Topic 2 DQ 2

The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.

Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.

 

To Prepare:

• Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
• Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
• Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.

The Assignment (3-4 Pages):

Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following:

• Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).
• Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.
• Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the scholarly resources you selected. Explain how they may impact your organization both positively and negatively. Be specific and provide examples.

Part 1:

Leadership to me is a person who possesses the ability to be inspiring, impactful, and influential. A good leader is trustworthy, follows through, listens well, and is supportive. My philosophy of leadership is, a leader possesses the ability to practice self-awareness, transparency, be truthful, and able to coach or help develop other. In order to create trust with their team, the leader must be genuine and truthful through the good, the bad, and the ugly. If not, the leader runs the risks of losing their team members trust. Coaching and mentoring are desirable to team members, everyone desires to grow and learn. It is the leader job to provide their team with the tools and training to become experts in their respective fields (Speranza, & Pierce, 2019). At Wellstar these traits are relatable to my leadership role and align with our values, mission, and vision. Our values are the following: we honor every voice, we pursue excellence, and we serve with compassion. Our vision is to deliver world-class healthcare to every person, every time. By honoring our team members voices, we allow the nurses to better care for their patients. The nurses are more likely to speak up and advocate if they are working in an environment where the feel heard.

Part 2:

 The definition of a leader varies depending on the audience. Some may argue that a leader is influential, another may think of the person who is managing them. My personal values align with Wellstar, as I desire to honor every voice, be transparent, listen well, mentor others, and serve with compassion. I became a nurse because I enjoyed caring for people. Serving with compassion and pursuing excellence, is the heart of what I do. As a leader, I try and lead by example, be the person who inspires others. Also, I try to honor every voice- the patient, the patient’s family, and team members. It is imperative that our staff and consumers feel as if we are listening and that their concerns are heard. Otherwise, what we are doing is in vain, we lose trust, which can result in the loss of an employee or patients. At Wellstar, we practice person-centred care, one way is the incorporation of IDR’s- the entire team is focusing on that one patient and their needs. This has proven to great catches, and improved patient outcomes.
