How a Bill Becomes a Law

As you have discovered through this course, nurses are influential members of the community and the political system. Therefore, for the purposes of this assignment you will identify a problem or concern in your community, organization, etc. that has the capacity to be legislated. You will conduct research and state a proposal. Through the legislative process, your proposal for the problem or concern may influence an idea for change into a law.

First, refer to the “How a Bill Becomes a Law” media.

Part 2
You have been told by the board of directors that, in the past few months, productivity and patient satisfaction has decreased in the healthcare workforce. The board of directors has conducted a survey and found that the reason for this decline is due to the workers in your organization being unhappy in their current roles. As part of your role as a leader, you are required to provide a 1-day workshop, which is twofold: one, to allow colleagues to verbalize their dissatisfaction in their daily roles; and, two, to provide the strategies required for them to feel more motivated and increase their self-efficacy/self-esteem.

Create an agenda for the 1-day workshop. The workshop agenda should include a full day of activities. The agenda should have opportunities for the following: role playing; guest speakers (be creative); opportunities for employees to voice their opinions; top priority for healthcare workers (i.e., safety); patient satisfaction; employee satisfaction; healthcare workers collaboration; a synopsis of the humanistic learning theories that fit your organization, etc.
 

Provide objectives for each of the areas and outcomes for what you expect.

#6:

This is an optional discussion for this week but will be counted towards this week’s discussion.

Many experts say that nurses need to play a key role in accountable care organizations (ACOs). ACOs were introduced in January, 2012 as a component of the Affordable Care Act. Identify the role(s) that nurses will play in these organizations.

1) Discuss one personal strength and one weakness you have regarding   professional presentations. Name one method for improvement for each   of these, and discuss why it is important for you to work on these   skills if you want to present your findings in a more formal setting.

2) Sustaining change can be difficult, as there are many variables that   can affect implementation. One critical component of EBP is to ensure   that practice change is part of an organization’s culture so it will   continue to impact outcomes over time. Name two potential barriers   that may prevent your EBP change proposal from continuing to obtain   the same desired results 6 months to a year from now, and your   strategies for overcoming these barriers.
