NAHQ Exam CPHQ Topic 2 Question 79 Discussion

Actual exam question for NAHQ's CPHQ exam
Question #: 79
Topic #: 2
[All CPHQ Questions]

A team has been working together for six months to improve a patient outcome, and the desired result has not been achieved. An assessment of team effectiveness was conducted and revealed the following:

The healthcare quality professional should recommend

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The assessment reveals that while team member satisfaction and growth scores are high (96% and 95% respectively), team productivity is slightly lower at 90%. Since the desired patient outcome has not been achieved, it is important to identify and address any barriers that may be hindering the team's productivity. By evaluating these barriers, the team can better understand the factors impacting their ability to meet their goals, such as workflow inefficiencies, resource limitations, or external factors affecting performance.

The other options are less relevant in this context:

Developing interventions to maintain team member satisfaction (B) is unnecessary at this point, as satisfaction is already high.

Continuing to monitor as the team is performing within acceptable limits (C) does not address the fact that the desired outcomes have not been achieved.

Creating a reward system based on team member growth (D) is unrelated to the immediate issue of productivity and patient outcomes.

Can we just skip the assessment and go straight to option B? I'm sure a trust-building exercise and some team bonding will fix everything. What could possibly go wrong?

Hold up, a reward system based on individual growth? That's like giving a gold star to the kid who still hasn't learned to tie their shoes. Focus on the team, not the egos.

Hmm, option C seems tempting, but if the desired result hasn't been achieved, we can't just keep monitoring. Gotta take some action!

I agree, option A is the best choice here. We need to understand what's hindering the team's progress before we can implement any interventions.

The assessment clearly shows that the team is struggling with communication and decision-making. Evaluating the barriers impacting productivity is the logical first step to address this.
