On the basis of the Cultural Barriers to scenario and your knowledge on communication, answer the following questions:

• What plan do you suggest for handling communication problems involved in the given scenario? Why?
• Poor communication is the root cause of many errors and adverse events. Do you agree with this statement? Explain why?
• What are the two major problems associated with written communication and two with verbal communication in an organization?
• What actions can individuals take to ensure their communication is effectively received? Why is this important?
• What factors can affect someone’s ability to receive communication?
• What values are encouraged when one complies with effective communication methods?
• What are the benefits of having a culturally diverse team?
• What is the organization’s significance and responsibility to train  all staff members to comply with regulations and requirements?

Cultural Barriers to Communication Communication is essential whether at home or in the work environment. Managers and team members are challenged in the healthcare field as effective communication is essential to transfer 

information, develop common understanding and enhance knowledge. Maste

ring communication skills reduces errors related to consumers and handling of patients and increases effective interaction with patients, consumers, peers, colleagues and other departments.  Let’s read the following scenario.

A healthcare manager sent an e-mail stating the unit would begin to incorporate a new patient safety program, where patients who are at risk will need to wear yellow socks. This identifies a protocol, which includes keeping the bed rails up and requires thirty -minute rounding to make certain that the patients are not getting out of bed without assistance. A registered nurse (RN), recently employed from China, has a language barrier, even though she has passed her state 

boards. She is not familiar with e-mail as a communication method in her past work environment in China.The RN from China, Meelynn, does not read the e-mail directive and her patient is not given the proper protocol procedures. The patient falls from the bed and now has been transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). The manager is now meeting with her to understand how this occurred 

and to educate Meelynn about effective communication methods used in the organization. You heard Meelynn say to other workers, “I don’t think this is my fault.  We get ten e-mails each day, text messages from management, and we are expected to read all of it and care for patients. I don’t have time to read all the messages the manager sends to me. Some of the messages I don’t even understand what she means and I cannot go and take time to find her.”  

Cover Letter

A significant part of a registered nurse’s job involves communicating with patients and providing emotional support. A successful cover letter should emphasize examples of your bedside manner and empathy as well as your emotional stability and composure in difficult situations.

Experience

            I work as a Patient Care Supervisor in an Acute Care Hospital. Currently, I am taking a Nurse Executive Specialty Track for my MSN that will enhance or develop my knowledge in leadership. As a Patient Care Supervisor, I am tasked with staffing whereby I ensure there is enough staff depending on the census of the unit. Whenever there are bedside procedures, I ensure that supplies are charged. Every day I make sure that we have supplies like juice, jello for the patients, and linens. Therefore, there is need for budgeting for proper planning of the finances involved. I am also regularly consulted by the hospital CFO to report financial information for my unit that would be useful in the budgeting process.

Reflection

            A preconceived notion I held is that budgeting is merely about expenses or how much money is available to be spent. Additionally, I believed that budgeting is a similar process across organizations. However, through this week’s concepts, I now have a better understanding of what budgeting entails. For instance, I am now enlightened that the budgeting process should closely consider organizational goals, mission, vision, and strategic plan. I have also learnt two types of budgeting, that is, incremental and zero-based budgeting. Incremental budgeting is common among public entities while zero-based budgeting is commonly used by private organizations (Menifield, 2017).

Implications for the Future

            The knowledge gained this week has positive implications for the future. In relation to how I view my proposed project, I will take into consideration the influence of financial management on quality outcomes in patient care. An area of financial data gathering that may be useful for my plan concerns patient record keeping. The ability to comprehend the budgeting process is an added advantage for any health care leader (Leger & Dunham-Taylor, 2018).

No Plegarism please,  will be checked with Turnitin. 

Will need minimum of 300 words, APA Style, double spaced, times new roman, font 12, and and Include: (3 references within 2015-2018)with intext citations. 

Topic: Social Services 

Share what social services are available in your community (Miami, Florida) and give examples of when it is important to involve social services in the management of your patients (Elderly living alone unable to care for self)  in the primary care setting? Please give examples of what you have done in your clinic setting involving social services. Support your discussion with evidence based practice and recommendations. 

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.

Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the evolution of nursing informatics from a science to a nursing specialty.
• Consider your experiences with nurse Informaticists or technology specialists within your healthcare organization.

Post a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.
