Assessment 1 Instructions: Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video

Assessment 1 Instructions: Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video

NOTE: I need a script created so I can follow to record this video 😉 Thank you.

  • For this assessment you will create a 5-10 minute video reflection on an experience in which you collaborated interprofessionally, as well as a brief discussion of an interprofessional collaboration scenario and how it could have been better approached.
    Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration, practitioners and patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better understand and address the many factors that contribute to health and well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by collaborating, health care practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are often at the frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full partners in this approach to health care.
    Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences and actions through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional collaboration, reflection can help you consider potential reasons for and causes of people’s actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given situation as well as how the team could have worked more effectively.
    As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity. The activity consists of five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection. The information gained from completing this formative will help with your success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagement. Assessment 1 Instructions: Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video
    Note: The Example Kaltura Reflection demonstrates how to cite sources appropriately in an oral presentation/video. The Example Kaltura Reflection video is not a reflection on the Vila Health activity. Your reflection assessment will focus on both your professional experience and the Vila Health activity as described in the scenario.

Assessment 3 Instructions: Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

Assessment 3 Instructions: Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

For this assessment you will create a 2-4 page plan proposal for an interprofessional team to collaborate and work toward driving improvements in the organizational issue you identified in the second assessment.
The health care industry is always striving to improve patient outcomes and attain organizational goals. Nurses can play a critical role in achieving these goals; one way to encourage nurse participation in larger organizational efforts is to create a culture of ownership and shared responsibility (Berkow et al., 2012). Participation in interdisciplinary teams can also offer nurses opportunities to share their expertise and leadership skills, fostering a sense of ownership and collegiality.
You are encouraged to complete the Budgeting for Nurses activity before you develop the plan proposal. The activity consists of seven questions that will allow you the opportunity to check your knowledge of budgeting basics and as well as the value of financial resource management. The information gained from completing this formative will promote success with the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal. Completing this activity also demonstrates your engagement in the course, requires just a few minutes of your time, and is not graded.

Objective

Describe what your plan will do and what you hope it will accomplish in one or two succinct sentences. Also, comment on how the objective, if achieved, will improve organizational or patient outcomes. For example:

Test a double-loop feedback model for evaluating new product risk with a small group of project managers with the goal of reducing the number of new products that fail to launch. This objective is aligned to the broader organizational goal of becoming more efficient taking products to market and, if successful, should improve outcomes by reducing waste.

Questions and Predictions

For this section ask yourself 3 to 5 questions about your objective and your overall plan. Make a prediction for each question by answering the question you posed. This helps you to define the important aspects of your plan as well as limit the scope and check its ability to be implemented.

For example:

  1. How much time will using a double-loop feedback model add to a project manager’s workload?
    1. At first, it will likely increase their workloads by 5 to 10 percent. However, as the process is refined and project managers become more familiar and efficient, that percentage will decrease.

Change Theories and Leadership Strategies

For this section, you may wish to draw upon the research you did regarding change theories and leadership for the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification assessment. The focus of this section is how those best practices will create buy-in for the project from an interdisciplinary team, improve their collaboration, and/or foster the team’s ability to implement the plan. Be sure that you are including at least one change theory and at least one leadership strategy in your explanation. Always remember to cite your sources; direct quotes require quotation marks and a page or paragraph number to be included in the citation.

Another way to approach your explanations in this section is to think through the following:

  • What is the theory or strategy?
  • How will it likely help an interdisciplinary team to collaborate, implement, and/or buy in to the project plan?
    • Make sure to frame this explanation within the organizational context of the proposed plan, that is, your interviewee’s organization.

Team Collaboration Strategy

In this section, begin by further defining the responsibilities and actions that represent the implementation of the plan. One strategy to defining this is to take a “who, what, where, and when” approach for each team member.

For example:

  • Project Manager A will apply the double-loop feedback model on one new product project for a single quarter.
  • Project Manager B will apply the double-loop feedback model on all new product projects for a quarter.

Vice President A will review the workloads of project managers using the double-loop feedback model every Thursday for one quarter. Assessment 3 Instructions: Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

After you have roughly outlined the roles and responsibilities of team members, you will explain one or more collaborative approaches that will enable the team to work efficiently to achieve the plan’s objective. As with the change theories and leadership strategies, you may draw on the research you conducted for the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification assessment. However, you are being asked to give a more in-depth explanation of the collaboration approaches and look at how they will help the theoretical interdisciplinary team in your plan proposal.

Another way to approach your explanations in this section is to think through the following:

  • What is the collaboration approach?
  • What types of collaboration and teamwork will best help the interdisciplinary team be successful?
  • How is the collaboration approach relevant to the team’s needs and will it help drive success?
    • Make sure to frame this explanation in terms of the subject of the plan proposal; that is, your interviewee’s organization.

Required Organizational Resources

For this section, you will be making rough estimates of the resources needed for your plan proposal to be successful. This section does not have to be exact but the estimates should be realistic for the chosen organization.

Items you should include or address in this section:

  • What are the staffing needs for your plan proposal?
  • What equipment or supplies are needed for your plan proposal?
    • Does the organization already have these?
      • If so, what is the cost associated with using these resources?
      • If not, what is the cost of acquiring these resources?
    • What access (to patients, departments, and so forth) is needed?
      • Are there any costs associated with these?
    • What is the overall financial budget request for the plan proposal?
      • Staff time, resource use, resource acquisition, and access charged?
        • Remember to include a specific dollar amount in your request.

After you have detailed your budget, make sure that you explain any impacts on organizational resources that could happen if your plan is not undertaken and successful. In other words, if the issue you are try to solve through your plan proposal persists or gets worse, what will be the potential costs to the organization?

Organizational Systems and Quality Leadership

Western Governors University

I will be providing a comparison of the United States Healthcare System to that of the German Healthcare system.

Germans residents have access to free public healthcare, which means medically necessary.   Social security contributions fund the medically essential healthcare. Citizens are required to have state or private health insurance.  To include procedures such as immunizations, prescriptions, and dental checks. All salaried workers in Germany have to have public health insurance, are not allowed private insurance. And if you are eligible for private insurance, you can choose one or the other, but you cannot have both. (German Insurance: Costs &Coverage, 2019)

In the US, public health care is offered, but individuals need to meet a particular set of criteria to receive free public healthcare.    Medicaid is government-financed insurance that assists many whose household income falls under a certain level to be covered by Medicaid. Similar to social medicine in Germany where if an individual is employed, the family is covered as long as their income falls below a level.  You make more; you pay more. (Healthcare in Germany, 2015) Those who are over the age of 65 or who have disabilities can be covered under Medicare.  Medicare is a program offered in the US as a federally funded healthcare system.  Children are either covered under their parents plan until the age of 26 if needed, and there are also government programs such as the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to provide health coverage through Medicaid and other programs.  These are funded jointly by state and federal government. (CHIP, 2019)

When an individual is unemployed in the US, they may not be eligible to receive government assistance.  Unlike coverage in the US, when a person in Germany becomes unemployed, they may receive transient coverage until employed again or otherwise directed.

In the US upon retirement at the age of 65, you will become eligible for Medicare, which will cover a lot of your medical expenses, but not all.  You will be able to get private Medigap coverage to shorten the gap between those expenses.  If unable to afford and upon further stipulations in regards to income, you may still qualify for Medicaid services also. Healthcare System Comparison Assignment

Germany has a social security system and statutory pension insurance: contributory, noncontributory social compensation program, and social welfare program. The contributory plan protects those who pay into them. The noncontributory social compensation program provides a program for those in the military or public service — the social welfare program aid to those who are not eligible under the other two programs.  (Healthcare in Germany, 2015)

In regards to medication coverage for the US and Germany, the medications are costly for both when health insurance is not in the picture. The US and Germany have a system in place cost-effective medication alternatives in many cases. There are cost effective medications for many diseases, but there are many very expensive medications to treat a variety of illness that are costly even with adequate coverage.  In the US, many use lower cost alternatives or generic to keep costs lower, or choose to forego the medication due to cost.  In Germany, in accordance with the many new drugs on the market, the more expensive medications have to prove they are actually better than the older counterpart, and if you choose to use the more expensive medication you will be responsible for the cost. (Khazan, 2014)

In the US, referrals to specialists are based upon the individual plan’s requirements.  Some don’t require a referral, and others do.  In Germany, the social plans must receive a referral from their PCP; whereas, private insurers may allow participants to choose any physician of their choosing. (Healthcare in Germany, 2015)

In the US, coverage for pre-existing conditions, according to the Affordable Care Act, can not infringe upon one’s right to access healthcare.  In Germany, pre-existing conditions are waived with universal coverage.  Private plans can deny coverage and charge higher premiums for elective treatments and accommodations.

In Germany, the financial implications are more taxes to fund the social sickness funds.  They are told that it is a duty to take care of one another, but many would argue that more taxes will cause hardship on families already expected to pay a high rate of taxes.  Similar is the US, a penalty is charged for those who choose to forego health insurance. If you do not qualify for government assistance and are employed, you may not be able to afford health coverage.  Healthcare System Comparison Assignment

Conflict Resolution Through Emotional Competence

Conflict Resolution Through Emotional Competence

Nursing Doctorate degree level paper:

2 pages. APA fomart, At least 2 references (must be withing 5 yrs). Absolutely plagiarism free. See quesions below.

Week 3: Conflict Resolution through Emotional Competence

Only when leaders integrate technical skills, goal-directed activities, and the ability to form meaningful relationships through emotional competence does optimal organizational effectiveness result.

Scenario:

A team of highly competent members has become adept at organizing and managing itself. The self-sufficiency of the team is appreciated by senior leadership who assumes the team can respond to challenges without support or guidance, given the team’s legacy of success. Recent challenges incited the team to request assistance; when assistance was not provided, the team began to make independent decisions. The team members believed they were the only ones who understood their work and avoided asking for help. The leaders involved believed that no news equaled good news. Neither the leaders nor the team members considered their work within the context of the entire organization. As a result, the team’s level of emotional competence decreased, along with their productivity. Conflict Resolution Through Emotional Competence

Consider this scenario and address the following.

·  Identify three strategies to reduce friction and build unity between the parties using emotional competence as the framework.

·  What outcomes would you identify to measure the effectiveness of each strategy?

·  Consider an adversarial relationship that exists between leaders and departments in your organization. How does the culture of the organization affect the situation? What knowledge, skills, and attitudes do you bring to the organization? What would others say are your leadership strengths? How can these strengths be used to reduce the adversarial relationship?
