Leadership Theories in Practice

A walk through the Business section of any bookstore or a quick Internet search on the topic will reveal a seemingly endless supply of writings on leadership. Formal research literature is also teeming with volumes on the subject.

However, your own observation and experiences may suggest these theories are not always so easily found in practice. Not that the potential isn’t there; current evidence suggests that leadership factors such as emotional intelligence and transformational leadership behaviors, for example, can be highly effective for leading nurses and organizations.

Yet, how well are these theories put to practice? In this Discussion, you will examine formal leadership theories. You will compare these theories to behaviors you have observed firsthand and discuss their effectiveness in impacting your organization.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and examine the leadership theories and behaviors introduced.
  • Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
  • Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.

By Day 3 of Week 4

Post two key insights you had from the scholarly resources you selected. Describe a leader whom you have seen use such behaviors and skills, or a situation where you have seen these behaviors and skills used in practice. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain to what extent these skills were effective and how their practice impacted the workplace.

TASK

Post your initial response to one of the two topics below.

Topic 1: Community-Based Nursing

Nursing services play an important role in caring for patients and families in the community and providing them the support they need. For patients with problems ranging from chronic health conditions to need of elder care, nursing has proved itself an important part of the healthcare team. In fact, many people now prefer sending their elderly parents to a daycare for nursing, rather than to a long-term care facility.

For this topic, interview a community-based nurse or nurse practitioner who sees individuals in the home setting. Describe the nurse’s responses to the following questions:

  • What are your job responsibilities?
  • Does a correlation exist between your job description and your practice?
  • Are you involved in policy formulation that affects client services?
  • Do you belong to a professional organization related to your current job position?

Topic 2: Economics of Health Care

The cost of healthcare in the U.S. is often discussed by the press. Trends in healthcare spending are determined by public and private decisions about health care delivery and reflect the values and beliefs of society and policy makers.

Compare the distribution of healthcare expenses for 2017.

Write a summary of your findings and their meaning in terms of health care spending.

Discussion 6051 M5 W-9 (Patricia}

 

    Generally speaking, Nursing has the largest representation within an acute hospital setting. Nursing is involved in the care of every patient that comes into the hospital. That being said, how nursing document their interactions with patients is a large part of their day. Integrating a new health information technology system should require the input of nursing. Nursing’s input is essential in understanding how the system could require additional workflow changes or updates. Poorly implemented systems can lead to unintended consequences that may have a negative impact on clinical processes and patient outcomes. (Piscotty, 2011)

            When integrating a new system, the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model is used. This cycle has five different stages: Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, and Maintenance. Each of these stages is essential as you integrate new systems. During the analysis phase, the requirements for the system are teased out from a detailed study of the business needs of the organization. As part of this analysis, workflows and business practices are examined. It may be necessary to consider options for changing the business process. (McGonigle, 2017)

            Nursing is especially crucial when you enter into the implementation stage. The system also was tested by three nurses before implementation. To ensure that the nurses could operate the CDSS correctly, a training manual was developed and provided to the nurses 3 weeks before the implementation date. (Lyerla, 2008) Once you have planned, analyzed, and implemented any new system, occasionally maintenance is required. We need to constantly be evaluating our systems to make sure that we are using it effectively and to its max potential.

            During my time at Homestead Hospital, the operating systems were changed. Nursing was not consulted at the hospital level. The decision to change these systems was made at the corporate level and rolled out to the different facilities in stages. Our hospital was the first and the rollout was rough. We had representatives from the OS company to help facilitate the roll-out 24/7 for 1 week. We needed to constantly refer to them whenever we needed to address a concern or be reminded of how to mitigate certain situations. I think that transition would have been a bit smoother if there were training sessions with the staff prior to roll out. Physicians and nursing could have been trained with time before “go live” and a few issues could have been avoided. Any time that changes are made within an existing system or a new one is implemented, there will be hang-ups. Involving those that would be the most significant users helps in finding any conflicts or adjusting workflows prior to them impacting patient care.
