Companies must motivate workers to join, remain, exhibit good relationships, and achieve high output. The motivation process involves unsatisfied needs driving search behavior which is satisfied by reducing tension.
Reinvent Decision Making at Established Institutions by Allison Dulin-Salisbu...Lean Startup Co.
Higher education has legendarily long decision-making cycles, which create a real tension for teachers and administrators who want to test curriculum ideas in new digital markets. Allison Dulin, Special Projects for the President at Davidson College, explains how the 177-year-old college has shifted its decision-making processes and used experimentation to face down the uncertainty that's rocking education markets.

This document discusses how to critically appraise quantitative studies for clinical decision making. It covers evaluating the validity, reliability, and applicability of studies. Key points include assessing for bias, determining if results are statistically and clinically significant, and considering how well study findings can be applied to patients. Study designs like randomized controlled trials, case-control studies, and cohort studies are examined. The importance of systematic reviews and meta-analyses in evidence-based practice is also covered.
This document discusses the importance of clinical judgment in evidence-based nursing practice. It states that research evidence must be considered alongside patient concerns and preferences. Good clinical judgment requires carefully examining the validity of evidence and how it is applied to specific patients. The fit between evidence and each patient's unique situation is rarely perfect. Nurses must understand patients narratively and use judgment over time to determine the most appropriate care based on evidence and the patient's needs. Experiential learning and developing expertise in caring for particular patient populations enhances a nurse's clinical grasp and judgment.
This document discusses qualitative research and its application to clinical decision making. It describes how qualitative evidence can inform understanding of patient experiences and perspectives, which are important components of evidence-based practice. The document outlines different qualitative research traditions like ethnography, grounded theory, and phenomenology. It also discusses techniques for appraising qualitative studies based on their credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The key point is that qualitative evidence provides insights into human experiences, values, and meanings that can help inform clinical decisions.
This document discusses critically appraising knowledge for clinical decision making. It explains that practice should be based on unbiased, reliable evidence rather than tradition. The three main sources of knowledge for evidence-based practice are valid research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient choices. Clinical practice guidelines are the primary source to guide decisions as they synthesize research evidence. Internal evidence from quality improvement projects applies specifically to the setting where it was collected, unlike external evidence which is more generalizable. Both internal and external evidence should be combined using the PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) cycle for continuous improvement.
This document discusses implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) in clinical settings. It emphasizes that engaging all stakeholders, including clinical staff, administrators, and other disciplines, is key. It also stresses that assessing and addressing barriers like knowledge, attitudes, and resources is important. Finally, it highlights that evaluating outcomes through quantifiable measures can help determine the impact of EBP changes on patient care.
This document discusses clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), including how they are developed based on evidence, how they can standardize care while allowing flexibility, and how to evaluate and implement them. It notes that CPGs systematically develop statements to guide regional diagnosis and treatment based on the best available evidence. While CPGs provide time-effective guidance, the commitment of caregivers is most important for successful implementation.
This document discusses key aspects of writing a successful grant proposal. It explains that grant proposals request funding for research or evidence-based projects by outlining specific aims, background, significance, methodology, budget, and personnel. Successful grant writers are passionate, meticulous planners who can persuade reviewers of a project's importance and address potential barriers. The most important initial question is whether a project meets the funding organization's application criteria. Proposals need compelling abstracts that explain why a project deserves funding and clearly written background and methodology sections. Common weaknesses that can lead to rejection are a lack of significance or novel ideas and inadequate description of study design.
The document discusses ethical considerations for evidence implementation and generation in healthcare. It outlines key ethical principles like beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy and justice. These principles form the foundation for core dimensions of healthcare quality according to the Institute of Medicine. The document also differentiates between clinical research, quality improvement initiatives, and evidence-based practice. It notes some controversies around applying different ethical standards to research versus quality improvement. Overall, the document provides an overview of how ethical principles guide evidence-based healthcare practices and quality improvement efforts.
These have evolved from two major developments 1. Institute of Medicine report titled, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (IOM, 2010) and 2. the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Opportunities for nurses, particularly advanced practice nurses, will be plentiful.
Present each aspect of the Triple Aim with an emphasis on the nurse’s role.
This definition of leadership focuses on dealing with unknown situations. Discuss patient care and administrative situations that require the use of leadership skills.
As compared to leadership, management has a greater emphasis on following protocols and procedures. Managing can also refer to control of one’s own individual work and energies. Discuss patient care and administrative situations that require the use of management skills.
Followership requires active engagement and preparation by group members. Following is just as accountable as leading or managing. Discuss patient care and administrative situations where followership can improve outcomes (patient and organizational). Discussing Exercise 1-1 can demonstrate the use of leading, managing, and following in a short span of time.
Emotional intelligence is what helps people see others in a positive light. In other words, two managers could reach the same decision and present the idea to two groups. The one with the skills inherent in emotional intelligence is likely to be perceived in more positive terms, even though the outcome may be the same. To be emotionally intelligent, consider five domains.
The five domains of emotional intelligence are associated with competent practitioners.
Having self-awareness means that you can identify the emotions you are feeling and that you know how they are altering your perceptions.
Managing emotions means that the negative emotions, such as anger, fear, and passive-aggressiveness, are avoided.
Motivating self suggests that we would be inwardly rather than externally driven.
Being empathetic suggests that we value differences in viewpoints and we don’t side with one group versus another.
Handling relationships means that you are socially appropriate.
Emphasize that emotional intelligence is also demonstrated in facilitating the development of these domains in others.
In addition to being emotionally intelligent, effective leaders and managers have these attributes.
Bleich (bl eye) and Kosiak (cozy ak) say that we can divide theory about leading, managing, and following into two categories. The first comprises the leadership theories, and the second the motivational theories.
The four leadership theories are: Trait, Style, Situational-Contingency, and Transformational. Let’s look at each in greater detail.
The four types of motivational theories are these: [Read slide]
