Critical Thinking Set 2

The following questions will allow the learner an opportunity to synthesize course readings and literature and critically reflect upon course concepts. Substantive responses should be provided for each question in a paragraph format. Each set of questions must be at least 250 words. Do not answer each individual questions. This is a synthesis of the questions not individual answers. Responses that include references to course materials or literature must follow APA formatting guidelines. A title page for question set submissions is not required. References may be listed immediately following the response to the question.

Question 1: Differentiating professions from employee work groups is an important consideration for leaders as they work to more clearly establish the relationship between the organization and the professional. Professionals are driven by accountability which incorporates in its framework the elements of autonomy, authority and competence. As you refine your understanding of the role of the professional consider and discuss the following key questions (remember this is will a single document not an answer to each individual question)

1. What do professionals need from each different employee work groups?
2. Name at least two leadership behaviors essential in leading professionals from different employee work groups.
3. Identify at least two structural changes in the organization necessary to adapt to the needs of professionals as differentiated from employee work groups.
4. Is it possible to be both employed and professional in the contemporary healthcare workplace?
5. What might have to change in order to make the organization more supportive of the life and action of a professional?

Question 2: If motivation primarily comes from within and is generated by individuals, different strategies for engaging staff must be utilized. The leader's personal charisma and personality characteristics are not sufficient to create the context for consistent and constant staff engagement. Aligning staff's personal motivation with organizational goals is critical to generating investment and ownership on the part of the staff. It is important for the leader to take time to delineate the sources of staff motivation in order to help staff align their personal
goals with the goals of the organization (remember this is will a single document not an answer to each individual question)

Discuss how some of that can occur as you respond to the following questions:
1. What techniques might the leader use to get a sense of individual staff member’s personal work motivation?
2. How might the leader determine what themes or consistency exists between individual motivator and the capacity to motivate the staff as a group?
3. What information must the leader delineate or make available to staff about the organization and organizational decisions as a first step in engaging with them in both responding to the organization and advancing both personal and organizational agendas?

2.2 Assignment: Plan your Script

Carefully read the purpose of the assignment, instructions, and criteria for success below before submitting your assignment.

We are in the planning stages again for our third speech. As you plan your speech, remember to SHOW, don’t just TELL your audience about the events. Use sensory language to put your audience at that exact moment with you, thinking about the smells, feelings, tastes, and sounds that surrounded you at the time. Include relevant details to powerfully make your point. Include organizational elements in your script, including an introduction, transitions, major points, and conclusion strategies that are covered in Module 3.

For this speech, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Your introduction will need to incorporate a big idea, and the conclusion will need to reference that idea again. You may choose to tell 1-3 smaller stories to explain your big idea, and those smaller stories would be considered your major points. On the other hand, you may wish to break down events in chronological order. Regardless of your approach, avoid hidden assumptions by exploring relevant background information that may be necessary for your audience’s understanding. Focus on your storytelling details in this speech as they help to show your audience the “big idea” you are explaining.

Report on your experiences during your first two practicum hours.

Introduction

Organizational data, such as readmission rates, hospital-acquired infections, falls, medication errors, staff satisfaction, serious safety events, and patient experience can be used to prioritize time, resources, and finances. Health care organizations and government agencies use benchmark data to compare the quality of organizational services and report the status of patient safety. Professional nurses are key to comprehensive data collection, reporting, and monitoring of metrics to improve quality and patient safety.
