Fast Track Study Guide for AMT2 Service Line Development

Fast Track Study Guide for AMT2 Service Line Development Understanding the Course- This course is about practical application. As this course covers needs assessment, international healthcare trends, service line management, revenue analysis, costs and productivity, communication, negotiation, health policy, health legislation, and facilities management, which are variables in the evaluation process. 1. The recorded task instructions are very helpful and provide you with guidance on how to address each task. 2. The recorded cohort lectures are designed to increase your knowledge about the task but not to provide an overview of the entire course. Start with reviewing the recorded tasks instructions as it reviews the topics and warns you of problem areas. AMT2 Task 1: • • • • The article for building and buying are now embedded in your course of study make sure you access that information. You need to list the advantage to build, buy and lease space for the orthopedic unit and using supporting documentation from both the general case study and task specific artifacts to help as well as any outside resources. You will need to list the disadvantages to build, buy and lease space for the orthopedic unit and using the supporting documentation from both the general case study and task specific artifacts to assist you as well as any outside resources. Finally, you will make the recommendation to senior leadership as to which you want to see happen and why. You can use outside documentation to support your decision. AMT2 Task 2: • • • Review the community health needs assessment and delineate the risk factors that are included community health needs assessment. Look at the general case study artifacts – i.e., Fact Sheet to determine if Trinity is currently meeting the needs. You will want to develop your plan of how you will meet the goals that are not currently being met at Trinity. AMT2 Task 3: • • You need to discuss at least two national trends that are identified either in the task specific artifacts or current event. And because healthcare does not operate in a vacuum, you need to indicate how these trends will impact the delivery of the care you provide at Trinity. 1 • You will need to create your own legislation that would remedy the issues that you identified as the national trends to ensure that Trinity is able to be more successful. AMT2 Task 4: Remember you are building your case of why you want the service line to be implemented. • You can look at the community health needs assessment in task 2 specific artifacts as well as the Fact Sheet in the task specific artifacts to determine the demand for the service line that you have selected. • Identify at least two current trends in the international market as it relates to the modality of treatment or advances in care so that you can talk about how you can incorporate the trend into how you can provide better care to your patients. For example, Australia may have a new prosthetic that they just developed! • Because you don’t want to build everything from scratch you want to identify the existing services at Trinity that will serve as a complement to the new service line you want to develop. For example, Trinity may currently have a rehab center and that would be perfect if you selected the ortho line as this will help your patients recoup and not have to go out to another facility. • Look at the task specific and general case study artifacts to help support the financial and operational reasons as to why they should pursue the service line you selected. • You will want to discuss how you can get physicians to come to your facility. Also, what type of physicians you want at Trinity for your service line and how will you ensure that they are aware of your facility. You want the physicians to make Trinity their hospital of choice so all patients would be referred to your service line. • The last section is explaining how to operationalize the service line. This is not a regurgitation of what you just outlined for your justification. It is really discussing the steps you need to take to open the doors to your service line. What will it take to get the boots on the ground!!! 2
