Project description
book name; leaderships and management tools for the new nurse. A case study approach
Discussion Questions Chapters 17, 18, and 19
The following scenario introduces a conflict that needs to be resolved. As a nurse manager/leader how would you go about resolving this conflict to where both Team A and Team B can reach a common ground in order to work together for the good of the patients and the work environment.
Team A has stopped talking to Team B. If several members of Team A are out sick, no one on Team B will help Team A with their work. Likewise, Team A members will not take telephone messages for anyone on Team B. Instead, they ask the person to call back later. When members of the two teams pass each other in the hall, they either glare at each other or turn away to avoid eye contact. Arguments erupt when members of the two teams need the same computer terminal or another piece of equipment at the same time.
Assessment of Community-Level Barriers
For the second written assignment of the course, you will continue in the design of your proposed model program by demonstrating your understanding of your selected populations challenges, which negatively impact this groups health and well-being. Based on this weeks research, conduct an assessment of the barriers, limitations, and other distinguishing features, as they exist within your community.
Prepare a recap of the model program for your community that you originally shared in the week 2 written assignment. As stated in the Week Two directions, changes to the potential program can be made as you research and develop the focus of the program.
Analyze and discuss at least three critical barriers that impact the health and well-being of your chosen group; one must be a micro-level (individual) barrier that is financial, one must be a macro-level (community/state) barrier that relates to access and funding for care, and the third barrier may be one of your choosing.
Discuss at least one proposed solution for each barrier. Your solution for the micro barrier must include an analysis of various potential funding options (both independent and integrated). Your solution for the macro barrier must include an analysis of financing resources for health care.
Research and analyze the regulatory, legal, ethical, and accreditation requirements and issues for the service(s) offered in your proposed program. Discuss how each will impact the management of the program.
Your assignment should be a minimum of three pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and should include a minimum of three scholarly sources cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Please note: All assignments in this course are progressive; therefore you should use the same population selected in your Week Two assignment. The Week Two assignments contents do not need to be re-submitted with this assignment.
