Assessment Description

As an advanced registered nurse, you will serve as a leader within your organization. Part of this role will entail being a change agent and spurring positive change on behalf of patients, colleagues, and the industry.

Consider a situation you experienced previously where change did not go as planned in your health care organization. Create a 10-15-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you will assess the situation and the steps that should have been taken to successfully implement change. Create speaker notes of 100-250 words for each slide. Include an additional slide for the title and references. For the presentation of your PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice-over or a video. Refer to the topic Resources for additional guidance on recording your presentation with Loom. Include an additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning and another at the end for References.

Include the following in your presentation:

1. Describe the background of the situation and the rationale for and goal(s) of the change. Consider the ethical, social, legal, economic, and political implications of practice change in your response.
2. Outline the advanced registered nurse’s role as change agent within the interprofessional and dynamic health care environment.
3. Identify the key interprofessional stakeholders (both internal and external) that should be involved in change efforts.
4. Discuss an appropriate change theory or model that could be used to achieve results. Explain why the theory or model selected is best for the situation. Include the ethical, social, legal, economic, and political implications of applying the change management strategies to practice change in your response.
5. As an advanced registered nurse, outline how you would initiate the change.
6. Describe the impact to the organization if the change initiative is unsuccessful again, and potential steps the interprofessional team could take if the change is unsuccessful.
7. Predict what additional factors will drive upcoming organizational change for the organization and outline the advanced registered nurse’s role as change agent.

Replies to Rosette Caindoy

Healthcare policy is vital to healthcare organizations since it helps in the planning processes of healthcare organizations. The primary role of healthcare policies is to provide a leadership structure whereby an institution allocates adequate healthcare resources to patients. Healthcare policies also offer an environment whereby an organization ensures clinicians’ continued improvement of medical practices and skills.

Policies usually offer guidelines for healthcare professionals to work effectively, use medical knowledge to solve complex problems, and implement evidence-based practices when caring for patients (Mosadeghrad, 2014). Secondly, healthcare policies affect patient care by ensuring patients receive optimum care. It acts as a manual that dictates clinicians’ behaviors and actions and helps promote patients’ safety and well-being when accessing medical services.

Mosadeghrad (2014) contends that healthcare policies affect cost-effective quality care by championing affordable medical services for patients. Healthcare professionals use healthcare policies to influence changes in healthcare systems by making healthcare resources easily accessible and lowering the medical costs for patients.

Nurse leaders are active in how medical services are disseminated to patients. This is possible by a nurse leader examining some of the weaknesses facing medical centers and understanding some of the problems patients face when accessing medical services. Secondly, nurse leaders can take measures that enhance the safety of patients by reducing medical errors to prevent readmissions of patients and that patients do not use many resources when getting quality healthcare services (Androus, 2021). Androus (2016) further elicits that when addressing healthcare costs, a nurse leader looks at strategies to help hospitals offer quality medical services at low prices. Therefore, acting as strong pillars in advocating quality care of patients.

Hello William,

Your post summarizes that healthcare policy is crucial to healthcare structures and how nurse leaders can take measures that enhance patient safety. Healthcare policies support coordination of care and improve health outcomes. The policies support healthcare planned within coordinated and value-based care models. Healthcare policies are procedures and rules, prompting considerable measures and ethics in healthcare facilities. For example, some policies safeguard patients’ sensitive and personal facts from disclosure against their will or without consent. Healthcare policies also impact the approach to healthcare matters and the allocation of resources. Policies alter health at the community and individual levels and facilitate healthy behaviors. Healthcare policies modify health risk distribution by tackling the fundamental economic, social, and environmental factors, functioning at secondary and prevention levels (Thomson et al., 2018). Healthcare policies support safe and skilled practice.

Nurse leaders and nurses are authorized to practice with regard and thought for the patient. Furthermore, nurses must prioritize clients and support their well-being, safety, and rights. Nurse leaders and APRNs must uphold and progress the work setting’s ethical atmosphere, impacting patient care and satisfaction. Health policies positively influence health care provision, boosting quality care (Thomson et al., 2018). Nurse leaders can endorse modification in healthcare policy by contributing at the state and community levels. Nurses should regard health policies as something they can impact as a team. Nurses and other healthcare experts can impact healthcare policy by working together and joining their voices. Nursing mandates following healthcare policies to sustain professional standards in medical practice, improving patients’ health.
