Smart Goal Paper

My SMART goal was starting September 1, 2017, I will get 8 hours or more of sleep every weekday until the end of the Fall 2017 school semester. The psychological skills that have been integrated into my life to accomplish my goal are goal setting, positive thought management including countering, thought stoppage, restrictive negative thoughts, and positive self-talk, and dealing with anxiety.

Interdepartmental communication and medical errors have both been proven as causes of harm to patients in health care settings. When there are gaps in communications between nurses changing shifts or patient transitions from one department to another, medical errors can occur and cause harm to patients. Even though there has been improvement in recognition of these problems and actions taken to reduce communication gaps and medical errors, there still needs to be more work, especially in individual facilities.

During the implementation of my health plan I was able only partially meet SMART goals and objectives. My goal was to reduce exposure to harmful noises (higher than 85 dB) to less than 8 hours a day. In order to meet that goal I was using an app on my phone to measure noise level I was exposed to. In the situations where it was possible I was either reducing volume or using protective devices (earplugs and noise cancellation headphones) to reduce harmful effect of noise. I was able to meet my goal only in well controlled environments where I was able to control intensity of noise. For example - when I was driving car alone I could reduce music volume in the car. However in almost all other activities, like during lectures, during walks outside and in movie theaters, I could not control intensity of noises and could not avoid those activities. So in reality it was very difficult to fully implement my health plan.

With 33 million Americans utilizing healthcare services as a means to manage mental health conditions and illnesses, adequate delivery of mental healthcare, treatment, and practice is becoming increasingly more important in the American landscape of wellness (SAMHSA, 2004a). The mental health system continues to be a challenging area of healthcare, due to: increased usage of coercion into treatment, diversity in care delivery systems, an unevolved quality measurement mechanism, and a drastically different business and marketplace infrastructure. These factors added to the, already, present stigma associated with mental health, culminates into an extremely

Our emotions in many cases affect our perception of events as well as the actions that we take ourselves by permeating our way of thinking, and therefore affecting each thing that we do in that moment. In particular, emotions about the perception of ourselves have been shown to have both the ability to positively and negatively affect our actions and performances in life. This is what can be

my servant leadership practice. A SMART goal is: (a) specific, (b) measurable, (c) achievable or attainable, (d) realistic or relevant, and (e) time-bound or time-based (Daft, 2014).

My third long term SMART goal is a combination of achieving this Masters of Science degree from Western Governors University before Spring 2017 and using what I have learned in my job, specifically in my new territory.

Smart Goals help guide decision-making throughout the implementation process. These consistently need to be re-assessed throughout the EHR implementation steps to ensure a smooth transition for the practice and all staff.Set goals in areas that are important and meaningful to your practice. These may be clinical goals, revenue goals, or goals related to work environment. Goals in all three areas will help assure balanced processes after the implementation. Goals that are important

A goal setting is best practice framework for setting goals. A SMART goal should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound.

Don't shut down your emotions. Embrace them. Your emotions are your compass telling you whether or not you are on track. Use them to help cultivate your passions or motivate you to change situations and circumstances that hold you back from achieving your goals." - Julian Michaels

As promised, I have managed to come out with something. These goals are challenging. I will wish we take just one. However, taking a second goal will not be a problem if the goal is gear toward networking.

My smart goal My goal is to shave off twenty seconds off my mile run. My current time for my mile is nine minutes and 40 second. Goal time is nine and twenty second. My goal will be accomplished by increasing cardiovascular strength. I will measure my progress by doing a test run on Saturday see how mile had change. This goal was relevant to me because it helps improve my overall efficacy in sports and daily life. It will increase my strength and endurance make my progression in sports healthier and safer.

Out of the three goals, (Personal, educational, and professional) I chose two of the goals that I am focusing on and that is my personal and educational goals. For my personal goals, I want to create a big picture of what I plan to do in life. Then I want to break them down in order to reach my goals, then once I have them together, then I would start working on them to achieve them. For example(Specific and Measurable goals), I plan on finding a job that has great benefits and the best rate of pay, and one that does not require working on weekends(Monday-Friday only), and not working overtime.

A SMART goal is simply a goal that is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Results-oriented, and has Target dates. One of GM’s SMART goals was its strategic plan to reduce the total number of auto platforms from 30 in the year 2010, to 24 in 2014, and to 14 by the year 2018. This goal is SMART because it is very specific; reducing the number of auto platforms from 30 to 14 within 8 years. It is measurable in the sense that GM set specific points for these goals to be achieved. By setting a 4-year interval (2010-2014, 2014-2018) within this goal, GM seeks to measure the level of success of this goal. By measuring its level of success, its attainability can also be determined. GM’s primary objective behind this objective is to make a lot of savings on it huge engineering budget by building vehicles all over the world that are made from the same basic parts and assembled in plants that use the same type of tooling. This objective therefore makes the goal result-oriented since it gears the company towards achieving its vision. GM also sets target dates for which these goals would be implemented. Specific years for the implementation of these goals are indicated.

To be useful, the stated objectives should meet several criteria which are known as SMART objectives. [Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timed]
