Shared Governance In Nursing Profession

191 Words1 Page

In the article, Shared Governance: Reality or Sham? In Nursing Profession, the authors feel our health care needs today are “calls for creative and dramatic responses to a new set of variables influencing health service delivery. Creating organizational structures that demand the highest responsibilities from professional nurses will be vehicle that moves us into a new age of health care” (Radha & VijayaNarayanan, 2014, p. 36). They argue in favor of shared governance, reporting that the structural format activates more accountability in the nurse, it empowers the decision-making process for nursing, it’s hierarchy reduces conflict by preparing nurses along with maintaining channels of conflict resolution and it provides more nursing support

    Week One Discussion Two Response to O 'Neill The addition of nurse leaders in the executive suite is essential in facilitating the perception that nurses are critical decision makers in the health care industry. Furthermore, it is imperative that a formal succession plan is incorporated in organizations to assure strategic leadership, quality care, and operational effectiveness incorporate nursing at the uppermost level of decision and influence (Trepanier & Crenshaw, 2013). The Chief Nurse Executive role is evolving as a tactical authority in acquiring a major influence on our nation’s health care delivery systems and clinical outcomes (Bradley, 2014).

  • Reflection On Clinical Governance

    799 Words  | 4 Pages

    For this assessment, I will be reflecting on what clinical governance looks like in my workplace, with a critique of the framework used within the organization. During the reflection I will discuss what pillars and principles were found, while describing my fellow team members’ understanding of clinical governance and how it is reflected in their practice. Finding the clinical governance framework for my workplace was challenging and time consuming without computer access in place of hard copy policy and procedure manuals. I found clinical governance summerised through the manuals, ensuring compliance of the 44 accreditation standards (Australian Aged Care Quality Agency, 2014) but as Knight, Kenny and Endacott (2015) discuss, while the concept is accepted, there is a gap between theory and practice, which is visual where I work. Pillars and principles such as risk management, efficiency, effectiveness, patient centric and equity are seen throughout the policies, and to analyse more specifically, clinical governance is articulated under categories, consisting of “education and training, clinical audit, clinical effectiveness, research and development and role clarity” (Davies, Chapman & Boyd, 2015 p.45).

    Shared governance is an innovative model used to provide direction for the professional practice of nursing. This model is used to direct nurses to participate in unit-based decision making that allow nurses to demonstrate accountability and ownership for their practices. The goal of the model is to improve quality patient care contain costs, and retain nursing staff.

Delegation is an extremely important ingredient in the delivery of care provided by health care professionals. However, with delegation comes great responsibility. Licensed Nurses must always know the laws enforced by their state boards as to what levels of care can be delegated to another provider and who has the authority to perform the delegated tasks. Every state has different laws as to what services can be delegated and by whom.

Such as, the ability to support and empower their team members, be well organized, remain consistent with their expectations, and be able to communicate with their team. Support and empower the team members An example of this quality is a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) on one of the units at Wascana Rehabilitation Center (WRC), where I had one of my clinical rotations.

    An analysis of recent literature on the effect of healthcare leadership revealed that nursing leadership was the primary barrier to establishing best practices in the clinical setting (2011). Furthermore, nursing leadership is shown to define clinical organisational culture, collaboration, and lateral violence which are all shown to impact patient outcomes indirectly (2015). A meta-analysis of 20 individual studies revealed nursing units with reported poor leadership had significantly higher adverse events, including the incidence of urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and higher patient mortality. Comparatively, nursing units with reported strong leadership had significantly less adverse events, including fewer medication errors, falls, pressure areas, and lower patient mortality (2013). Therefore, a strong correlation between effective nursing leadership and improved patient safety is shown to exist and vice

Advocating and designing care with the patient and family is a true skills set and cultural attribute that adds tremendously to a culture of safety and patient – centeredness but requires the most able leadership to build these bridges across the many professionals engaged in care. Building this culture is a leadership challenge and there is no one in my experience better able to make these changes than nursing leaders ( Maureen Bisognano, 2009). Nurses should not just be at the bedside or within the nursing community but must be involved as leaders and decision – makers throughout the healthcare system. As Maureen Bisognano (2009) points out, the best nurses are accomplished envoys among different players and interests involved in direct patient care, which is a skill needed throughout organizations and businesses, not just in hospitals or
