Quality tools are not those found in our toolbox at home, but assist in analysis of a potential issue or concern in a process. Reflect on the HRSA resource from last week to provide your response.

1. Discuss what quality tool you think would be most efficient for analyzing a patient elopement from a Nursing Home. What measures would you use to drill down to the possible contributing factors?
2. Discuss the importance of benchmarking with other facilities/programs/plans and provide an example of how you can do this (remember the 1st discussion).
3. Visit the Nursing Home Compare or Hospital Compare website. Select 3 facilities and compare 4 types of information related to the facilities. It can be related to any of the indicators described.
