“What roles can nursing assume to address the increasing demand for safe, high-quality, and effective health care services?”

/0 Comments/in /by

As health care delivery in the United States continues to evolve, either through mandates, improved technologies and training, or other drivers, nurses remain at the forefront in facilitating the success of new initiatives. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine formed a committee of experts to address the following question:

“What roles can nursing assume to address the increasing demand for safe, high-quality, and effective health care services?”

In the final report of the committee, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, the authors stated:

This report offers recommendations that collectively serve as a blueprint to

(1) ensure that nurses can practice to the full extent of their education and training,

(2) improve nursing education,

(3) provide opportunities for nurses to assume leadership positions and to serve as full partners in health care redesign and improvement efforts, and

(4) improve data collection for workforce planning and policy making. (p. 10)

For this Discussion, you will focus on the research recommendations presented by the committee concerning the role of nurses as leaders. The committee members believe that answers to these research questions are needed to advance the profession of nursing and to further expand their role in health care reform and improvement.

To prepare:

•Review Chapter 7 in The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health report provided in the Learning Resources. Focus on the information in Box 7.3, “Research Priorities for Transforming Nursing Leadership.”

(I am leaning toward one of these 2 – • Identification of the characteristics of mentors that have been (or could be) most successful in recruiting and training diverse nurses and nurse faculty. • Identification of the influence of nursing on important health care decisions at all levels.)

•Select one of the research priorities listed in Box 7.3 that is of particular interest to you and applicable to your career interests. Consider the benefits and challenges of researching and addressing this priority in nursing.

•Using the Walden library, identify two to three current articles that address your selected research priority. Consider the current state of research efforts on this priority.

•Reflect on how the research findings for your area of priority impact nurses as leaders in organizations and health care reform. Why is research on this priority important?

Post a description of the priority you selected and the benefits and challenges of further researching this area. Provide an overview of the articles you found (using appropriate APA citations) relating to this priority, and highlight any key findings. Explain how continued research in this area could strengthen the ability of nurses to lead in both individual organizations and as advocates of health care reform.

Review “Code of Fair Testing Practices in Education,” located on the American Psychological Association:  https://www.apa.org/science/programs/testing/fair-testing.pdf  What are your thoughts after reading the document? Did you realize it existed? How does the code apply to nursing education? The “Code of Fair Testing Practices in Education” is over 10 years old. Is it still relevant today? Why? If not, how should it be revised? Use correct APA format when citing.

Discussion 2

Healthcare Ethics and Law

A woman arrives at a suburban emergency room in active labor. Both she and her husband speak very little English. The staff determines that the mother (and baby) is uninsured and unable to pay for healthcare services out-of-pocket. The baby is showing signs of distress and needs to be delivered. The on-call OB-GYN physician refuses to come to the hospital. He recommends that the patient be transferred to another facility.  Provide a substantive 150 to 250 word initial post that fully answers the following questions:

  • What ethical principles relate to this case scenario?
  • What legal principles relate to this scenario?
  • What might the legal consequences be to the health care organization if there is a delay in treatment?

Utilize at least one scholarly source, cited in correct APA format that supports factual statements and conclusions about the topic.
