Policy And Organizational Behavior

Investigate your organization’s compliance rate with one specific  core measure of your choice and write a 2-3-page (maximum) executive  summary analyzing the financial and regulatory impact of organizational  compliance with your chosen measure. Include recommendations for  improving performance on the measure. 

In order to promote safe, caring, patient-centered environments,  nurse leaders must both conceptually understand and be proficient at  performing a wide variety of leadership skills. Effective nursing  leaders develop and maintain awareness of issues that emerge at many  levels within and outside of their organizations. In addition to  developing self-assessing competencies necessary for their roles, nurse  leaders must also acquire organizational and systems leadership skill  sets.

In this program, you have examined the role, concepts, and principles of  health care policy and how legal and regulatory agencies interact with  professional nursing practice. You have also looked closely at the  factors that impact disparities in health care access. This  understanding of health care policy, as well as the multicultural,  socioeconomic, political, legal, and regulatory elements that affect  individuals, communities, and vulnerable populations, positions nurses  to bring about change through effective communication with colleagues,  consumers, and officials. Added to this is your demonstrated knowledge  of financial management and cost containment, as well as how they affect  quality of care.

To help you prepare for this assessment, review the resources you used  and the assessments you completed in BSN-FP4006, BSN-FP4008, and  BSN-FP4012.

For this assessment, write an executive summary analyzing the  financial and regulatory impact of organizational compliance with a  specific core measure of your choice. The summary must include  recommendations for improving performance on the measure.

You must be able to explain the financial implications associated  with the measure, as well as its importance in terms of policy,  regulation, and finance. This is another good opportunity to consult  with a key stakeholder within the organization. Talking to someone who  works closely with the organization’s finances can help you develop a  deeper understanding of the financial aspects of compliance. You also  need to suggest ways your organization can improve compliance and how  you would implement changes and overcome obstacles.

This may seem like an enormous undertaking, but you should approach  it as if you were to present this information to your supervisor or  manager. Keeping in mind that people in these positions do not have time  to read a 10–12-page report, you would typically give them only an  executive summary of your analyses and recommendations. That means that  you will need to be very clear and very concise with the information you  choose to include in the executive summary. Say as much as possible  with as few words as possible.
