Strategic Analysis and Leadership Interventions

In order to determine if we have done what we have set out to do, we, as nurse leaders, need to assess situations, events, and outcomes.

1.Using the work issue you identified in Unit 2 (please refer to the uploaded papers that I attached), find an analysis model that is appropriate to that issue. Identify and describe the model you will be using, then use the model to analyze your work issue. Be sure to address the issue from a nurse leadership perspective.

2.Choose one additional model (Which is the FOCUS-PDCA MODEL: SEE BELOW) and briefly describe that model. Now, suggest ten interventions that would be useful for the nurse leader when dealing with a variety of work issues. For each intervention, provide the expected outcome.
F = FIND THE PROCESS TO IMPROVE
O = ORGANIZE A TEAM
C = CLARIFY CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROCESS
U= UNDERSTAND THE CAUSES OF PROCESS VARIATION
S = SELECT THE PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
P = PLAN THE IMPROVEMENT
D = DO THE IMPROVEMENT, DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
C = CHECK RESULTS AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE TEAM EFFORT
A – ACT TO HOLD THE GAIN TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS
THIS PROCESS WAS TAKEN FROM Taming The “No Show” Tiger: Decreasing the Rate of Absenteeism at Educational Programs by Michal, Diane M, MS, R. N., C.E.N., Omer, Laura P, M. A., R. N. O’Very, Dorothy I, MA, RN, C, Leblanc, L., Chaffee, Mary W. BS, BSN, RN C.E.N., C.C.R.N., & Delizo, Caroline V, B.S.N., R.N. (1996). The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing, 27(2), 75-79.

3.Support your choices with references from both your unit readings, and at least two resources not required for this course. These may come from the journals you used in your Annotated Bibliography.
(I didn’t follow instructions regarding the bibliography; I submitted books instead of journals which was mu fault, so the references from the peer-reviewed journals in paper U5A1 can be used).
