The Stetler Model And The Iowa Model
I went with the Iowa model in my original post, because I worked in the financial area of a hospital for many years and was always looking of was to help the organization save money. After going back and looking a little deeper and having a discussion with a fellow classmate about both the Stetler model and the Iowa model, and they both can have nursing participation with great satisfaction. I feel that the disciplined clinical inquiry model can fall into the Iowa model, “because the model addresses unit problems and relies on the unit staff to be engaged in the process, nurses tend to be more collaborative, thus creating a unit culture of support and accomplishment” (Schmidt & Brown, 2012, p.

    In the first phase I will address cost-cutting. Our goal is to cut-costs in the first quarter by $750,000. The cost cutting options I have chosen for EHC are, reducing agency staff and changing the skill mix within the organization. These two cost-cutting strategies had the least effect on patient care and saved the organization more money over a longer period of time. Having agency personnel is twice the price of having hospital staff. Also, Hospital nurses have more knowledge of the patients and give better patient care because of the familiarity. Agency personnel can be different every few days and therefore can never really get accustomed to the organizations goals and the level of patient care that the organization wants to provide. The second cost-cutting option I chose was to change the skill mix of employees. This simply means we…

    Every hospital I worked for all have its own mission statement and emphasize on the staff working toward this mission. As a nursing student, you’re thought to become a strategic thinker because you are trained on how to use critical thinking skills. You are thought to first think on what goal you want the patient to reach and then what implementations you can do to help the patient achieve this goal. In an organization there is first an objective and then ways on how to obtain this objective. It is the same in the nursing profession; our goal as a nurse is to provide the best quality care in order to acquire the best outcome. This is the reason why I fought back and forth with myself on if I am a tactical planner or a strategic…

    Recently the state Department of Health and the federal authorities for Medicare/Medicaid visited our facility. They have assessed that our residents are in danger of inadequate nursing staff-to resident ratios and lack of a qualified nutritional dietician. The facility has been given 90 days to increase staffing by eleven licensed nurse aides, three registered nurses and a registered clinical dietician. The survey team will return in 80 days, unannounced and if these deficiencies are not resolved, they will have no choice but to close the facility. The other challenge is competing with two hospitals in the community that are continually seeking the same types of health professionals. We should consider the fact that they have greater resources to attract and retain staff. Since we have only 80 day to recruit new staffs we need to come up with a short term plan that attract nurses to our facility and also a long term plan to retain staff. Our facility has been part of the community for nearly fifty years and has the advantage of an excellent reputation and community support. It is important to make an extra effort during these 90 days to keep our facility reputation. The human resources department has been assessing the issues and would like to propose some solutions to deal with the problems. We would like to…

    Then manner in which new graduates are socialized and oriented in the unit or facility is essential. Our unit adopted this program because we found/heard that many new graduates coming out of nursing school felt like sometimes the more seasoned nurses were sometimes unfriendly or "like to eat their young". Obviously this is unacceptable and with the nursing shortages and the cost to hire and orient and new nursing graduate, nursing turnover is frowned upon. On the renal floor that I work on all nurses must go through telemetry classes and be ACLS certified this all comes out of our budget for education so having to…

    The theory that has become my model for nursing in my current position is the core, the care and the cure theory by Lydia Hall (Current Nursing, 2012). Hall theory contains three independent but interconnected circles, the core, the care and the cure. The Theorist explains the Core as the person or patient to whom nursing care is directed and needed. The cure is the attention given to patients by the medical professionals. The model explains that the cure circle is shared by the nurse with other health professionals. These are the interventions or actions geared on treating or “curing” the patient from whatever illness or disease he may be suffering from. The care explains the role of nurses, and focused on performing that noble task of nurturing the patients, meaning the component of this model is the “motherly” care provided by nurses, which may include limited to provision of comfort measures, provision of patient teaching…

    Hospital administrators need to work collaboratively with recruiters, nursing directors, and managers, to improve and support the work environment for nurses. This can be accomplished by involving the bedside nurse, hiring high-quality nurses, maintain nurse-two-patient ratios and provide nurses with equipment or resources needed to keep them employed and provide quality care to patients. The American Nurses Association recommends "stepping systems can only be effective if the direct care nurses who work on a specific unit have input the staffing system" (American Nurses Association, 2013). Another recommendations from the ANA that are instrumental and supportive of nurses are architecture and the environment of the work place, technology equipment and support, the level of experience of nurses providing care, and consideration to the severity of patients, last available support services and resources (American Nurses Association, 2013).…

    The hospital where I have dedicated my twelve year nursing career has gone through a massive change. When I started working there in 1999, it was a small, independent 168 bed community not-for-profit hospital. The expectations of healthcare today were and continue to be a costly venture to a non-corporate facility, which is why the hospital was struggling financially. It simply could not meet the needs of the growing community. As a result, it was purchased by a corporate healthcare entity based in North Carolina that owned several other hospitals. This merger brought about massive changes to the community hospital. Their policies, practices, benefits and overall mission and vision have been redefined. The introduction of the newly adopted mission, “We exist to improve the health of communities, one person at a time” (Novant health, n.d.) and, the vision, “We, the employees and our physician partners, will deliver the most remarkable patient experience, in every dimension, every time” (Novant health, n.d.) were one of the first initiatives undertaken. In alignment with this new vision, the culture of the community hospital was going to have to change.…

    Delegation is widely acknowledged to be an essential element of effective management (Yukl, G. 1994). Delegation is basically a process of assigning responsibility, sharing authority, and producing accountability in organizations. It is a managerial instrument that allows managers to nurture subordinates to capitalize the subordinate’s potential and ability to meet organizational goals and objectives. As a form of employee involvement in decision-making, delegation describes a category of leader behavior that entails assignment of new responsibilities to subordinates and additional authority to carry them out (Yukl, G. 1998). Managers usually find it easier to speak about delegation of responsibility then to accomplish the organizational goals.…
