Assignment: Application: Taking a Stand

Effective leaders have a high degree of self-awareness and know how to leverage their strengths in the workplace. Assessments are a valuable tool that professionals can use to learn more about themselves and consider how their temperament and preferences influence their interactions with others.

As you engage in this learning process, it is important to remember that everyone—regardless of temperament type or related preferences—experiences some challenges with regard to leadership. The key to success is being able to recognize and leverage your own strengths while honoring differences among your colleagues.

At some point in your leadership career, you will encounter an ethical or moral dilemma that requires you to take a stand and defend your position.

For this Assignment, you evaluate an issue and consider how you could act as a moral agent or advocate, facilitating the resolution of the issue for a positive outcome.

To prepare:

· Consider the examples of leadership demonstrated in this week’s media presentation and the other Learning Resources.

· To further your self-knowledge, you are required to complete the Kiersey Temperament as indicated in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider your leadership style, including your strengths for leading others and include your results from Kiersey Temperament Sorter to describe potential challenges related to your leadership style.

· Mentally survey your work environment, or one with which you are familiar, and identify a timely issue/dilemma that requires you to perform the leadership role of moral agent or advocate to improve a situation (e.g., speaking or acting on behalf of a vulnerable patient, the need for appropriate staffing, a colleague being treated unfairly).

· What ethical, moral, or legal skills, dispositions, and/or strategies would help you resolve this dilemma? Define the differences between ethical, moral, and legal leadership.

· Finally, consider the values and principles that guide the nursing profession; the organization’s mission, vision, and values; the leadership and management competencies addressed in this course; and your own values and reasons for entering the profession. What motivation do you see for taking a stand on an important issue even when it is difficult to do so?

To complete:

Write a 4 to 5 page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following:

· Introduce the conceptual frameworks of the ethical constructs of ethics, moral, or legal standards and the purpose of the paper.

· Consider  an ethical, moral, or legal dilemma that you have encountered in your work environment and describe it.

· Analyze the moral, ethical, and legal implications utilized in this situation. Describe your role as a moral agent or advocate for this specific issue.

· Consider your leadership styles identified by your self-assessment and determine if they act as a barrier or facilitation during this dilemma.

International Council of Nurses (ICN) Code of Ethics

/in /by

this is my paper has to be one page apa style and reference page if needed thank you

Read the International Council of Nurses (ICN) Code of Ethics for Nurses online at  http://ethics.iit.edu/ecodes/node/5695 and the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics for Nurses online at http://www.nursingworld.org/codeofethics

Briefly compare and contrast the two codes. What elements do they have in common? In what ways do they differ?

Why do you think patients are reluctant to complain about their care and what are some of the reasons for mistakes or errors in care?

/in /by

A great deal of past and recent healthcare concern has centered on the errors made in patient care or overall healthcare of people. Many suggest that the legalities of healthcare attempt to balance the expectations of society for healthcare and the mistakes of caregivers with thousands of successful events of exceptional care each year. Yet many cases of errors in care also often go unnoticed or unreported simply because a patient or family member is reluctant to complain about their or their loved one’s care for a variety of reasons. Why do you think patients are reluctant to complain about their care and what are some of the reasons for mistakes or errors in care? Discuss this in two different contexts: you as a patient, and your parent or child as a patient.

Please review the assignment instructions below, and each of the deliverables:

Scenario: You are the new HIM Director for Community Healthcare which includes an 1) acute care hospital, an 2) attached clinic and an 3) attached long term health facility. After several weeks on the job you realize that the documentation guidelines are outdated and it appears they have not been updated for nearly 10 years. After asking questions of the staff, it sounds like they are following current documentation standards, it is just that the written guidelines have not been brought up to date. You set out to update the written guidelines.

You first need to compile the guidelines set forth by the CMS since those are the regulatory bodies that monitor your organization.

Instructions:

  1. Locate the documentation standards for the CMS Conditions of Participation.
  2. Create a table listing medical record documentation standards for CMS Conditions of Participation for each segment of Community Healthcare (Acute Care Hospital, Clinic (RURAL HEALTH), and Longterm Care). You will have 3 tables, one for each type of facility.   See the websites for each type of facility for your table.
