Instruction
Your assignment
Prepare an evidence-based evaluation of hospital services and turn your analysis into a practical
recommendation for the hospital executive board.
YOUR ROLE AND SCENARIO
You are the Performance Improvement Manager of a fictional 180-bed general hospital. You will work with 12
months of hospital performance information, identify credible improvement opportunities and present a board-ready
monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plan.
Evidence you will analyse
The case dataset covers waiting times, bed occupancy, discharge delays, incident reports and patient
experience. Your report must consider the quality and limitations of these measures, not just whether a
number rises or falls.
IMPORTANT - CASE DATA PACK
The HCM640 specification describes a separately issued 12-month dataset; it does not include that dataset. Obtain
the approved fictional case-data file from your teaching centre before starting. Do not fabricate missing observations
or present lecturer examples as the assignment dataset.
Select one regional governance context
Choose one of the following contexts for the regulatory/accreditation discussion. Explain how that context affects
accountability and what evidence a hospital needs; do not treat these authorities as interchangeable.
