Investigate and compare two national Quality l benchmarks (colonoscopies and pap smears) used as a scorecard in health care. Identify the variances of the benchmarks, and the population focus. How successful are these national benchmarks in improving and/or maintaining quality care? What role can the DNP-prepared nurse assume in developing quality benchmarks for health care and implementing these standards in a FHQHC primary care clinic?
The paper you must:
Evaluate practice patterns against national benchmarks to determine variances in clinical outcomes and population trends.
Investigate and compare the two national Quality I benchmarks (colonoscopies and pap smears) that are used as a scorecard in health care, relevant to a FQHC primary care clinic
State conclusions based on your scholarly appraisal of the Quality I benchmarks.
Provide specific examples that support ideas.
