Develop two infographic diagrams for a chosen organization Associated memorandum, no longer than 5 pages for both diagrams

For this assignment, you will:

• Develop two infographic diagrams for a chosen organization
• Associated memorandum, no longer than 5-8 pages for both diagrams

Scenario

You were invited as a consultant to assess the cohesiveness of the interdepartmental coordination of healthcare services. The organization tries to improve efficiency and quality of care while reducing overhead and labor expenses. 

Infographic Diagram #1

• Select a health organization.
• You may choose an ambulatory center, long-term care, acute care hospital, rehabilitation facility, physician practice, diagnostic (imaging or lab) facility, or retail pharmacy.
• Remember that you must utilize a direct patient care organization, not a public health entity, government facility, or administrative organization such as a professional organization (AHA, AMA, etc.). 

In the associated Memo for this portion of the assignment, be sure to provide the link to the chosen organization’s website and a paragraph about why you selected the organization. Follow APA 7 for formatting guidelines.

• Select a health organization and demonstrate the interconnected departments within the organization. Follow the pathway of patients’ cases that are processed in the organization from check-in to the end of the encounter, as well as activities relevant to the patient (HINT: coding, billing, insurance claim, and such).
• Demonstrate a minimum of 12 connections between departments. Identify the subordinator protocols in the decision-making by using arrows. Provide reasoning behind your findings in your associated Memo.

Infographic Diagram #2

• Select a real health organization (different from the one chosen for diagram 1) that you are familiar with or wish to research with an integrated model, including multiple health delivery settings (inpatient, outpatient, medical practices, urgent care, managed care, etc.)
• In the associated Memo for this diagram, provide the link to the chosen organization’s website and provide a paragraph about why you selected the organization. Also, discuss the identified connections and their subordination in decision-making.
• For this diagram, you can follow a patient, supply chain, or any other function requiring interdependency or involving different delivery settings. 
• Develop a diagram illustrating the connections between the different delivery settings.
• Analyze the value of demonstrated interdependences and provide an example of how it improves an organization’s performance and sustainability.
