Objective 1:
To Improve the quality of intrapartum and postnatal care provided to refugees in Kule, Tierkidi, and Nguenyyiel Camps in Gambella, Ethiopia by 2021.
Activity # Activities Outputs Outcomes Disaggregation Assumptions
1.1 Provide ambulances for emergency transport of women in labor.
Increased number of ambulances Increased proportion of women who deliver in healthcare facilities
Per camp Refugee vs. non Rural vs. urban
Women do not deliver at healthcare facilities due to distance and lack of transportation; providing transport will increase facility deliveries and reduce maternal and neonatal mortality.
Indicators
Number of ambulances serving Gambella
– Proportion of women who deliver in healthcare facilities – Proportion of women who list distance or lack of transport as reason for home delivery
1.2 Provide motorcycles for midwives to access rural communities.
Increased number of motorcycles for use by healthcare personnel
– Increased proportion of women who deliver with a skilled birth attendant – Increased proportion of neonates with postnatal check within 48 hours
– Per camp – Refugee vs. non – Rural vs. urban
The low proportion of births with skilled attendants and neonates with 48-hr follow-ups is in part due to lack of access; increasing ability of SBAs to reach women in rural communities will increase SBA use, improve neonatal follow-up, and reduce maternal and neonatal mortality
Indicators
Number of motorcycles owned by health system
– Proportion of deliveries with a skilled birth attendant
20
– Proportion of neonates with postnatal check within 48 hours
1.3 Provide a kit of essential supplies to HEWs for community- based newborn care (CBNC) and basic hygiene.
Increased proportion of midwives with adequate supplies
Improved capacity for management of perinatal complications
– Per camp – Refugee vs. non – Rural vs. urban
A key component of quality of care is the inputs available for use. Improving inputs will improve quality.
Indicators
– Proportion of midwives with gloves, warming blankets, instruments for positive pressure ventilation, and appropriate antibiotics for neonatal infection on hand at audit – Proportion of midwives who report having adequate supplies to perform duties including CBNC
– Proportion of neonates who receive antibiotics within 6 hours of being diagnosed with infection – Proportion of neonates with respiratory compromise who receive PPV
1.4 Provide educational messages via mobile texts to expectant and recent mothers.
Increased awareness among expectant and recent mothers of evidence-based recommendations to promote infant health (e.g. signs of preeclampsia, use of SBAs, exclusive breastfeeding, vitamin supplementation, vaccinations, fever mgmt).
Design And Planning Of Phcs Assignment
– Incrseased proportion of expectant and recent mothers who seek care and support about infant’s health
– Per camp – Refugee vs. non – Rural vs. urban

– received recommended vitamin supplementation
1.5 Implement a system for patients to provide feedback to midwife supervisors via text.
Increased feedback to supervisors on midwife performance
Increased responsiveness of midwives to patients’ needs and preferences.
– Per camp – Refugee vs. non – Rural vs. urban
By providing feedback on performance, the system will incentivize midwives to provide better service. This will both improve quality of care and improve demand for SBA services, increasing utilization.
Indicators
Proportion of supervisors who report adequate feedback about midwives’ performance
– Proportion of mothers who report that midwife met a need – Proportion of mothers who report satisfaction with midwife’s service
1.6 Implement a system for midwives to report anonymized birth outcomes via text.
Increased information available to health system leaders on numbers and causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality.
– Per camp – Refugee vs. non – Rural vs. urban
Improving the capacity for monitoring of outcomes will enable health system leaders to identify problem areas and further improve system performance.
Indicators
Proportion of births with SBA present for which birth outcome is reported via text
Objective 2:

CHAPTER 8: 14. Describe at least six responses an organization could take upon discovering that one of its employees has committed acts of healthcare fraud.
CHAPTER 9: 4. You are the CO of a 230-bed teaching hospital. You have just read a newspaper article reporting that a physician on the hospital’s medical staff has been charged with violations of the False Claims Act in his private practice. The charges include upcoding and billing for unnecessary services.
· Do you believe that there is any way that the hospital could be implicated in the physician’s misdeeds?
· What is your first reaction to receiving this information?
· If it appears that the charges are legitimate and some disciplinary action is necessary, what are your options?
· When you suggest suspending the physician from the medical staff for 6 months, the Chief Medical Officer reminds you that the physician refers a large number of patients to the hospital. Does this make a difference to you?
CHAPTER 10: 4. If you were on the board of a healthcare organization, how much information would you want to receive about its compliance activities? How often would you want to hear about violation events? Would you want to hear about all of them, or just the most serious?
CHAPTER 11: 7. You are the Compliance Officer of a medical diagnostic laboratory. One of your employees arrives at work in the morning and tells you that he was approached on the street in front of your facility by a person claiming to represent a Medicare RAC. He asked the employee questions about the lab’s billing practices. The employee excused himself and wants to know how to handle these situations.
· What is a RAC?
· What advice will you give to the employee?
CHAPTER 12: 1. As Compliance Officer for a healthcare organization, in what circumstances would you choose NOT to disclose suspicious billing activity?
CHAPTER 13: 7. As a manager of employees, explain precisely how you would take into account their participation in compliance training in evaluating their job performance. Do you care whether they understood the training material or is it sufficient that they attended the training sessions?
CHAPTER 14: 5. Use five words to describe the monitoring process. Use another five words to describe an audit.

t immediately brings to mind passing or failing, when what we’re really trying to do as educators is learn—learn what students know so we can celebrate that while also learning where they need extra support.
While some tests are, in fact, pass/fail, many others provide various types of results based on their purpose or goal.
Regardless of their objective, all tests are measurement tools.
As parents, when we hear the word “testing,” we think to ourselves this is that time of year when under no circumstances can I allow my child to not get a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast.
The pressure is real; I feel it with my own kids.
We often imagine testing to be what happens at the end of the year when students are faced with bubble sheets and forced to sit quietly until their class finishes.
But in reality, measuring students occurs throughout the year, both formally and informally, for different purposes, audiences, and uses of the information they provide.
As parents, it is helpful to understand these different types of assessments as we engage in discussions with both our children and their teachers.
This is particularly true when trying to make decisions on how to best support our children in their learning, which can be challenging when the assessments may vary in terms of the scores they provide, their timing, and their relevance.
Different Types Of Measurement
There are four common types of testing in schools today—diagnostic, formative, benchmark (or interim), and summative.
They all serve distinct purposes and should work together in order to make up a comprehensive or balanced assessment program.
1. Diagnostic Testing
This testing is used to “diagnose” what skills a student has demonstrated proficiency on. Diagnostic testing often measures for student misconceptions or where students are in stages along a progression, such as by grade level, of concepts, or skills. For example, diagnostic reading assessments can measure what grade level students are fluent at reading, or based on their comprehension of the text.
Teachers use diagnostic testing information to guide what and how they teach. They’ll spend more time teaching skills students struggled with most on the diagnostic test.
Diagnostic assessments can be a very helpful tool for parents. The feedback my kids receive on these tests lets me know the specific areas where they may need extra help at home.
2. Formative Assessments
Formative assessment is often viewed as more of a natural part of the teaching and learning process. It can include strategies such as observations, having students read out loud, and asking students questions in class, as well as the use of different types of tools, like digital games.
This type of testing is used to gauge student learning during the lesson. Often, teachers are evaluating student learning without even knowing it. It is informal and low-stakes, meaning that the kind of decisions that are made from these types of assessments should be limited to informing and adjusting instructional practices, such as reteaching a lesson or grouping students for extra help. They are designed to give students the opportunity to demonstrate they understand the material.
Schools normally do not send home formal reports on formative testing, but it is an important part of the teaching and learning process. If you help your children with their homework, you are likely using a version of formative testing as you work together.
3. Benchmark or Interim Testing
This testing is used throughout the school year often to check whether students have mastered a unit of instruction. There are other types of benchmark assessments that mirror the state summative test as a way to view progress and see if students are on track.
When designed for this particular use, benchmark or interim tests may even provide a predictor of how students may perform on the end of year summative test. These tests are typically longer than formative assessments and are often used for a grade.
Unlike diagnostic testing, students are expected to have mastered material on benchmark tests. Parents will often receive feedback from these tests, which is important to me as a parent, as it gives me insight into which concepts my kids did not master. If I want to further review a concept with them, I can find lessons, videos, or games online, or ask their teachers for resources.
