Search for recent, relevant data or the scope of the problem. Determine the impact (financial, health, etc.) of the problem at all levels – individual, facility, micro, and macro system.

Assignment: Watch the 3 videos about implementing an evidence-based practice. Then find a current research article (<5 years) that discusses a new way of doing something that you do in your workplace. You are the unit manager. The parts of your paper should include:
An overview of the procedure or policy you want to change, and why it should be changed. Support your ideas with the article you found.
An explanation about the ideas that are in the 3 videos about how to implement change, and which of those ideas you would use.
An explanation of how you would implement and monitor this change. Would you have meetings? Informational sessions? Use coaches? Use selected staff to pilot the change? Implement gradually or all at once? This is not so much about the new procedure itself as it is about how you would introduce it. Support this with professional references about change.
A timeline for implementation of this change
An explanation of how you would evaluate the change process. Again, this isn’t about the procedure or policy itself, it’s about how you would evaluate how smoothly the change went.
Using your example of conflict in your professional practice (from Week 4 Discussion 1: Conflict in the Workplace), build on the readings, videos, and peer input you received.
Critically analyze the situation and create a plan that would have helped to resolve the conflict and promote collaboration among the group.
Your plan should include a minimum of five scholarly references not counting assigned texts, and be seven to eight pages long (page count does not include the cover page or references list). Review your conflict scenario and include the following:
Comprehension: Review the details of the conflict scenario, identifying the type and effects of the conflict.
Application: Relate course content on delegation, empowerment, group dynamics, and constructive group roles and behaviors to the identified conflict scenario.
Analysis/Synthesis: Clarify understanding of the internal and external variables contributing to the conflict. Create a plan that would have helped to resolve the conflict and promote a high-functioning healthcare team.
Evaluation: Summarize the value of effective conflict-resolution skills for the nurse leader.
For this assignment 3 sources are required. you can use Diane L. Huber 6th edition chapter 7 and 8 on communication Leadership and Team building and working with effective groups as one of the sources to make it 4 sources.
Provide an example of an effective group or team at your place of work. This is not generally employed staff working together performing expected duties, but a specifically designated group/team/committee with a set agenda and focus. Examples might be a Patient Education Committee, Policy and Procedure Committee, Falls Committee, Accreditation Workgroup, etc.
Identify the membership, mission, and goals of the group.
How does nursing leadership promote effective communication and interpersonal collaboration within this group?
Avoid using ANY identifiers in all assignments. This includes, and is not limited to, those covered by HIPAA, coworker/colleague identifiers, employment identifiers etc.

Based on your reading in chapter 60, why do you think the issues presented in this chapter persist in today’s workforce culture?
Post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources.
You are the unit director of the emergency department and part of an ad hoc interdisciplinary committee newly formed to address a 30% rise in arrival-to- provider time over the past six months. Six months ago, the ED consistently recorded an arrival-to-provider time less than the national benchmark of twenty minutes. The arrival-to-provider time is presently over one hour. A root cause analysis study finds that arrivals to the ER have increased by 50% and the lobby is usually filled to capacity. Often patients must stand due to lack of adequate seating. FTEs have not been added and staffing is consistently short due to call-offs. Patients are not being discharged from inpatient beds in a timely manner. The task for the committee is to propose a solution for the problem.
Looking at this through the lens of an evidence-based quality improvement process, what would you propose as the PICOT for this initiative? Who are the stakeholders represented in your group? (Remember, this is an internal organizational issue, and while patients are impacted by the issue and are the beneficiaries of the work done, they would not be included in this type of task force)
(for your review, see the example for developing a PICOT below or refer to the Nurse Executive Track CGE Academy webinar located in resources and announcements)
Discuss how the perspectives for the PICOT differ depending on the discipline represented by each stakeholder? What impact will they have on the group process and in team building? How is the group process and team building effected by the organization’s culture and climate of transparency and safety? How will the outcomes of the committee be impacted?
Write a paper on your selected pathophysiology topic.
The objective is for you to further exploring and discuss the disease process, clinical manifestations, nursing actions, and treatment for the disease selected. Identify why this disease process was of interest to you.
For this assessment, imagine you are a member of a Quality Improvement Council at any type of health care system, whether acute, ambulatory, home health, managed care, et cetera. Your Council has identified that newly hired nurses would benefit from comprehensive training on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. The Council would like the training to address how this information is collected and disseminated across the organization. It would also like the training to describe the role nurses have in accurate reporting and high-quality results.
The Council indicates a recording is preferable to a written fact sheet due to the popularity of audio blogs. In this way, new hires can listen to the tutorial on their own time using their phone or other device.
As a result of this need, you offer to create an tutorial orienting new hires to these topics.
You determine that you will cover the following topics:
Introduction: Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicator
Be sure to address the impact of this indicator on the quality of care and patient safety.
Why do new nurses need to be familiar with this particular quality indicator when providing patient care?
Collection and Distribution of Quality Indicator Data
As an example, consider the importance of accurately entering data regarding nursing interventions.
The focus of Assessment 4 is on how informatics support monitoring of nursing-sensitive quality indicator data. You will develop an training module to orient new nurses in a workplace to a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator critical to the organization. You will address how data are collected and disseminated across the organization along with the nurses’ role in supporting accurate reporting and high quality results.
Select a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator that you see as important to a selected type of health care system. Choose from the following list:
