Written Assignment:

Nurse Olivia Witte is in charge of an interdisciplinary team at Sunrise Hospital. The nurses at Sunrise have identified a need to develop a critical pathway for ventilator-dependent patients who are about to be discharged to home with home health care. Nurse Witte knows that these patients have multiple complex care needs. It is urgent that information flow be specific and detailed to make “seamless” the care transfer between the hospital and home care, wherever this may be. First, Nurse Witte had to manage a few physicians who flatly stated that they would not follow a “cookbook” concocted by nurses. Then the dietary representative presented the team with dietary’s protocols and suggested that nurses integrate these because nurses were in charge of the pathway maintenance. Next, Nurse Witte discovered why the local home health care representative was not returning phone calls and could not come to team meetings for quite a while: the group was planning a move in 1 month and was just notified of that The Joint Commission (TJC) would be visiting in 3 months.

Highlighted by a series of reports from the prestigious Institute of Medicine (IOM), most recently The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, it is clear that nurses matter to health care delivery systems. Yet the United States is in the midst of a continuing and projected nurse shortage. Strong nurse leaders and administrators are important for clients (and their safety), for delivery systems (and their viability), and for payers (and their solvency). Nursing Leadership Discussion Questions
Some have called this the Age of the Nurse, but pressures remain to balance cost and quality considerations in a complex, chaotic, and turbulent health care environment. Although society’s need for excellent nursing care remains the nurse’s constant underlying reason for existence, nursing is in reality much more than that. It is the Age of the Nurse precisely because nurses offer cost-effective expertise in solving problems related to the coordination and delivery of health care to individuals and populations in society. Nurses are well prepared to lead clinical change strategies and to effectively manage the coordination and integration of interdisciplinary teams, population needs, and systems of care across the continuum. This is especially important as implementation of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act rolls forward and nurses are needed to address care coordination and integration. It can be argued that nursing is a unique profession in which the primary focus is caring—giving and managing the care that clients need. Thus nurses are both health care providers and health care coordinators; that is, they have both clinical and managerial role components. Beginning with the first edition of Leadership & Nursing Care Management, it has been this text’s philosophy that these two components can be discussed separately but in fact overlap. Because all nurses are involved in coordinating client care, leadership and management principles are a part of the core competencies they need to function in a complex health care environment. viii The turbulent swirl of change in this country’s health care industry has become a paradigm shift that has provided both challenges and opportunities for nursing. Nurses have needed a stronger background in nursing leadership and client care management to be prepared for contemporary and future nursing practice. Nursing Leadership Discussion Questions
As nurses mature in advanced practice roles and as the health care delivery system restructures, nurses will become increasingly pivotal to cost-effective health care delivery. Leadership and management are crucial skills and abilities for complex and integrated community and regional networks that employ and deploy nurses to provide health care services to clients and communities. Today nurses are expected to be able to lead and manage care across the health care continuum—a radically different approach to nursing than has been the norm for hospital staff nursing practice. In all settings, including both nurse-run and interdisciplinary clinics, nursing leadership and management are complementary skills that add value to solid clinical care and client-oriented practice. Thus there is an urgent need to advance nurses’ knowledge and skills in leadership and management. In addition, nurses who are expected to make and implement day-to-day management decisions need to know how these precepts can be practically applied to the organization and delivery of nursing care in a way that conserves scarce resources, reduces costs, and maintains or improves quality of care. The primary modality for health care in the United States has moved away from acute care hospitalization. As prevention, wellness, and alternative sites for care delivery become more important, nursing’s already rich experiential tradition of practice in these settings is emerging. This text reflects this contemporary trend by blending the hospital and nonhospital perspectives when examining and analyzing nursing care, leadership, and management. The reader will notice examples from the wide spectrum of nursing practice settings in the specific applications of nursing leadership and care management principles. PREFACE PURPOSE AND AUDIENCE The intent of this text is to provide both a broad introduction to the field and a synthesis of the knowledge base and skills related to both nursing leadership and nursing management. It is an evidence-based blend of practice and theory. It breaks new ground by explaining the intersection of nursing care with leading people and managing organizations and systems. It highlights the evidence base for care management. It combines traditional management perspectives and theory with contemporary health care trends and issues and consistently integrates leadership a nd management concepts. These concepts are illustrated and made relevant by practice-based examples. Nursing Leadership Discussion Questions
The impetus for writing this text comes from teaching both undergraduate and graduate students in nursing leadership and management and from perceiving the need for a comprehensive, practice-based textbook that blends and integrates leadership and management into an understandable and applicable whole. Therefore the main goal of Leadership and Nursing Care Management is twofold: (1) to clearly differentiate traditional leadership and management perspectives, and (2) to relate them in an integrated way with contemporary nursing trends and practice applications. This textbook is designed to serve the needs of nurses and nursing students who seek a foundation in the principles of coordinating nursing services. It will serve the need for these principles in relation to client care, peers, superiors, and subordinates. ORGANIZATION AND COVERAGE This fifth edition continues the format first used with the third edition. The first two editions were Dr. Huber’s single-authored texts. The edited book ­approach draws together the best thinking of experts in the field—both nurses and non-nurses—to enrich and deepen the presentation of core essential knowledge and skills. Beginning with the first edition, a hallmark of Leadership and Nursing Care Management has been its depth of coverage, its comprehensiveness, and its strong evidence-based foundation. This fifth edition continues the emphasis on explaining theory in an easily understandable way to enhance comprehension. The content of this fifth edition has been reorganized and refreshed to integrate leadership and care ix management topics with the nurse executive l­eadership competencies of the 2005 American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) while trimming down the content through refocusing and synthesis. As the professional organization that speaks for nurse leaders, managers, and executives, AONE has identified the evidence-based core competencies in the field, and the content of this book has been aligned accordingly to reflect the knowledge underlying quality management of nursing services. This will help the reader develop the crucial skills and knowledge needed for core competencies. The organizational framework of this book groups the 27 chapters into the following five parts:
Part I: Leadership aligns with the AONE competency category of the same name and provides an orientation to the basic principles of both leadership and management. Part I contains chapters on Leadership and Management Principles, Change and Innovation, and Organizational Climate and Culture. Part II: Professionalism aligns with the AONE competency category of the same name and addresses the nurse’s role and career development. The reader is prompted to examine the role of the nurse leader and manager. Part II discusses the content areas of Critical Thinking and Decision-Making Skills, Managing Time and Stress, and Legal and Ethical Issues. Part III: Communication and Relationship Building aligns with the AONE competency category of the same name. Part III focuses on Communication Leadership, Team Building and Working with Effective Groups, Delegation, Power and Conflict, and Workplace Diversity. These are essential knowledge and skills areas for nurse leaders and managers as they work with and through others in care delivery. Part IV: Knowledge of the Health Care Environment covers the AONE competency category of the same name and features a broad array of chapters. Part IV encompasses Case and Population Health Management, Organizational Structure, Decentralization and Shared Governance, Pro­ fessional Practice Models, Evidence-Based Practice: Strategies for Nursing Leaders, Quality and Safety, and Measuring and Managing Outcomes. This ­ discussion highlights the importance of understanding the health care system and the x PREFACE ­rganizational structures within which nursing o care delivery must operate. This section includes information on traditional organizational theory, professional practice models, and the dynamics of decentralized and shared governance. Part V: Business Skills aligns with the AONE competency category on business skills and principles and contains an extensive grouping of chapters related to Strategic Management; Nursing Shortage; Recruitment and Retention; Staffing and Scheduling; Budgeting, Productivity, and Costing Out Nursing; Performance Appraisal; Prevention of Workplace Violence; All-Hazards Disaster Preparedness; Data Management and Informatics; and Marketing.
These chapters discuss the opportunities and challenges for the nurse leader-­manager when dealing with the health care workforce. The wide range of human resource responsibilities of nurse managers is reviewed, and resources for further study are provided. The significant share of scarce organization budgets consumed by the human resources of an institution makes this area of management a key challenge that requires intricate skills in leadership and management. This section examines some of the important factors that nurse leader-managers must consider in the nursing and health care environment. Also in this section are chapters that build on organizational theory and demonstrate the importance …Nursing Leadership Discussion Questions
