¶ … Managing Barriers
Barriers encountered in the Capstone project revolved around the idea that the staff felt it was not there job to read rhythm strips, and did not make the time to get off the floor for any continuing education. Good leadership can help eliminate these kinds of problems, as the problems have to be addressed from the standpoint of people who will insist that everyone does his or her job and makes the time to get involved with things like continuing education. As can be seen, there are generally a number of barriers that are encountered when trying to implement a change in practice. Even if that change will resolve a problem or address a concern, many people are still going to be resistant to it. The main barriers can include resistance to change from staff, lack of leadership, lack of resources (both financial and fiscal), environment, communication, and stakeholders, along with others (Pexton, 2005). Recognizing a barrier means an opportunity to take action to get that barrier out of the way.
Funk, Tornquist, and Champagne (1991) developed a scale based on four categories of barriers to research by nurses in practice. These factors were: characteristics of the potential adopter, characteristics of the organization, characteristics of the research,...
There are also a number of ethical and legal dilemmas that have to be addressed, and that can affect barriers in nursing. Nurses have to take appropriate action to address issues like professionalism, health policy, reimbursement, and organizations that provide care. Professional ethics are part of the nurse's routine and, as such, professional organizations and groups have developed codes to follow. The American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (2001) is one of those sources nurses use for guidance when ethical issues are experienced. Nurses also have a responsibility to report any unethical, incompetent, or illegal practices they come across.
Other ethical issues facing nurses include who gets access to healthcare, resource allocation, staffing and delegation, fraud and abuse, end-of-life concerns, informed consent, and ethics in research (Finkelman & Kenner, 2010). Unfortunately, there has been a long history of ethical problems in research, which led to reform and legal guidelines in the 1970s. Since that time, more attention has been paid to ethics when research is conducted and reported. Informed consent and IRB approval are both requirements, as well.…

This research will take a different approach, examining what barriers exist within hospital and medical communities in an attempt to determine how
Management and Business Management Theories and Principles of Each Reading The Fifth Discipline forces managers to look at the way in which learning disabilities which are common to organizations can actually stunt their growth and progress. The author targets several common learning disabilities which can riddle even powerful organizations, they are: identifying with only one position, external enemies, the illusion of taking charge, fixation on events, the parable of the boiled frog,
Management Principles Management Leadership Model Paper: Management Principles Research suggests that everyone is a manager in their own way. For instance, everyone manages his finances, time, careers and relationships. These examples of managing are simple and straightforward. However, when concepts of management apply in organizations, management becomes complex. At such a point, it calls for extensive studying in order to understand the theoretical basis of management. The application of management and the enunciation
Furuholt, (2006) argues that lack of management engagement to the acceptance of information systems has been a barrier to the implementation of information systems. The issues are even common with organizations in the developing countries where management does not give enough priority to the information systems implementation. Importantly, implementation of information systems requires management support since management will need to approve fund that would be used for IS implementation.
If these managers are unfit at achieving such objectives, the change process will not be effective. Establish the vision and the strategy Any change management process must start by building a vision that the new organization will be based on. Same as all companies are built on a vision of their founders, so should the new organization that will result after the change management process, be built on a vision. Although the
