Measurable Outcomes for Covid-19 Prevention Measures at Kingston Healthcare in California 

In tackling the challenges posed by the surge in Covid-19 infections, Kingston Healthcare as facility has shown amazing leadership. As a matter of fact, the Covid-19 prevention measures (Korang et al., 2020; Li et al., 2020; Qian & Jiang, 2020) that form the subject of the change initiative proposal are deemed feasible because of organizational policy. For instance, since the determination that the number of cases were beginning to rise exponentially; the facility has had a policy of testing staff every week. This is in order to facilitate self-isolation for those infected. With the proposed evidence-based intervention, there are accompanying measurable outcomes that must be achieved at the end of the implementation period. This short paper is about them.

The measurable outcomes related to the proposed Covid-19 interventions at Kingston Healthcare include the following five:

1. The number of “shots in the arm” made per month for the duration of the program

The total number of immunizations will give an indication of the reach of vaccination portion of the bundled interventions to control Covid-19 infections.

1. The number of recovered Covid-19 patients discharged from Kingston Healthcare every month for the duration of the program

Recoveries from Covid-19 are an indicator of the effectiveness of interventions as well as efficiency at the Kingston Healthcare facility.

1. The difference in the rate of new Covid-19 infections between the start of the program (baseline) and the end of the program

A reduced rate of new infections at the close of the program will indicate that quality interventions have been administered.

1. The percentage of minority communities inoculated, using the latest census figures for California as a basis of the calculation

Because of the resistance to Covid-19 vaccination from some sections of the minority communities, achieving success with vaccination in a sizeable portion of the population is a measure of program success. Prevention Measures at Kingston Healthcare in California

1. The number of staff getting infected with the novel coronavirus at the end of the program, compared to the figure at the start of the interventions

If fewer staff will be getting infected at the end of the program compared to the start, the program will have achieved its objective.
