BHA-FPX4106: Assessment 04: Summary Report: Health Care Information Review for Linkage to HIV Care

• Data Security Plan- Data confidentiality, privacy, and security are priorities that guide the care team on fulfilling duty of care. Everyone appreciates calls for extra vigilance when handling sensitive patient information (Tariq & Hackert, 2020). For instance, only individuals with permission will access or share protected health information. Training and education on data protection will make everyone responsive to administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that ensure data integrity and confidentiality. PHI used in the medical environment will be destroyed as soon as it is done being used.

• Benchmarking Plan- The data on quality measures include largely entail linkage to HIV care. This way, the care team makes informed decisions about best practices necessary for delivering safe, quality, and cost-effective patient care (Oachs & Watters, 2020). Comparing the hospital’s data with national standards enable the care team to identify gaps in the system and improvements necessary to strengthen linkage to HIV care across the continuum.

Quality and Change Management Strategies-The facility will align everyone’s behavior and practices with strategic priorities by encouraging everyone to identify gaps within the system and adjustments necessary to facilitate quality improvement processes. Recommended practices include streamlining communication and interdisciplinary engagement. Small-scale achievements will allow everyone to visualize processes, structures, and procedures for enhancing effective and efficient information flow across the continuum (Gjellebæk et al., 2020).

Further, the care team will consider quality improvement as an iterative process that requires frequent adjustments to identify new and better frameworks for optimizing care outcomes. Best practices for departmental workflow involve communicate objectives clearly to make the team aware of goals as incremental processes that determine short and long-term progress.
