The United States health care system is lacking in many areas when it is compared to other countries. There are many areas that we can improve where health care is concerned. Even though our health system is not the best our cost for health care continues to rise. Where is our money going? A survey from the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that 55% of American adults barely gave the US health care a passing grade, more than 11% gave the quality of care a fair rating, and 47% felt that the hospital care failed to provide the care that they deserved. Reading this was awful to say the least. How can we fall behind in quality of care in the hospital setting when our goal is to have the best outcome for our patients? Many studies show how there are multiple errors due to lack of communication and misuse of equipment that leads to accidents and even death of the patient. Health care providers need to talk to each other and respect one another and always remember that the patient should be their priority. The way we can achieve this is by holding everyone accountable for the care that’s being provided. Reporting poor quality of care will also help open the eyes of those who choose to work blindly. In regards to the high price of health care The Affordable Care Act was established to help. It gives people that cannot afford insurance or are not offered insurance at their jobs a discounted rate. 20 million Americans have received coverage under this act that was initiated May 1, 2014, (The commonwealth fund, 2016)). Many individuals work hard to earn enough money to support their families and provide food and clothes for them. They don’t have enough money to spare on health insurance just in case. Health care insurance is not cheap to buy even purchasing a HMO costs an average family $700-$900 a month, that’s just the monthly fee and does not take into consideration the copays and cost of medication that goes along with treatments. We have the biggest and best that the world has to offer when it comes to science and medicine we should be able to provide care to all not just a select few that can afford it.

NURS 6231: HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND QUALITY OUTCOMES – Discussion 2 (Grading Rubic and Media Attached) 2025

Discussion: Using Emotional Intelligence and Appreciative Inquiry to Promote Quality Through communication—inquiry and dialogue—every person makes a contribution, and by being involved in the process, people can shift their attention and action away from a problem-oriented focus to dreams that are worthy to them and to productive possibilities for the future. —Watkins & Mohr, 2001 Without a doubt, promoting health care quality and patient safety presents a meaningful aim. To achieve this goal, nurse leader-managers need to be able to evaluate a situation from many different viewpoints and frame questions that elicit valuable insights. They must be able to promote skillful problem solving and interdisciplinary teamwork. In this Discussion, you examine how you can use emotional intelligence and appreciative inquiry to facilitate positive changes that lead to improved quality and safety. To prepare: Review the information on emotional intelligence and appreciative inquiry presented in this week’s Learning Resources. If you have not already done so, follow the instructions in the course text, Emotional Intelligence 2.0 to complete the online assessment. Consider the results of the assessment. Review your strengths and opportunities for growth related to self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. What insights, questions, or concerns arise as you think about these results? Think about how your identified emotional intelligence strengths and opportunities for growth relate to your current role as a leader-manager and to the professional contributions that you hope to make now and in the future. Give focused attention to patient safety and health care quality. How and why is emotional intelligence valuable for promoting optimal patient outcomes and creating systems-level change? As indicated on pages 53–55 of the Bradberry and Greaves text, develop a plan for improving your skills in one area of emotional intelligence. Evaluate strategies for applying your strengths in the workplace. Identify at least two that you can use to add value to a team or workgroup to improve quality and safety. Also review the information on appreciative inquiry in this week’s Learning Resources. Have you used appreciative inquiry before? If so, how? How does the application of appreciative inquiry relate to your role as nurse leader-manager and/or to efforts to promote health care quality? Reflect on your experiences working in health care and identify an issue or problem that required, or requires, a change. Consider how you could apply emotional intelligence and appreciative inquiry strategies to this situation to facilitate positive results that lead to improved quality. Post a brief description of an issue or problem in a health care setting that required, or requires, a change. Explain how you, as a nurse leader-manager, could apply both emotional intelligence and appreciative inquiry strategies to address this issue and facilitate positive results that lead to improved quality. Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days using one or more of the following approaches: Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information or research. Share an insight from having read your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information to provide new perspectives. Validate an idea with your own experience and additional resources.
