This document discusses healthcare communication and management. It covers complex responsive processes and viewing organizations as living systems. It also discusses the seven da Vincian principles of art/science, curiosity, feeling/sensation, demonstration, soft/mellow, coronary/artery, and connection. These principles can help with healthcare leadership. The document also discusses using continued education units for training staff and managing things like anger, grief, and charismatic managers. Overall it promotes improving communication between administration, medical staff, and patients.
This document discusses why patient engagement with health information online has been limited. It argues that the technology perspective sees healthcare as rational and evidence-based, but it is actually ambiguous, founded on relationships and reassurance. True engagement requires considering motivation, capability and opportunity for behavior change. Interdisciplinary teams including social scientists are needed to connect innovation to how people experience healthcare in reality.

MANAGING BEHAVIORAL DISTURBANCE WITH THE DEMENTIA CLIENT THROUGH PERSONClaire Henry, M.Ed.,CDP
Claire Henry is the director of Lourdes Memory Center whose goal is to enhance quality of life for those with Alzheimer's and related illnesses. She is responsible for managing staff and clinical services to provide optimal care tailored to each resident. Henry is an experienced healthcare educator able to teach and motivate professionals on caring for those with dementia. Her upcoming presentation at the 2016 Vascular Dementia Conference in Valencia, Spain will discuss using person-centered care models to better manage behavioral disturbances in dementia patients by focusing on preserving their personhood. The presentation will cover how behaviors are a form of communication and techniques for improving interactions through a person-centered approach.
This document summarizes the author's 30-year journey in nursing leadership. It describes experiences in various clinical settings that helped develop transformational leadership skills. The author pursued advanced degrees including a MSN to expand their practice. Current goals include completing a DNP with a focus on educational leadership to further shape nursing education and prepare to be a complexity leader capable of facilitating healthcare system changes. The overall journey has moved from an initial interest in authority to a focus on empowering teams through shared governance and developing care coordination across settings.
Transformational leadership is well-suited for the continually evolving healthcare industry. Transformational leaders inspire creativity and help people work towards shared goals. They develop integrity and competence in both themselves and their followers. Examples of transformations in healthcare include a shift to personalized care through electronic health records, value-based payment systems, and new models for accessible care delivery. Continued innovation will be necessary to address changing health conditions and needs.
The document discusses the healthcare administration industry. Key responsibilities include maintaining member profiles, processing enrollment applications and verifying eligibility. Prompt service and efficient processing are important for developing the industry. As administrators, organizations should process healthcare enrollment and claims without financial risk or compromising data accuracy. Third party administrators play a prominent role in administering or outsourcing certain responsibilities like claims processing and premium collection. The industry depends on healthcare professionals providing services to benefit patients.
The document discusses the definition and scope of ethics. It examines ethics as a code of behavior that governs conduct, drawing from universal values found in documents like the Hippocratic Oath. While laws, religion and regulations provide rules of what to do or not do, ethics considers universal human values and what is intrinsically right or wrong. The document also notes challenges with research ethics committees and reviews examples of questionable or unnecessary research to explore the role and responsibilities of ethics.

This document discusses issues related to families providing long-term care for aging parents. It notes that increased lifespans are leading to greater needs for long-term care, which can be very expensive. While some argue families should be responsible for parents' care, others worry about the financial burden and the potential for abuse. The document also examines policies around paying family caregivers and whether consumer direction programs, where families are paid to provide care at home, could become more widespread.
The chapter discusses several theories of discourse and interaction, including speech act theory, coordinated management of meaning theory, communication accommodation theory, and expectancy violation theory.
Speech act theory examines how language is used to perform actions through five types of speech acts: assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declaratives. Coordinated management of meaning theory explores how meanings are created, coordinated, and managed through rules and patterns of interaction. Communication accommodation theory addresses how people modify their communication behavior, such as speech patterns, to match or diverge from others. Expectancy violation theory focuses on how expectations shape interactions and the effects of violating expectations.
Ethics in healthcare go beyond what is legal and provide moral guidelines to assist in complex decision making. Some examples of ethical issues include deciding who receives organ transplants, discontinuing life support, and how much care to provide uninsured patients. Ethics principles include doing no harm, preserving life, treating all patients equally, respecting patient choices, and maintaining professional standards of care. Patients have rights to considerate care, informed consent, privacy, and participation in advanced directives to refuse treatment.
The document discusses morals, ethics, and key ethical concepts relevant to nursing. It defines morals as based on religious beliefs and social norms, while ethics refers to the standards and methods of a profession. Key ethical concepts for nursing discussed include autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, fidelity, veracity, and rights. Autonomy involves respecting a patient's right to make their own decisions. Beneficence means doing good, while nonmaleficence means avoiding harm. Justice refers to fairness, and fidelity means fulfilling one's responsibilities.
PHI 204 - Ethical Issues in Health Care: Virtue Ethics, Feminist Ethicsdotcom YOGA
Virtue ethics focuses on the character and motivation of the moral agent rather than the specific actions. It believes good actions stem from having a virtuous character. Feminist ethics is concerned with the rights and welfare of all women. It advocates for women's control over their own bodies and lives, and seeks to establish equality between women and men in society and institutions through addressing imbalances of power. For example, women were historically underrepresented in heart disease clinical trials, resulting in ignorance about how common it is in postmenopausal women. Feminist ethics emerged to remedy injustices against women and establish equality for women in medical research and practice.
The document outlines codes of ethics for interpreters in judicial and healthcare settings. It discusses 8 canons for judicial interpreters focusing on accuracy, impartiality, confidentiality, limitations of practice, protocol, skills maintenance, credentials and impediments. For healthcare interpreters, it outlines 3 core values of beneficence, fidelity and respect for culture, and 9 ethical principles including confidentiality, accuracy, impartiality, professional role boundaries, cultural awareness, respect, advocacy and professional development.
This document discusses several key issues in medical ethics including conflicts that can arise between patient/family values and treatment guidelines, the complex nature of healthcare ethics, and important principles like autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, dignity, and truthfulness. It also summarizes two cases involving pharmaceutical companies illegally promoting drugs and a kidney transplant racket in India. Finally, it discusses the importance of patient safety, avoiding medical errors, and the ethical duty of physicians to disclose errors to protect patients.
This document discusses copyright and ethics in the digital age. It notes that technologies have changed how we interact with and produce cultural works. Where the 20th century model focused on consumers, the digital age allows everyone to be both consumers and producers. However, this has led to tensions between a culture of freely shared ideas versus intellectual property. The document also provides an overview of copyright law and discusses how digital technologies have enabled a "read-write-rip-burn culture" that the legal system has not fully addressed yet.
The document discusses several theories of ethics including utilitarianism, rights, justice, and egoism. Utilitarianism examines the costs and benefits of actions to determine the greatest good. It can ignore individual rights and is focused on efficiency. Rights theory focuses on allowing individuals to freely pursue actions without interference from others. Justice looks at the fair distribution of costs and benefits among groups. Egoism judges actions based on their effects on an individual's interests. The document also provides an analytical approach to ethical problems by considering utility, rights, and justice.
This document provides an introduction to key concepts in bioethics, nursing ethics, and ethical decision-making. It discusses bioethics principles like autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. It also examines ethical issues that nurses face, including moral suffering, moral anguish, and navigating nurse-patient-family and nurse-nurse relationships. Critical thinking skills like moral imagination and reflection are presented as important for ethical nursing practice and decision-making. Models for ethical analysis and working as part of a healthcare team are also introduced.
The document discusses ethical issues and principles in healthcare, including:
- The importance of ethics first being recognized with Hippocrates' oath 2500 years ago.
- Professional codes of ethics set standards for different healthcare professions to promote patient welfare.
- Laws are often based on ethical principles to enforce standards around issues like confidentiality, though sometimes laws conflict with personal ethics like on abortion.
- Healthcare workers should follow legal standards for patient care even if it conflicts with their own ethics.
- Organ transplants involve complex ethical decisions around who receives donated organs.

Role presentation ethical decision making-finalKatelyn Taylor
This document discusses ethical decision making for advanced practice nurses. It defines ethical decision making as the identification, deliberation and resolution of difficult moral problems that arise in healthcare. The document outlines Hamric's four phase model of ethical decision making: knowledge development, knowledge application, creating an ethical environment, and promoting social justice. Key traits of ethical decision making include quality of care, virtue, humility and holistic decisions. The document also provides two examples of ethical dilemmas that advanced practice nurses may face in practice.
The document discusses theories of human value development. It describes Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs and how values motivate behavior beyond needs. Lawrence Kohlberg and Carol Gilligan are discussed for their models of moral development, with Gilligan arguing females focus on caring versus the male focus on justice. Morris Massey proposed people are shaped by significant historical events into value cohorts like Traditionalists and Challengers. Key concepts are the innate human capacity for ethics, stages of value development, and how events shape generational values.
Companies which follow certain business ethics have better chances of survival, as compared with the ones whose only goal is to make profits, even if they have to make several compromises to achieve their goals.
The document discusses CHI Memorial's efforts to recruit and retain nurses through an intensive RN residency program. It provides new nurses with a thorough orientation and exposure to different departments to find a good fit. The program has a 93% retention rate for its graduates.

An Assessment And Action Plan For Self ImprovementMonica Turner
This document discusses how philosophy has influenced the development of nursing. It explains that nursing philosophy promotes the application of nursing knowledge and helps develop nursing theory. Nursing theories and philosophies influence each other. Philosophies guide nurses in decision making and have helped shape nursing today. The author's personal philosophy aligns with Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring, which views nursing as more than treating illness and involves humanity, arts, and sciences.
This document discusses nurses' empowerment through research. It defines empowerment as a process that fosters power in people to act on important issues in their own lives and communities. Empowerment can lead to increased job satisfaction, autonomy, and improved patient outcomes for nurses. The document notes there is a need to enhance nursing practice quality through research, but there are limited studies on empowerment among Philippine nurses. Barriers to research include lack of skills/knowledge and negative attitudes, while facilitators include leadership support, research mentors, and promotion systems that value research competencies. Overall, the document argues nurses must be empowered through research to provide the best evidence-based patient care.
This presentation highlights the qualities needed for a nurse to become a leader and also the qualities that senior nurses need to develop in the junior nurses so that the latter can become leaders of the future
March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date .docxwkyra78
March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach “grew up” and left home to take on the world.
When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.
In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.
Choose a professional healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).
Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.
By Day 3 of Week 1
Post
a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.
By Day 6 of Week 1
Respond
to at least
two
of your colleagues
on two different days
by visiting the websites they shared and offering additional examples of EBP or alternative views/interpretations to those shared in your colleagues’ posts.

Evidence based practice presents with summation of ideas, experiences, coupled with literature centered around dedicated man power and hours of work both in the clinical and or research setting which could span for a number of years based on the mission and or vision of the facility working on a certain intervention to bring about global change in the dynamics of either how healthcare is delivered, managed and or improved. Following from a careful perusing of the medical university of South Carolina, the institution presents with a healthcare setting centered on the need to achieve excellence through innovative implementation of quality assurance, patient centered care based on improved clinical practices based on improvements and incorporation of new data on evidence based practices. According to Crabtree et al., (2016, p172) “The MUSC Center for Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), housed jointly in the Library and the Quality Management department of the MUSC Hospital, aims to promote sc.
Implementing Fixed Patient For Nurse RatiosTanya Williams
This document proposes implementing hourly rounding at a hospital to improve patient safety and satisfaction. A task force would be established to use research evidence to propose, implement, and evaluate the change. The Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice model would be used as a guideline, consisting of three phases - identifying the issue, searching for evidence, and translating evidence into practice. Implementing hourly rounding would help meet patients' needs, reduce call lights and falls, and improve HCAHPS scores.
Knowledge management in medicine refers to capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using organizational knowledge to achieve objectives and make the best use of knowledge. It involves identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise's information assets, including databases, documents, policies, and expertise. Knowledge management systems in healthcare can streamline information for efficient patient care and potentially improve outcomes. While knowledge management offers benefits, healthcare must continue developing systems to fully utilize knowledge and deliver care safely based on the full scope of current information.
The document summarizes a presentation on organizing health information in an eHealth environment according to citizen-centric principles and concepts. It outlines the background, methods, preliminary findings, conceptual information model, information management principles, and roadmap presented. The presentation calls for an iterative development process to involve stakeholders and promote a citizen-centric model for integrating new eHealth possibilities in New Zealand's health systems.
This document discusses patient and family centered care. It explains that patient and family centered care involves working together with providers, patients, and families to improve the patient experience and quality of care. It shares how other organizations have successfully adopted this model of cultural change. This model is referred to as patient and family centered care (PFCC). Facilities that have implemented PFCC have seen benefits like reduced call lights, fewer falls, and lower readmission rates. The adoption of a new PFCC culture takes continual effort from the entire healthcare team.
Aims and objectives of nursing management, vision and mission statementNursing Path
The document discusses the aims, objectives, vision, and mission of nursing management. It provides definitions of vision as the strongly felt aim or calling that defines where the profession wants to be in the future, and mission as defining where the profession is currently going and its purpose. An effective mission statement should concentrate on the present, inform about desired performance levels, and provide ongoing guidance. The document outlines several examples of vision and mission statements for nursing professions and their goals to provide high-quality patient care, strengthen staff development, and facilitate coordination between departments. It emphasizes the need for clear vision and mission statements to guide nursing practice and address ongoing problems in the profession.

Enhancing Nurse Moral Agency TheLeadership Promise of Docto.docxgreg1eden90113
This document discusses the need for Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs to focus on preparing nurse leaders with strong ethical foundations. It argues that DNP curricula should be built upon an "ethics matrix" consisting of understanding nursing goals and responsibilities, ethics language and decision-making skills, and the motivation to act ethically. This ethics matrix would provide context and stability for other skills taught in DNP programs. The document also notes contemporary challenges like cost pressures that can interfere with ethical nursing practice, and argues that DNP-prepared nurses are well-positioned to provide transformative leadership that enhances nurses' ability to advocate for patients.
The significance of nursing education defines what a professional is, what the barriers are and facilitators are to professionalism, the history and significance of BSN education, media image of nursing, as well as touches on important organizations and publications that support nursing.

the computer.
14. SOFT/MELLOW AND HEALTHCARE
LEADERSHIP
“Our habitual ways of being and relating in health care
are often firmly based in rationalist causality. We see
ourselves as moving toward some pre-chosen goal or
finished state…However, in our own efforts to reduce
anxiety of the unknown, we limit the potential for novelty
and innovation. What tends to happen in the rational
mindset is a re-creation of past patterns of interaction. For
leaders, then, the work of helping individuals to let go of
the past and supporting new ways of being becomes
central” (Davidson, 2010, Pg. 116)

on the future and how they want it to unfold, will always
be waiting for tomorrow, and the day after that. The
power to shape the future lies in our ability to interact
and pay attention to the present and our connections to
those around us” (Davidson, 2010, Pg. 116)

Editor's Notes
Welcome, my name is Suzanne Ewert and this is my Senior Project for my Healthcare Administration BA degree. During the powerpoint presentation, Healthcare Communication and Management in the Changing World of Healthcare, I will discuss that healthcare management has a greater responsibility than ever before to examine their communication and management styles so they can be effective in the ever changing healthcare field. Specifically how different types of communication and management styles effect the culture of the organization, performance of the employees and maintaining management authority.
Historical The Care Center has had a highly coercive organizations with linear leadership. To meet the ever changing landscape of medical field there is a need to change to a highly normative organization with participatory leadership, which would include the Complex Responsive Processes (CRPs). This changes the mindset from seeing organizations as machines to viewing them as living systems that need constant tending to. I have used the Seven da Vincian principles to create an overview of the organization as a living system that each of the seven areas are important to the growth and sustainability of the healthcare organization. By dividing management and communication into seven areas it is easier to make sure that all areas are addressed.
a. In the book, How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Everyday Genius, the author Michael Gelb provides “a powerful example for anyone wanting to connect with their capacity for genius” (Davidson, 2010, Pg. 109). I want to take this capacity for genius and integrate it into the communication and management of a healthcare facility. The seven principles are written in Italian but for simplicity I am translating each one to English. The first one is art and science. The second is Curiosity. The third is Feeling/Sensation. The fourth is demonstration. The fifth is soft/mellow. The sixth is coronary/artery. Last, but not least is connection. Each one will be discussed during this presentation.
“The major thrust in the twentieth century for the nursing profession was on the development of nursing science” (Davidson, 2010, Pg.113). “This shift is evident in the move toward evidence-based practice (EB-P) in nursing and health care” (Davidson, 2010, Pg.113). We, in the healthcare field excel in this area. We have been very successful in developing the proper training and tracking systems to adhere to the many rules and regulations governing healthcare facilities. I will discuss of few of these in the next few slides.
a. Continued Education Units (CEU) database that all staff has access to, this is a great way to make sure that all licensed staff stays educated and meets the requirements for their certifications or licenses. This CEU database should have the CEU’s specific for long term care, but also contain ones from other fields. This CEU is adaptable to any field in healthcare. It should be assessable by staff both at work and at home. That way staff members are have more options to completing their required CEU’s.
b. The first obvious way that this CEU database can be utilized is to have a way to track of each staff members CEU’s and can send staff reminders as necessary.
c. The second benefit is the ability for management to assign required yearly training to staff members and can track the successful completion of it.
d. The last and perhaps the best benefit is that management can assign training specifically to address discipline issues with staff. For example, a staff member having trouble with being frustrated could be assigned anger management classes as part of his/her plan of action.
a. The CEU database can be added to provide training in new rules and regulations like;
b. New Medicare rules and regulations
c. Videos of techniques for things such as wound care, transfers, new equipment and other training that is either new or just reminders of what is expected.
d. And any other training as needed.
Next of the Seven da Vincian principles is Curiosity. Which is the “Creative problem solving and an open, curious mind may well be the best strategies for innovation in healthcare delivery” (Davidson, 2010, Pg. 114). The next few slides some examples of strategies of healthcare delivery.
The Art of Persuasion is a talent that healthcare staff, especially nursing assistants and nurses, need to be able to do their jobs. The most essential and delicate part of a nursing assistant’s job is the ability to persuade a patient to allow them to undress them and give them a bath. This is accomplished by having training on how to have the right words, tone, body language and techniques. By being taught this delicate art of persuasion nursing assistants and nurses are able to connect with patients and meet there most personal of needs.
The third of the Seven da Vincian principles is Feeling/Sensation. This is “being fully aware of our surroundings in the living present. From a transformative perspective, one’s surroundings include not only the external physical environment, but also the quality and nature of our interactions and relationships with others” (Davidson, 2010, Pg. 114). As healthcare staff we are expected to meet the emotional needs of our patients all without having any emotional needs of our own. We deal with angry, hurting, and dying patients every day and are expected to not react negatively. I think that it is a mistake to not provide emotional support for our healthcare staff. The next few slides will discuss two of the programs I think are necessary for the emotional wellbeing of our essential healthcare staff.
One of the first ways of helping staff deal with anger is using the CEU Database to create and assign Anger Management courses. These courses can be mandatory yearly training or assigned as necessary.
For staff with anger issues a Required Anger Management Certified course can be required as part of the plan of action to prevent being terminated.
One on One Counseling for Anger Management will have to be established through the health insurance plan for employees. Not all healthcare facilities can afford this option
Group Counseling is offered through the county mental health department. The information of various classes should be posted in staff breakrooms.
This is another example of how the CEU Database can be used. To created and assign Grief courses. These courses can be mandatory yearly training or assigned as necessary.
Encourage healthcare staff to become Certified Grief Counselors, not only for themselves but to be able to help patients and other staff members.
One on One Counseling for Grief Management, which will have to be established through the health insurance plan for employees. Not all healthcare facilities can afford this option.
Grief Group Counseling is available through the county mental health department. The information of various classes should be posted in staff breakrooms.
The fourth of the Seven da Vincian principles is demonstration and it “tells us that we have much to learn from our mistakes, especially in the face of an unknowable, yet recognizable, future…will address the challenges of leading amidst this uncertainty” (Davidson, 2010, Pg. 115). Most healthcare facilities are struggling to receive full reimbursement for services rendered from Medicare and other health insurance companies. There needs to be a change.
Healthcare Administrators have a responsibility to have the computer system that is a part of the nationwide health information exchange and educate healthcare staff in the use of it. All paper records need to be converted to electronic records, because failing to do so will “find their Medicare/Medicaid payments decreased as a penalty for being unwilling to participate in this initiative" (Ardito, 2014, Pg. 41). To be sure that payment is received for services provided, proper recording of medical information on the health information exchange has become one of the most important tasks in a healthcare facility. So utilizing the CEU Database to create classes on teach the proper way to enter data in the computer. This can be assigned to healthcare staff as needed
“Our habitual ways of being and relating in health care are often firmly based in rationalist causality. We see ourselves as moving toward some pre-chosen goal or finished state…However, in our own efforts to reduce anxiety of the unknown, we limit the potential for novelty and innovation. What tends to happen in the rational mindset is a re-creation of past patterns of interaction. For leaders, then, the work of helping individuals to let go of the past and supporting new ways of being becomes central” (Davidson, 2010, Pg. 116). The need for innovation and charismatic leadership is greater than ever.
“First, charismatic managers should be more likely to engage in symbolic behaviors that foster strong subordinate identification, thereby increasing the likelihood that followers would imitate them. Second, since charismatic managers should be more prone to self-expression, they are more likely to clearly express their motivation to subordinates. As a result, subordinates would be more likely to be affected by managerial motivation and strive to emulate it” (Jean-Francois, 2008, Pg. 84). These qualities, charismatic, self-expressive, motivating and knowledgeable are essential qualities in a manager.
The sixth of the Seven da Vincian principles is the Coronary/Artery. Historically administration of healthcare facilities “operate in the macro-time frame (past to present to future)…Leaders, who are constantly focused on the future and how they want it to unfold, will always be waiting for tomorrow, and the day after that. The power to shape the future lies in our ability to interact and pay attention to the present and our connections to those around us” (Davidson, 2010, Pg. 116). This mindset of administration does cause communication issues with the medical staff.
CEO are in charge of the healthcare facility but they do not control the physicians and all decisions have to be based on professional standards and what technological dictates. In other businesses the CEO makes decisions based on what will grow the business and provide the greatest amount of financial success. This is why physicians and administration have historically been at odds. Physicians are 100% accountable for patient outcomes and if that costs ‘too much’ is not concern. Administration has the responsibility to keep the business in the black. So to address this fundamental differences it is essential for good communication.
To create a common group identity which requires the ‘presence of leaders who can provide direction and manage context and relationships” (Bujak, 2003, Pg. 20). By using this common group identity as a guide to finding common ground. When CEO and administration are presenting ideas to the medical staff it is important to remember their concept of time is immediate, so it is important to put concrete timelines on future plans. Such as in the next week, year, and decade. Common understood language is important for successful communication.
Last but not least of the Seven da Vincian principles is Connection. “In twenty-first century organizational life, we must come to understand the Connection between people rather than things…this skill as coevolving, developing larger ecosystems that connect people and their actions across boundaries through seeing and acting from the whole” (Davidson, 2010, Pg. 117).
To be able to properly evaluate healthcare staff there needs to be a way to look at all aspects of their working history. However, usually there is only the write-up available in healthcare personals files. There is a better way. “Of course, the professions must supply generally accepted criteria to evaluate effectiveness so that both the professionals and their managers (who might be professionally trained in the respective discipline under supervision) can assess progress at periodic millstones” (Raelin, 1998, Pg. 220). So it is necessary to have a find a way to gather the proper data to assess each healthcare employee. This can be done by creating a database for each healthcare staff so that write-ups, hours worked per week, opinion of patients/staff, continued education and call-in/no-shows. This information can show a more accurate picture of what kind of employee this person is and if they are worth investing time and resources into them.
There is a growing trend of losing good healthcare staff members and difficulty in replacing them. Connecting with our healthcare employees on a deeper level of being thankful for their hard work and devotion to the patients. The Healthcare employees that work overtime need to be thanked for their sacrifice and hard work. A simple handwritten thank you card from their direct supervisor is most effect. Working a Holiday should be rewarded with a Holiday Card handwritten by the Executive Director or Director of Nursing sends a strong message of the thankfulness from management. Then there is Manager’s Choice, this is any extra special things that healthcare staff do to make the lives of patients, families and other staff better. A handwritten thank you note from their manager sends the strongest message of gratefulness. It is important to record the events in the staff database so that when they are evaluated there is a clearer picture of the type of employee they are.
In conclusion, contemporary health care is changing. It is the responsibility of healthcare management to have the best communication and management styles to be effective in the ever changing healthcare field. Specifically how different types of communication and management styles effect the culture of the organization, performance of the employees and maintaining management authority. With these seven points of the Seven da Vincian Principles, a company can evaluate if they have any weak areas that need extra time and attention. Most healthcare companies are excellent in the Art/Science but are lacking in the Connection between. Looking at each of these seven points as body functions that keep the company alive, such as the blood supply is essential to life, but so are the lungs. Each of these points of the Seven da Vincian Principles are the life force that ensures the survival of Care Center of Port Orchard now and in the future.
