Kevin CollazoWGU
Abstract
Numerous factors have caused for the rapid evolving change in healthcare management culture. Factors such as technology, ever-changing policies, procedures and population growth push for healthcare organizations to undertake new and improved initiatives. In order to develop a concrete and realistic plan to stimulate and adapt to the changing culture, is imperative we look at major stakeholders and how they would be affected. More so, as healthcare administrative professionals our main focus should be a patient first mindset. With that being said in this analysis we will examine new strategies for change …show more content…

The healthcare industry is currently undergoing mass-scale changes causing providers to adapt to new ways of doing things. It is the dream of every provider to give out the best service by the use of the most accurate and newest test and treatments. The United States healthcare system has been poor for a very long time; the greatest fault comes from the fragmentation of the delivery system which leads to low quality service in the country despite the highly skilled professionals. Neglected health care services usually arise from the primary stakeholders; patients, providers, employers, payers and the government in the healthcare system. Jonas, Goldsteen & Goldsteen (2012) explains that the patients form the greatest stakeholders in the healthcare system. Therefore it is the role of the major stakeholders to ensure that there is improved a quality of service that is being delivered in the country (Jonas, Goldsteen & Goldsteen 2012). In this research we’ll examine the role of each of the key stakeholders, barriers for change and their leverage points. We will also develop and examine strategies for change in management with two different approaches to enact change while considering their strengths and weaknesses. Lastly we will take a look at a implementation plan and action steps engaging all members of the practice and putting patients as the …show more content…

By this I mean, engaging the change team, getting all the key stakeholders involved in the idea and taking their input. Secondly we would determine the compositions of the team guaranteeing that the needs of the patients and employees are well taken care of. In third place, we would increase the communication lines. Keeping the practice aware of the change team’s ideas, communicating the change team’s work to your patients is key for the change to work. Therefore is important to incorporate information about the change into a personalized pre-visit phone call or simply let patients know of the changes during the rooming process. Pamphlets in the waiting and exam rooms could also be used to remind patients of the changes before their visit begins.The idea is to make everyone feel they are on the same page, no matter in what level of the hierarchy they are at. Although this idea may sound perfect, it has many flaws. One of the biggest flaws in this approach is making sure to keep everyone in the same page. Most people tend to react negatively to change, so implementing such big changes and ensuring majority of the stakeholders affect are satisfy is almost impossible. Therefore such changes and implementations should be handle with

Eric Dishman’s Ted talk, “Healthcare Should be a Team Sport”, shares how today’s health care needs to conform and revolutionized to fit in today’s technological, and widespread society. A patient told him to take control of his health, and not let the doctors take control of him. Dishman goes into detail how the healthcare system is a “flawed expensive system that is set up in the wrong way” (2:07). The American health system is dependent on clinics and the occupants residing within, how specialists are necessary in the healthcare system to look at specific parts of us, and having passive patients that would follow the orders of a doctor, that might satisfy the appropriate issue at hand, and satisfying the individual patients’ needs.

As a nursing manager in this scenario, I could assist in implementing this strategy by locating and grooming employees that embrace change with positivity as potential leaders for the expansion, or for them to become leaders in the med-surge unit should staff be transferred. I could also compile references and begin to create a knowledge base for the community hospital to begin to bring other employees up to speed on the impending

The Analysis of Today’s Medical Care In healthcare, the patient's best interest is supposed to be the top priority. An article from The New York Times written by Pamela Hartzband and Jerome Groopman, two physicians, shows how health care may be going away from caring for the individual in order to look out for the population. The physicians use lots of ethos, logos, and pathos to build a strong argument informing the audience as to why they think medical care is becoming corrupt. The physicians begin their article stating what every patient should expect when they into the hospital; the best interest for themselves.

Introduction Effective leadership by professionals is crucial in all healthcare organizations. The way workers define leadership has changed from generation to generation, however, a common description of leadership is the motivating behavior of an individual directing the activities of a group towards a shared goal. (Ward, 2017) Influencing group activities and coping with change are some of the key aspects that an individual in a leadership role will be working towards. According to an article, "management is about coping with complexity" and "leadership is about coping with change", therefore, both aspects are critical to a successful leader.

Any change is a challenge and can cause extra pressure or issues for some, as a manager I need to be aware of this and minimise this so that I am able to keep my team focused.

We can nurture such cultures by encouraging team cohesion, developing a sense of team optimism about the work and building a sense of efficacy. Good leaders enable their team members to feel confident in the ability of the team to achieve its goals and deliver high quality, compassionate and inspiring care. Listen constantly and carefully in order to learn about the obstacles and hindrances those frustrate frontline staff and then work with them to overcome them. And they take the insoluble problems to more senior leaders and mandate them to help find lasting solutions that enable staff to deliver the care they wish to. Such approaches are essential if the healthcare professionals able to meet the challenges of the sector and deliver the care the public wants and

In a wider literature review by Scott et al, inadequate or inappropriate leadership is highlighted as a key factor which may impede cultural change within healthcare organizations [17]. It is public belief that changing the culture of health organizations is a fundamental prerequisite for every quality improvement program such as clinical governance [18]. The first main pillar which is presented for Iran quality improvement model is "quality based management".

Healthcare organizations’ goals includes provide quality, value priced, safe health care services and ultimately, improve health outcomes.

They are able to connect, communicate and coordinate across multiple departments, professional opinions and voices, and the daily schedules of patients. Advocating and designing care with the patient and family is a true skills set and cultural attribute that adds tremendously to a culture of safety and patient – centeredness but requires the most able leadership to build these bridges across the many professionals engaged in care. Building this culture is a leadership challenge and there is no one in my experience better able to make these changes than nursing leaders ( Maureen Bisognano, 2009). Nurses should not just be at the bedside or within the nursing community but must be involved as leaders and decision – makers throughout the healthcare system. As Maureen Bisognano (2009) points out, the best nurses are accomplished envoys among different players and interests involved in direct patient care, which is a skill needed throughout organizations and businesses, not just in hospitals or
