Davis Week 4 Discussion

Week 4: Advocacy

When we think of advocacy, many nurses think about how they advocate for their patients and/or families. Or you may think of situations where you advocate for a colleague, direct report, or team. Those are all legitimate aspects of advocacy and important for nurses. You’ve probably heard an instructor or mentor say that in aspiring to executive-level leadership, a transition occurs in your outlook. Your view expands exponentially as you become responsible for many teams and sometimes an entire organization. For this week’s discussion about advocacy, think about a policy, cause, or large-scale issue for which you are, or can become, an advocate or champion. As you look at successful nurse leaders and executives, you’ll very likely find that they are involved in some cause such as breast cancer research, childhood obesity, the HIV/AIDS epidemicic in Africa, or the heroin epidemic, and so on. In your growth toward senior levels of leadership, begin to think about where and how you will be involved as an advocate or champion.

Include a budget for material, staffing, and capital costs over the first five years of the initiative, as well as projected earnings. In addition, include a timeline, an organizational impact analysis, and an explanation of the effects of environmental changes on the initiative.

Introduction

Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

As a master’s-level health care practitioner, you may be expected to create budgets and implementation plans to ensure that initiatives to take advantage of economic opportunities for the organization are rolled out successfully and can be sustained over multiple years. Additionally, it is important to be able to envision how an initiative could be implemented in different contexts and for different purposes to ensure that the investment remains a viable and positive asset to your organization or care setting.

Instructions

Develop a thorough implementation plan for the economic initiative you proposed in Assessment 1. Your plan must include a budget for material, staffing, and capital costs over the first five years of the initiative, as well as projected earnings. In addition, include:

    • A plan and timeline for rolling out the initiative.
    • An analysis of how the initiative may impact other aspects of the organization or care setting.
    • An explanation how the initiative can remain viable in the face of environmental changes.
    • Sufficient relevant and credible supporting evidence.

Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft implementation plan to Smarthinking for feedback before you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.

The requirements for your implementation plan, outlined below, correspond to the scoring guide criteria, so be sure to address each main point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, be sure to note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence.

    • Create a budget for expected costs and earnings over the first five years of your proposed initiative.
      • What are the expected material, staffing, and capital costs of your proposed initiative over its first five years?
      • What are the projected earnings for your organization or care setting over the first five years of your economic initiative?
      • How does this budget take into account the findings and feedback you received on your business case?

      • What other aspects of your organization or care setting may be positively or negatively impacted by the implementation of your proposed initiative?
      • How will these other aspects of your organization or care setting be affected? (For example, increased workload on a testing department, borrowing of staff hours from another part of the care setting, or better communication with the community.)
      • How could you mitigate at least some of the negative effects on other aspects of your organization or care setting?
    • Explain your strategies for ensuring that your proposed initiative can remain a viable asset to the organization or care setting in the face of dynamic environmental forces.

      • How could your initiative, or aspects of it, still be a viable benefit to your organization or care setting if the environment shifts in unpredictable ways?
      • What strategies would you propose implementing to keep all, or a portion of, your initiative a viable net benefit to your organization or care setting?
    • Justify the relevance and significance of the quantitative and qualitative economic, financial, and scholarly evidence you used throughout your plan to support your recommendations.
      • How is the evidence relevant to your organization or care setting?
      • How is the evidence relevant to your proposed economic initiative?
      • How does the evidence illustrate a solution that has been successful in the past?
      • How does the evidence illustrate that a recommendation is the best course of action for your situation and organization or care setting?
    • Write concisely and directly, using active voice.
