Reengineering Health Care Management By June Helbig

Introduction

An organization can be defined as a group of people working together to accomplish common goals. In order to be able to work together, there must be structure, rules, and regulations that govern those within the organization. Every organization must also have a leader—someone who will guide those within the organization to meet the goals of the organization. To be a successful organization, all of the organization’s members must know their roles and be responsible not only to themselves, but to the organization as a whole. There are several theories associated with the way organizations are managed and the different structures that exist within the organization. This chapter will discuss organizational theories, health care management, and the nurse leader’s role in reengineering health care. This chapter will explore change management and how it is applied to health care organizations. Strategies used to resolve practice issues, as well as the process of continuous quality improvement and the role of the nurse leader, will also be reviewed.

Can the CEO fire Leikvold?

Answer the Discussion Board board questions in paragraph form and reply to at least 1 classmate. 

Joan Leikvold was hired by Valley View Community Hospital as an operating room supervisor in 1972. She did not have a contract for a specific duration, nor was she told that the hospital would not discharge her except for cause. She was provided with a policy manual and told that the policies were to be followed in her employment relationship with the hospital. In 1978, she became the director of nursing. In October 1979, she requested a transfer back to her former position in the operating room. The chief executive officer (CEO) felt that it was inadvisable for someone who had been in a managerial position to take a subordinate position. Leikvold withdrew the transfer request but was subsequently fired. Her personnel record indicated “insubordination” as the reason for discharge. Leikvold was an at-will employee. At-will means that there is a contract made for an indefinite duration and either party, employer or employee, may terminate the contract at any time for any reason, or without reason, provided the reason is not discriminatory. Can the CEO fire Leikvold?

    Scenario
    As a BSN student, you are shadowing a Nurse Informaticist to better understand their role and impact in making healthcare decisions. You have one day in this immersion and will be exposed to several Health Information Technologies and their impact on healthcare decision making. Due to the fast-paced nature of the Nurse Informaticist role, the clinic manager has asked nursing students to come prepared to fully immerse into this fast-paced environment. You received a welcome email for your assigned Nurse Informaticist providing you with her background, but also asking you to spend some time reflecting on your own experience with healthcare technology. Reflect on your experiences both as a client and as a nurse, and how technology leveraged the decisions you have made. She also wants you to think about how technology evolves and its implications for future use.

Discuss symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in light of normal development in the following domains: language, cognition, emotion, and social.
  • Consider the following scenario, in which you presume the role of a clinician: You have recently met with Johnny and his family. Johnny is 7 years old and in the first grade. He has trouble sitting still, often loses things, will climb under and over the classroom desks, and will leap out of line in the hallways. He has an affinity for math, but he makes careless mistakes on previously mastered concepts. Other children in the classroom have complained about Johnny being too bossy or loud and tend to avoid sitting next to him or inviting him to play.
  • Your evaluation has determined that Johnny meets the criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Johnny’s parents are coming to your office tomorrow to discuss the results of your evaluation.
  • Prepare a written report of what you will tell Johnny’s parents about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Be sure to cover the symptoms that Johnny meets from the DSM-5 Checklist.
  • Discuss symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in light of normal development in the following domains: language, cognition, emotion, and social. In other words, what is noticeably different in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder versus what you might see in their same-age peers? Speak briefly to the controversy regarding these differences.
  • Summarize the research evidence on the effectiveness of different approaches to treatment, based on your textbook reading and at least one peer-reviewed journal article. Include your final treatment recommendation to Johnny’s parents.
  • Consider how you might answer if the parents ask, “How did our child end up with this disorder? What did we do wrong? Is there any hope for him?”
  • Based on what you have reviewed in your textbook as a whole regarding disorders in childhood, make a comment about how you could be an advocate for social change for children struggling with these disorders.
write 2-4 well-developed paragraphs discussing the steps/ considerations educational leaders (regardless of role) might take to make decisions.

1. Steps for Decision Making: After completing your reading and watching
the mini-lecture, write 2-4 well-developed paragraphs discussing the steps/
considerations educational leaders (regardless of role) might take to make
decisions. Provide evidence for your position from the course readings or
other scholarly evidence.

making process, write a 3-5 page paper identifying some of the decisions that
you will be expected to make in your leadership role (i.e. budgeting, resource
allocation, scheduling, hiring, discipline, policy development, etc). Reflect on
which of these decisions would incorporate shared decision making and
which decisions would be made unilaterally. Provide a rationale for your
response. Be sure to articulate who would be involved in any shared
decisions and what their role would be. Again, provide a rationale for your
response. Support your answer with evidence from the course reading or
other scholarly sources. Be sure to cite and reference your sources in APA
format.
