How will the lessons from this term influence your individual perspective on yourself, organizational performance, models, and so forth? What key aspects will you add to your “toolbox”? Be specific in both the aspects and in how you envision employing each.

Becoming Clinical Leaders

1. Compare and contrast Congruent Leadership theory with Transformational leadership theory.
2. How do you think Stanley’s theory of Congruent leadership could provide a framework for changes at your place of work (long term care setting)?
3. Describe a situation where you might reflect on applying these leadership principles to lead a project in your organization (long term care setting). Tie these concepts to the work of development of a project. How might you apply these leadership principles in working with others to prepare for a change project implementation? Describe the first steps to begin this change. Please be sure to include identification of the stakeholders

Discussion

PROJECT OF CAUTI IS ATTACHED. Dissemination of EBP and research, such as presenting results at a conference or writing an article for a journal, is an important part of professional practice. Identify one professional journal and one nursing or health care conference where you might present your project. Discuss why each of your choices is the best option for you to disseminate your new knowledge.

Big Data Risks and Rewards/Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom/NURS – 6051N Transforming Nursing and Healthcare through Technology

Discussion: Big Data Risks and Rewards
When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.
From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.
As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.
To Prepare:
• Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs.
• Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.
ASSIGNMENT
Post a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples.

Strategic Plan Implementation -Case Study

Objective: Identify the key elements needed to maintain and sustain a strategic plan after its implementation.
– Identify potential barriers to implement a strategic plan.
Instructions:
Following the scenario with dermatology shortage in the previous week, let’s assume that among other strategies, Kaiser Permanente (Hospital) has decided to add dermatology service to a small Kaiser medical center in the same city and to hire additional dermatologists and nurse practitioners to ease the bottleneck at the other location.
At the present time, there are only adult primary care, OB/GYN, pediatrics, and laboratory services in this center. Some modification needs to be made to the existing space to make it ready for dermatology. It is projected that the new location will be ready to see patients in three months. Two months in, the operations manager left for another job. The space is nowhere near ready to see patients.
You are brought in as an internal consultant; you will be a Kaiser employee and work in the business office to help identify where things have gone wrong and what actions need to be taken.

Without the original source (the operations manager) to interview to learn about the problems and potential causes, your job is especially challenging as you have to consider all possible options.
**(The space would need to be specifically designed for dermatology, equipment and instruments purchased, and providers and staff hired and trained. In addition, state regulation and licensing may need to be updated for the additional service. Billing configuration would need to be ready for the new location to bill the insurance side and Medicare)**

*What do you think has gone wrong? (Review the steps in “Implementing a Strategic Plan” in the course materials to help you identify potential issues.) S.M.A.R.T Method
*What could be the barriers causing this implementation to fail? List 3 potential barriers and explain why.
*What would you recommend to address the barriers that you identify in question two?

Describe Data Presentation for Both Descriptive and Correlation Designs

Assignment
For this task, imagine that you were asked to present to a class of master’s level students who are enrolled in their first quantitative research methods course. Prepare a presentation that explains how you would ‘teach’ the concepts you have learned regarding how to describe data presentation for both descriptive and correlation designs.

Be sure to include the following in your presentation:

-An overview of both descriptive and correlational designs.

-An explanation of how data are presented regarding each design.

-Note the strengths and limitations of each design.

Support your presentation with at least five scholarly resources, appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 5 pages

Descriptive designs and resulting statistics can be composed of everything that can be counted (e.g., gender, age, height, weight). Correlational designs can help us determine the degree of relationship between two variables. Each design has specific ways in which data are prepared and presented. Descriptive statistics include summaries of distributions, measures of central tendency, and describing variability. Correlations and how they are calculated and presented informs us about how two things perform in a synchronous manner.

There are several ways to prepare and present both types of designs, and their statistical formulas. This can occur through numerical representation of data, graphical representation of data, and a summary in narrative format.
