Leadership and Management attributes

Evaluate leadership and management attributes that support critical decisions for nursing practice.

Scenario

You have recently started a position as a department director with five managers reporting to you. Earlier today, one of your managers reports that a client expired on her unit. She suspects that a factor that may have contributed to the client’s demise may be related to the actions of a nurse on her unit. This nurse has several notes in her personnel file that reflect potential client abuse. You and the nurse manager both have concerns that this sentinel event must be investigated.

Later in the day, the Chief Nursing Officer asks you to speak to new nurse managers to share attributes of leadership with the plan of enhancing their leadership skills. You see an opportunity to combine the situation of the client with a bad outcome, due to the alleged influence of one of the nurses, while building information to share this real-life situation with new nurse leaders.

Instructions

As a follow up to the investigation of the client’s unexpected death, generate an internal memo to your managers to reflect leadership and management attributes and include steps taken to investigate this unfortunate situation. As you create this memo, keep in mind that you should include:

· At least five leadership and/or management attributes for nurse leaders, as well as how they can improve client outcomes.

· Steps you would take to ensure the collection of data regarding this incident.

· Describe how transformational leadership style may influence the process of investigating this professional nurse colleague that reports to one of your unit managers.

· Provides stated ideas with professional language and attribution for credible sources with correct APA citation, spelling, and grammar.

Industrialized societies

You may be familiar with the fact that the United States is one of the only industrialized societies where healthcare is not something every citizen can count on. Perceptions of healthcare in contemporary society mirror debates you are by now familiar with in social welfare policy contexts—who does society deem “worthy,” where does responsibility lie for social well-being, and who decides the answers to those questions.

In this Discussion, you examine a more recent landmark social welfare policy and consider its context within societal perception and need.

 

  • Review the resources related to the Affordable Care Act and consider issues that the policy raises.
  • Describe the goals of the Affordable Care Act.
  • Is access to healthcare a right or a privilege?
  • How does the historical context of healthcare policy intersect with social justice and the mission of social work?
  • Explain how the clarity, or lack of clarity, around a policy affects the usefulness of that policy for the intended population.

Clinical practice

Think about a familiar clinical practice area where interest groups are attempting to bring about a change in clinical care or systems of service delivery.  Assume new, game-changing research finding are published and received wide attention.

Identify groups that might have an interest in these finding.  What are their likely reactions to new research?
