Please can Gibbs write this assignment? Thank you.


This assignment is a direct research proposal which title poor healthcare leadership.

Bad leadership causes questions and offers no answers. Directions and correspondence are sometimes unclear, and a bad leader is usually unavailable to clarify. This leads to work done incorrectly or not at all, which can quickly become expensive. A bad leader does not wish to see members of his team improve for fear of one day losing his job to the employees he trains.

USING THE UPLOADED BOOK CHAPTER:
How does health policy influence health care leadership? For this discussion:
1. Consider how advocacy, leadership, and research are used in policy making as well as how health policy differs from other types of policy making. Use the Internet to research current health policy, and chose one policy that affects health care (or will impact health care when passed). Reflect on how this policy will impact health care leaders.
2. Briefly describe the key points in the chosen policy, and argue your stance on the issue from a health leader perspective. How will the policy affect the health delivery in your organization (or a hypothetical organization of your choice)? Reflect on how this policy could influence the organizational performance of your chosen organization from a leadership perspective. What can you do as a health care leader to ensure a seamless implementation of the policy or work to ensure effective service delivery if the policy would not be beneficial to your organization?

Abstract
Problem/Issue/Improvement project
Analysis of Problem/Issue/Improvement data
Proposed solution and Anticipated Outcomes
The paper is based on a healthcare organisation that may need more modern leadership styles; styles that encourage employee participation, managers that are willing to adopt new technologies to advance their organisation (are not afraid of change).

Here are some sentences that describe the problem.
--In the 21st century, more and more healthcare organizations have to compete, healthcare leadership
--because of the ever changing healthcare landscape; urging leaders to be risk takers in the advancement of Information technology.
--motivation, employee satisfaction, expectations, relationship management, self management, feed back and performance management.

I am trying to point out that better management styles will lead to an organisation's success. The concept is leadership improvement. What should leaders possess for the betterment of the organisation as a whole?

Write a 1000 to 1500 word white paper. A white paper is typically written to advocate for a particular position or solution to a problem (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/546/01/ ).
THIS IS THE ARTICLE TO USE:

Stefl, M. E. & Bontempo, C. A. (2008). Common competencies for all healthcare managers: The healthcare leadership alliance Model/PRACTITIONER APPLICATION. Journal of Healthcare Management, 53(6), 360-73; discussion 374.

You may take your research in any direction that you think makes sense given your chosen starting point. Include a minimum of 4-5 additional scholarly/professional resources.

Parameters:
The paper should be 1000 to 1500 words. Be in the appropriate format for a white paper, utilize the APA, 6th Edition, format for citations and references as appropriate. All facts should be supported by references:

Your answer to each essay question should be complete and between 200 and 300 words.

1.The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) collects information regarding the professional competence and conduct of physicians, dentists, and other health care providers. The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution limits unlawful search and seizure. Aren't these two laws in conflict? Take a position either for or against the NPDB and support your rationale.

2.The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has required that organizations that have a sentinel event conduct a root cause analysis to identify the basic or causal factors of the sentinel event. Explain how a root cause analysis helps resolve this issue.

3.Individuals have a right to refuse to participate in abortions and can abstain from involvement in abortions as a matter of conscience or religious or moral conviction. Should this premise be expanded to include participation in stem cell research? Take a position either pro or con and clearly support your rationale.

4.Insurance companies and major organizations are limiting health insurance coverage because of lifestyle issues, such as smoking. Should treatment for AIDS be limited because of the same issues? Take a position either pro or con and clearly support your rationale.

5.Compare and contrast the differences between allowing a patient the right to die and physician-assisted suicide?

6.Numerous lives would be saved if more organs would be donated. Explain how this could be accomplished in the healthcare setting.

7.Should management have the right to hire replacement workers during a strike? Take a position either pro or con, and defend it.

8.Described what should be included in a management-training program to assist managers in preparing fair and objective performance appraisals?

9.Much has been written about the advantages and disadvantages of Managed-Care Organizations. Take a position, either for or against the following statement: managed-care organizations have helped to control medical costs.

10.Explain how a CQI process should be selected and implemented within a healthcare setting.

11.The textbook states that "an organization's most vital component in costly resource is its staff." With this being the case, the human resource function plays a very important role. Should the human resource function be part of the senior management team?

12.The "journey to excellence" must begin with a healthcare leadership. Since all leadership must be involved, how would you deal with a member of leadership that does not support the initiative? Explain your rationale.

Please read the uploaded text chapter. Then discuss the following:

Identify at least one specific population disease trend change in the past 50 years, and describe its effect on the U.S. health care system. How has this trend influenced health care leadership decision making and practice?

I would like to focus on the ageing population and the role of healthcare organizations.

Thanks.
Chris.

Health Issues/Policy Analysis Paper
Guidelines and Grading Criteria

This purpose of the assignment is to explore health needs or problems within communities and to explore what health problems are for that particular community. Discussions with community leaders and experts provide what health problems priorities they perceive exist for that particular community and the plans and policies in place to improve the health disparities. The student relates the health determinants and the epidemiological concepts to the identified health disparities in their communities to provide leadership in the development of policy to affect health outcomes.

After reviewing information provided in course content about Healthy People 2020 and the list of national concerns, the student consults with three (3) to five (5) local authorities and experts in his/her home community to discern the individuals perceptions about their own community problems. Students need to obtain the national list from Healthy People 2020 web site and ask authorities in their communities to describe how community problems compare to national top three health problems.

Interview a variety of individuals in positions of leadership who have knowledge of the communitys health problems and challenges. Conduct the interviews with public health officials, community leaders, school officials, local council members, state representatives, etc. but include a cross section of the community, one nurse leader, or other health care providers.

Write a paper that details each community authoritys perceptions of the top three health concerns. The paper specifies the individual interviewed, the credentials, his/her perspectives of community needs, and why the individual feels these conditions are problematic. The use of first person in this assignment is acceptable. Many community leaders indicate common health concerns, but list in a separate section each individuals concerns. The student identifies at least nine (9) problems. The problems may certainly be the same or similar, but these must be listed according to the community leader who identified the issues as problematic. Differentiate each of the leaders policies for improving the health disparities, and then examine the effects of legal and regulatory processes on nursing practice, healthcare delivery, and outcomes

Investigate and report on the epidemiological information associated with the top three (3) problems identified including a list of resources and statistics from an epidemiology web site. The student needs to tie the community health concerns with the concepts of epidemiology in order to develop a cogent plan of action for the Advanced Practice Nurse to use when developing strategies to address the identified problems.

Then assess specific ways an Advanced Practice Nurse could make an impact on one of the problems. These impacts are specific to the chosen area of practice, i.e. FNP, CNS, ACNP, Management & Leadership, and Education and should include information about how the nurse might make a difference in addressing one of these problems.

Papers should be 6-8 pages in length, excluding title and reference pages using APA format. Points will be deducted for papers that either exceed or do not include 6-8 pages of text. The file containing the paper should be submitted in the assignment section and named with the STUDENTS last name and assignment name.

Leadership Style
Throughout your career, you will work with many people who display differing leadership styles. As a nurse leader, it is imperative that you communicate well and get along with those whose leadership style does not align with your preferences. It is also important to understand your own leadership style, as this can prompt insight into how others relate to you and what skills you may need to develop as your leadership responsibilities grow.
To prepare:
Review the information in the Learning Resources, including the leadership styles identified in Chapter 2 (p. 38) of the course text.
Bring to mind a leader in your organization or one with which you are familiar. Would you describe his or her style as authoritative, democratic, or laissez-faire? Why?
Which characteristics or approaches demonstrated by this person would you integrate into your own leadership style? Which ones would you prefer not to integrate?
Think about how this leaders style and resulting interactions may impact health care quality and patient outcomes.
Post on or before Day 3 a description of a leader, distinguishing his or her style as authoritative, democratic, or laissez-faire. Describe the characteristics that inform your perception, and explain which ones you would integrate into your own leadership style, as well as which ones you would prefer not to integrate. Explain at least one potential effect of this leadership style on health care quality and patient outcomes.

Healthcare Management -Assignment 1
You are the manager of a medical clinic in the community. You were hired two years ago. You just had your evaluation with the CEO and he is not happy with your performance. Staff morale seems to be at an all time low. Employees are tardy, less engaged at work, and recently you have noticed that departments (lab, pharmacy, medical records, insurance, provides, nurses) are more competitive then collaborative. Employees used to want to work there and now turnover is at an all time high. Committees are not working cooperatively; people are not showing to up to meetings and some of the working teams recently established seem to have their own agenda. Patient satisfaction surveys have gone down in the last two years as have employee satisfaction surveys. Your boss has told you that you will have 6 months to turn things around and will be re-evaluated at that time. What would you do?
1. What are the issues presented?
2. What are the major concerns caused by these issues?
3. What questions would you ask the patient to learn more about the problems?
4. What questions would you ask your employees?
5. Who are the other stakeholders you might seek input from?
6. What are the concerns for each stakeholder?
7. What are some of the questions you would ask to assess the situation?
8. Once you learned more information, what would you do to fix the problem?
Support your assertions with a minimum of 3 reputable sources (beyond the textbook). Use MLA format and appropriate grammar, spelling and punctuation. This paper should not be written in first person (no paper ever should!).

1. how much influence are nurses likely to have on health reform?
2. Review the PowerPoint presentation (See Resource files) to see the results of the survey.
Answer the following
? Reflect on your feelings about the survey results.

Introduction:

In this task, you will use a tracer methodology to track a patient?s care in order to evaluate the healthcare organization?s systems of providing care and services for a readiness audit. This methodology also makes it possible to assess the healthcare organization?s compliance with Joint Commission standards. This is part of the organization?s compliance with delivering safe, quality healthcare.

You will examine data for a patient that is found in the attached ?Accreditation Audit Case Study? and find any trends, patterns, and problems. Once these have been identified, you can remediate the concerns.

Task:

A. Review the tracer patient information from the attached ?Accreditation Audit Case Study? and do the following:

1. Discuss an outstanding patient care issue for the organization made evident by the tracer patient.

2. Develop a corrective action plan to address the patient care improvement needs for the organization.
