The availability of appropriate course materials in various formats is indeed the centerpiece of any distance education provision worldwide. Management Principle in Nursing/Health Care Organization NSG411 was produced by the University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre.
Definition of Management
To conclude, we will mention the functions of a manager and list the qualities of a leader.
Differences between Leadership and Management
Concepts of Management And Leadership
The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon. Which category of people are more concerned with maintaining the status quo and taking few risks.
Review of Functions/Roles/Elements of Management
The current state of health care delivery in the United States clearly requires innovation and the development of original solutions that challenge the status quo. Managers are often more concerned with maintaining the status quo and take few risks because they are more concerned with short-term goals and need to deliver results.
Qualities of An Effective Leader
In this study session, we defined management as a social discipline concerned with the behavior of people and human institutions. In this study session we will examine the various theories of management and their applications.
Classical Management Theory
Ensure the prosperity of the company through proper work and salary increases. Authority means the acceptance of rules by those over whom it is to be exercised within limits agreed upon by both parties.
Human Relations Theories
Rigid behavior from senior managers can lead to standardized services that do not meet customer needs. The pioneering Hawthorne studies conducted at the Hawthorne factory of the Western Electric Company (USA) from 1927 to 1932.
Neo-Human Relations Theory
Maslow made assumptions that people must satisfy each level of need, before raising their needs to the next higher level e.g. That is, people must satisfy each level of need before raising their needs to the next higher level.
System Theories
It was Trist and others at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations who focused on socio-technical systems arising from their study of the effects of changing technology in the coal mining industries in the 1940s. 1960 cybernetics (W. Ross Ashby, Norbert Wiener) Mathematical theory of the communication and control of systems through regulatory feedback.
Contingency Theories
Defining Planning
Koontz and Weihrich defined planning as the selection of missions and objectives and the actions to achieve them; it requires decision-making, i.e., choosing future courses of action from alternatives. Planning is a systematic process that includes the selection of missions, objectives and actions to achieve them.
Purpose of Planning
Planning, a fundamental function of management, is a primary task of all managers within the nursing division. Considering the past helps to eliminate past mistakes and future to reduce the effect of change.
Characteristics of Planning
Types of Planning
Phases/Steps Involved In Planning
Goals help nurse administrators and other members of the healthcare team focus attention on what is relevant and important and to develop strategies and actions to achieve the goals. This involves open communication with staff in relation to the priorities for the next year and subsequent periods, formulating revised policies and procedures in relation to changes and formulating area and individual goals related to the plans.
Classification of Planning
Elements of Planning
Influencing Planning
This includes, but is not limited to, development of short and long term goals, formulation of annual departmental goals, resource allocation and preparation of the budget.
Problems Facing Effective Planning
Policies and Procedures
Policy is described as a principle or rule to guide decisions and achieve rational results, while Procedures describe the individual steps taken which may or may not be part of the policy in question. This is essential because team members must be aware of and must direct all efforts to achieve the points of the policy statement.
Decision Making
In this step of the decision-making process, you will list all possible and desirable alternatives. Some contingent decisions are unstated or even exist below the decision maker's awareness.
Concept of Power in Organization
Again, we have listed the three main types of organizational planning as well as the various phases involved. In this study session we will consider types of healthcare organization and explore through organizational culture and structure.
Types of Health-Care Organizations
Government-run service organizations range from county public health departments to complex medical centers, such as those operated by the Veterans Administration, a federal agency. These include large hospital and nursing home chains, health maintenance organizations, and many independent centers that offer specialty services, such as surgical and diagnostic centers.
Organizational Culture
The shared values, attitudes and behaviors aimed at preventing or minimizing harm to patients are called safety culture. The shared values, attitudes and behaviors aimed at preventing or minimizing harm to patients are called safety culture.
Organisational Structure
How the operation of healthcare organizations affects patient safety has been the subject of much debate. For example, nurses, doctors, therapists, dietitians, and social workers all provide part of the health care that an individual needs.
Organizational Change
When a fact doesn't fit people's conceptual "frames"—the metaphors used to make sense of the world—people reject the fact. We will highlight staffing functions as well as staffing objectives and steps.
Staffing and Scheduling
Functions in Staffing
Some of the functions performed in staffing include determining the categories of personnel who have the knowledge and skills to carry out the necessary service actions (i.e. the qualifications that each candidate possesses).
Steps and Objectives of Staffing
There is a critical need to retire or seriously question the utility of the nursing hours per patient day (HPPD) concept. The specific needs of different patient populations should determine the appropriate clinical competencies required of the nurse working in this area.
Performance Evaluation
Performance appraisal is an analysis of an employee's recent successes and failures, personal strengths and weaknesses, and suitability for promotion or further training. It is also the assessment of an employee's performance in a job based on considerations other than productivity alone.
Delegation of Responsibility
34;Make up your mind and let me know your decision and wait for my green light before proceeding.” An indirect authorization is “an approved list of activities or tasks that have been established in the policies and procedures of the health care facility or facility.”
Concept of Motivation
It is necessary to remember that the level of motivation varies both between individuals and within individuals at different times. The concept of motivation is situational and its level varies between different individuals and at different times.
Process of Motivation
The art of motivation starts with learning how to influence the individual's behavior.
Types of Motivation
They are the types of awards and prizes that push people to work a little harder. Competence motivation is the drive to be good at something, which allows the individual to produce high-quality work.
Forms of Motivation
Competency-motivated people seek job mastery, take pride in developing and using their problem-solving skills, and strive to be creative when faced with obstacles.
Strategies for Motivation
The job of managers is to “match” the human desire for self-development with the organization's need for maximum productive efficiency. The goals set should be such that they seem feasible to the employees to be achieved.
Defining Communication
- Organizational Communication
- Types of communication
- The Impact of Poor Communication
When it comes to communication, it is important to remember that communication is primarily an interactive process and that the message being sent is never more important than the people involved in the process. Believe in your value: It's easy to be assertive when you believe in the value you add to an organization.
Controlling
Personnel management involves the effective use of the skills of people, whether they are health workers, teachers, factory workers or salespeople. Control in management involves comparing actual performance with planned performance and taking corrective action when and where necessary to ensure that the goals of the organization are achieved.
Financial Management/Budgeting
Indirect Costs: These costs may not be directly related to a cost center but are for the benefit of the organization as a whole. The head nurse must be aware that the preparation of the budget is in no way a delegated duty.
The Role of the Rurse Manager in the Management of Nursing Unit
- Nurse Manager Role
These efforts highlight the complex role of the nurse manager and the importance of organizations developing strong leaders for middle management. The role of nurse manager is currently considered one of the most difficult and complex roles in healthcare.
Quality Improvement
- Using CQI to Monitor and Evaluate Quality of Care
- QI at the Organizational and Unit Levels
Guidelines first appeared in the 1980s as statements to help health care providers and patients make appropriate health care decisions. When deviations occur, the reasons are discussed with all members of the healthcare team and the appropriate changes in care are made.
Aspects of Health Care to Evaluate
Some of these outcomes, such as blood pressure or time between emergency room visits, are easier to measure than other equally important outcomes, such as increased satisfaction or changes in attitude. It is necessary to evaluate both the process and the outcome to determine why an intervention, such as teaching patients, succeeds or fails.
Risk Management
Therefore, in the assessment process, it is crucial to make the best educated guesses in order to correctly prioritize the implementation of the risk management plan. The inclusion of risk management standards in the 1990 JCAHO guidelines further emphasized the importance of risk management.
Meaning of Law
Sources of Law
If the bill does not receive the approval of the executive branch of the government, the president can veto it. These rules must be reasonable and consistent with existing legal law and the intention of the legislature.
Types of Laws
Negligence is the unintentional culpability of acting or failing to act as an ordinary, reasonable, prudent person, resulting in harm to the person to whom the duty of care is owed. The legal elements of negligence consist of duty, breach of duty, causation and damage or injury.
Other Laws Relevant to Nursing Practice
If this fails, document the need for restraints, consult with the physician, and carefully follow the institution's policies and standards of practice. Standards of practice are also used as criteria to determine whether appropriate care has been provided.
Use of Standards in Nursing Negligence
Planning is classified based on the criteria Time limit, the extensive nature of the project and the elements involved in the project. The role of the nurse manager is critical in the delivery of effective, high-quality care in any patient care environment.
