Description

Clinicians are practicing EBM when they use data from research that shows desirable outcomes and then make decisions on how to treat patients. Likewise, leaders and managers use EBMgt to make decisions on how to operate, improve, or add new services to a healthcare organization.

You are the chief executive officer (CEO) of an acute-care hospital. The governing board has expressed interest in adding a new service line, a twenty-bed geriatric psychiatric unit. This unit would be constructed in an existing vacant space within the hospital.

Create a preliminary market analysis for a geriatric psychiatric unit. Your primary focus for this project is to research credible sources for data that should be used in creating an evidence-based analysis. This analysis will then be used to determine the need and potential success or failure of the new service line.

Assume the unit will maintain a census of twenty patients per day. The market analysis must include the following data:

  • Population of the service area that will be required to support the new service line
  • Satisfaction of geriatric psychiatric patients in other similar organizations
  • Profits in other similar service lines
  • Requirements and costs for staffing the unit

EVIDENCE BASED ANALYSIS IN GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRIC UNIT

Evidence Based Analysis in Geriatric Psychiatric Unit
Introduction
Evidence based management in healthcare is based on evidence based market analysis in
order to have a clear picture of the prevailing market conditions (Janati et al., 2018). As a chief
executive officer of an acute care hospital, addition of a new service line within the existing
market space is necessary to enhance quality of care to many patients. The success of the current
project is anchored on a number of concrete quality metrics such as the number of people that are
expected to be served, the necessary requirements and the costs of starting and managing such a
facility, the rate of patient satisfaction in other healthcare organizations in the United States of
America and profits in similar service lines in the country.
Evidence based management is a growing area in sciences and there is a notion that
effective management and decision making is supposed to be anchored on the available evidence
(Janati et al., 2018). Research has indicated that healthcare organizations and other facilities that
have embraced use of evidence based framework for EBMgt have been able to meet the set goals
and objectives of addressing increased needs of clients.
There are number of factors that interfere with successful implementation of evidence
based management within healthcare. As a chief executive officer, I do appreciate the fact that
evidence based management has been evolving over the past and there is need for various
stakeholders to embrace it in order to offer quality services to various clients across the globe.
Therefore, evidence based medicine is necessary in making informed decisions about how care
of the patients is done. The principles of evidence based management have been extended to
other disciples such as education, criminology, health policy, economics and public policy

among others. The current essay is an examination of evidence based market analysis as
pertaining to the current project that is under implementation.

Population of the service area required to support new service line
The new unit is expected to maintain patient population of twenty people on daily basis.
The new unit is expected to focus more on the older patients since they are known to have many
personal needs as compared to other category of patients in the country. Any geriatric unit is
designed to evaluate the needs of the psychiatric patients who are suffering or not having any
concurrent medical conditions. Major goal of the new service line is to return an individual to
his/her optimal functioning in a timely manner. There is also another plan of continued care after
the patients have been discharged from the healthcare facility.
The new service line will admit patients for twenty four hours a day. This is a unique
service that is meant to provide short team individualized treatment to majority of elderly
patients having roots in the United States of America and beyond (Evans, 2016). The patients
will be attended to by a team of high ranking psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers,
mental health experts, nutritional therapists and physical therapists among others. Successful
evaluation of the patients will be followed by psychological testing of the patient, aftercare
planning of the needs of the patients, development of various individualized behavior and
medical evaluation of how medical care is being done.
Caring for the elderly population is anchored on the fact that longevity of life and lif e
expectancy has been improved. The population of elderly patients has been increas...
