Reflection Paper On Time Management

During my time with them, I was able to differentiate between the functions, roles, and responsibilities of healthcare managers, while working with the following managerial positions. I was able to view them carry out various management functions of planning—closing of a pharmacy, getting annual goals for annual merits, discuss implementation of FY18 strategic planning, staffing--interviews, directing—manager/leadership meetings and staff meetings, controlling—weekly safety huddles addressing patient safety events, addressing staff concerns, and addressing staff behavior, and decision making—completing daily tasks and going to

There are many avenues to cross in pursuit of an established healthcare facility. The premise of leadership begins with moral practices, combined with, knowledge of succession planning. With changing healthcare laws such as HIPAA, Healthcare Affordability Act and the process of maintaining OSHA compliance, it is key that those placed in healthcare leadership grasp not only the significance of such laws, but understand how it compliments safety while preventing harm and legal issues. Planning is key and maintaining a succession plan will assist in preventing a lapse in leadership in the event of a staff crisis.

It is crucial for the leader of a health care organization to garner the support of the managers to strategize how to best prepare the annual budget. The managers in turn must gather the support of their staff to best figure out how the organization should proceed in developing the budget. A leader should respect the budget process within the organization, but understand after receiving managerial input, that ultimately he or she is responsible for allocating the financial resources.

From the very first day that I have been in the nursing program, holistic, patient centered care has been at the forefront of our education. Though this concept may seem simple in definition, in execution, I found found it to be much more complex. Through my clinical experience this semester, I have had many great opportunities to experience what holistic care looks like and I think it is incredibly important to recognize exactly how to implement it into everyday care. By utilising techniques such as effective time management, collaboration and being self-aware, I feel as though I have been able to expand my skillset and provide care that has been appropriate and met patient needs.

In any management organization, planning is one key element in moving a business forward. In Health Care Administration the modern concept applies to planning leading to order. The vertical planning that combines functions of different organizations, where the patient outputs of one organization in the system are inputs of another (geographic proximity required) (Pointer, Williams, Isaacs, Knickman, & Barr, 2007 p. 24). The concept included short-term profits, mass production, and a top-down focus on patients, with the HIM professional representing a cost.

The healthcare industry is under a tremendous amount of pressure to reduce cost while continuing to deliver high quality patient care. Healthcare organiztions are complex. Managers provide leadership, supervision, as well as coordination of schedules, and employees. Managers need to ensure that tasks are carried out in the most efficient way possible to meet the overall goals of the organization. Managers work closely with the human resource department, hiring staff they feel are qualified and would be a good fit for the organization. They are involved in the discipline process of staff members as well as serving as valuable coaches to their staff. Healthcare managers assist in shaping the organization and help

Environmental analysis should, in theory, be part of a health organization 's strategic planning process. Case studies of Wow Hospital (WH) facilities, a community hospital are presented to determine empirically how environmental analysis was actually incorporated into the strategic planning process. It is

These health care organizations have two types of planning to follow, and they are tactical and strategic planning. When tactical planning takes place, there is a short term goal in mind (Society for Human Resource Management, 2102). The course of action for a tactical plan is to achieve a goal within a year or less time period (Society for Human Resource Management, 2102). A tactical plan has a smaller scope and shorter time span than a strategic plan (Society for Human Resource Management, 2102). It takes several tactical plans to achieve the strategic plan (Society for Human Resource Management, 2102). Strategic planning differs from tactical planning, because in strategic plan, the course of action is to achieve goals for the long term (Society for Human Resource Management, 2102). Strategic planning goals are usually wanted to be completed with five years (Society for Human Resource Management, 2102). The organization’s mission statement purpose and direction are reflected upon strategic planning (Society for Human Resource Management, 2102). Top management must view reports on operations, external environments and finances when looking to develop a strategic plan (Society for Human Resource Management, 2102). The development of tactical plans are influenced by strategic plans (Society for Human Resource Management, 2102).

Harvard Business Review’s Fixing Health Care From Inside & Out was a unique collection of examples on how all members of a health system, both clinical and administrative, make a huge different on operations. This compilation not only provided exceptionally informative articles, but also many charts, graphs, and other depictions to back up the points the contributors were making. Many of the remarks in these articles seemed to be simple fixes or strategies that do not seem that hard to implement, but in reality they are so challenging because making changes can be a big deal for any organization. All ten of the articles offered a distinct perspective and innovative ideas that future healthcare leaders such as myself could use moving forward. Some of the key points highlighted were to implement changes on smaller scales first and then go larger, to tackle issues as they come up and not put them off for the future, and also the importance of all staff working together as a team rather than in pursuit of individual goals.

In order to improve time management, Mr. Haze will be asked to keep a calendar where he will be able to set deadlines that include grades, unit deadlines, grading, lesson planning, and other factors that have resulted in a poor evaluation. Through this he will be able to use his prep time effectively and doing school related activities, as noted by the school contract. The mentor or district administrator will be able to keep track of how often grades are being updated and the assignments and assessments given in class by the online gradebook. Through the grades and assignments posted the administrator will be checking that the work assigned is aligned to the curriculum map created within the department. Mr. Haze will be asked to turn in his calendar log as artifacts towards his remediation plan. Through setting clear deadlines on units, lesson planning, and assessments Mr. Haze will improve on his teaching by being organized and prepared.

Two time management procedures I have developed in my internship are keeping a weekly agenda and using a monthly calendar to keep track of larger tasks. Each Linbeck employee is asked to keep up with a PPC (promised percent complete) agenda. At the end of the week, you are expected to enter the meetings and tasks into a standard form. As you complete the tasks throughout the following week, you check off the line items. At the close of business on Friday, you are asked to grade your PPC. Any tasks that were not completed are marked as such, and you are required to explain why the task was not finished as promised. This practice gets me to work on only promising tasks that can be managed in the course of a week. In order to accommodate

I am definitely starting to feel more confident about the direction about where my practice is going. Particularly with my ability to take on multiple clients. I feel that perhaps I could have taken on more than one client earlier in my practice, but I felt that because I was continuously getting feedback about my time management, that I needed to master one client before taking on more. In reflection of my conversation with my current instructor I looked back at all my other jobs I have had that demand of me to accomplish a lot of tasks to be completed within time frames. I wrestled with this reflection because many of my jobs were in face paced environments with unforeseeable changes that required me to shift my priorities at any given time.

Time management is something that every college student dreads but eventually learns to handle with ease. After assessing my schedule in a weekly log, I can strongly say that I have learned to balance everything life throws at me. My journal entries consisted, surprisingly, of mass amounts of free time. Besides class, I often found that I performed less than three school related activities a day. I guess you could take this as a negative or a positive. Maybe I need to get involved more, or maybe I just get work done efficiently and on time. Most of my activities consisted of homework and reading and I found it incredibly easy to complete these tasks with ample time left for myself. For the short time, I spend doing school related activities, I often find myself getting distracted. The most common form of distraction for me was social media, whether I was working on my laptop or my computer I always found a way to venture back to my phone checking apps such as Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter. I am someone that tries to stay focused and ignore social media because the importance of it is so minimal, but it is incredibly hard to stay away. This generation has such a strong desire to stay connected every second and I cannot help but think about what is going on in everyone else’s lives. Whenever I sit down to work I always anticipate that quick check of my phone, whether I am expecting a text or notification, I always am aware that I will be getting distracted by it. Out of all possible distractions such as music, Instagram, twitter, texts, etcetera, I have to say the one that’s hardest to ignore is snapchat, specifically group snaps. A group snap is just like a group chat over text but instead it is through snapchat and consists of pictures from multiple people. This is my secret killer because in a group it is hard to ignore the notifications. You feel disconnected at the moment and like you will miss something if you do not open and answer instantly. It is all about answering in the now and no one wants to be late to all the drama and comedy that is contained within a snap group. There are different methods to staying focused and ignoring your cell phone. Some may put it away in a pocket or bag using the “out

There is always an instance in which a student finds him or herself tackling a difficult assignment and in the end earning a poor grade. For example, I have experienced plenty of times in which I either procrastinate, do not understand the assignment, or just do not try as hard as I should on that particular assignment thus getting a D on it. However, worrying about the grade and crying over it will not help you do it right the next time and has no positive outcome. Going over steps and figuring out what you did wrong is guaranteed to prepare you for your next test or important paper and earn you a good grade. Studying, taking notes, asking questions, and completing the assignment a few days before the due date are a few ways to stay on track. Time management is a very important skill that teaches students how and when to approach projects and other tasks. Aside from the obvious ways to improve your work, there are a list of problem solving skills that everyone should utilize which can not only help them in school and work but also in day-to-day situations.
