The document discusses strategies for reducing medication errors by taking a system-wide, interdisciplinary approach and including all stakeholders. It emphasizes the importance of considering not just patients, but also members of the organization who deal with medication, like nurses, pharmacists, and IT. Reducing errors requires understanding differences between specialties, like how insulin is administered differently in pediatrics than other fields. It also stresses the need to examine organizational culture and climate, using respectful communication and transparency to learn from mistakes without blame. The goal is to empower staff to share about errors to improve systems and reduce future issues.

Patients who have complex health needs require not only medical. But also social services and support from a variety of caregivers and providers. Facility managers who are part of care coordination could assist patient in receiving optimal care by addressing the challenges in coordinating care for these patients, and offer programmatic changes and policies that help deliver the best services to all patients.
Facility managers can come up with strategic plans based on prior data and make necessary changes based on preexisting conditions. “Patient- centered, comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible care that continuously improved through a systems-based approach to quality and safety” (AHRQ, 2012) are what’s needed to achieve the highest quality care possible in any health care facility.
Patient centered care can’t be achieved with providers only. It requires team work and collaboration among all stakeholders. To improve the quality and safety of patients, health care facility managers can work hand and hand with the coordinated team to provide a system based approach by drawing on decision-support tools, taking into account patient experience, and using population health management approach. Patient preference and needs on what aspects of care to be improved.

As a facility manager, and part of the care coordination team, I would look into models of care that would assist our situation. With the Affordable Care Act in place, there are accountable care organizations (ACOs), which provide models of care (“Promise,” 2013). There are many different definitions and perspectives on care coordination, but all lead to the goal of meeting patient needs and providing adequate healthcare (“Care,” 2014).
Care coordination is essential because each patient can interact with a variety of professionals each visit. For example, for a routine physical appointment, the patient could meet with the scheduling staff, medical assistants, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and the billing staff. If each one of these member fails to coordinate as a whole, the patient could be harmed or neglected. As a care coordinator, I would be responsible for discussing an individualized care plan with each patient and ensuring that they understand their responsibilities. All barriers should be identified, such as financial, social (language), psychological, and anything that would effect the patient from following their correct plan of care and interacting with the staff (“Promise,” 2013). Another key point is to ensure the medical staff has reviewed the patient’s medical records and ensure that everyone is on the same page. These are just a few examples, because each case is different and each patient will have different needs. .

The Analysis
The paper explores and analyses how the culture and climate of at my workplace, Cleveland Hospital influence the provision of quality care services. The creation of a sustainable healthcare work environment in which workers and patients feel engaged, loyal, and satisfied remain as priorities of any organization. My organization culture makes the broader construct that covers every aspect of employees at work. The climate within the organization involves our shared perceptions among employees on the organization’s procedures, practices, policies, and the nature of the rewarding system. The summary of the assessment findings on my organization’s physical environment, organizational power and structure, social environment, environmental safety, professional and personal support, organizational communication, and organizational taboos form the critical aspects of the paper.
Cleveland Hospital Organizational Culture and Climate Analysis
Summary of Assessment Findings
Physical Environment: How I experience the work environment at any given time, how it feels to work in the organization and to perform in the organization’s culture influences my mood. Within the facility, families visiting their patients have a well-furnished waiting bay with television in which they first rest before being allowed to see their patients. Those with cars can access marked parking lots that are enough. Since the organization is Christian-based, it has a chapel in which patients’ families can gather and pray for their loved ones undergoing medical treatment.
Environmental Safety: As workers, we share values and beliefs that influence our behavior within the organization. It is through these share aspects in which the organization has identified to provide safety measures since the organization believes that healthy workers are essential assets in performance. As a result, environmental safety measures such as safety stickers on elevators, stairwells, passageways, and hallways are maintained. These stickers remind workers and other people that safety at the workplace is critical and that they should observe safety measures.
Social Environment: The organization has maintained its annual event at the end of the year in which all workers and other senior employees converge to celebrate the achievements of that year. These internal social events have helped in strengthening interdepartmental socialization and making the organization one big family. As a result, the shared assumptions, values, and beliefs of the organization get enhanced to propel the achievement of goals and realization of the vision.

Executive Summary
Medication error being a systematic problem is not a new case. It is something that nurses and other healthcare providers have experienced. The error could be a result of recurring issues of just human error. It could also lead to more severe injuries where the patient could find themselves with a new condition such as itching rashes or skin problems that could either be temporary or permanent. These medication errors could even lead to death in some cases, significantly hurting the patient's family, especially when they know that the death of their loved one could have been prevented. It could make the healthcare provider responsible for the error start doubting themselves and start feeling guilty and ashamed for the action. It could even lead to depression throughout their life. If the deceased's family decides to file a lawsuit against the nurse or the one who was responsible, it could result in them losing their license. Medication errors can also impact the hospital where the healthcare provider is working, and patients even lose trust in the kind of treatment offered in that hospital. The occurrence of medication errors could cause the organization not to achieve its goals and objectives of providing quality care to patients for better results. Since human is to error, a medication error of not greater than 5% is allowed, but currently, it is at 39.5% (Barker et al. 2020)
As a nursing leader, I would recommend using various strategies to help minimize the occurrence of such medication errors in the future. The management should make it their responsibility to establish a safety culture and constantly report the current system and how it is performing. Healthcare providers should understand that humans are to error, and no one is to be blamed or receive a harsh form of punishment. The healthcare provider responsible for the medication error should acknowledge their mistake and report to the nursing leaders or the supervisor in charge to ensure patient safety before things get worse.
Nursing is a vital profession in the healthcare sector, mainly concerned with providing quality care to individuals and families. However, it has been discovered that there is a gap between the expected outcomes and the actual results. As a nursing leader, I will present the matter before other executive leaders to ensure care has been improved. Even though care is the primary concern of nurses, other healthcare providers should also work to ensure quality and safety outcomes. It is the responsibility of every individual in the organization. They should ensure to utilize evidence-based information and apply this knowledge to assess the ability of the entire organization to provide evidence-based care delivery. I will also look at systematic problems and specific medication e ...

Skills Assessment Paper
Summary of Skills
For the development of an organization to be successful and effectively achieve set goals and objectives, strong management and organization skills will be required (Bateman & Snell, 2007). Our Team A brings a broad spectrum of skills and talents coming from life, educational and work-related experiences. Each member of the team possesses unique skill sets that will bring fresh ideas, techniques and creative solutions to challenges in the development of our consulting firm.
A thorough evaluation of our team member’s skills, suggests that our key strengths lie within teamwork and dedication, creating presentations, critical thinking, problem-solving techniques, communication, research, and observations. With these skills, this team will be able to successfully achieve most tasks necessary in the development of a consulting firm. This team will need to use these skills to collaborate efforts in a cooperative manner to create, plan, develop and accomplish the goals of the consulting firm. This evaluation also portrays a strong dedication to learning and improving which is beneficial in the development of new skills that may be needed.
Most members of our team currently have educational and professional experience that proves an intense desire to improve and advocate change and educate communities to collaborate an effort enhancing the lives of individuals. This desire will effectively promote positive changes both within communities as well as at a societal level. The team’s overall commitment is to meet basic human needs through education, focusing on identification of challenges and prevention, as well as assist in overcoming personal and organizational obstacles that individuals may face. Our team is committed to improving the overall quality of life through advocacy and action.
The first type of consulting firm that we could possibly work with would be a human services/independent living consulting program. This program would collaborate with a client’s care givers, doctors and independent care organizations to assist in facilitating a client’s independence and improve or maintain health. This consulting firm would collaborate efforts to create an independent, long-term care plan that will enhance the develop of daily living skills, educate on services and programs available, exercise the right to make healthy living choices, and encourage pro-active involvement of all care-giving professionals in the pursuit of personal growth, presence, and participation in the long term care process. This program will improve and emphasis respect and dignity through the promotion of independence.
PLEASE ADD THE OTHER TWO TYPES HERE!
The types of problems these consulting firms might solve.

Improving the Work Environment
Improving the work environment within a hospital facility is a primary goal that overlooked at by nurse leaders and other healthcare managers. Even nurses focus on the welfare of the patients and sometimes forget to look into their own well-being. The management which sometimes includes stakeholders is usually so fixated on the clients that they overlook the well-being of the nurses who do most of the care giving. The focus is on the outcome and ignores the people in the process. As a result, nurses experience tough challenges that even complicate and make them unable to perform their duties the way they should (Committee on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Initiative on the Future of Nursing, at the Institute of Medicine, & Institute of Medicine, 2014).
Statement of the problem
The environment that nurses work is full of traumatic events that also affect the nurses psychologically. They deal with sick children, burn victims, the dying cancer patients who are people in extreme pain. They are not immune to this human suffering. They struggle with depression, grief, and loss as well. The sad assumption made is that it is a job and they should somehow not be affected, but in most cases they are. The issues they see on a daily basis slowly eats away on their sanity and sometimes results in depression or even addiction. About ten percent of the nurses working in the United States are on drugs as a coping mechanism for the trauma they experience on a daily basis (Finkelman, 2018).
Besides, their state of mind is made worse by doctors who look down upon their jobs and use inappropriate language or sexually abuse the nurses. Nurses have to cater to all kinds of patients including some very passive aggressive and narcissistic patients who continually frustrate them to such a considerable extent. They are insulted, spat on, vomited on, even defecated on, and nobody cares to take care of their mental well-being after such painful experiences. The empathy that they give on a daily basis is never reciprocated back to them.
Thirdly, the occupational health and safety are not adequately considered. Many nurses report joint pains, back, and other issues right after a shift. In worst case scenarios nurses are overworked and majorly understaffed. The work they do is seldom recognized as much as the doctors’. They are often ignored and looked down upon. This results in low job satisfaction and poor motivation for work (Jones et al., 2012). It leads to a compromise of the quality of care they give to patents and n addition the low motivation may result in errors. Burnouts are the primary cause of failures in healthcare facilities. It leads to depression and low morale even for life give that the nature of their w.

Best Practices in Team Interactions
Abstract
Why we have teams who are successful and others being unsuccessful? What real criteria or attributes are required for success? So contemporary teaching as well learning practice, including training over the years in higher education institutions has promoted great learning and individuals making use of the provided guidance have shown collaboration and achieved team success. This has thus promoted the requirement for identifying critical attributes needed for building successful teamwork.
This paper states examples of individuals who worked for identifying basic principles and set expectations for promoting coordinated contributions among various participants during the care process. It is therefore intended to provide the common reference points for guiding coordinated collaboration among the health professionals as well as patients and their families, helping to accelerate the inter-professional team-oriented care.
Teams in the health care take many roles, for example, we have disaster response teams along with teams that perform emergency operations as well as hospital teams providing care to acutely ill patients and the teams that care for people staying at home and also comprising of office-based care teams, teams centered to one clinician and patient, geographically disparate teams that tend to care for ambulatory patients and the teams that comprise of the patient and their loved ones along with the coordination of various supporting health professionals. Teams in health care therefore comprise to be large or small or are centralized or even dispersed as well as virtual or face-to-face depending on the tasks assigned. (Grumbach K, Bodenheimer, 2004).
Evolution of teams in health care
Health care is usually not recognized as being a team sport but it certainly needs to be. In the past individuals were cared for the one all-knowing doctor who basically lived within their community and used to visit their home and was also available during th ...
The idea of strategy- a plan designed to achieve a goal – origin.docxarnoldmeredith47041
The idea of strategy- a plan designed to achieve a goal – originated in the military. Strategy is often confused with tactics, which are specific actions taken to achieve a goal. Strategy is also often confused with objectives. Objectives are long-term performance and outcome goals. Strategy is more comprehensive than tactics and objectives; it is an over- arching plan. Strategic planning can and should occur in an organization at many levels. For example, marketing strategy is an overarching plan that enables an organization to concentrate its limited resources on its greatest opportunities to increase sales, attain its goals, and sustain a competitive advantage (Baker 2008, 3). It is informed by careful analysis of the organization’s internal and external environments by the organization’s marketing research process. Finally, strategies at all organizational levels must align with and support the organization’s mission, vision, and values. This chapter begins with a discussion of mission, vision, and values in healthcare organizations and concludes with an explanation of the important role that healthcare marketing plays in achieving an organization’s mission and vision and living its values.
Mission and Vision
An organization’s mission statement is essential to its ongoing success (Bart and Tabone 1998). At the least, an organization’s mission statement should help to distinguish it from other organizations (Griffith 1988). At its best, a mission statement is the embodiment and self-image of an organization. The mission expresses the highest goals of an organization and provides strategic direction (Wiggins, Hatzenbuehler, and Peterson 2008). An organization without a clear, achievable mission is like a traveler without a road map. You seem to be making good time, but you don’t really know where you are going to end up.
In today’s increasingly competitive healthcare industry, it is imperative that mission-driven healthcare organizations—whether hospitals, physician practices, long-term care facilities, durable medical equipment distributors, or pharmaceutical companies—be able to achieve and maintain a clear, identifiable reputation; name recognition; and competitive advantage. What, if anything, distinguishes one hospital from all other hospitals, one pharmaceutical firm from another, or one group of physicians from any other group of physicians? For many decades, this need to set one’s organization apart from all other organizations of a similar nature was greatly hampered by the healthcare industry’s misunderstanding of—and disdain for—marketing. Indeed, a 2005 study of hospital mission statements found that nearly all contained similar language and claims regarding their commitment to the provision of high-quality care (Bolon 2005). In a 2008 study, researchers searched a random sample of hospital mission statements for key words associated with interest in and commitment to education and found that the missions of 21 of the 81 (26 .

Socialization
To begin the process of socialization, having a clear understanding of the definition of nursing is essential. We know what nurses do, but how do we define nursing? Why is defining nursing important? To answer this last question, defining nursing is important for several reasons:To differentiate nursing from other professions.To define our practiceTo provide guidelines for nursing educationTo make nursing visible to the public and policy makers
While there may be multiple definitions of nursing from professional organization and state boards of nursing, similar characteristics can be found in all of them.
The American Nurses Association offers the following definition:
Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.
Knowing what nursing is, supports your move into the nursing role. Socialization is the process of internalizing knowledge, skills, attitudes and other concepts needed to function in a role. You have been socialized into your current role. However, after graduating with your BSN, there will be another socialization process as you take on the broader role of the nurse with a BSN. Another way of describing the socialization process is Patricia Benner’s (1984) novice to expert stages. Some of you may be familiar with Benner’s work through your facilities clinical ladder. Socialization of the professional nurse involves developing your knowledge and skills and interacting with other nurses who act as mentors. Throughout the education process, students encounter a variety of socializing agents, including faculty, classmates, colleagues and other healthcare professionals, patients, and family, who subsequently contribute to the formation of a professional self-identify (Lai & Lim, 2012, p. 32).

You are a licensed practice nurse (LPN) collaborating with a registered nurse (RN) for hospital-wide in-service on healthcare associated infections (HAI). After the in-service, a representative from each hospital department will receive an infographic to post in their respective unit. Your job is to create an infographic on preventing HAIs. The infographic should:
· Be a one-page visual representation of about Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIS)
· Identify common types of HAIs (healthcare associated infections)
· Include data or statistics about HAIs
· Describe prevention strategies for HAIs
Nursing Ethics
The Code of Ethics for Nurses of 2015, given by American Nurses Association (ANA), outlines the ethical basis for the nursing profession. It contains nine provisions, which cover the nurses' responsibilities toward the patients, maintenance of their personal professional growth, and their responsibilities to the profession and community.

The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by Peter Drucker. Ducker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services (CFI, 2019). He emphasized that due to the high level of productivity and creativity of knowledge worker, that they would be the most valuable assets in the 21st century organization. Professionals that can be referred to as knowledge worker includes engineers, pharmacists, architects, financial analysts, public accountants, physicians, scientists, design thinkers, and lawyers. Furthermore, knowledge workers have a high degree of expertise, experience, education and the primary purpose of their jobs involve the distribution, creation and application of knowledge.

Nursing Informatics
Nursing Informatics is a subset of informatics, specific to the nursing field and the role of the nurse in the healthcare setting. There has been several interpretation of nursing informatics. The American Nurses Association (ANA), identified nursing informatics as a specialty that integrates nursing, science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice (ANA, 2001, pg.17).

Nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
A nurse leader is one who inspire others to work together to achieve a common goal, for instance enhanced patient care or satisfaction. All nurses are called to nurse leadership, however there are different levels of nurse leadership. Nurse leaders are expected to help the organization to fulfill the organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategies to achieve long-range plans. Nurse leaders part take in policy setting, overseeing quality measures are carried out, accountability for overall quality of patient care delivery, staff satisfaction and organizational outcomes. For a nurse leader as a knowledge worker to be productive in an organization, the nurse leader must understand that knowledge work requires continuous learning on the part of the knowledge worker, but equally continuous teaching on the part of the knowledge worker. Having said that, a knowledge worker nurse leader will depend hugely on evidenced based practice to be productive in a healthcare organization. The use of EBP by knowledge worker nurse leader will require learning and teaching. Most healthcare organizations or hospitals rely on evidenced based.

Patient Safety Culture in hospitals.
Introduction.
Patient safety is an issue of global public health concern. It refers to preventing patients from harm by implementing a care system that contains errors and learns from medical errors to build a safety culture involving healthcare workers, patients, and healthcare organizations. The safety of patients is critical in care quality. Many patients worldwide have suffered injuries, disabilities, and death due to medical errors or unsafe care. Patient safety culture can be defined as healthcare organizations' values about what is essential and how to operate to protect patients. To achieve a safe culture, organizations and their members must understand the values, norms, and beliefs about essential and attitudes and behaviors related to patient safety (Ali et al., 2018).
To achieve a culture of safety, organizations should emphasize addressing disparities in the quality of care because the current challenges may worsen the efforts to narrow the gap. The key issues in establishing and providing accessible, responsive, and effective health systems are quality and safety. Poor quality and unsafe patient care increase mortality and morbidity rates throughout the world. About 75% of the healthcare delivery gaps are preventable, and approximately 10% of inpatient admission result from preventable patient harm (Amiri et al., 2018).
Patient safety cultures with strong collaboration and leadership drive and prioritize safety (Wu et al., 2019). Strong leadership and commitment from manger are essential because their attitudes and actions influence the wider workforce's behaviors, perceptions, and attitudes. The other important aspects of patient safety culture include; effective communication, mutual trust, shared views on the importance of patient safety, engaging the healthcare workforce, acknowledging mistakes, and having a system that recognizes, responds, and gives feedback on adverse events (Alquwez et al., 2018). Patient safety culture is influenced by burnouts, hospital characteristics, communication, position, work area, commitment to the patient safety program, leadership, and patient safety resources and management.
Thesis statement.
Patient safety culture focuses on safety in health care by emphasizing the prevention, reporting, and investigation of medical errors that may cause patients' adverse effects, thus reducing harm by implementing necessary measures. Several factors are affecting the culture of patient safety in hospitals. This paper highlights patient safety culture and the factors affecting patient safety culture in public hospitals.

Student #1 (John):
Within the social work research, the following evaluation strategies can be defined: scientific-experimental, management-oriented, qualitative-anthropological and client-oriented (Osis, 2016). The scientific-experimental approach is aimed primarily at the development of the social work science and the client-oriented approach features more applied nature and is used to implement changes in the society. The management-oriented methodology helps to evaluate the effectiveness and performance of social institutions and the qualitative-anthropological connects the historical and modern observations of changes within the society.
Given the nowadays tendencies, the new field for social research emerged. These are social networks, where users leave personal information, interact with each other and comment on different political, economic or cultural events. According to the Code of Ethics for social workers, when evaluating or conducting research with the use of any technologies they should receive informed consent of the participants and ensure their confidentiality. It is essential to secure safety and prevent any harm or damage to participants` physical and mental health (NASW Code of Ethics, 2017). Another change of research environment pertains to multicultural and multiethnic societies. In these terms, the key principle for social workers should be social justice, as it encompasses social welfare for everyone (Chukwu, 2015). They should pay more attention to cultural and ethnic differences and include these insights to their researches and evaluations. “Social workers can also use research for policy reform efforts by critically examining legal and public discourse and the extent to which they comply with human rights principles” (Maschi, Youdin, Sutfin & Simpson, 2012). Currently, social workers act as the main promoters and champions of human rights and social justice.
In order to be able to provide highly qualified research or evaluation, the skills should feature transferability. It means that social practitioners should able to explain how their activity is informed by their knowledge base and being able to apply their knowledge and skills to new situations through appraising what is general and what is particular in each situation (Trevithick, 2000). The theory and practice should be effectively combined. Moreover, the special approach to the terminology should be used. It means changing terms of patient, case or subject to a client, person or consumer. Similarly, it is better to use an assessment or evaluation than diagnosis, study or examination (Cournoyer, 2017). The appropriate theoretical frame.

POST 1
According to Cleary and Hunt, (2011), recent studies have shown the majority of nursing doctoral candidates are female, clinically experienced, and in their 40s or 50s at the time of starting their PhD. Based on that criteria, this writer fits exactly into that criteria. It is noted that other disciplines tend to start doctoral training much earlier (Cleary & Hunt, 2011). As a practicing nurse of 30 years, most of it as an Associate Degree nurse the recognition of the PhD nurse was seen as a profession in a nursing league of their own. According to Michael and Clochesy, (2016), the PhD in nursing was predominant throughout the 20th century with members of the academic nursing community recognizing the need for the development of knowledge to inform practice and to promote the credibility of the profession. Nursing theorists such as Jean Watson and Patricia Benner were game changers in the industry of theoretical nursing. The ability in achieving higher levels of education and in conducting research are hallmarks of professionalism (Houser, 2018).
This writer has a passion for teaching students and wants to be the best instructor she can be. She chose to go down the path of the PhD in Nursing education to increase skills and knowledge to improve what is delivered to students every day. The PhD is being pursued to separate myself from the growing amount of DNP faculty that she works with daily. Being an alumni with Walden University for the MSN, it was an easy choice to pick Walden University for the terminal degree. Michael and Clochesy, (2016), states the PhD and DNP represent complementary and alternative approaches to the highest level of educational preparation in nursing. PhD programs prepare nurse scientists to conduct original research and to generate knowledge that may be broadly applicable or generalizable using advanced research designs and statistical evaluative methods. Conversely, DNP programs prepare students for advanced specialty practice at a high level of complexity with a concurrent focus on the development of knowledge and skills required for translation of evidence to improve health outcomes and health care delivery (Michael & Clochesy, 2016).
Michael and Clochesy, (2016), also states two of the main reasons for not completing a doctoral program are financial and family stresses. Strategic plans must include financial considerations (e.g., research costs), support systems and a systemic approach to the d.

Executive Summary
Medication error being a systematic problem is not a new case. It is something that nurses and other healthcare providers have experienced. The error could be a result of recurring issues of just human error. It could also lead to more severe injuries where the patient could find themselves with a new condition such as itching rashes or skin problems that could either be temporary or permanent. These medication errors could even lead to death in some cases, significantly hurting the patient's family, especially when they know that the death of their loved one could have been prevented. It could make the healthcare provider responsible for the error start doubting themselves and start feeling guilty and ashamed for the action. It could even lead to depression throughout their life. If the deceased's family decides to file a lawsuit against the nurse or the one who was responsible, it could result in them losing their license. Medication errors can also impact the hospital where the healthcare provider is working, and patients even lose trust in the kind of treatment offered in that hospital. The occurrence of medication errors could cause the organization not to achieve its goals and objectives of providing quality care to patients for better results. Since human is to error, a medication error of not greater than 5% is allowed, but currently, it is at 39.5% (Barker et al. 2020)
As a nursing leader, I would recommend using various strategies to help minimize the occurrence of such medication errors in the future. The management should make it their responsibility to establish a safety culture and constantly report the current system and how it is performing. Healthcare providers should understand that humans are to error, and no one is to be blamed or receive a harsh form of punishment. The healthcare provider responsible for the medication error should acknowledge their mistake and report to the nursing leaders or the supervisor in charge to ensure patient safety before things get worse.
Nursing is a vital profession in the healthcare sector, mainly concerned with providing quality care to individuals and families. However, it has been discovered that there is a gap between the expected outcomes and the actual results. As a nursing leader, I will present the matter before other executive leaders to ensure care has been improved. Even though care is the primary concern of nurses, other healthcare providers should also work to ensure quality and safety outcomes. It is the responsibility of every individual in the organization. They should ensure to utilize evidence-based information and apply this knowledge to assess the ability of the entire organization to provide evidence-based care delivery.

Summary of Skills
For the development of an organization to be successful and effectively achieve set goals and objectives, strong management and organization skills will be required (Bateman & Snell, 2007). Our Team A brings a broad spectrum of skills and talents coming from life, educational and work-related experiences. Each member of the team possesses unique skill sets that will bring fresh ideas, techniques and creative solutions to challenges in the development of our consulting firm.
A thorough evaluation of our team member’s skills, suggests that our key strengths lie within teamwork and dedication, creating presentations, critical thinking, problem-solving techniques, communication, research, and observations. With these skills, this team will be able to successfully achieve most tasks necessary in the development of a consulting firm. This team will need to use these skills to collaborate efforts in a cooperative manner to create, plan, develop and accomplish the goals of the consulting firm. This evaluation also portrays a strong dedication to learning and improving which is beneficial in the development of new skills that may be needed.
Most members of our team currently have educational and professional experience that proves an intense desire to improve and advocate change and educate communities to collaborate an effort enhancing the lives of individuals. This desire will effectively promote positive changes both within communities as well as at a societal level. The team’s overall commitment is to meet basic human needs through education, focusing on identification of challenges and prevention, as well as assist in overcoming personal and organizational obstacles that individuals may face. Our team is committed to improving the overall quality of life through advocacy and action.
The first type of consulting firm that we could possibly work with would be a human services/independent living consulting program. This program would collaborate with a client’s care givers, doctors and independent care organizations to assist in facilitating a client’s independence and improve or maintain health. This consulting firm would collaborate efforts to create an independent, long-term care plan that will enhance the develop of daily living skills, educate on services and programs available, exercise the right to make healthy living choices, and encourage pro-active involvement of all care-giving professionals in the pursuit of personal growth, presence, and participation in the long term care process. This program will improve and emphasis respect and dignity through the promotion of independence.

Improving the Work Environment
Improving the work environment within a hospital facility is a primary goal that overlooked at by nurse leaders and other healthcare managers. Even nurses focus on the welfare of the patients and sometimes forget to look into their own well-being. The management which sometimes includes stakeholders is usually so fixated on the clients that they overlook the well-being of the nurses who do most of the care giving. The focus is on the outcome and ignores the people in the process. As a result, nurses experience tough challenges that even complicate and make them unable to perform their duties the way they should (Committee on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Initiative on the Future of Nursing, at the Institute of Medicine, & Institute of Medicine, 2014).
Statement of the problem
The environment that nurses work is full of traumatic events that also affect the nurses psychologically. They deal with sick children, burn victims, the dying cancer patients who are people in extreme pain. They are not immune to this human suffering. They struggle with depression, grief, and loss as well. The sad assumption made is that it is a job and they should somehow not be affected, but in most cases they are. The issues they see on a daily basis slowly eats away on their sanity and sometimes results in depression or even addiction. About ten percent of the nurses working in the United States are on drugs as a coping mechanism for the trauma they experience on a daily basis (Finkelman, 2018).
Besides, their state of mind is made worse by doctors who look down upon their jobs and use inappropriate language or sexually abuse the nurses. Nurses have to cater to all kinds of patients including some very passive aggressive and narcissistic patients who continually frustrate them to such a considerable extent. They are insulted, spat on, vomited on, even defecated on, and nobody cares to take care of their mental well-being after such painful experiences. The empathy that they give on a daily basis is never reciprocated back to them.
Thirdly, the occupational health and safety are not adequately considered. Many nurses report joint pains, back, and other issues right after a shift. In worst case scenarios nurses are overworked and majorly understaffed. The work they do is seldom recognized as much as the doctors’. They are often ignored and looked down upon. This results in low job satisfaction and poor motivation for work (Jones et al., 2012). It leads to a compromise of the quality of care they give to patents and n addition the low motivation may result in errors. Burnouts are the primary cause of failures in healthcare facilities. It leads to depression and low morale even for life give that the nature of their w.

Best Practices in Team Interactions
Abstract
Why we have teams who are successful and others being unsuccessful? What real criteria or attributes are required for success? So contemporary teaching as well learning practice, including training over the years in higher education institutions has promoted great learning and individuals making use of the provided guidance have shown collaboration and achieved team success. This has thus promoted the requirement for identifying critical attributes needed for building successful teamwork.
This paper states examples of individuals who worked for identifying basic principles and set expectations for promoting coordinated contributions among various participants during the care process. It is therefore intended to provide the common reference points for guiding coordinated collaboration among the health professionals as well as patients and their families, helping to accelerate the inter-professional team-oriented care.
Teams in the health care take many roles, for example, we have disaster response teams along with teams that perform emergency operations as well as hospital teams providing care to acutely ill patients and the teams that care for people staying at home and also comprising of office-based care teams, teams centered to one clinician and patient, geographically disparate teams that tend to care for ambulatory patients and the teams that comprise of the patient and their loved ones along with the coordination of various supporting health professionals. Teams in health care therefore comprise to be large or small or are centralized or even dispersed as well as virtual or face-to-face depending on the tasks assigned. (Grumbach K, Bodenheimer, 2004).
Evolution of teams in health care
Health care is usually not recognized as being a team sport but it certainly needs to be. In the past individuals were cared for the one all-knowing doctor who basically lived within their community and used to visit their home and was also available during th ...
The idea of strategy- a plan designed to achieve a goal – origin.docxarnoldmeredith47041
The idea of strategy- a plan designed to achieve a goal – originated in the military. Strategy is often confused with tactics, which are specific actions taken to achieve a goal. Strategy is also often confused with objectives. Objectives are long-term performance and outcome goals. Strategy is more comprehensive than tactics and objectives; it is an over- arching plan. Strategic planning can and should occur in an organization at many levels. For example, marketing strategy is an overarching plan that enables an organization to concentrate its limited resources on its greatest opportunities to increase sales, attain its goals, and sustain a competitive advantage (Baker 2008, 3). It is informed by careful analysis of the organization’s internal and external environments by the organization’s marketing research process. Finally, strategies at all organizational levels must align with and support the organization’s mission, vision, and values. This chapter begins with a discussion of mission, vision, and values in healthcare organizations and concludes with an explanation of the important role that healthcare marketing plays in achieving an organization’s mission and vision and living its values.
Mission and Vision
An organization’s mission statement is essential to its ongoing success (Bart and Tabone 1998). At the least, an organization’s mission statement should help to distinguish it from other organizations (Griffith 1988). At its best, a mission statement is the embodiment and self-image of an organization. The mission expresses the highest goals of an organization and provides strategic direction (Wiggins, Hatzenbuehler, and Peterson 2008). An organization without a clear, achievable mission is like a traveler without a road map. You seem to be making good time, but you don’t really know where you are going to end up.
In today’s increasingly competitive healthcare industry, it is imperative that mission-driven healthcare organizations—whether hospitals, physician practices, long-term care facilities, durable medical equipment distributors, or pharmaceutical companies—be able to achieve and maintain a clear, identifiable reputation; name recognition; and competitive advantage. What, if anything, distinguishes one hospital from all other hospitals, one pharmaceutical firm from another, or one group of physicians from any other group of physicians? For many decades, this need to set one’s organization apart from all other organizations of a similar nature was greatly hampered by the healthcare industry’s misunderstanding of—and disdain for—marketing. Indeed, a 2005 study of hospital mission statements found that nearly all contained similar language and claims regarding their commitment to the provision of high-quality care (Bolon 2005). In a 2008 study, researchers searched a random sample of hospital mission statements for key words associated with interest in and commitment to education and found that the missions of 21 of the 81 (26 .

Socialization
To begin the process of socialization, having a clear understanding of the definition of nursing is essential. We know what nurses do, but how do we define nursing? Why is defining nursing important? To answer this last question, defining nursing is important for several reasons:To differentiate nursing from other professions.To define our practiceTo provide guidelines for nursing educationTo make nursing visible to the public and policy makers
While there may be multiple definitions of nursing from professional organization and state boards of nursing, similar characteristics can be found in all of them.
The American Nurses Association offers the following definition:
Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.
Knowing what nursing is, supports your move into the nursing role. Socialization is the process of internalizing knowledge, skills, attitudes and other concepts needed to function in a role. You have been socialized into your current role. However, after graduating with your BSN, there will be another socialization process as you take on the broader role of the nurse with a BSN. Another way of describing the socialization process is Patricia Benner’s (1984) novice to expert stages. Some of you may be familiar with Benner’s work through your facilities clinical ladder. Socialization of the professional nurse involves developing your knowledge and skills and interacting with other nurses who act as mentors. Throughout the education process, students encounter a variety of socializing agents, including faculty, classmates, colleagues and other healthcare professionals, patients, and family, who subsequently contribute to the formation of a professional self-identify (Lai & Lim, 2012, p. 32).

Another way of describing the socialization process is Patricia Benner’s (1984) novice to expert stages. Some of you may be familiar with Benner’s work through your facilities clinical ladder. Socialization of the professional nurse involves developing your knowledge and skills and interacting with other nurses who act as mentors. Throughout the education process, students encounter a variety of socializing agents, including faculty, classmates, colleagues and other healthcare professionals, patients, and family, who subsequently contribute to the formation of a professional self-identify (Lai & Lim, 2012, p. 32).
Instructions
You are a licensed practice nurse (LPN) collaborating with a registered nurse (RN) for hospital-wide in-service on healthcare associated infections (HAI). After the in-service, a representative from each hospital department will receive an infographic to post in their respective unit. Your job is to create an infographic on preventing HAIs. The infographic should:
· Be a one-page visual representation of about Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIS)
· Identify common types of HAIs (healthcare associated infections)
· Include data or statistics about HAIs
· Describe prevention strategies for HAIs
Nursing Ethics
The Code of Ethics for Nurses of 2015, given by American Nurses Association (ANA), outlines the ethical basis for the nursing profession. It contains nine provisions, which cover the nurses' responsibilities toward the patients, maintenance of their personal professional growth, and their responsibilities to the profession and community.

Purpose
Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
The concept of a knowledge worker
The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by Peter Drucker. Ducker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services (CFI, 2019). He emphasized that due to the high level of productivity and creativity of knowledge worker, that they would be the most valuable assets in the 21st century organization. Professionals that can be referred to as knowledge worker includes engineers, pharmacists, architects, financial analysts, public accountants, physicians, scientists, design thinkers, and lawyers. Furthermore, knowledge workers have a high degree of expertise, experience, education and the primary purpose of their jobs involve the distribution, creation and application of knowledge.

Nursing Informatics
Nursing Informatics is a subset of informatics, specific to the nursing field and the role of the nurse in the healthcare setting. There has been several interpretation of nursing informatics. The American Nurses Association (ANA), identified nursing informatics as a specialty that integrates nursing, science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice (ANA, 2001, pg.17).

Nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
A nurse leader is one who inspire others to work together to achieve a common goal, for instance enhanced patient care or satisfaction. All nurses are called to nurse leadership, however there are different levels of nurse leadership. Nurse leaders are expected to help the organization to fulfill the organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategies to achieve long-range plans. Nurse leaders part take in policy setting, overseeing quality measures are carried out, accountability for overall quality of patient care delivery, staff satisfaction and organizational outcomes. For a nurse leader as a knowledge worker to be productive in an organization, the nurse leader must understand that knowledge work requires continuous learning on the part of the knowledge worker, but equally continuous teaching on the part of the knowledge worker. Having said that, a knowledge worker nurse leader will depend hugely on evidenced based practice to be productive in a healthcare organization. The use of EBP by knowledge worker nurse leader will require learning and teaching. Most healthcare organizations or hospitals rely on evidenced based.

Patient Safety Culture in hospitals.
Introduction.
Patient safety is an issue of global public health concern. It refers to preventing patients from harm by implementing a care system that contains errors and learns from medical errors to build a safety culture involving healthcare workers, patients, and healthcare organizations. The safety of patients is critical in care quality. Many patients worldwide have suffered injuries, disabilities, and death due to medical errors or unsafe care. Patient safety culture can be defined as healthcare organizations' values about what is essential and how to operate to protect patients. To achieve a safe culture, organizations and their members must understand the values, norms, and beliefs about essential and attitudes and behaviors related to patient safety (Ali et al., 2018).
To achieve a culture of safety, organizations should emphasize addressing disparities in the quality of care because the current challenges may worsen the efforts to narrow the gap. The key issues in establishing and providing accessible, responsive, and effective health systems are quality and safety. Poor quality and unsafe patient care increase mortality and morbidity rates throughout the world. About 75% of the healthcare delivery gaps are preventable, and approximately 10% of inpatient admission result from preventable patient harm (Amiri et al., 2018).
Patient safety cultures with strong collaboration and leadership drive and prioritize safety (Wu et al., 2019). Strong leadership and commitment from manger are essential because their attitudes and actions influence the wider workforce's behaviors, perceptions, and attitudes. The other important aspects of patient safety culture include; effective communication, mutual trust, shared views on the importance of patient safety, engaging the healthcare workforce, acknowledging mistakes, and having a system that recognizes, responds, and gives feedback on adverse events (Alquwez et al., 2018). Patient safety culture is influenced by burnouts, hospital characteristics, communication, position, work area, commitment to the patient safety program, leadership, and patient safety resources and management.
Thesis statement.
Patient safety culture focuses on safety in health care by emphasizing the prevention, reporting, and investigation of medical errors that may cause patients' adverse effects, thus reducing harm by implementing necessary measures. Several factors are affecting the culture of patient safety in hospitals. This paper highlights patient safety culture and the factors affecting patient safety culture in public hospitals.

Student #1 (John):
Within the social work research, the following evaluation strategies can be defined: scientific-experimental, management-oriented, qualitative-anthropological and client-oriented (Osis, 2016). The scientific-experimental approach is aimed primarily at the development of the social work science and the client-oriented approach features more applied nature and is used to implement changes in the society. The management-oriented methodology helps to evaluate the effectiveness and performance of social institutions and the qualitative-anthropological connects the historical and modern observations of changes within the society.
Given the nowadays tendencies, the new field for social research emerged. These are social networks, where users leave personal information, interact with each other and comment on different political, economic or cultural events. According to the Code of Ethics for social workers, when evaluating or conducting research with the use of any technologies they should receive informed consent of the participants and ensure their confidentiality. It is essential to secure safety and prevent any harm or damage to participants` physical and mental health (NASW Code of Ethics, 2017). Another change of research environment pertains to multicultural and multiethnic societies. In these terms, the key principle for social workers should be social justice, as it encompasses social welfare for everyone (Chukwu, 2015). They should pay more attention to cultural and ethnic differences and include these insights to their researches and evaluations. “Social workers can also use research for policy reform efforts by critically examining legal and public discourse and the extent to which they comply with human rights principles” (Maschi, Youdin, Sutfin & Simpson, 2012). Currently, social workers act as the main promoters and champions of human rights and social justice.
In order to be able to provide highly qualified research or evaluation, the skills should feature transferability. It means that social practitioners should able to explain how their activity is informed by their knowledge base and being able to apply their knowledge and skills to new situations through appraising what is general and what is particular in each situation (Trevithick, 2000). The theory and practice should be effectively combined. Moreover, the special approach to the terminology should be used. It means changing terms of patient, case or subject to a client, person or consumer. Similarly, it is better to use an assessment or evaluation than diagnosis, study or examination (Cournoyer, 2017). The appropriate theoretical frame.

POST 1
According to Cleary and Hunt, (2011), recent studies have shown the majority of nursing doctoral candidates are female, clinically experienced, and in their 40s or 50s at the time of starting their PhD. Based on that criteria, this writer fits exactly into that criteria. It is noted that other disciplines tend to start doctoral training much earlier (Cleary & Hunt, 2011). As a practicing nurse of 30 years, most of it as an Associate Degree nurse the recognition of the PhD nurse was seen as a profession in a nursing league of their own. According to Michael and Clochesy, (2016), the PhD in nursing was predominant throughout the 20th century with members of the academic nursing community recognizing the need for the development of knowledge to inform practice and to promote the credibility of the profession. Nursing theorists such as Jean Watson and Patricia Benner were game changers in the industry of theoretical nursing. The ability in achieving higher levels of education and in conducting research are hallmarks of professionalism (Houser, 2018).
This writer has a passion for teaching students and wants to be the best instructor she can be. She chose to go down the path of the PhD in Nursing education to increase skills and knowledge to improve what is delivered to students every day. The PhD is being pursued to separate myself from the growing amount of DNP faculty that she works with daily. Being an alumni with Walden University for the MSN, it was an easy choice to pick Walden University for the terminal degree. Michael and Clochesy, (2016), states the PhD and DNP represent complementary and alternative approaches to the highest level of educational preparation in nursing. PhD programs prepare nurse scientists to conduct original research and to generate knowledge that may be broadly applicable or generalizable using advanced research designs and statistical evaluative methods. Conversely, DNP programs prepare students for advanced specialty practice at a high level of complexity with a concurrent focus on the development of knowledge and skills required for translation of evidence to improve health outcomes and health care delivery (Michael & Clochesy, 2016).
Michael and Clochesy, (2016), also states two of the main reasons for not completing a doctoral program are financial and family stresses. Strategic plans must include financial considerations (e.g., research costs), support systems and a systemic approach to the d.

Respond
This week we explore the importance of utilizing the appropriate resources and scheduling. A fundamental aspect of project management is the ability to identify available resources and outside resources that may be needed for successful project management. In order to follow the implementation plan, deadlines, and financial funding, a project manager must know what physical and human resources to use. Project management requires extensive planning and use of resources in order to receive approval, educate staff members, and recieve increased approval of staff (Karakashian & Schub, 2017).
Some human resources that will be concerning to secure or manage are nursing leadership roles such as the CFO or CNO, as they are often busy but will be dependent on their approval and financial backing to move forward. Human resources and a nurse educator will also be responsible for nurse recruitment and setting up training programs and shared governance models. Another human resource is contractors to facilitate and schedule renovations and expansions. Lastly, securing a nurse informatics specialist might also be difficult as they are limited and in high demand. This role is essential in implementing acuity-based programming. Some physical resources that a project manager must secure are available time, new software systems, online resources that provide evidence-based information and guidelines, new equipment, and change management frameworks (Schub & Walsh, 2017).
I look forward to reading everyone’s post on resource management in project management, and seeing the different resources available that I may have overlooked. Thank you.

The PICOT question that is proposed for my final project:
P: Are patients that are in the hospital who receive patient education lead to an increase in HCAPHS scores? I: with education to the staff and updated documentation policies, C: As opposed to those that do not? O: Increase HCAPHs scores and decreased readmissions at 30 days T: over 12 months.
Information that will need to be obtained includes what our current HCAPHS, the readmission rate and diagnosis of the patients are. What the cost of the current stay is on all the different levels of the hospital. How does HCAPHS affect reimbursement? What is the baseline documentation being done on education and care plans? The survey’s on the staff’s perception of what needs to be documented. How much time and what the cost of the hourly staff chosen to audit compliance of patient documentation of education and care plans. As one audits charge, there is a need to try and identify what are the deficits in the education and is there a correlation to the patient being readmitted to the facility (Burnett, Lee, Doherty, Suh, Kim, …, Choi, & Suh, 2018). The difficult part of my PICOT questions is that much of the information is subjective instead of objective. From my project, my true hope is that the policies of the organization will be updated with what is expected and that the staff will be educated on the proper way of documenting in the chart. One of my biggest concerns is that many do not give themselves enough information even to remember a patient or situation if that chart is ever brought to court for some reason.

Roussel, Thomas, and Harris (2017) report that a microsystem analysis includes five P’s of purpose, populations, processes, patterns, and providers. A comprehensive analysis using a standardized approach to high light opportunities for improvement. Our purpose is to find the cause of the increase in malpractice claims and improve patient outcomes. The population is patients with operative procedures using Davinci robotics. The process is the Davinci robotic procedure. Next, patterns to narrow the search to understand cause and the providers are the nursing staff working in the OR. Jones, Polancich, Steaban, Feistritzer, and Poe believe quality and patient safety requires efforts from all nursing leadership. The nurse executive (CNO) is paramount to the team and drives the vision of nursing to deliver safe, quality, efficient, patient-centered care (2017, p.186). The leadership skills of CNO are necessary to achieve high-quality patient care and excellent clinical outcomes (Jones, Polancich, Steaban, Feistritzer, & Poe). The CNO establishes the direction and identifies goals to provide the foundation for strategic planning.
The first action as a leadership team is to determine if all the claims revolve around the same type of issues by gathering data on the claims. I will meet with the quality team and nursing leaders to identify the issues. Once we study the data then we will determine how to proceed. Does it appear to be a process issue or a person issue? Is there a lack of knowledge? From the data, we find a trend with procedures done by Davinci robotic surgeries. The clinical nurse leader will observe a Davinci surgery to examine the workflow process to determine areas of opportunity. The process is mapped out in detail to determine areas of concern. It was found that Davinci procedures are now being performed with new equipment. The data is further examined to determine a pattern. Is the data related to a process, structural, or outcomes-based to decide what needs to be improved? We must decide if there is a flaw in the procedure or equipment. Finally, we look at the staff and their experience, education, and familiarity with the procedure and equipment. Is there a knowledge-based error? We know from our previous reports that staffing has been a concern and there are many new RNs working in the OR. We look at the roles of all staff associated with the procedure including the providers. The data shows that many newer nurses may be unfamiliar with the use of the new equipment, so we have an area of opportunity to educate and train the staff. The education plan, communication plan, and timeline will be developed and shared. This communication will explain the plans for the change and allow for additional input if necessary. Physicians and key stakeholders will also need to be informed about the change in advance of implementation. This gives time for additional training of physicians and ancillary staff. Listening to the feedback.
Respond The medical center where I work is a large teaching.docxwilfredoa1
Respond
The medical center where I work is a large teaching institution in New York City is made up of 7 hospitals. They believe in educating the next generation of health care professionals, developing groundbreaking research, advancing innovative, patient-centered clinical care and serving the needs of our local, national and global community. The vision of the institution is to be the #1 academic health system in the nation in high-quality patient centered care, education and research. The culture is based on respect, teamwork, innovation, empathy, excellence and responsibility.
The mission and vision is reflected in the organizational culture and leadership through their behaviors. How leadership chooses to do their job everyday demonstrates the core values of the organization. My personal philosophy of nursing is based on respect. Patient care suffers when nurses are not respected (Stievano, Bellass, Rocco, Olsen, Sabatino, & Johnson, 2018). It is crucial that nurses operate in a moral work environment that involves respect to improve patient outcomes (Stievano, et al., 2018). The hospital’s Credo is based on respect. This is how my project aligns with the core values of the institution.
One theoretical approach to understanding how change may be achieved is Rogers’ diffusion model. He argues that certain characteristics of the innovation itself may facilitate its adoption. Factors influencing acceptance include promotion by influential role models, the degree of complexity of the change, compatibility with existing values and needs, and the ability to test and modify the new procedure before adopting it (Mohammadi, Poursaberi, & Salahshoor, 2018).
Current research suggests that the most effective communication strategy is face-to-face exchange (Mohammadi, Poursaberi, & Salahshoor, 2018). It provides an opportunity to tailor information to recipients and allows the advocate of the change to explore and, if necessary, modify the reasons why a shift in clinical behaviour should occur. Interpersonal communication is usually more effective when there is a high degree of professional resemblance between the individual attempting to introduce the innovation and the recipient (Mohammadi, Poursaberi, & Salahshoor, 2018).
Luckily, I think it will be relatively easy to implement changes related to a healthy work environment. I believe the majority of people want to work in an environment that is positive, supportive and frowns on bullying and incivility. Through communication as well as role modeling proper behaviors, Rogers’s diffusion of innovation framework will assist in the transformation.

respond The ability to communicate effectively is a critical.docxwilfredoa1
respond
The ability to communicate effectively is a critical skill for nurse leaders (Roussel, Thomas & Harris, 2016). In the healthcare setting such as a hospital, nurses work various shifts, and communication can be challenging. Nurse leaders will need to utilize fundamental communication skills to achieve organizational goals (Roussel et al.,2016). There are various traditional ways that leaders can communicate with their staff, such as through emails, text, or even instant messaging (Roussel et al., 2016). Leaders are also finding creative ways to connect with every team members, so the message remains consistent.
One strategy that I would use as a leader to improve communication and empower the members of my team working various shifts is to restructure team huddles. The huddle is a quick meeting given while standing that last approximately fifteen minutes (Johnson, 2018). The huddles can also occur at any time of the day (Johnson, 2018). Providing huddles at various times of the day will allow effective communication with members of the team that works on various days and shifts.
Also, because everyone is assembled, it allows staff to participate in a discussion and give feedback on the information shared. Another way to share information about the magnet designations is to have it displayed as screen savers on the computers nurses use to document. The messaging on the computer screen is a strategy that is used at my workplace to update the employees on new initiatives, and it is useful.
Another strategy is establishing a bulletin board where the staff spends time, such as the break room, nurse’s station, or even restrooms. Ensuring the messaging reaches everyone helps make each member feel part of the team. Another strategy would include leadership rounding. The leader could visit and meet with staff members and provide updates and share information on the magnet designation.

EXPERIENCE
:
The Reduction in workforce paper explored the knowledge and the decision making process required to plan and execute the organizational changes at Roxboro Medical Center. The job of restructuring and reducing the workforce of an organization will always significantly impact the staff. In the setting that we were given, the CNO was tasked with reducing nursing leadership by 30%. Human resources provided guidelines and additional information to assist in the decision making process. It is especially important for key stakeholders to be involved from the outset of the process to assure organizational policy and procedure are adhered to.
The model that was chosen for this organizational staff reduction is Kotter’s change model which relies on stepwise planning and implementation of a strategic plan on a short timeline while also promising ownership for employees. Faced with the development of a plan to reduce the organization's workforce, it is the responsibility of management to use an approach that strengthens the organizational mission and values. Transparency, sensitivity, and open communication are essential and will allow staff members to better understand the decision making process during this challenging time. To assure the buy-in of the staff, the change model that is used to research and plan for the staff reduction must incorporate proven rationales and reassurance of an improved work-life balance along with increasing autonomy and ownership. The organization must remain transparent and communicate openly and often identifying details of the plan and timeline while identifying strategies in order to execute the plan and gain facility-wide acceptance and support.
REFLECTION
:
During the time that I was doing research and writing this paper, the Covid-19 pandemic was surfacing and I actually was faced with making some similar decisions at my own organization. I am a manager in perioperative services and when the Governor placed a moratorium on elective surgeries our caseload decreased by about two thirds. Hospitals face many financial obstacles today and are often forced to use an approach such as staff layoffs to maintain their financial viability (Daniels & Ritter, 2018). The first wave of cuts that I had to make was dismissing all travel staff giving them two weeks’ notice. At this time, I also took all non-benefitted employees off the schedule. Ten days later I realized that we were still overstaffed and cut everyone’s FTE by 25%. Another week passed and our CEO and CNO tasked all managers with cutting our staffing budget by another 20%. Emotions and feelings may affect the initial acceptance of the change due to misconceptions about the process of the reduction in force and when issues of trust exist (Walker & Karau, 2016). This was gut-wrenching for me, I knew how devastating this would be to many of my staff members. Feelings of guilt and being at fault is quite common for managers who are faced with .

respond
Communication is integral in the field of nursing. Nurses act as the hub of communication, relaying and interpreting information between physicians, caregivers, family members and patients. The ability to establish effective communication in nursing is imperative to providing the best care and patient outcomes possible (Bender, Williams, Su, & Hites, 2016). At any workplace, good communication is vital. Effective communication removes obstacles that detract from efficiency and collaboration. As a nurse executive, I should create the structure and processes that facilitate effective communication within in my team. To improve communication to and between team members, my focus would be improving both the content and the coverage of team members’ communication.
To begin with, I would provide role clarity at the workplace. One of the most effective structural ways to improve the content of communication within a team is to invest in role clarity (Marquis & Huston, 2017). It helps everyone on the team know from the beginning which content is most relevant to discuss with different team members. I would promote role clarity by explaining to each employee what metrics will be used to define success in their role. Another way of enhancing communication is by creating an open door policy. This would encourage free communication by removing any potential barriers.
Empowering team members would enable them have the authority or power to execute certain functions. Additionally, empowering people also makes them more confident, for instance, in decision-making (Marquis & Huston, 2017). One major way in which I would empower my team members is by including them in the decision-making process of our healthcare organization. Through this inclusion, their views are likely to be heard by a higher authority.

The Pros and Cons of a Pure Deterrence Theory
As one reviews the application of a pure deterrence theory in America corrections operations today, the absence of empirical evidence in the development of many such theories remains evident. Based on this author’s research and personal observations of local corrections operations in practice, it appears that many pure deterrence programs develop more like a knee jerk response to various challenges within the corrections system. America’s public opinion historical suggests that felonious offenders should be incarcerated through determinate or indeterminate sentencing. The political reaction to public opinion has been to increase incarceration to satisfy safety issues within our communities. Indeed, incarceration does stop that offender from bringing harm to our communities (Cullen, Jonso, & Nagin, 2011). The increased prison populations serve to create overcrowding conditions within prisons, however, which serves to increase violence, more dangers to over-worked corrections personnel, and a resulting increase in parole or felony probation diversion strategies to lessen this burden. One reactive strategy is the use of Intensive Supervision Parole/Probation (ISP) (Hyatt & Barnes, 2017). The question remaining is, how valid is this strategy, and what challenges have arisen within this strategy?
What is Intensive Supervision Parole/Probation ( ISP)?
The theory behind ISP assumes that a specific offender is more prone to recidivism if he or she is awarded the standard probation or parole, which requires minimal reporting such as monthly office visits with the parole/probation officer or even lesser challenging requirements such as phone calls to the officer. ISP, therefore, has arisen as an immediate solution to this challenge. The parolee/probationer is required to submit to more intensive visitation or office visits, drug testing, and other more stringent requirements, which, by design, are perceived to gain more control over the offender, which forces compliance (Hyatt & Barnes, 2017). However, one must ask if this is a pure form of rational emotive behavior therapy, or does it merely delay the inevitable by creating controlled robotic responses? Does history offer examples in intensive parenting controls gone wrong?
Challenges within ISP
The more significant and obvious error within the application of the theory of ISP rests with the increased caseload resulting from the diversion of offenders from incarceration into the parole/probation system. Many states developed parole in absentia program, which is designed to work with offenders with less than a five-year sentence. The offender is released on parole immediately the following sent.

respond
As the nurse executive in an acute care hospital, I welcome collaboration among advanced practice nurses (APN) and the clinical staff for many reasons. Advanced practice nurses can take on acute services, be readily available and in all honesty are far more approachable, accessible and can provide a sense of trust into our patient population when being compared to a PGYI or newer medical student. Often times our medical residents or surgical residents lack empathy and lack a collaborative effort that makes our admissions and discharges flow in less than desired manner. As a whole, the unit gravitates toward reaching out to the APRN for effective communication when placed in a position to communicate between families, patients and our medical teams.
An organizational chart could absolutely be utilized to enhance and improve collaborative communication and facilitate trust among different departments through reflexivity. From the article
Margaret Archer, Modes of Reflexivity: The Structured Agency of Nursing Action,
communicative reflexivity is said to be our inner conversations which required confirmation and communication with others before we act. A nurse who predominantly uses communicative reflexivity will consider what their peers are thinking and will want to act in such a way as to fit in (Goodman, 2017). Although the nursing profession especially as a clinical provider we tend to use our professional critical thinking skills and act on our best nursing judgement, we tend to disconnect from our peers and resources such as the APNs to confirm our actions before we act. Although working together as a team is essential for the unit to function properly in crisis situations, I often times see nurses perform on “auto-pilot”, working independently without collaborative efforts that could be in the best interest of our patient population. Facilitating collaboration between available APNs and clinical staff is essential to improving patient outcomes and building a higher self-esteem among staff. Being validated that our critical thinking, assumptions and interventions are correct from someone with higher level education can be very empowering.

Respond:
The phrase Stare Decisis comes from Latin and means "let the decision stand". It is a doctrine that allows judges to examine previous cases as examples to make decisions about new cases. Stare Decisis is closely connected to the idea of a precedent. This means that if a Supreme Court has previously made a ruling on a similar case, it will use that precedent as a model for another case. However, following a precedent does not necessarily mean that all similar cases will be decided in the same way. Other factors, such as context or changes in societal views, can also influence whether or not a precedent will be followed.
One of the most talked about recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions was the April 2018 decision of Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The case was brought by Mark Janus, a child support specialist who worked for the state government in Illinois. He sued the union, saying he did not agree with its positions and should not be forced to pay fees to support its work. By a 5-to-4 vote, the court ruled that government workers who choose not to join unions may not be required to help pay for collective bargaining. This ruling overruled the court's 1977 decision in Abood v. Detroit Bo.

EXPERIENCE
I had been a bedside nurse for 24 years before I transitioned into my current position as an Accreditation Specialist. I have been in my position a little over two years and due to being a bedside nurse I never had to deal with any budgeting issues. My husband tends to all our personally finances. I honestly have to admit, I am not good with money. My husband is so much better in planning and saving for the future, I have more of a spontaneous personality. I paying more attention and asking more questions to my department manager and director in regards to our budget. They have quarterly leadership meeting where our organizations financial information is discussed. After these meetings, my leaders share the information and are willing to answer any of our questions. They want to be transparent to allow us to be educated and knowledgeable in regards to our organization.
REFLECTION
The pre-conceived notion I had of healthcare financial and budgeting principle is of staffing. I did not realize developing a staffing budget consisted of a certain formula. I was unaware of the number of factors related to identifying the full-time equivalents (FTEs) needed to staff a hospital floor. I now understand that an FTE consisted of 2,080 hours/year for a full-time employee. And patient hours are a major factor, the percentage of direct admits from the emergency room (ER). The budget also has to take into consideration the skill mix needed for your organization.
Two concepts that were very interesting to me were the nonprofit and for-profit concepts. They only difference is that non-profit organizations do not pay taxes. For profit hospitals are owned and operated by financial cooperation’s and have access to larger sums of money when needed. Nonprofit organizations are more community oriented and focuses on what the community needs. They are typically in area that are financially well off but that is not the case for the organization I am affiliated with. My community is poor and Medicaid and Medicare are a high percentage of our reimbursement. Quality verses quantity is always a main focus for us. We do not provide a lot of specialty services but what we offer is quality care with the capability to stabilize and transfer to affiliated hospitals. We like to ensure our patients are receiving quality care not matter where they are sent.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
My proposed project is implementing a sepsis bundle checklist to improve sepsis bundle compliance in the Emergency Department (ED) to improve patient outcomes. This project is not a high cost to the organization. The sepsis bundle checklist can be created by our quality department and once passed through the form committee for approval it can be rolled out for use. The education department will be involved to develop the education for the staff and providers to ensure the checklist is getting implemented correctly. The checklist will be printed in our print shop so each .

Staffing issues have always been a major area of concern within the health field. Adequate staffing affects the patient safety, staff morale and finances of the organization. It’s important that organizations take note of concerns related to their staffing and take the necessary steps to ensure that adequate staffing within the units.
The staffing in my organization varies depending on the unit and level of care or acuity of the patients. For starters, patients enter into the Emergency Department and are typically cared for by a nurse who is assigned a team of 3-4 patients. Nurses who work on the medical/ telemetry units are assigned a 1:6 nurse: patient ratio. Nurses who work on the Intermediate Care or Step Down unit is assigned a 1:3 nurse:patient ratio. ICU and CVICU patients are assigned at a 1:2 or 1:1 nurse to patient ratio.
There could be a number of variables that affects the staffing ratio. The shortage in healthcare professionals is one of the greatest variables affecting the staffing ratios. When there is not enough employees on duty, nurses and nurses assistants are forced to work under staff. Patients and families notice when there is a shortage of staff, and they tend to lose their faith in their provider when they’re working short. It’s important that staff understand the importance of managing up the organization and notify their leader if they are feeling overwhelmed instead of venting to the patients.
As it stands now, my organization has some of the lowest nurse to patient ratios which is currently mandated by the organization itself. Our organization takes pride in patient safety, and focuses on safe quality care as a whole. This staffing ratio affects the organizational budget as a great deal of resources is put into recruiting qualified staff as well as using alternative staffing agencies to assist with nursing and support staff coverage.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Respond As the unit director for the emergency department an.docx
1. Respond
As the unit director for the emergency department and part of an
ad hoc interdisciplinary committee formed to address rise in
medication errors it is important to include all stakeholders to
combat this issue system-wide. Ultimately, stakeholders are
known as our consumers or patients, however, we must take into
consideration the stakeholders of the organization; CNO, nurse
manager, pharmacist technicians, nurses, pharmacists, IT and
any member of the team that has access to medication rooms.
Stakeholders are not chosen by the organization, but rather
stakeholders choose to have a stake in the organization’s
decision making (Marquis & Houston, 2017). It is essential to
include all members of the organization because each individual
has their own vision and view toward their approach to
medication administration, medication verification, and the
technology used to do so.
I’ve worked in both adult health and currently in the
pediatric arena; one major difference to reducing medication
errors between specialties is highly regarding diabetes and
insulin and anticoagulants. To compare the two fields, in the
pediatric field our medication administration is calculated
weight based and in specific the sliding scale protocol is based
on caloric intake per meal. Each syringe of medication is drawn
and sent via tube from pharmacy, nurses are never to draw up
units from vials. This extra precaution and safety measure
(although medication checks are still necessary and double RN
checked) is put in place to reduce complications relating to
insulin administration. Medication errors often times occur
when layers of defense are not implemented correctly, when
teamwork is strong on a unit and resources are available, most
often another team member may catch the error before it occurs,
2. the Swiss Cheese Model illustrates exactly that (Aebersold &
Kalisch, 2016).
As different roles gather to overcome the medication
error prevention ad hoc, we must look into organizational
culture and organizational climate. Organization culture is
known as the total of an organization’s values, language,
traditions customs and certain aspects of the organization that is
not open for change (Marquis & Houston, 2017). With that
being said, the team will utilize effective, respectful
communication and transparency throughout the process.
Approaching medication errors with the intention to learn from
mistakes and find the “swiss cheese” effect is essential in all
departments involved. In short, the organizational culture can
be specific to one organization, including unique ways of
thinking and behavior. On the other hand, organizational
climate is how the organization is perceived. One employee may
perceive the organization in a positive light whereas another
may not. Leadership and management can influence their
employee’s perception of the unit or organization as a whole,
influencing perceptions through effective communication,
leadership style, culture of safety and transparency. Forming a
workplace culture where in the event of medical errors occur,
we must empower our nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacy
techs and others to share the occurrences. Sharing events that
crossed the Swiss Cheese Model which draws attention to the
organizational efforts in reducing disparities, not necessarily
the individual involved.
