Discussion Boards and 2 Research Projects For ALL DBs: Within the Discussion Board area, write 250 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. You are required to use 1 scholarly resource, in addition to your textbook. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. DB1 You are the manager of a nursing department. A new CEO has taken over the top leadership position and is requiring every nurse manager to develop at least one innovative strategy to promote quality patient care. You are participating in a meeting with your peers (10 nurse managers for your organization) to discuss the strategic use of innovation in patient care delivery in your department. Explain at least 2 strategic uses of innovation in health care. Using at least 2 current (within the last 5 years), peer ­reviewed journals, describe at least 2 ways to create innovation in nursing practices. DB2 You are now the manager of your nursing department or clinical area. A new chief executive officer (CEO) has taken over the top leadership position and is requiring every nurse manager to develop at least one innovative strategy to promote quality patient care. Your CEO has requested you conduct an analysis of an innovation in health care. Choose 1 innovation from one of the following categories and identify one particular area in your clinical setting in which this innovation is used. Innovations in health care technology Innovative products Innovative designs Innovative service delivery systems Innovative operations Discuss how this particular innovation is used in your clinical setting. DB3 You want to create your own health care innovation that will be very effective in your clinical area. Knowing that there are two main types of innovations, you want to choose the type of innovation that will be most effective. Identify a health care delivery issue for which there have already been research and development­ based innovations and customer­ based innovations. Related to that health care delivery issue, research and cite the following: at least one research and development­based innovation at least one customer ­based innovation For that health care delivery issue: explain which innovation you believe was most effective (the research and development­ based innovation, or the customer ­based innovation) support your decision with evidence using at least 2 current (within the last 5 years) peer­ reviewed journals. Unit 3 Project : 2­ to 3 pages; excluding title page and references Description: You are the nurse manager of a satellite home care facility. In preparation for speaking to the national home care convention, your new CEO has requested that you: Read 2 current (within the last 5 years) research studies from peer ­reviewed journals related to innovation in health care delivery so you can speak to the national home care convention regarding your findings. One related to research and development innovation in health care One related to customer ­based innovation in health care Develop a report of your findings to hand out to your audience Introduction that is thorough, clear, and concise Summarize your findings from both research articles Organize your findings into bullet points Conclusion that compares and contrasts the 2 types of home health care innovations. Unit 4 DB Based on your health care innovation selected in your discussion from Unit 3, complete the following: Discuss how you would plan to implement this innovation into your clinical setting. Select a change theory that you would use to develop this plan. What method of evaluation would you use for this innovation implementation? Unit 4 Project Deliverable Length: 3­ to 5 pages; excluding title page and references Description: You are the manager of a nursing department. A new chief executive officer (CEO) has taken over the top leadership position and is requiring every nurse manager to develop at least one innovative strategy to promote quality patient care. Utilizing the nursing process as your guide, you will formulate a plan for an innovation in patient care delivery for an entire nursing department or unit. You are charged with the responsibility of developing a comprehensive and complete plan that addresses all technology services in your nursing department or unit. For this assignment, prepare a report of 3–5 pages that describes the plan for innovation in patient care delivery in the nursing department or unit. It should include all of the following: Title page Introduction: This should explain what the paper is about including the purpose of your report. Assessment: Identify the area, service, or product requiring innovation. Describe how you will approach an inventory of technology for your nursing department or unit, and how you will prioritize your findings. Diagnosis: Diagnose (Identify) problems and discuss how and why innovation is needed. Plan: Your suggestions and recommendations for action. You may wish to include the following: Examine the literature surrounding and supporting your area of innovation. Recommend the strategies and processes needed to effectively complete this innovation in the organization while protecting patient safety and quality of care. Outline the steps that are needed to put the innovation into practice. Evaluation: Suggests 2–3 questions that will measure the innovation’s effectiveness. Conclusion: Summarize your report. Citations and references: Use at least 2–3 current (within the last 5 years) peer­reviewed journals, and cite them in APA format. Unit 5 DB Reflect on what you have learned during this course in relation to the course objectives. Based on this knowledge gained, propose a minimum of 3 strategies that may be utilized for application of innovation as a collaborative activity for teams of nurses and other providers in the delivery of health care to improve patient outcomes.
