Nursing professionals do not only communicate with others within their organizations—often, they are also the first point of contact with patients. Thus, nursing professionals need superior communication skills to explain procedures and medication instructions, as well as to listen to what patients need to say.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

  • Competency 2: Describe the concepts, processes, and tools required to conduct comprehensive health assessments for individuals, families, communities, and populations.
    • Recommend evidence-based strategies to improve nurse-client/patient communication.
    • Explain how nurse-client/patient communication strategies consider individual demographics.
  • Competency 3: Explain the internal and external factors that can affect the health of individuals, families, communities, and populations.

Health Service Organization

Health Service Organization

Consider the following scenario:

Rene is a health care administrator who works for a Health Service Organization (HSO) in a large urban area. Because she was previously a health care provider, Rene is sensitive to the need for health care delivery that also promotes patient safety. As part of the responsibilities of working within the HSO, the board of directors has asked René about the needs of the HSO for fostering improvement initiatives. To that end, René suggested initiatives aimed at increasing patient safety in light of a recent report citing poor patient safety across all departments in the HSO. The board agreed and has made Rene responsible for developing a new patient safety initiative. Rene quickly communicated with several department leads to determine potential courses of action to improve patient safety within the HSO. A meeting to hear from each respective department with contributions on how to implement a new patient initiative is slated for next week. Several department heads and the board of the HSO have been impressed with the commitment that Rene has demonstrated thus far. Health Service Organization

How are improvement initiatives put into place within HSOs? How might leadership and the approaches used by leaders contribute to the implementation of improvement initiatives in practice? As a current or future health care administrator, you will likely encounter improvement initiatives aimed at increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of health care delivery.

For this discussion, reflect on the scenario presented and consider the role of leadership in improving initiatives in HSOs. Then, think about improvement initiatives currently in place at your HSO or an HSO with which you are familiar.

Post a description of the improvement initiative(s) currently in place at your Health Service Organization (HSO) or an HSO with which you are familiar. Explain how leadership is related to the particular improvement initiative selected. Then, explain the levels of the integrated system of the HSO and suggest two approaches that leadership might use to work within these levels to execute the improvement initiative you selected. Be specific, and provide examples.

Assignment: The Impact Of Nursing Informatics On Patient Outcomes And Patient Care Efficiencies

In the discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?

Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals are two of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant role in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.

Global Healthcare Comparison Matrix And Narrative Statement

If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?

You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures. Global Healthcare Comparison Matrix And Narrative Statement

Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.
