Authors Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston wanted to write Farwell to Manzanar not to reiterate the injustices that were placed upon the Japanese population, but to share what it was like from the Japanese people and what all went on within the fences of the internment camps.

By telling the personal story of the Wakatsuki family in Manzanar, an internment camp, it put a face to the people who were trapped within the boundaries of the camp. Twenty-five years after her release from Manzanar, Jeanne was now able to talk about her time in the camp

11). Towards the end of the clinical, I assumed more of a charismatic leadership style by having an infectious, positive presence and encouraging others (Huber & Joseph, 2022, p. 11). This seemed appropriate for the team members because on night shift, everyone was tired and bringing positive energy boosted morale. A transformational style may have worked better, but I didn’t quite have the confidence or knowledge to help others build accountability and skill sets. We realized a tech was charting that she was turning the patients, but she was not.

According to Garment (2013), “The American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) estimates that the U.S. will face a physician shortage of over 90,000 physicians by 2020; a figure that’s expected to reach over 130,000 by 2025” (p.4). The increasing amount of money required for health care services from a physician is a driving force to pursue alternative ways of receiving primary care. According to The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (2013), “NPs in a physician practice potentially decreased the cost of patient visits by as much as one third, particularly when seeing patients in an independent, rather than complementary, manner” (p. 2). NPs are maintaining the standard of care and for a lesser amount for patients to pay. Mid-level practitioners are completing the same amount of work and improving the quality of care.
Physicians and Hospitals go hand in hand when it comes to the medical care of patients, and it is this relationship that allows the patients to receive the care they need and deserve. It is also this relationship that we as health care administrators need to understand. In order to fully understand this relationship we need to define the concept of the integrated physician model. We also need to explain the importance of clinical integration in the strategic planning process, and the dynamics of and controversies surrounding accountable care organizations and alternative approaches to the current health system. I will also explain the advantages and disadvantages for hospitals and physician’s models.
Wong (2015) addresses that 50% of studies that have addressed patient outcomes found clinical leadership to be at fault for morbidity, mortality, and increased hospital stays versus the primary condition of the patient.

The results from these studies determined that transformational leadership contributes to a healthy work environment by boosting staff support, open and honest communication, and trust, which promotes positive team working relationships (Wong,
This essay is going to reflect on my own management and leadership style in delivering patient care. It will discuss the effectiveness of the other leadership and management style within the multi-disciplinary team and its impact on delivering patient care. I will use as an example, my previous experience back home as a nurse and compare it to my current experience in the United Kingdom (UK). This will show my strength and weakness as well as my new learning skills, which have changed my practice. I will be using Driscoll model of reflection (2007) to guide my thought and refine my ideas.
In the essay, “The Peter Principle”, Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull argue that no matter what the job or position is, there comes a time where every job gets filled by someone who isn’t competent enough to fulfill their role completely.

Healthcare organizations’ goals includes provide quality, value priced, safe health care services and ultimately, improve health outcomes. In addition to this primary goal, healthcare organizations also seek financial stability, community value, ethics and employee engagement. In this context, leaders are asked to efficiently use the available resources to optimize the managerial approaches to direct their teams towards more productive environment and positive interactions with patients. Healthcare setting-unlike business setting-is a more complicated system that consists of different professional teams and departments that usually don’t share the same objectives or planning strategies due to the diversity in the services provided.
