NURSING:Interprofesional & Organisational leadership
As noted in the Learning Resources, systems theory provides a meaningful and beneficial means of examining challenges in health care organizations. To do this effectively, however, it is essential to assess all system components, as some may be relatively healthy while others are problematic.
For this Assignment, you apply systems theory to the examination of a problem in a department or a unit within a health care organization.
To prepare:
? Review the Meyer article, ?Nursing Services Delivery Theory: An Open System Approach,? in this week?s Learning Resources. Focus especially on the information presented in Table 1 (p. 2831) and Figure 2 (p. 2833). Please check this article before doing the assignment.
? Reflect on your organization or one with which you are familiar. Within a particular department or unit in this organization, identify a problem the staff is encountering: a problem the staff at my organization is encountering is staffing. Patient nurse ratio is high at times leading to safety issues and burn out of nurses.
? Using Table 1 in the Meyer article as a guide, analyze the department or unit, identifying inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback. Consider whether the problem you have selected relates to input, throughput, output, cycles of events, and/or negative feedback.
? Think about how you could address the problem: Consider what a desired outcome would be, then formulate related goals and objectives, and translate those goals into policies and procedures.
? Research professional standards that are pertinent to your identified problem.
? Reflect on the organization?s mission statement and values. In addition, consider how addressing this problem would uphold the mission and values, while improving the organizational culture and climate. (Depending on the organization you have selected, you may have explored these in the Week 1 Discussion.) My organization mission is to improve the health of the diverse community its serve through excellent in patient care, education and research. Patient satisfaction is key and mutual respect between coworkers is promoted
To complete:
Write a 3- to 5-page paper that addresses the following:
? Describe a department or unit within a health care organization using systems theory terminology. Include a description of inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback.
? Describe the problem you identified within the department or unit using an open- systems approach, and state where the problem exists using the systems theory model (input, throughput, output, cycles of events, or negative feedback).
? Based on this information, explain how you would address the problem as follows:
o Formulate a desired outcome.
o Identify goals and objectives that would facilitate that outcome.
o Translate those goals and objectives into policies and procedures for the department or unit.
o Describe relevant professional standards.
? Explain how your proposed resolution to the problem would uphold the organization?s mission and values and improve the culture and climate.
