This week’s discussion asks the student to discuss business principles and to identify how these principles will correspond and affect our current facility. Identifying specific principles is critical to healthcare to help evolve companies and organizations. All agencies strive to be successful in the matter of making money and strive to produce top quality products at a cost-efficient rate; this is the same thought process within the healthcare business model. Hospitals want to give high-quality care at the best price producing the best care for the cheapest rate. Management in healthcare facilities is still in a structured framework that will always require nursing managers and chief nursing officers. Currently, Harper
Leadership has many definitions. Chin, Desormeaux, and Sawyer (2016) define leadership as a relationship between followers and a leader with the intent to promote change through a mutual vision. Therefore, leaders are active influences in the outcome of organizations, through their decision-making, strategies, and influence on followers (Dinh et al., 2014). Additionally, in the nursing context, it has been documented that a leader 's style plays a factor in patient outcomes (Fischer, 2016). Indeed, in an ever-changing, complex health care environment, nursing leadership has become a crucial factor in managing challenges and maintaining patient safety (Fischer, 2016).

Week One Discussion Two Response to O 'Neill The addition of nurse leaders in the executive suite is essential in facilitating the perception that nurses are critical decision makers in the health care industry. Furthermore, it is imperative that a formal succession plan is incorporated in organizations to assure strategic leadership, quality care, and operational effectiveness incorporate nursing at the uppermost level of decision and influence (Trepanier & Crenshaw, 2013). The Chief Nurse Executive role is evolving as a tactical authority in acquiring a major influence on our nation’s health care delivery systems and clinical outcomes (Bradley, 2014). As health care shifts and changes, nursing must be at the forefront to assure optimal influence
(2008). I would like to challenges Chief Nurse Executives (CNEs) to lead the journey and highlights how patients, their families, and health care organizations would benefit immeasurably if CNEs stepped forward and accepted this leadership role, then and only then can the best practice changes begin to improve what we as nurses already know. The processes of leading are intended to enable more people to develop into leaders and more people to share the roles of leading, to enhance the quality and safety of patient care (Stone P. Hughes R, Dailey M.
Nursing administration on a national level is best described by The National Center for HealthCare Leadership (NCHL). This is a non profit organization that exemplifies quality care and leadership in the 21 st century. The goal of this organization is to improve healthcare on a national level through efficient and effective management that is in accordance with it’s mission. In keeping with it ’s mission, NCHL embarked upon an ambitious initiative with the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, examining the role of the senior leadership team in promoting quality and safety in his/her organization (Disch, Dreher, Davidson, Sinioris, & Wainio, 2011).
The Leader selected for the interview was the chief nursing officer at the Seton Medical Center Austin. The chief nursing officer at the facility is tasked with overseeing the general management of the nursing department. The chief nursing officer is tasked with ensuring that strategic plans and strategies in the hospital are implemented and that activities run smoothly and as required in the organization. Apart from these core tasks, the chief nursing officer also ensures the following; Collaboration with the medical staff and the facilities management to develop programs that are patient-centered and to come up with regulations and procedures that guide the newly established programs.
As the healthcare landscape continues to shift, medical providers and hospitals are continuously being challenged to develop clear and concise visions and redesign care delivery in ways that will usher proper transitions to value-based care. As value-based healthcare continues to take root, more and more hospitals and providers are finding themselves with little option but to join the movement. However, the jump from previously utilized fee-for-service models to value-based healthcare is not an easy one, and many healthcare organizations are finding it difficult to do so. The greatest challenge lies in successfully making the transition from volume to value-based healthcare in ways that are financially stable. Such inherent difficulties faced by those within the healthcare system are what have necessitated strategic
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has a strong stance on nurses and leadership. They believe that nurses are a vital component to health care system and nurses in leadership roles can have a positive impact on such. Nurses are in all sorts of roles within the health care systems ranging from a staff nurse, nurse managers, to advance practice, all the way to congress (Finkelman & Kenner, 2013). In addition, they even serve in the boardroom within some health care organizations. Leadership doesn’t necessarily mean a nurse in a manager position, but a nurse who has an influence on staff.
Across the United States, it is common to find nurse-managed health centers that offer accessible health care services to the people. Nurse-managed health centers are a basic necessity in healthcare because they provide affordable and deserved care to the unprivileged population, while at the same time educating and training nurse practitioners. Usually, such health care institutions are led by an advanced practice nurse and as a result, need careful and efficient management and leadership skills and models. With the role that these centers serve, there is a need for an advocacy strategy for the nurse-managed health centers as a way of overseeing their effectiveness in service delivery grow. One of the factors that can improve management delivery
The nurse manager is committed to the job and focus on day-to-day operational
However, there are certain strategies that can overcome these barriers. For instance, the nurse’s resistance to change and poor communication of objectives is overcome by constant communication of the benefits of this leadership style not just through word, but also through actions until they understand its
Specifically, 1) We explain and analyze how well Barbara Norris done in her first month as a nurse manager and describe her management control approach to performance improvement. 2) We more specifically, evaluate the adequacy of changes Barbara Norris is trying to make. 3) We recommend an action plan for Barbara Noriss to improve staff 's performance.
The corporation’s cultural values include compassion for patients, teamwork and an aspiration to win, and driving results with determination, urgency, and accountability. Moreover, Baxter’s cultural values are echoed in the company’s emphasis on learning swiftly and adapting to change, having the courage to fail, correct results and move forward, and thinking global/acting local. The corporation’s objectives are to achieve quality treatment and patient safety, become the leader in performance in the healthcare industry, and be the best place to work. Baxter Healthcare Corporation is doing relatively well in achieving its planned objectives, and currently, the company is moving in the right direction to realize the uppermost quartile performance (Doe 1). Despite the office politics that occasionally get in the way of realizing objectives, the Corporation brags of a highly motivated team of employees, a diverse and balanced business portfolio, and clear goals and accountability that function to help it realize its mission, objectives, and
They are able to connect, communicate and coordinate across multiple departments, professional opinions and voices, and the daily schedules of patients. Advocating and designing care with the patient and family is a true skills set and cultural attribute that adds tremendously to a culture of safety and patient – centeredness but requires the most able leadership to build these bridges across the many professionals engaged in care. Building this culture is a leadership challenge and there is no one in my experience better able to make these changes than nursing leaders ( Maureen Bisognano, 2009). Nurses should not just be at the bedside or within the nursing community but must be involved as leaders and decision – makers throughout the healthcare system. As Maureen Bisognano (2009) points out, the best nurses are accomplished envoys among different players and interests involved in direct patient care, which is a skill needed throughout organizations and businesses, not just in hospitals or
(Nursing Times). Nursing is gaining influence in all aspect of healthcare practice, therefore it is important for nurses to develop good leadership skills at the early stage of their practice which is the key to all nursing career and nurse managers can become good leaders with effective training and enhancement of their skills in leadership. Most nursing managers are tossed around by their leaders when they themselves are leaders in their capacities. A nursing manager aspiring to become a leader must be committed to excellence and passion for patient’s advocacy, employee’s protection and be a role model, living by example.
