Of the leadership theories discussed this week, which one did this nurse leader subscribe to? Why?

            Of the leadership theories discussed this week the Participative (Democratic) style most describes the nurse leader at my workplace. She includes the staff when making decisions and welcomes open group discussions before making final decisions.” A participative management style is pervasive, and staff feedback is not just welcomed but expected by leaders in making decisions about the work of patient care” (Porter-O’Grady, T. 2016 P.17)

How has your experience been with the nurse leader? Provide a description of your interactions with him or her?

           My nurse leader was recently promoted from charge nurse to manager; she’s the perfect person for the job. We’re all enthused that she has this position, she was a floor nurse just months prior and still remembers the challenges we face caring for six patients. Recently I had a confused, anxious, combative, unsteady, high fall risk patient, who lived at home alone. Due to his combative, uncooperative nature the hospital Doctor issued a discharge home to self -care order.  I knew that he was in no condition to go home alone, he would return to the hospital within hours in worst shape. Due to my role and responsibility as my patient’s advocate, I went in to speak to my nurse leader in private and addressed all my concerns. She quickly got the case management supervisor involved in the case and requested a physical therapy evaluation. As a team we were able to prevent an unsafe discharge from hospital.

 

Assignment: Evidence-Based Practice and the Quadruple Aim

Healthcare organizations continually seek to optimize healthcare performance. For years, this approach was a three-pronged one known as the Triple Aim, with efforts focused on improved population health, enhanced patient experience, and lower healthcare costs.

More recently, this approach has evolved to a Quadruple Aim by including a focus on improving the work life of healthcare providers. Each of these measures are impacted by decisions made at the organizational level, and organizations have increasingly turned to EBP to inform and justify these decisions.

To Prepare:

• Read the articles by Sikka, Morath, & Leape (2015); Crabtree, Brennan, Davis, & Coyle (2016); and Kim et al. (2016) provided in the Resources.
• Reflect on how EBP might impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare.
• Consider the impact that EBP may have on factors impacting these quadruple aim elements, such as preventable medical errors or healthcare delivery.

To Complete:

Write a brief analysis (no longer than 2 pages) of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim.

Your analysis should address how EBP might (or might not) help reach the Quadruple Aim, including each of the four measures of:

• Patient experience
• Population health
• Costs
• Work life of healthcare providers

Start by reading and following these instructions:

1. Quickly skim the questions or assignment below and the assignment rubric to help you focus.

2. Read the required chapter(s) of the textbook and any additional recommended resources. Some answers may require you to do additional research on the Internet or in other reference sources. Choose your sources carefully.

3. Consider the discussions and any insights gained from it.

4. Create your Assignment submission and be sure to cite your sources, use APA style as required, check your spelling.

Assignment: This assignment has two parts

Part 1. EBP Research

Locate two research articles on the topic of your choice, but each article needs to use a different research method (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods). First, summarize both articles. Then answer the following questions…

• Which type of research article did you find easier to understand? Explain
• If you had to complete a research project which style would you choose and why?

This section should include 2 outside references and your book. This section should be at least 1000 words.

Part 2. Political Letter

Identify a current state or national healthcare or nursing issues that impact nurses or healthcare. Possible websites to locate an issue would be…

State Nursing Association

American Nursing Association

Specialized Professional Organizations

Once you have found your issue, write a letter to your governor, senator, or congress person. Your letter should be 500 words, in a block format and addresses should be included. Your first paragraph should state the issue. The second paragraph should state how the issue affects you personally as a nurse (avoid medical jargon). The third paragraph should state how the issue affects the community. Your fourth and final paragraph should restate the importance of the issue and thank the individual for their time and attention to the issue.

Your references for the letter should not be cited in your letter, but should be included on a separate reference page.
