Improvement Plan In-Service Presentation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Instructions

For this assessment, you will develop an 8-14 slide PowerPoint presentation with thorough speaker’s notes designed
for a hypothetical in-service session related to the improvement plan you developed in Assessment 2.
As a practicing professional, you are likely to present educational in-services or training to staff pertaining to quality
improvement (QI) measures of safety improvement interventions. Such in-services and training sessions should be
presented in a creative and innovative manner to hold the audience’s attention and promote knowledge acquisition
and skill application that changes practice for the better. The teaching sessions may include a presentation, audience
participation via simulation or other interactive strategy, audiovisual media, and participant learning evaluation.
The use of in-services and/or training sessions has positive implications for nursing practice by increasing staff
confidence when providing care to specific patient populations. It also allows for a safe and nonthreatening
environment where staff nurses can practice their skills prior to a real patient event. Participation in learning sessions
fosters a team approach, collaboration, patient safety, and greater patient satisfaction rates in the health care
environment (Patel & Wright, 2018).
As you prepare to complete the assessment, consider the impact of in-service training on patient outcomes as well
as practice outcomes for staff nurses. Be sure to support your thoughts on the effectiveness of educating and
training staff to increase the quality of care provided to patients by examining the literature and established best
practices.
You are encouraged to explore the AONE Nurse Executive Competencies Review activity before you develop the
Improvement Plan In-Service Presentation. This activity will help you review your understanding of the AONE Nurse
Executive Competencies—especially those related to competencies relevant to developing an effective training
session and presentation. This is for your own practice and self-assessment, and demonstrates your engagement in
the course.

Dementia (Case study)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Audrey (aged 71) and Edward (aged 74) are a couple who have been married
for nearly fifty years and have a very close relationship. They have lived in the
same home for over 35 of those years and enjoy where they live – although in
recent years there have been many changes in the area, with new subdivisions
being made, many new buildings along with new roads and changes to existing
street configurations.
Dr Susan Saunders has been their general practitioner for the past ten years. Dr
Saunders notes that over that time they have attended routine appointments
together and have enjoyed generally good health, although Audrey has some
mild arthritis in her hips and fingers. Today, Edward has made an appointment
to see Dr Saunders without Audrey present. He tells Dr Saunders that he is
worried about Audrey’s memory. During the last month, Audrey has misplaced
her car keys three times (although on each occasion she did find them a short
time later). Having recently watched a documentary about dementia, Edward is
very worried that Audrey might have dementia. He has thus been watching her
closely for any other possible signs of dementia, and a couple of events have
added to his concerns.
Edward explains that last week Audrey walked into their lounge room, and
completely forgot what she had gone in there for. She retraced her steps
however, and remembered she was going into the lounge room to get her
reading glasses. Edward added that during a recent cleaning spree, they had
rearranged the items in the kitchen cupboards. A couple of days later when
making a cup of tea, Audrey forgot that the cups had been moved, and she went
to the wrong cupboard to get them. Although she immediately realised what she
had done, laughed about it, and quickly went to the correct cupboard, this
incident just added to his concerns.
Dr Saunders asks if they have noticed other changes. For example, has Audrey
had any new health issues? Is she managing her daily activities and chores?
Edward confirms that Audrey has not had any recent illnesses or medication
changes, is still participating in all her regular activities including driving her car,
going out with their friends to play golf and, as usual, continues to share all the
cooking, gardening, and housework duties with Edward. She has also been very
busy planning and organising a trip to Europe to see friends in Germany and
Croatia. Edward tells Dr Saunders that Audrey has always enjoyed organising
their holidays away and on this occasion she seems to be managing it well.
Edward also tells the doctor about one odd incident that happened about six
months ago – he tells the doctor that Audrey was driving home from a friend’s
house and became disoriented and could not remember how to get home on this
usually familiar route. He said that Audrey pulled over and rang him on her
mobile phone to tell him that she could not remember the way home, but after
they spoke for a couple of minutes she suddenly said that she had just
remembered the route and would be home shortly. She then made it safely
home without further incident. Otherwise, apart from the memory issues
mentioned earlier, Edward says there have been no other concerns or issues
worrying them.

Nursing Conflict Resolution Case Study – Conflict Resolution Strategies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Conflict Resolution Strategies

Assignment Objective: To explore conflict resolution strategies.

Tied to Course Objective: Apply problem solving principles to a conflict situation in the workplace (Student Learning Outcomes 2, 5, 8)

Assignment Rationale: “Leaders work to implement changes that will have positive outcomes, but they also need to realize that there may be negative outcomes as well…. One of the most common outcomes of change is conflict” (Grossman & Valiga, p. 128).

Directions: The purpose of this assignment is to apply conflict resolution theory and communication principles to a life situation of your choice. There are no preselected conflicts. You will create your own case study from your experiences. This is a formal paper written in third person, and includes title page, introduction and conclusion appropriate level headings (listed below) and scholarly reference citations. Use correct APA format (6th edition) and pay close attention to correct spelling, grammar and sentence structure. Papers should be 6-7 pages (excluding cover page and references). Limit the use of direct quotations to no more than 2 per page of narrative.

Please provide an introduction, use the following level one headings in addition to Conclusion:
Description of the Conflict
Cost of the Conflict
Diagnosis of the Situation
Identification of Roles
Action Taken
You will have your choice of scenarios (choose only one):
Choice One: healthcare worker – to – patient and/or family conflict
Choice Two: healthcare worker – to – healthcare worker conflict
Do not refer to anyone by name; use initials only
Make sure you provide a clear description of the conflict, ‘paint a picture’ by describing: who, what, when and where. Leave the reader with a clear story about the conflict situation. If appropriate, describe antecedents (such as “T.L., a 40ish male nurse, and M.C., a 20ish female respiratory therapist, have had a civil, yet tense, relationship for weeks after T.L. was vocal about M.C.’s perceived lack of competence during a code.”).
It is expected that the student will use at least seven (7) scholarly resources to support an explanation of both effective communication principles and application of a conflict resolution theory. Information may be obtained from credible websites or journals as well as the text.
Three Required references: Advancing Your Career (Kearney-Nunnery), Nursing Leadership & Management (Murray) Chpt 6, and The Third Side resources .
Options for remaining references: any scholarly book, journal or website.
You must have at least 2 business references: Think ‘outside the box’ and consider the New York Times, BusinessWeek or Forbes (available online). Also, consider searching on Business Full Text (EBSCO), available via the PSC Library database.
You must have at least 2 nursing references: Consider nursing journals as Journal of Nursing Administration, Nursing Management or Nursing Administration Quarterly (all available on OVID via the PSC Library database).
Submit the paper to the Assignment due box by the published deadline. Points will be deducted for each day the paper is late (see late work policy in syllabus).
Use the TLCC, if you need help with composition or APA formatting.

For the case study, use The Third Side (3S) assumptions and skills (on CANVAS). There are two resources. The first resource is the author William Ury’s Website. Explore the site and listen to one video of your choice. In the upper navigation bar, click “10 Roles” and review them. The second resource is an overview of the The Third Side which may help you synthesize what you have read. Include the following elements to offer a resolution to the conflict:

Review the 3S overview, assumptions and skills.
http://www.beyondintractability.org/essay/thirdsiders (Links to an external site.) and http://thirdside.williamury.com/ (Links to an external site.)

Apply 3S to your situation (assess cost, diagnose situation, identify roles and take action) http://thirdside.williamury.com/ (Links to an external site.) and http://www.beyondintractability.org/essay/thirdsiders (Links to an external site.)

Step One- review the cost of the conflict. Use the following table to gather your information. Then incorporate findings into your paper.
http://thirdside.williamury.com/apply/measuring-conflict-cost/ (Links to an external site.)

Step Two- use the 3S resources to diagnose the situation (overt, covert, etc.)
http://thirdside.williamury.com/apply/ (Links to an external site.)

http://www.williamury.com/mapper/mapper_v1.html (Links to an external site.)

Step Three- identify roles that each member of the conflict is playing, such as the provider, the bridge-builder, etc.
http://thirdside.williamury.com/roles-overview/ (Links to an external site.)

Step Four- use the resources to take action (how you would resolve the conflict, such as change the story or create a winning alliance)

SMART Guidelines (Reflection Paper)

/0 Comments/in /by

Instructions

Reflect on the vaccine program presented in this week’s Introduction. Vague goals such as “save the lives of babies” can be improved by turning them into goals with objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely (SMART). For example, instead of just “increase rates,” one could be specific by stating, “Change knowledge, attitudes, and behavior so parents will vaccinate their children.” This objective could be made measurable by adding “so that rates will be 10% higher than the current 74% infant vaccination rate.” In order to be achievable an objective should be doable, and to be relevant projects should actually make a difference to the target community. Finally, always designate time limits, such as “by the end of 2020.” Many federal funding agencies now require objectives to be stated according to SMART Guidelines.

For this Assignment, use the SMART guidelines to draft one goal and three supporting objectives for your SPP.

Writer: The community Health Issue I selected was: “The growing and high prevalence of childhood obesity in the State of Alabama”.

Assignment Details

Write a FULL 5 Pages:

  • Explanation of three potential implications of having poorly articulated goals and objectives for a public health program.
  • Describe the goal and objectives you drafted.
  • Finally, explain how these goals and objectives can contribute to the effectiveness of your public health program.

Support your response using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

Be sure to support your paper and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources, the current literature and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.
