This 2000 word written assignment has two distinct parts that you should address separately. Please use headings for each part.

You do not need to provide an introduction or a conclusion for the written assignment or any of the parts.

There are two family scenarios for you to choose from; select ONE scenario and use this for your entire assignment.

Part 1 – Nursing Care of the Family: Assessment (500 words)

 Create a genogram to visually depict the family’s structure. You must use the PowerPoint slide which will be supplied to you within the Assessment Folder on Learning@Griffith course site to create your genogram. Save the slide as a picture file (*.jpeg), and insert the picture into your document.

  •   Below the genogram, summarise the structure of the family to demonstrate your understanding of the family assessment findings.
  •   Use the Australian Family Strengths Nursing Assessment Guide (AFSNAG) to identify and briefly describe two (2) strengths of the family you are assessing.Part 2 – Nursing Care of the Family: Planning, Implementing and Evaluating (1,500 words)
    •   Select two (2) issues/challenges for the family or a member of the family you have selected. These issues may be identified by the nurse, family or both. These can be health, social, or developmental family issues/challenges e.g., breastfeeding, social isolation, transition to parenting; they should not be ‘medical’ issues e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure.
    •   For each issue/challenge identified in the family assessment (allow approximately 750 words per issue):
     a) Describetheissueb) Plannursingcarec) Implement nursing cared) Evaluate nursing careo Use appropriate evidence from scholarly literature to describe the issue and discuss what is known about the issue/challenge.o Provide a relevant nursing goal and justify the goal (explain why it is relevant to the issue) using appropriate evidence or policies.o Outline one nursing intervention that supports the family to achieve the goal.

Based upon your first selected hospital's comparative scores, what do you think is the most important area related to patient satisfaction/clinical outcomes to improve, and why? It may be helpful to consider what other steps you would take to get a clearer picture of this quality issue.

nursing leadership

Comparing, or benchmarking, outcomes is an important means by which health care providers strive to improve quality of care. Although this concept applies to all kinds of clinical care facilities, for this Discussion you focus on hospitals so that you can make use of data on the CMS’s “Hospital Compare” website to conduct some basic benchmarking analysis.Using this analysis as a launching point, you then evaluate priorities for improvement and consider how to create a motivating environment that supports significant, lasting change. 

To prepare:

  • Go to http://www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/search.html 
  • Enter search criteria and click “Find Hospitals.” Select a hospital on which to focus for this Discussion.
  • Review all of the data on this hospital, which should include the various Process of Care Measures and the Survey of Patients’ Hospital Experiences (HCAHPS scores).
  • Compare the data for your selected hospital with data from other institutions in the area and across the country, as you think appropriate. (To do this, repeat the steps described above, but this time include these other institutions in your comparison.)
  • Based upon your first selected hospital’s comparative scores, what do you think is the most important area related to patient satisfaction/clinical outcomes to improve, and why? It may be helpful to consider what other steps you would take to get a clearer picture of this quality issue.
  • Think about how you as a leader and manager would communicate change at the point of care (front line) to provide service that improves one or more patient satisfaction/clinical outcomes in your selected hospital.

By Day 3

Post a brief description of the hospital and your selected outcome, including indications of the needed improvement. Then, provide a short, persuasive statement demonstrating how you would communicate and motivate a nurse at the point of care (front line) to provide service that improves the selected outcome. Support your statement with evidence and strategies from the literature.

PICOT

In Part A, (attached) you described the population and quality initiative related to your PICOT (Population/Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time to achieve the outcome) statement. In this assignment, you will formalize your PICOT and research process.

Use the GCU Library to perform a search for peer-reviewed research articles. Find five peer-reviewed primary source translational research articles.

In a paper of 1,250-1,500 words, synthesize the research into a literature review. The literature review should provide an overview for the reader that illustrates the research related to your particular PICOT. Include the following:

  1. Introduction: Describe the clinical issue or problem you are addressing.
  2. Methods: Describe the criteria you used in choosing your articles
  3. Synthesize the Literature: Part A: Discuss the main components of each article (subjects, methods, key findings) and provide rationale for how this supports your PICOT; Part B: Compare and contrast the articles: Discuss limitations, controversies, and similarities/differences of the studies.
  4. Areas of Further Study: Analyze the evidence presented in your articles to identify what is known, unknown, and requires further study.

You are required to cite five to 10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

EXPLAIN HOW THIS POLICY OR GUIDELINE MAY BE A CONSTRAINT TO A HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION’S PLANNING

Policy and Planning Constraints

Locate an example of a policy or guideline from an external source to a healthcare organization. Explain how this policy or guideline may be a constraint to a healthcare organization’s planning, or how it may shape the healthcare organization’s philosophy. For example, given that the American Academy of Pediatrics offers guidelines on child vaccinations, these guidelines might impact the ability of the healthcare organization to deliver services to newborns and infants. Using a similar example, as well as the characteristics of effective plans as your framework, discuss how proper planning can help organizations in their future decision making.

Q2

Complete the following portions of your strategic plan:

  • Describe the health care organization’s service strategy. Include strategies to create a healing environment within your organization that affects patients, visitors, and employees.

Be sure to address the following:

  • How does your service strategy develop a culture of customer service?
  • How does your service strategy create an environment for employees?
  • Identify how your service strategy is linked to the organizational vision and mission.

What do you think is a safe Nursing/patient ratio?

SAFE NURSING AND PATIENT RATIOSWHAT DO YOU THINK IS A SAFE NURSING/PATIENT RATIO? …
 NO COMMENTS
What do you think is a safe Nursing/patient ratio?  Does this depend on what specialty or location you are in?  Should it?  California has worked hard to get established nurse/patient ratios assigned by law and in 2008 telemetry and other specialties are to have a 1:4 nursing:patient ratio.  Should other states work hard at adapting similar laws and guidelines?   What about long-term care and nursing homes?
