Health care management requires leadership skills which will test your ability to make vital decisions. “Like a rapidly mutating cancer cell, poor leadership within healthcare systems can cause toxi

Health care management requires leadership skills which will test your ability to make vital decisions. “Like a rapidly mutating cancer cell, poor leadership within healthcare systems can cause toxic symptoms that adversely impact organizational work cultures and staff satisfaction and lead to burnout” (Werberg, 2010, para. 1). Assessments made by leadership have a direct relation to many areas, including but not limited to the following: The quality of care provided, staff morale, and organizational reputation. As a trailblazer of your organization, you will use effective leadership skills to manage/avoid conflict, make effective recommendations, manage staff, and protect the overall quality/efficiency of the organization. To make effective decisions as a leader you should identify the major facts, indicate if or what problems exist, and finally, recommend a solution.

This assignment requires you to review a practical case study and analyze the elements of poor leadership. The case study also explores characteristics of a health care leader while introducing safety culture. Your assessment and responses to the realistic scenario should be based off leadership attributes.

Develop a wellness program with a holistic approach for the older adult you have identified, using resources available in your community. Discuss how this approach will prove an optimum level of well-being.

      Mrs. T>T. age 67 who is presently diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus, and has a hx of obesity, and non-healing wounds/ulcers. Non-compliance with medication and dietary regimens has caused Mrs. T.T.’s blood sugars and wound healing to be compromised. Getting this patient on the right track to facilitate a healthier way of eating which in turn would help with the wound healing process, decrease her HGB A1 ,and  promote weight loss. Maintaining and conforming to a healthier eating plan and exercising at least three times a week should boost her wellness. Mrs. T>T’s efforts to conform to these lifestyle changes will not be in vain if the end result increases her longevity as well as her quality of life. First lab values should be obtained to get a baseline. Secondly, teaching her how to accurately and frequently obtain her blood glucose level and how and when to use her insulin is a fundamental part of this wellness process. Providing education as well as demonstrating healthier ways to prepare food is a vital component as it relates to wellness.  Mrs. T>T. should be taught how to dress her wounds as well as being able to detect, if any new wounds are present and when to contact the physician or wound nurse. Information on various exercise groups with individuals her age will hopefully make Mrs. T>t. look forward to the activity for social and health conscious reasons. An optimum level of wellness should be evident through maintaining health Hgb A1C levels, weight loss, and adherence to her medication regimen as it related to her Diabetes Mellitus diagnosis.

Diabetes Mellitus vs Diabetes Insipidus

  Kidneys are remarkable organs, but sometimes their filtering system breaks down. Diabetes is one of the most common disorders associated with kidney damage and failure. One of the causes of kidney failure is diabetes mellitus, a condition characterized by high blood glucose (sugar) levels. Over time, the high levels of sugar in the blood damage the microscopic structures within each kidney. Diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus both affect the urinary system and can have similar symptoms. Although diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus are caused by different processes, both conditions cause frequent urination.

 Refer information from this link https://online.vitalsource.com/#/books/9780323427951/pageid/0

1.   Although both diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus produce large urine volumes, how would other characteristics of the urine differ between the two diseases?

2.   How are the symptoms of each disease different? How are they similar?

3.   Complete an internet search for how diabetes mellitus is coded in the ICD-10-CM classification system (an example search might include the terms diabetes mellitus and medical coding). What did you discover about coding for this disorder?

Using Evaluations to Prepare For Accreditation

Your course text defines evaluation as “a systematic assessment of all components of a program through the application of evaluation approaches, techniques, and knowledge in order to improve the planning, implementation, and effectiveness of programs” (Billings, 2012, p. 503). When carefully constructed, a master plan of evaluation can run like a well-oiled machine. Data are collected, analyzed, and acted upon. When documented correctly, this data can also help institutions and agencies prepare for accreditation.

In this Discussion, you consider the curriculum components you might include in your team’s evaluation plan. You also consider how information gathered about these components can help your team’s setting prepare for accreditation.

To prepare:

  • Review Chapter 26, “Educational Program Evaluation,” in the Billings text. Specifically, examine how Table 28-2 illustrates one piece of an evaluation plan. Then, explore each of the overarching curriculum components nurse educators may choose to evaluate: mission and goals, curriculum organization, course, teaching effectiveness, environment, intervening mechanism, and generalization.
  • Reflect on the evaluation models your team discussed for your Course Project.
  • Consider the curriculum components you could integrate into these evaluation models. How would feedback on these components help your assigned setting improve the quality of the curriculum? In addition, how might this same information help to prepare for accreditation?

By Day 3

Post a brief description of at least two curriculum components you would include in the evaluation model(s) used in your Course Project and why. Explain how this information, as well as your team’s overall evaluation approach, could help your setting prepare for accreditation, if applicable. Justify your response by providing references to your Course Project and Learning Resources as applicable.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.

By Day 6

Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days using one or more of the following approaches:

  • Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, evidence, or research.
  • Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.
  • Make a suggestion based on additional evidence drawn from readings or after synthesizing multiple postings.
  • Expand on your colleagues’ postings by providing additional insights or contrasting perspectives based on readings and evidence.

Post an evaluation of your organization’s use of EBP and how it is furthered or hindered by organizational culture and policies. Describe how you could disseminate the findings.

My question

Post an evaluation of your organization’s use of EBP and how it is furthered or hindered by organizational culture and policies. Describe how you could disseminate the findings. Propose a strategy for strengthening the culture of EBP within the organization. Discuss a nurse’s responsibility to further the use of EBP, providing a rationale supported by specific information from the Learning Resources. 

To prepare:

  • Review the information in this week’s Learning Resources. Examine the various suggestions for promoting an organizational culture that embraces the use of EBP.
  • Reflect on your own organization’s (or one in which you have worked) support of evidence-based practice. Examine how culture and policies impact the adoption of changes to practice based on evidence. What barriers exist?
  • Consider the models and suggestions for promoting evidence-based practice featured in this week’s Learning Resources. Identify models and suggestions that would work well in your organization.
  • Reflect on the significance of evidence-based practice in health care. What responsibility do nurses have to promote EBP and change practices to better reflect evidence and research findings?
  • Reflect on how nurses can disseminate findings from evidence-based practice research.
