Nurs 6053 / Nrse 6053 Week 2 Assignment Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
Nurs6053/Nrse6053 Interprofessional Organizational And Systems Leadership
The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and
improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed
successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare
leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often
provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention
delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant
positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing
the stress on the healthcare system.
Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the
healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to
improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not
seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population
needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that
care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not
surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted
issues that evolve over time.
In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected
one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail
the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that
addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s
leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.
To Prepare: NRSE 6053 Week 2 Assignment Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on
the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the
national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources
for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare
organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.
The Assignment (3-4 Pages): NRSE 6053 Week 2 Assignment Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing
your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your
work setting. Be sure to address the following:
Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your
organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary,
seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your
organization).
Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the
national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor
is being addressed in other organizations.
Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare
issues/stressors presented in the scholarly resources you selected. Explain how
they may impact your organization both positively and negatively. Be specific
and provide examples.
Looking Ahead
The paper you develop in Module 1 will be revisited and revised in Module 2. Review the

Week 3 Assignment
Developing Organizational Policies and Practices
Competing needs arise within any organization as employees seek to meet their targets and
leaders seek to meet company goals. As a leader, successful management of these
goals requires establishing priorities and allocating resources accordingly.
Within a healthcare setting, the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients are
often in conflict. Mandatory overtime, implementation of staffing ratios, use
of unlicensed assisting personnel, and employer reductions of education
benefits are examples of practices that might lead to conflicting needs in
practice.
Leaders can contribute to both the problem and the solution through policies, action, and
inaction. In this Assignment, you will further develop the white paper you
began work on in Module 1 by addressing competing needs within your
organization.
To Prepare: NRSE 6053 Week 2 Assignment Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
Review the national healthcare issue/stressor you examined in your Assignment for Module
1, and review the analysis of the healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify
and review two evidence-based scholarly resources that focus on proposed
policies/practices to apply to your selected healthcare issue/stressor.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post
regarding competing needs.
The Assignment (4-5 pages):
Developing Organizational Policies and Practices
Add a section to the paper you submitted in Module 1. The new section should address
the following:
Identify and describe at least two competing needs impacting your selected healthcare
issue/stressor.
Describe a relevant policy or practice in your organization that may influence your
selected healthcare issue/stressor.
Critique the policy for ethical considerations, and explain the policy’s strengths and
challenges in promoting ethics.
Recommend one or more policy or practice changes designed to balance the competing needs
of resources, workers, and patients, while addressing any ethical shortcomings
of the existing policies. Be specific and provide examples.
Cite evidence that informs the healthcare issue/stressor and/or the policies, and
provide two scholarly resources in support of your policy or practice
recommendations.

Week 6 Assignment
Personal
Leadership Philosophies
Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures,
pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The
leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has
been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with
leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having
a book written about their approaches.
What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of
commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and
practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that
acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on
leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an
overarching philosophy that steers their actions.
What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides
your own leadership.
To Prepare:
Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that
evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work
environments.
Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for
review.
Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results
relate to your leadership traits.
The Assignment (2-3 pages):
Nurs6053 / Nrse6053 Personal Leadership Philosophies
Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are
characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you
selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership
philosophy should include the following:

Week 9 Assignment
Assignment: NRSE 6053 Healthcare Analysis
Nurs6053 / Nrse6053 Workplace Environment Assessment
Clearly,
diagnosis is a critical aspect of healthcare. However, the ultimate purpose of
a diagnosis is the development and application of a series of treatments or
protocols. Isolated recognition of a health issue does little to resolve it.
In this
module’s Discussion, you applied the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory to
diagnose potential problems with the civility of your organization. In this
Portfolio Assignment, you will continue to analyze the results and apply
published research to the development of a proposed treatment for any issues
uncovered by the assessment.
To Prepare:
Review the
Resources and examine the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory, found on page 20
of Clark (2015).
Review the
Work Environment Assessment Template.

Nurs6053 / Nrse6053 Week 11 Assignment Change Implementation and Management Plan
It is one of the most cliché of clichés, but it nevertheless rings true: The only
constant is change. As a nursing professional, you are no doubt aware that
success in the healthcare field requires the ability to adapt to change, as the
pace of change in healthcare may be without rival.
As a professional, you will be called upon to share expertise, inform, educate, and
advocate. Your efforts in these areas can help lead others through change. In
this Assignment, you will propose a change within your organization and present
a comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and identify one change that you believe is called for in your
organization/workplace.
This may be a change necessary to effectively address one or more of the issues you
addressed in the Workplace Environment Assessment you submitted in Module 4. It
may also be a change in response to something not addressed in your previous
efforts. It may be beneficial to discuss your ideas with your organizational
leadership and/or colleagues to help identify and vet these ideas.
Reflect on
how you might implement this change and how you might communicate this change
to organizational leadership.
The Assignment (5-6-minute PowerPoint presentation):
Nurs6053 / Nrse6053 Change Implementation and Management Plan
Create a narrated PowerPoint presentation of 5 or 6 slides with video that presents a
comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose.
Your presentation should be 5–6 minutes in length and should include a video with
you as presenter.
Your Change Implementation and Management Plan should include the following:
An executive summary of the issues that are currently affecting your
organization/workplace (This can include the work you completed in your
Workplace Environment Assessment previously submitted, if relevant.)
A description of the change being proposed
Justifications for the change, including why addressing it will have a positive impact on your
organization/workplace
Details about the type and scope of the proposed change
Identification of the stakeholders impacted by the change
Identification of a change management team (by title/role)
A plan for communicating the change you propose
A description of risk mitigation plans you would recommend to address the risks
anticipated by the change you propose
