NURS FPX 4005 Assessment 4 Stakeholder Presentation

NURS FPX 4005 Assessment 4 Stakeholder Presentation Student name Capella University NURS-FPX4005 Nursing Leadership: Focusing on People, Processes and Organizations Professor’s Name Submission Date   Slide 1 Stakeholder Presentation My name is ______, and I am addressing you all. This is to introduce me to the Riverside Medical Center today to provide an interdisciplinary plan to address the major issues at the center. The objective of this plan is to enhance the coordination of care, since it is one of the causes of confusion and ineffective communication between departments whenever changing shifts. As a charge nurse, I ensure that the needs of the patients are addressed, the nurses assigned are handled, and communication across departments is effective. The notion is expected to enable providers to enhance their collaboration, enhance patient outcomes, and retain nurses that enhances the performance of the healthcare system (Paguio et al., 2020). Slide 2 The goal of this communication plan will be to apply structured tools and measures to reinforce the cooperation between the administration and the nursing staff in Riverside Medical Center during shift changes. The ultimate goal will be to enhance patient care as it becomes easier to exchange information to manage workloads more effectively and make superior decisions. The protocols are formulated with the involvement of all organizational members in order to ensure that they feel involved. This course of action is aimed at ensuring that the needs of patients and medical staff are taken into consideration and that all of them are transparent and accountable (Brenner et al., 2022). The charge nurse claimed that failure to coordinate the healthcare providers may lead to issues in terms of handover of patient care at the end of the shift. Slide 3 Organizational Issue The urgency of communication department improvement in Riverside Medical Center is great, as the shift in the changes of the workflow may decrease the speed of patient care and cause safety concerns. Providing significant updates on patients to administrative personnel is not always easy among nurses that could influence the quality of hospital decisions and operations. In order to resolve these issues, nurses, administrators, IT specialists, and patient advocates will collaborate to establish and adhere to the appropriate guidelines of healthcare communications. By taking this new direction, it will result in improved treatment choices and quality of care provided to patients (Keskinocak and Savva, 2019). The charge nurse noted that caring for patients is hard to give continuously since healthcare providers are not well coordinated. Effective communication at the time of shift change in Riverside Medical Center should be practiced by the nursing staff and administrative staff to guarantee that good treatment plans, continuous care, and responsiveness to patients are provided. Through these improvements, the hospital will be in a position to guarantee patient-centered care that will translate into improved outcomes and quality of care by patients (None et al., 2024). The proposed measures will enable patient information to be shared between departments with ease. Slide 4 Consequences of Not Addressing the Issue Change in shifts is one of the causes of fragmented coordination in patient care at Riverside Medical Center. Nurses have difficulties in reporting to the administrative staff on critical patient issues, resulting into latency in the delivery of care, treatment, and decision-making. The disrupted communication negatively affects hospital functioning, endangers medical errors, and patients with danger (Yaacoub et al., 2020). Addressing them will lead to improved functioning of the hospitals and patient care. Lack of effective communication between the departments at Riverside Medical Center hurts the patients. The inability to meet patients’ needs promptly due to poor communication may lead to misunderstanding and thus take a longer time than necessary to respond and endanger patients in certain cases (Pryce et al., 2021). Communication breakdown causes the quality of care to be compromised, causing issues in the delivery of efficient and timely services and posing possible threats to the recovery of the patients. The solution to such issues will lead to improved patient care as well as efficient healthcare. Slide 5 Relevance of Interdisciplinary Team Approach Clinical communication between departments during shift change is an essential factor in Riverside Medical Center since the interdisciplinary approach will integrate different perspectives to overcome the problem of fragmented care coordination. It must include nurses, IT specialists, administrators, and patient advocates in the team. Nurses give actual experiences of working with patients, administrators analyze the overall picture, and patient advocates help to remain focused on doing what is best in the interests of patients (Bhati et al., 2023). IT professionals are very important in ensuring that the needed communication technologies are used smoothly to streamline the processes. Effective collaboration between these teams will enable them to get improved patient outcomes through well-organized work. Slide 6 Evidence-Based Interdisciplinary Plan Summary Objective The fundamental goal of this interdisciplinary plan is to establish effective communication between departments at the Riverside Medical Center in case of changes in shifts. The primary objective is to connect an electronic handoff tool to the electronic health record (EHR) system that will facilitate the transfer and arrangement of information about patients to various departments with less effort. This is meant to prevent mistakes that can impair the safety of patients. Regular interdisciplinary talks and communication practice should be used every day to facilitate the use of the EHR extension (Engle et al., 2021). It will seek to hold the healthcare process more responsible, promote effective teamwork, and result in smoother and coordinated care that facilitates the efficient operation of patients and the system. Working The communication improvement strategy is based on a model of continuous improvement, the focus of which has now shifted to the implementation of the electronic handoff tool. The team opens up by defining key areas of communication failures between departments when transitioning and establishing detailed objectives to be achieved. Their impact on collaboration and safety is evaluated after making changes in the EHR by gathering data (Verma et al., 2021). These assessments alter the best practices and standardize them, such as providing proper and complete updates
