Assessment Description Part 2
Steps Involved in Initiating and Designing a Project
Developing the charter made it possible to understand how nursing improvement is critical in the current environment during the process of creating the charter. Formulating a project for a health care setting requires that certain critical steps need to be followed. The initiation phase requires the nurse manager to identify the “what is “where the Gaps are missing. Using a workflow diagram can help identify the Gap in the project . This part also include the future state of the project which is where the proposed change will occur in the workflow diagram. Objectives and goals are also included in the stage. Risk, benefits and cost are also put into consideration in this stage. Similar to the nursing process, the second stage is the planning stage which is the stage of discussing about strategies, budgeting , data collection, setting up deadline, as well as assigning responsibilities to all those involved. This is summarize in the project Charter which defines how the project can process, assigning responsibilities. “It begins the process of defining the roles and responsibilities of those participants and outlines the objectives and goals of the project. The charter also identifies the main stakeholders and defines the authority of the project manager” The scope document is a formal documents that follows which set boundaries on what can and cannot be done . It also assigns responsibility of who does what. The fourth step is the execution stage where the manager shows leadership skills. The manager at this stage makes sure that everything is done on a timely manner as defined. The monitoring stage follows where there is evaluation to see which part of the project is working and which part needs improvement. Proper documentation is necessary to provide a summary of the deliveries , outcome and necessary need for change if current plan is not working . In the case study, there was an initial research process to determine how the nurse's background knowledge was suitable for the topic. After gaining a proper understanding, a follow-up process involved determining project components to understand the connection to the entire project component. This technique validates adequate planning by the nurse. It was then possible to integrate new nursing ideas in the areas of care improvement, technology, and proper financial management since all these results are in correlation with existent healthcare needs. The design process integrated careful time allocation depending on the scheduled task
Influence of Authority Gradients on Team Selection and Formulation
Describe the influence of authority gradients on team selection and formulation. Helps to make sure that team members are assigned to various task base on their level of expertise . What is unique about this relative to health care quality and safety? Authority gradients have a lot of influence on team selection since they determine the need to adjust different processes in terms of finding a person highly conversant with the project deliverable. The formulation process was based primarily on expertise and interest in engaging in the project since these two components strongly connect to project success. It then becomes highly imperative to integrate a budget management technique in collaboration with a finance expert since this is a productive method of serving all stakeholders. Managing overlap can get eliminated once each stakeholder understands their crucial role and delivers all expected outcomes.
How Authority Gradients Influence Teamwork and Patient Safety
Authority gradients have an impact on team operations in both positive and negative ways. When team members get managed by an authoritative figure who is invested in collaboration efforts, the entire healthcare center shall ensure patient safety. All nurses, physicians, therapists, or managers shall work together to enhance quality health outcomes. In the perspective of adverse outcomes, too many authoritative gradients can affect teamwork since the person will generate confusion as each one tries to produce the best, thus leading to inefficient outcomes for different activities. Patient safety is the central goal of all healthcare environments and therefore needs adjustment to accommodate unique ideas.
Two Strategies for Identifying & Managing Overlap in Team Member Roles & Accountabilities
Performance assessment tests and observations are strategies suitable to analyze teams since it shapes the possibility of determining cases of overlap. As each team member would have already been assigned a task, there can be suitable improvements in terms of deciding competency metrics. In the proposed, observations are productive techniques applicable in handling engagement sessions and finding out the needs for improvement of productivity. During assessments, cases of overlap will be possible in terms of finding out the healthcare departments which need adjustment. Role clarification is one of the strategies of managing overlap in Team member role. It alerts the team member to be conscious of their responsibility and will be held accountable when there is conflict in role construction and boundaries .Secondly interprofessional education which is a strategy to help team members collaborate with each other effectively as professionals. Limiting conflicts and waste of resources.
Describe one benefit and one challenge for each researched strategy
The challenge of performance assessment tests includes patient factors, resource allocation, and dependence on existing medical technology. Issues are common among patients when they do not fully recover even after getting provided with advanced care. This part of the project shall then get a limitation that is unsolicited. Another challenge is resource allocation, whereby some appropriate equipment might be too expensive. In terms of medical technology, issues occur when required equipment is too costly. The challenge of observation is inaccurate data. Regardless, all strategies are beneficial since the team members have the primary goal of offering treatments.
