This week we are researching the interest-based approach to conflict and identifying concepts or principles for approaching a successful integrative negotiation. “Integration is an active search for information about facts and interests – motivated by a willingness to find mutually satisfactory agreements – and is usually necessary for creating high-quality settlements in conflicts” (Rognes, 2010). To be able to understand how to avoid win-lose outcomes or impasses, we need knowledge about factors that relate to and promote, integration. In order for that to happen, we need to understand that sometimes it can be explained by someone’s individual differences, their upbringing, and their group differences which can cause high-quality conflicts. I know for me, handling constructive conflicts has been a challenge. for me, sometimes when conflicts get really intense and it escalates, we may hurt each other in the process since there are so many emotions at the moment. Sometimes points aren’t being taken correctly and we get frustrated when that happens. I know when my partner and a conflict it is best to listen and to pay attention and also acknowledge their feelings as we are listening. Help them understand that we are paying attention and that they matter to us. If they didn’t matter then I don’t think you would care to pay attention to anything they had to say.

One approach that can be used to resolve conflict is the interest-based approach. The interest-based approach focuses on needs, wants, values, and goals and not on the individuals, thus enabling the persons to listen to each other’s point of view (Overton & Lowry, 2013). This approach outlines steps that can be taken to resolve conflict by helping the parties involved in conflict better understand each other’s position by behaving courteously and consensually. This approach can be applied to a situation in which there is conflict between persons who have different needs. 

In the case of a manager who needs to order a new machine for his department to run more efficiently, the manager is looking to order one and may not consider the cost of the machine. On the other hand, the person who is the purchasing manager may not be looking to make any new purchases as there is no money in the budget and may argue that the machine is not essential. This can pose a conflict. In this scenario, both parties have different needs and values. By applying this approach, both parties can listen to each other and be able to identify problems.

Use the SWOT Analysis worksheet provided to complete this assignment.

Review the SWOT Analysis PowerPoint® prior to completing this assignment.

Based on the review of the Stevens District Hospital Strategic Planning Scenario, conduct a SWOT analysis to generate a list of perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the hospital.

• Strengths and weaknesses are traits internal to the hospital (i.e., strong physician loyalty to hospital, aging building, and availability of financial resources).
• Opportunities and threats are external to the hospital, such as a mall facility available for lease or a competitor hospital opening two physician practices in your market.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word analysis that incorporates the key components of a SWOT analysis for the scenario described in Week 1 to generate a list of perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The analysis will include the following:

• Analyze the purpose of conducting the analysis in the context of the scenario.
• Analyze the limitations and advantages of conducting a SWOT analysis on your own (vs. with a group of stakeholders).
• Use the table provided to record your analysis of the information from the strategic planning scenario and generate two factors for each of the SWOT categories (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats).

Topic 3:  Healthy People 2020 set a goal that 80% of the people in the U.S. have an optimal amount of fluoridated water available in their community’s water. Today, about 72% of Americans have access to optimally fluoridated water.  Do you know if your community water supply is fluoridated? To find the answer, check with your local water department.  Is the water naturally rich in fluoride, or is this mineral added to the water supply? What amount of fluoride is in the drinking water? If it is added to the water supply, how long has this procedure been in operation? If the water does not provide fluoride, how can you obtain sufficient fluoride?

Identify a workaround (specific to technology used in a hospital setting) that you have used or perhaps seen someone else use, and analyze why you feel this risk-taking behavior was chosen over behavior that conforms to a safety culture. What are the risks? Are there benefits? Why or why not?
2. Discuss the current patient safety characteristics used by your current workplace or clinical site. Identify at least three aspects of your workplace or clinical environment that need to be changed with regard to patient safety (including confidentiality), and then suggest strategies for change.
