Gap Analysis

The desired state for skin cancer patients is achieving a rate of 5% or less, compared to the current state of 7%, revealing a gap of 2%. Survey findings suggest this gap stems from untrained staff and patients’ lack of knowledge about preventive measures. Addressing these factors, the West Virginia University Hospital is poised to play a significant role in reducing mortality rates from skin cancer.

Problem Statement

The increasing prevalence of skin cancer among the local population at West Virginia University Hospital is a pressing concern. This problem adversely impacts the quality of health in patients and has led to a growing number of fatalities.

AIM Statement

The initiative aims to reduce the mortality rate associated with skin cancer. The beneficiaries include patients of the West Virginia University Hospital Oncology Department who are either at risk or currently suffering from skin cancer. Prevention strategies, staff training, and patient education will form the backbone of this initiative. The program will be implemented within one year, with the goal of enhancing the quality of healthcare and increasing the population’s life expectancy.

Planned Intervention

Aspect	Details
Proposed Intervention	Staff training, patient guidance, and identifying barriers to care.
Implementation	Conduct educational seminars, educate patients on sun protection measures, and involve stakeholders, healthcare organizations, and policymakers.
Potential Effects	Reduced disease risk, increased life expectancy, and improved healthcare quality through educated staff and informed patients.

Healthcare staff will undergo training to guide patients on preventive measures, including the use of sunscreen, ultraviolet-resistant glasses, and body coverage. These interventions will target the most vulnerable populations and enhance their overall well-being.

Project Team

The project will be managed by a diverse and experienced team, including executive sponsors, key team members, stakeholders, and a team leader.

Role	Responsibility
Executive Sponsor	A medical oncologist will oversee project management and ensure adherence to goals.
Team Members	Comprising an RN, psychiatrist, registered dietitian, and patient service representative, each member will contribute to reducing skin cancer mortality.
Team Leader	A surgical oncologist will employ innovative and transformational leadership to guide the team.
Stakeholders	Will collaborate to foster a supportive environment for disease prevention.

Team members were selected for their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to the cause, ensuring a successful project outcome.

Data Management

Effective data management will underpin the project’s success. Data, including the number of patients, healthcare staff feedback, and patient outcomes, will be collected and securely stored.

Aspect	Details
Data Collection	Performed by proficient auditors and healthcare staff from the project’s onset.
Data Storage	Information will be stored in password-protected EHR systems and safeguarded under HIPAA regulations.

This systematic approach ensures compliance with data protection laws while supporting evidence-based decision-making throughout the project.
