Narratives are also shaped by organisational and institutional conditions. The social conditions in health care are composed of networks of public and private organisations, bound by contracts, within competitive, market-style relations.80,103 In this context, managerial work may be less a technical exercise in the application of rules and procedures and more about managing relationships. Whether or not this promotes more of an emphasis on hard business skills or soft social skills (or some combination), it does suggest a greater intrusion of identity regulation into hitherto unchartered internal depths.104,105 In other words, are managers more liberated by marketisation or do they find their identities more tightly regulated and constrained? …show more content…

All had heavy workloads and were under pressure to see more patients and reduce waiting lists.
Work satisfaction was primarily derived from their clinical work, but also from fostering a happy team and from teaching.
What is the purpose of this study?
The aim of this project is to improve our understanding of how healthcare managers handle the demands and challenges, the motivations and rewards, of a changing service. We know very little about the work experience and attitudes of healthcare managers, but when things go wrong, this group often takes the blame.

According to Garson (2000), the primary issues of healthcare, which were improving access, lowering costs, and improving the quality of care, would accelerate through 2010. Later in 2008, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) along with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation researched the need of radically changing the nursing profession to confront the issues of healthcare (National Academy of Sciences, n.d.). Through these issues the IOM has devised a report suggesting the transformation of nursing practice, education, and leadership. By transforming the nursing profession, the IOM will give way for positive changes in the healthcare system.

I enjoyed reading your post. You mention in your post that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has driven up health care costs; however, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services reports the opposite. The ACA has been very instrumental in slowing down health care costs (ASPA, 2015). Since the ACA, health care cost growth rates are historically slowing down (ASPA, 2015). In fact, since the ACA, health care is experiencing the lowest rate of health care price increase in 50 years.

On the other hand, ‘Transactional’ leaders are focused on tasks, makes decisions quickly and goal oriented however, they do not identify with shared values of the team (O’Connor and Carlson,2016). Another characteristic of Transformational leaders is, they are, motivational, empowering and inspirational to others to identify and pursue a long-term vision in relation to organisational goals and individual personal development plans (Brewer et al,2016).

Prior to coming into today’s experience, I expected that I would come in contact with patients during the day, but I actually did not actually assess or speak to one patient in the clinic. While I hoped for more interaction, during the three-hour period, one cannot predict the workload for a Care Coordinator.
