Welcome message
You are welcome to this module of Hospital Attachment 6. This module introduces you to theories and skills to solve a hospital problem. It specifically establishes root causes analysis plan, steps, who will be participating, where and how to collect data to verify the root causes.
This module contains:
- Hospital Attachment 2A
- Hospital Attachment 2B and
- Hospital Attachment 2C
Aims
During this hospital attachment, students will be responsible for solution development, selection, implementation and evaluation relative to their identified problems, objectives and root cause analyses. Project management and monitoring and evaluation are critical components of this module.
Intended Learning outcomes
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
- Identify possible solutions, compare and analyze them in order to select the best one(s) that will address the problem’s root cause.
- Develop detailed implementation and evaluation plans
- Communicate solution development, selection, implementation and evaluation in a coherent and comprehensive written report and oral presentation
- Engage hospital staff in solution selection process, implementation planning, evaluation planning and work autonomously to complete a task or assignment

This module is designed to teach the fundamentals of leadership, governance and strategic management in the health care setting plus an overview of core hospital operational functions. Core hospital operations include human resources, infection prevention and control, patient flow, clinical standards, medical records management, supply chain.
This module is designed to teach students how to solve problems strategically. In particular, it demonstrates how to solve problems using an 8-step, data- and analysis-driven approach to clearly articulating the problem and objective, conducting a root cause analysis, generating and selecting solutions, planning for implementation and evaluation, and finally, implementing and evaluating the solution. This process mirrors the Plan-Do-Study-Act quality cycle, a fundamental principle of health care quality improvement
