Leadership in Program Planning

As a nurse who is involved as a leader, you may be in a position to develop and implement wellness and prevention programs, disease management programs, or quality management programs. Such program development can enable the nurse leader to foster a proactive approach that involves the patient in the management of her individual health care needs. By utilizing a self-health-care approach, the goal is for the patient to have a better understanding of matters relating to his health, to maintain a more active lifestyle, and to have mental well-being.

Your assignment this week is to demonstrate your leadership ability by planning one of the following programs, to be implemented in either your workplace or somewhere within your community:

  • Prevention program.
  • Disease management program.
  • Quality management program.

Write up your chosen program idea in a formal APA paper with a title page (see page 23 in your APA Manual) and references (no abstract required). The paper should include:

  1. Introduction of program idea.
  2. Narrative description: The narrative provides the overall description for each of the major components of your chosen program idea.
  3. Statement of problem or needs and resources assessment: This should represent a brief synopsis of the key findings identified for why you want to implement this program (this must be supported with a minimum of two references). Define the priority target populations or community sectors (for example, high school students, college students, alcohol outlets, neighborhood zone, nursing or medical staff, certain patient demographic, et cetera).
  4. Planning process and identification of priorities: This section should include the overall planning process of how you would put the program together. What are current nursing evidence-based practices and research components that would support your program idea? (You should have a minimum of three.)
  5. Project management and collaboration: Describe the overall collaboration, organization, and management structure that would be needed to implement your program idea.
  6. Strategies and tools to manage information: Identify strategies to use information management tools to monitor the outcomes of your suggested program.
  7. Conclusion of your program idea.

Topic 5 – Part 3 (60 points)

Write a formal paper (500-1,000 words in length), using APA format. Include a title and a reference page. An abstract, introduction, and conclusion are not required. Include a title page and a reference page, and the following:

  1. Discuss past and present funding for initiatives that address the health issue. Include both public and private sources.
  2. Analyze past and present quality initiatives that address the health issue. Include both public and private sources.
  3. Differentiate how being insured versus uninsured impacts health outcomes relative to this issue;

(1) Describe a department or unit within a health care organization using systems theory terminology. Include a description of inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback.

/0 Comments/in /by

As noted in the Learning Resources, systems theory provides a meaningful and beneficial means of examining challenges in health care organizations. To do this effectively, however, it is essential to assess all system components, as some may be relatively healthy while others are problematic.

For this Assignment, you apply systems theory to the examination of a problem in a department or a unit within a health care organization. (Note: You may use the same problem you identified for the Discussion as long as it meets the criteria for this assignment.)

To prepare:

Review the Meyer article, “Nursing Services Delivery Theory: An Open System Approach,” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus especially on the information presented in Table 1 (p. 2831) and Figure 2 (p. 2833).

Reflect on your organization or one with which you are familiar ( Refer to the first discussion you did for me, My organization is a hospital University of Maryland Medical center) . Within a particular department or unit in this organization, identify a problem the staff is encountering.

Using Table 1 in the Meyer article as a guide, analyze the department or unit, identifying inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback. Consider whether the problem you have selected relates to input, throughput, output, cycles of events, and/or negative feedback.

Think about how you could address the problem: Consider what a desired outcome would be, then formulate related goals and objectives, and translate those goals into policies and procedures.

Research professional standards that are pertinent to your identified problem.

Reflect on the organization’s mission statement and values. In addition, consider how addressing this problem would uphold the mission and values, while improving the organizational culture and climate. (Depending on the organization you have selected, you may have explored these in the Week 1 Discussion.)

To complete:

Write a 4- to 5-page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following:

(1) Describe a department or unit within a health care organization using systems theory terminology. Include a description of inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback.

(2) Describe the problem you identified within the department or unit using an open- systems approach, and state where the problem exists using the systems theory model (input, throughput, output, cycles of events, or negative feedback).

(3) Based on this information, explain how you would address the problem as follows:

(a) Formulate a desired outcome.

(b) Identify goals and objectives that would facilitate that outcome.

(c) Translate those goals and objectives into policies and procedures for the department or unit.

(d) Describe relevant professional standards.

(4) Explain how your proposed resolution to the problem would uphold the organization’s mission and values and improve the culture and climate.

Guidance for Application Assignments:

Application Assignments require a title page, introduction, body of the paper, conclusion, and reference page. The title page needs to follows APA style and includes a title, student name, course number and section, and date. An abstract is not required. APA style headings are to be used appropriately to separate and organize sections of the paper. The use of direct quotes is discouraged and should only be used when the source material uses language that is particularly striking or notable. The introduction should provide an overview of the topic, the purpose of the paper, and topics that will be addressed. The body of the paper needs to address all required topics. The conclusion ought to provide closure for the reader, synthesize the content, and tie everything together to help clarify the main points of the paper. The reference page should include all references cited in the assignment in correct APA format.. Credible sources include scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles, evidence based resources, and professional (.org), educational (.edu), and government websites (.gov). Commercial websites (.com) are not considered credible sources. Please note: When selecting articles for course assignments, you are advised (unless you are referencing seminal information) to focus on work published within the past five years.
