CASE STUDY #3
Read and study the case on Health Maintenance Organization (B) – Case 5.2, p. 144 of the textbook. DO NOT answer the questions at the end of the case on p. 144. Answer the following 3 questions:
1. Draw an initial flowchart for this process using an example on slide 15 of the lecture materials. Identify the process bottleneck, cycle time and flow capacity. Can this initial process flow have a capacity of 50 patients per hour? Explain your answer.
2. Identify and draw an improved layout (process flow) that will allow to have the capacity of 50 patients per hour. Use two pharmacists and two technicians for this layout. Explain what you improve, identify bottleneck, cycle time, and flow capacity per hour. (Hint: use the example on slide 16 of the lecture materials).
3. In addition to savings on personnel costs, what benefits does this arrangement have?

Questions and answers to be solve
CASE STUDY / PATIENT HISTORY:
A young woman sought psychological services after her cardiologist referred her for stress management and treatment of “heart attack” symptoms. This 36-year-old woman had the world by the tail. Marketing director for a local high-tech firm, she was in line for promotion to vice president. She drove a new sports car, traveled extensively, and was socially active.
Although on the surface everything seemed fine, she felt that, “the wheels on my tricycle are about to fall off. I’m a mess.” Over the past several months she had attacks of shortness of breath, heart palpitations, chest pains, dizziness, and tingling sensations in her fingers and toes. Filled with a sense of impending doom, she would become anxious to the point of panic. Every day she awoke with a dreaded feeling that an attack might strike without reason or warning.
On two occasions, she rushed to a nearby hospital emergency room fearing she was having a heart attack. The first episode followed an argument with her boyfriend about the future of their relationship. After studying her electrocardiogram, the emergency room doctor told her she was “just hyperventilating” and showed her how to breathe into a paper bag to handle the situation in the future. She felt foolish and went home embarrassed, angry and confused. She remained convinced that she had almost had a heart attack.
Her next severe attack occurred after a fight at work with her boss over a new marketing campaign. This time she insisted that she be hospitalized overnight for extensive diagnostic tests and that her internist be consulted. The results were the same–no heart attack. Her internist prescribed a tranquilizer to calm her down.
Convinced now that her own doctor was wrong, she sought the advice of a cardiologist, who conducted another battery of tests, again with no physical findings. The doctor concluded that stress was the primary cause of the panic attacks and “heart attack” symptoms.
Using the information from this case study, you will design a Stress Management Implementation Plan for this patient. Draw on the information you received in this class to help you complete the following plan. Format your Management Plan using the template provided in a separate file.

Instructions
Use a provided template to develop a 3-5 page proposal for an intervention and implementation plan related to the health problem you defined in the first assessment.
For this assessment, you will be designing and planning the implementation for the intervention to improve the health problem you defined in the first assessment. You will also examine implications of interprofessional collaboration, technology, and organizational and governmental policies for your intervention and implementation plans.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:
Preparation
Your intervention and implementation plan should be carried out in an interprofessional context, aligned to your topic, and based on the work you did in the first assessment. You should find collaborators as soon as possible so you can solicit their feedback about intervention and implementation plans to inform your approach.
Instructions
Having identified a health problem relevant to your current or future nursing practice and reviewed the literature to support nursing standards, decision making, and improvement strategies, you should now plan an intervention to address the chosen health problem based on the research you conducted.
Construct a plausible plan that leverages the best practices and research collected to date as well as additional research into similar projects that you find in the literature. Be sure to frame your plan within the context of the health care setting in which you are completing your practicum hours. Incorporate relevant site-specific processes and policies into your implementation plan.
Use the Plan Proposal Template [DOC] to complete this assessment.
As you develop your plan, be sure to address the following:
