Introduction
As we begin this week’s lesson, we will reflect on the course content over the last 7 weeks, with a specific focus on quality of care and share and discuss the executive-summary assignment you completed and submitted last week. Your peers will post their executive-summary assignments to seek peer input and feedback.
Quality of Care
nr-531 Week 8
Over the last 7 weeks of the course, we have become familiar with various aspects of the nursing-administrator, or nursing-executive role and various influences that affect aspects of the role and outcomes. Decision making and problem solving occurs on a daily basis as a nurse leader. Being self-aware of your strengths and areas of opportunity can be helpful to grow and become a better leader. As we discussed throughout the course, a transformational-leadership style can provide many benefits to the organization. Using the vision and mission statement for the organization is vital to assist in planning strategic goals for the organization and your individual area.
Empowering members of the team to harness their talents and creativity is one way to encourage their individual growth and growth for the organization. A team’s culture, collaboration, and motivation can have a direct effect on the outcomes of an organization, which can influence the quality of care (Marquis & Huston, 2015).
nr-531 Week 8
As the nurse leader, choosing a nurse-practice model that is a good match for your organization’s mission, vision, and goals can help facilitate the various outcome measures required by internal and external forces. Many of these forces focus on quality of care and other areas of improvement. Earlier in the course, we discussed the Forces of Magnetism and how these may impact the outcomes of an organization. As we discussed last week, there are various agencies that require specific data to be monitored and reported.
Executive Summary
nr-531 Week 8
As we discussed last week, the executive summary is a written, nonverbal communication tool used to share concise information related to a specific goal or area (Roussel, 2013). Utilizing this communication tool can be beneficial to provide an overview of a new change or process or follow-up from a site visit by accrediting or licensing bodies.
Summary
This week, we reflected on the course content over the last 7 weeks; specifically, sharing and discussing our executive summary and providing feedback to peers. The nurse administrator role is vital to healthcare organizations to oversee and facilitate quality of care.
