INTRODUCTION
Healthcare is a complicated system that includes unique economic processes, regulatory
requirements, and quality indicators that are not found in traditional business settings. Therefore,
developing unique skill sets relating to organizational leadership and interprofessional team
development is essential for leaders within the healthcare industry at any level. As the complexity
within the healthcare industry increases, it is important to understand the comprehensive
approach to patient care management across the continuum and how the concepts of organizational leadership and team development support leaders in creating a patient-centric
environment.
The purpose of this assessment is to provide a framework through which you can experience
and understand the unique leadership concepts within healthcare and understand the
implications of business and regulatory requirements in providing patient-centered care. You will
use a system theory or a change theory, self-assessment tools, and team development concepts
to design a strategy to increase patient-centered care. Using leadership concepts and theories,
you will ensure a sustainable model of healthcare delivery throughout the changing healthcare
system that considers future trends, evidence-based practice, and regulatory expansion.
For this assessment, you will use the attached “Patient-and Family-Centered Care
Organizational Self-Assessment Tool,” to analyze how patient- and family-centered the
healthcare setting is. This form will guide you in evaluating this healthcare setting for strengths
and weaknesses in patient-centered care attributes. Based on your analysis, you will create a
strategy to improve patient-family-centered care.
