that you see arising from these survey data.
Review the data and think carefully in order to understand what the main clinical/service
governance concerns are for you as they are likely to arise from a combination of scores
or a wide range of responses.
Your concerns will probably derive more from patterns in the survey results, which draw
on scores for multiple questions, rather than simply picking single low score on a single
element. Your concern may also derive from an area that scores fairly well but which is
so important that it still is justified as being your greatest concern. Or it could be that the
range of scores for one question tells you that there is a worrying patchiness of the
organisation’s status across different staff types or difference work areas.
Explain, in the report, what would be your plan to systematically address these concerns.
Make recommendations for action based on a systems approach and, where applicable, to
the current Australian Safety and Quality Framework for Health Care or a relevant safety
and quality framework if you want to look at aged or human services.
There are not always clear or even ‘right’ answers. What is being sought here is that you
can explain how and why you evaluated the survey results to identify priority concerns
and then to use these data as a basis for improvement action.
Do this in a report format. You are not provided with a template for a Report. These are
readily available, and you should adapt one that covers the information you need to
include and your intended recipients of the report. Make appropriate use of headings
and relevant attachment. Part of the assignment is being able to select and use an
appropriate Report style.
