• Review the information on just culture presented in the Learning Resources.
• For this discussion, you will use the Regulatory Decision Pathway found in Russell, K. A. & Radtke, B. K. (2014).
• Examine an adverse event at the unit level in your organization or one with which you are familiar and apply the Regulatory Decision Pathway.
• Compare the findings of the Regulatory Decision Pathway  to what actually happened at the unit in your organization. Was the event deemed: bad intent, reckless, at risk, or human error? According to the pathway, do you now think it was the correct action?
• Think about how a nurse leader–manager may use just culture as a framework to create or maintain a focus on accountability and outcomes throughout a group. What actions could be taken if a systems–related error was made or if an error resulted from risky behavior?
• How might role conflict and/or ambiguity have contributed to the situation?

By Day 3

Post a description of an adverse event in your organization and your analysis of the issue using the Regulatory Decision Pathway. Explain how role conflict or ambiguity might have influenced this situation. Apply the principles of just culture as you explain how you, as the group’s manager, would handle the situation.

This assignment focuses on the importance of self-assessment and reflection.

Self-Assessment

Self-awareness is essential for developing leadership skills. Recognizing your own strengths, weaknesses, and values, and understanding emotional intelligence and learning styles can help you to be a more effective nurse leader.

For this assignment, you have the opportunity to take a variety of self-assessments to learn more about yourself and identify your assets and weaknesses as a leader. This will assist you in discovering how you can improve your own self-leadership skills. You will be asked to think critically about your results and submit a reflection as directed below.

Complete each of the following self-assessments. Be sure to document the results of each assessment to assist you in completing the reflection portion of the assignment below.

1. Emotional Intelligence Assessment: “Emotional Intelligence Test”: http://testyourself.psychtests.com/testid/3038

Self-Assessment Reflection

Becoming self-aware is an ongoing process requiring introspection. The more often people practice self-reflection, the more opportunities they have to understand their own behaviors and adapt their approaches to working with other people, which can improve both your own and other’s abilities to meet their professional goals.

In a 750-1,000 word reflective essay, address the following:

1. Briefly summarize the results of each self-assessment.
2. Identify the leadership style that closely aligns to your philosophy of care, and explain what appeals to you about that style.
3. Reflect on how you might incorporate elements of that particular style as you exercise leadership in a practice or health care organization setting.
4. Discuss any particular areas for improvement the assessments helped you identify and some steps for improving your leadership capabilities.

You are required to cite three to five sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

Nursing Informatics

Current Topics in Nursing Informatics

Each student in this course possesses a unique background and skill set. Drawing from your own career and experiences, identify a current information-technology-related problem or opportunity for improvement. 

• Explain the scope of the problem using both anecdotal and evidentiary information to “build your case” 
• Once you have identified and explained the problem, propose a solution or series of steps to be taken in order to improve the situation
• Your recommendations for improvement may include design and utilization of new technology or perhaps upgrades to that which already exists
• Be creative in your approach
• Explain how the changes will benefit nursing and improve patient outcomes
• Topics for discussion may include (but are not limited to): legal ramifications of information technology/systems, ethical considerations in information technology, redundancy in documentation, ease of use and navigation in chosen operating system, or the use of data to improve health outcomes
• Approach this assignment as though you are the advanced-practice informatics nurse responsible for convincing others that a change is needed and then moving forward with planning, implementation, and evaluation of the project
