Using what you have learned in your assigned readings and in your own experiences, craft a double-spaced essay of 2 pages (not counting title/reference pages), but no more to respond to the assignment below. In addition to your book, use one additional source for information to be included on your reference page.
Book Yoder-Wise, P. S. & Sportsman, S. (2023). Leading and Managing in Nursing 8th edition Leading and managing in nursing (8th ed.). Mosby.
To complete this essay, you may pull from your experiences in current or past healthcare organizations or ask for input from a nurse regarding their healthcare organization and/or unit.
Without identifying that organization, describe the following:
What factors did you encounter there that were evidence of the escalating health care costs?
How are staff made aware of concerns such as costs, charges, and revenue in relation to patient services, such as a visit, hospital stay, supplies, or procedures?
How do staff receive feedback or communication related to the financial needs of the organization?
How do staff have an influence on costs, charges, and revenue? Think about staffing and productivity.
Are staff involved in the budgeting process? If so, how?
Why is person-centered care a focal point in healthcare delivery? Describe the characteristics you view as being evidence of that model.
Describe the roles and responsibilities of nursing staff when using person-centered care. How does this model positively or negatively impact patient care? Impact nursing satisfaction?
Special Notes to assist in your success:
YOU MAY USE FIRST PERSON.
But, understand this is an essay and should be written in a scholarly manner, not like a conversation. When relating a real-life example, it is easy to fall into using run-on sentences, incorrect grammar, and slang terms. So, be mindful that your essay sounds professional.
Understand you are relating real life examples for the PURPOSE of expounding on what you have learned from the concepts in your readings. You should first describe the assigned concepts and use the examples as a means of linking the concepts in your assigned readings to real life or how the concepts apply to real practice. Focus less on describing your account of the example and more on relaying your new knowledge. Look into the description of your assignment for those keywords that tie back to your assigned readings. Think of writing an essay to someone who knows nothing of the subject you are studying. Use your example to “show off” your new knowledge.
Here is a more specific example: If your assignment called for you to describe types of conflict and provide an example of a conflict you have observed. You would not run on like you were conversing about the details of the conflict. You would provide details about the concept of conflict and touch on what you have observed only as a supporting example.
Like so:
Conflict occurring between people is known as interpersonal conflict and is the most common type of conflict. I personally observed an example of interpersonal conflict as two employees were showing visible signs of hostility towards each other(Folse, 2015).
Remember to review the instructions, the related key points on the study guide, and the rubric for the learning exercises one last time before submitting just to ensure you don’t overlook any of the required items.
Review your essay; if you don’t see the key terms from your assignment/readings and have citations/references to your textbooks – you have not sufficiently linked the example to the concepts assigned.
SUBMIT IN A WORD DOCUMENT, not a PDF or PAGES file.
