Nursing homework help

I am struggling in trying to read your work on this directional strategies report for Parkland’s Health and Hospital System.  Many of the comments made within the paper seem to have been taken from literature sources; I am not sure how they would apply to this particular organization. For example, you discussed that doctors are not rewarded for their commitment or work and that non-medical staff are also not appreciated (p 4). Yet the reference for this is to an article on beta-blockers in patients with cirrhosis.

An introduction to the organization is needed at the start of each assessment. Describe the type of organization that this is, the number of patients served, number of employees, facts about the community, etc.

I again would urge you to work with the class tutor, the Writing Center, and your Coach.

Kind regards,

Dr. Charlene

COMPETENCY: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for professionals in health care administration.

CRITERION: Write in a clear, concise, and well-organized manner, supporting conclusions with relevant evidence.

Basic

Writes in a clear, concise, and well-organized manner or supports conclusions with relevant evidence, but not both.

Faculty Comments:“Please consider working with the Writing Center. Many of your paragraphs start with words such as “admittedly,” “notably,” and “in this regard.” A different style of writing would be helpful. Many long sentences make little sense to me. The first paragraph has this sentence: “Admittedly, the organization is currently experiencing low output rates despite its high and extensive capacity.” What does this mean? What is an output? Are there fewer patients using the facility? On the bottom of page 2 is the statement: “In this regard, the hospital is committed to identifying the health constraints facing the community and develop counter response alternatives which will not only solve the arising problem but also prevent the chances of such calamity to occur in the future.” What does this mean? Perhaps writing in shorter, more direct sentences would be helpful.”

CRITERION: Follow current APA guidelines for format and style.

Faculty Comments:“Current guidelines for format and style have been followed. ”

COMPETENCY: Recommend an organizational structure and design to optimize a strategic plan.

CRITERION: Propose changes to vision, mission, and values statements that align organizational structure and strategies.

Non-Performance

Does not propose changes to vision, mission, and values statements that align organizational structure and strategies.

Faculty Comments:“The changes that you have proposed are entirely from literature resources. How this would apply to the organization itself is not included in this paper. You have noted that the “HR team should advocate for the use of Leissez Faire organizational structure instead of using an aristocratic mode of governance.” I really do not believe this would be a model recommended in today’s health care organizations that is ruled somewhat by various regulations that are required by law and legislation.”

CRITERION: Examine organizational ethics as expressed in mission, vision, and value statements, and its relationship to health care strategy.

Basic

Examines organizational ethics as expressed in mission, vision, and value statements, and its relationship to health care strategy.

Faculty Comments:“You have discussed mission and vision statements. I am not sure how they would relate directly to a health care strategy. List the specific health care strategies that you would recommend for this organization. These strategies should be based on all of your analyses.”

COMPETENCY: Analyze organizational structure, design, culture, and climate in relation to environmental forces.

CRITERION: Analyze the gap between the desired outcome and the actual state of the current environment.

Non-Performance

Does not analyze the gap between the desired outcome and the actual state of the current environment.

Faculty Comments:“A gap analysis has not been completed. Under this heading, you had discussed that doctors and staff felt under appreciated. However, the citation is to a medical journal and not something related directly to the organization itself. For example in a gap analysis, you would look at the topic of nursing shortage and determine how great this is. Where is the organization now? And then, where do they want to be?”

CRITERION: Analyze an organization’s mission, vision, and values statements in terms of directional strategies.

Non-Performance

Does not analyze an organization’s mission, vision, and values statements in terms of directional strategies.

Faculty Comments:“There is general discussion that the mission of the organization “is a dedication to the health and well-being of people and communities.” To this you had added that “the hospital feels obligated and accountable to all patients visiting the facility.” How do you know this? You have then provided that “the practitioners then dedicate themselves to providing high-quality services…” Can you provide examples of this? The actual mission, vision, and value statements of the organization should be stated.”
