Consolidated Quality Development Plan
The major aim of healthcare is to provide long-term solutions that would ensure patients lead healthier lives. Notably, living healthy is not necessarily the absence of disease. Rather, healthy living entails the processes by which relevant actions are undertaken to ensure that an individual does not fall ill and incorporates relevant actions that would enable them to live longer healthily (Bergeron, 2017). An assessment of the past weeks’ assignments illuminates the desire to create a sustainable and long-term mechanism that would enable veterans living in community living centers (CLC’s), to lead healthier lives. The plans propose several solutions that justify the need to establish dashboards as well as plans to monitor falls and the management of pressure ulcers.
Firstly, the dashboard was recommended for a maternity set up. That does not necessarily imply that its functions cannot be replicated elsewhere. Accordingly, the dashboard illuminates that the implementation of a quality improvement program is more successful when the organization invests in information systems to monitor, track performances as well as enhance efficiency (Bergeron, 2017). The assignment on “the Justification of Costs and Risk Management Plan” identified that the attainment of quality and thus a working program should be a by-product of efficient planning. Investing in dashboards, information systems and employing more caregivers would provide a lasting solution to the challenges that are faced in the CLC.

An ideal Quality Improvement program ensures that its beneficiaries receive the best out of the solutions available. As a result, the program assessed in the plan ensures that veterans living in the CLC receive relevant plans to monitor their health statuses such as pressure ulcers and the prevention of falls. The justification of the program indicates that investing in the mentioned solutions avers risks and increases the confidence of the community with regards to taking care of their loved ones at the CLC’s.
