Peer # 1:
1. Does the higher death rate at Community Hospital mean that there is lower quality care?
Although the high mortality rate at Community is not necessarily an indication of poor patient-centered care being delivered by the physicians and medical staff, it can provide insight on how to address complex health issues that can potentially end in an unanticipated death. According to Kobewka et al. (2017), by creating a process that the entire facility can use to analyze mortality rates, Community can potentially reveal opportunities for physicians and medical staff to combat complex medical issues. For instance, Community can capture mortality data and have a physician and nurse manager review cases to determine whether or not the death was unanticipated. In those instances the medical staff will be able to identify opportunities to enhance their operations to prevent this loss of life from repeatedly occurring and reduce the hospital’s mortality rate. Furthermore, accurate mortality data can be used to develop research for the prevention and potential cure of chronic illnesses.
2. What would you bring up in this discussion at the task force meeting?
Recent research reveals it’s imperative that Community implements a system that accurately captures mortality data and have trained medical professionals carefully review that information for opportunities to improve operations. Physicians and nurses have access to diagnostic procedures, which offers insight to the root of the problem. Analysis of accurate mortality rate data can potentially lead to the development of healthcare policies that foster healthier lifestyles (English et al, 2018)
