Nursing Management System Analysis

The nurse manager in today’s health care has a solid role in providing a healthy working environment. Healthy working environment is the basis for safe and better patient outcomes. Healthy working environment in a unit depends on the inspiration, motivation and support from the nurse manager and the management in all the ways. So as a nurse manager in a unit, the change I wish to initiate is the safe staffing patterns. Safe staffing patterns are always important for safe working environments to deliver excellent patient care. Staffing and scheduling means providing an adequate staff mix to meet the needs of the patients (Grohar-Murray & Langan, 2011). Nurse manager should know how to schedule and skill mix to provide adequate

Healthcare is often driven by consumers and insurance companies; there is strong pushes for insurance companies to start paying better through Patient Care Medical Homes (PCMH) or Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) rather than paying at a per-visit basis (Hamlin, 2015). With PCMH or ACOs payment is made on a continuum of care, encouraging the provider to be involved in all aspects affecting health of the patient (Derksen, & Whelan,

Management and leadership are two different ways of organising people and although sometimes used interchangeably, they are two different functions. Management has a strong emphasis on order and control, while leadership has a focus on articulating a compelling vision, which both inspires and guides others to follow (Dignam et al., 2012). In this essay I will critique two styles of leadership, authoritarian and situational. In addition to this, the management cycle will be discussed. I will then identify how the newly graduated Registered Nurse and the nursing profession can use these styles to provide quality patient care.

A model framework for a Washington ACH funded Fresh Bucks Rx Program could be conceptualized like a positive feedback loop where funding from the ACH to food system providers would improve health outcomes and produce health care savings, which would then increase funding into the ACH for further investment into the program. The ACH would grant funding to food system partners initially from start-up funding and then from a Medicaid shared savings plan. The food system partners would use funding from the ACH to pay for the value of Fresh Bucks Rx and administration costs. Meanwhile, health system partners that are members of the ACH network would screen their patients with uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c>6.5) for food insecurity using standard

Leadership at times can be a complex topic to delve into and may appear to be a simple and graspable concept for a certain few. Leadership skills are not simply acquired through position, seniority, pay scale, or the amount of titles an individual holds but is a characteristic acquired or is an innate trait for the fortunate few who possess it. Leadership can be misconstrued with management; a manager “manages” the daily operations of a company’s work while a leader envisions, influences, and empowers the individuals around them.

An advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) is an umbrella term consisting of but not limited to roles such as Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP); Adult Geriatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP); Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM); and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). Across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, it is an undeniable fact that APRNs care for multitudes of patients across the entire human lifespan and across many certain from the nursing homes and home care to hospitals, pain clinics, and substance abuse centers.

The hospital provides a slew of services to the community like acute hospitals, community hospitals, continuum care facilities, home-health agencies, ambulatory sites, and specialty institutes. If I was a part of the management of this organization my approach to managing supplies successfully will be to ensure the hospital

Working in a hospital unit can sometimes be very difficult. Nurses must do everything accordingly to practice positive time management while still providing quality care to their patients. In emergency situations, certain supplies should readily available when needed in order to effectively respond to patients needs during emergency situations. Sometimes making sure the unit is adequately stocked with supplies gets put aside or forgotten simply because we become occupied in everyday tasks. This research includes identifying deficits in supply demand and proposition of solution to

First, as the unit managers, we will listen to our employees’ concerns. Next, we will address the specific complaints about working with certain staff members and the lack of supplies available on the unit. We will investigate further to see which employees are not performing to hospital standards and then schedule a meeting to explore their reasons and work together to find a solution to the problems. Next, we will address the lack of supplies available on the floor by scheduling a meeting with the manager of central supply. During this meeting, we will explain that the nurses are often working short-staffed and having available supplies will allow the nurses to manage their time more efficiently. Then, to implement evidence-based

In society today patient encounters take place in a variety of different settings. Evaluation and Management codes (E/M) describe a patient encounter with a physician and are the most frequently used codes that adhere to unique criteria. The criteria are to identify the settings, patient type and level of service. In the CPT Manual E/M codes are located in the front of the book and are broken down by divisions which are known as categories and subcategories. The categories are the first level of division because they identify the location of where the service took place such as a hospital visit, office visit and consultation. The subcategories identify the type of service rendered depending on the patient type if they are new or established, age and frequency. Also the subcategories are classified into levels of services that are identified by specific codes. It is by utilizing this classification that one is able to determine the nature of the work by the service type as well as place and patient status.

outcomes and prevention must be developed and proposed as viable alternatives to current care systems to address some of the current problems. There is also the need to strengthen the primary care due to changing systems of health-care delivery and rapidly emerging advances in diabetes treatment. The patient-centered Medical Home Model has been proposed as a practical solution to access, and quality issues surrounding primary care. Another proposed intervention is that practice change is essential to provide the type of evidence based care recommended by these models, to effectively manage diabetes.

Leadership comes in many different forms, and is a curtail element of a health care organization. This paper will describe leadership styles, management theories, and my style of leadership in reference to the self-assessment completed. I will discuss what leadership styles align with my style and what type of work environment and behaviors that will help me be a successful leader. I will also discuss different types of leadership theories. There are many aspects to being a leader and every good organization has good leaders behind it. Leadership is a key element in nursing due to the fact that nurses are often working in teams (Huber, 2014, p.3).

Patients in a hospital and/or healthcare facilities have to be cared for all day and all night, everyday of the week by nurses. The usual way to fulfill this need is to divide up the day into three 8-hour shifts. Different shifts have been put into place to help improve nurse satisfaction, decrease the nursing shortage and save the hospital money. The 24-hour day is made up of two 12-hour shifts; 12 hours in the day and 12 hours at night. There has been quite an ongoing debate over the years regarding this issue of nurses working over 8 hours in a single day. Many people, such as hospital nursing administrators, have reason to believe that working long hour shifts causes more errors in

Today health care systems are expected to meet set standards and core measures to earn everything from accreditation and recognition to payment. Reports need to filled to accomplish this, as well as what is being done to improve areas that may not be meeting standards. One way this is done is by utilizing dashboards. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the data from a dashboard and develop a nursing plan for improvement of a low scoring area.

These types of workers have a very well developed sense of order, discipline, moral obligation to work hard, and a sense of cohesion with their fellow workers. Theory Z workers can be trusted to do their jobs to their utmost ability, so long as management can be trusted to support them and look out for their well being.
