Describe three factors ( listed below) that impact cost or revenue within your organization. How might these variables impact the DPI Project deliverables?
1. Length of stay- ( increase length of stay is costly for insurance, decrease pt satisfaction, increase risk of hospital acquired infection which can decrease reimbursement )
2. use of supplemental staffing (agency nurses) due to staffing shortage – need adequate staff to carry out bundle interventions
3. patient acuity / complexities ( noted on admission)- complex patients may alter results if not appropriately screened for hospital admission and high observation criteria)
