The Nurse’s Role in Supporting the Organization’s Strategic Agenda
As hospitals seek to reduce the incidence of Never Events and improve the overall quality of health care provided, it is apparent that ultimate success will require the effort of the entire medical staff. Consider the nurse’s role in supporting the organization’s strategic agenda as it relates to improving clinical outcomes.
For this application you are asked to interview a quality manager in an acute care or long-term care agency of your choice. Your goal is to determine the manager’s view regarding the impact of the direct care nurse’s role in clinical outcomes for the organization. How does this influence the ability of the organization to achieve its strategic agenda? Before you attend the interview, create a list of relevant questions that will help you better understand the effect a nurse can have on the successful treatment of the patient.
Write a 2- to 3-page paper discussing what you learned from this interview.Discuss the nurse’s role in supporting an organization’s strategic agenda. How will what you learned impact how you approach your nursing responsibilities?
