the organization functions. This chapter discusses many different organizational structures
and provides insights into how these structures influence the change process, as well as
leadership and management.Johnson, J. K., Miller, S. H., & Horowitz, S. D. (2008). Systems-

article addresses the importance of systems-based practice (SBP) in health care workplaces.
The authors state that SBP knowledge is one of six core competencies that physicians have
to know in order to provide safe and proper care for their patients.Manley, K., O’ Keefe, H.,

Abstract: A shared purpose is an essential part of developing effective workplace cultures
and one of the founding principles of practice development in establishing person-centred,
safe and effective practices that enables everyone to flourish. When units within health care
organizations recognize their interdependence, they can create an interdisciplinary practice
through systems integration.Meyer, R. M., & O’ Brien-Pallas, L. L. (2010). Nursing services

examine the effects of nursing services delivery theory in large-scale organizations. Among
other benefits, this theory supports multilevel phenomena and cross-level studies, and it
can guide future research and the management of nursing
services.================================================================
================================================To prepare:Review the
information presented in this week’ s Learning Resources on systems theory and the

2. difference between open and closed systems.Reflect on the practices and processes with
which you are familiar in your organization. Identify one problematic issue or process that
could be improved.Consider the problem from a closed-system perspective. Then think
about how the issue or process you selected could be addressed by viewing it from an open-
system perspective. How would the transition from a closed- to an open-system view help
you and others to address the problem and improve
outcomes?==============================================================
==================================================Post a description of the
problem that you identified in your selected organization. Explain the problem from a
closed-system perspective. Then, describe how the problem could be addressed by viewing
it from an open-system perspective, and explain how this modification would help you and
others improve health care outcomes.
