Response #2

PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING IN 50 WORDS OR MORE:

3.  Understanding others’ roles provides insight into who can best perform a particular task and how it could be redesigned to be more efficient and effective. How would delegation have a positive effect on staffing?  

Delegation affects staffing positively because it increases productivity, effectiveness, and the overall performance of an organization. For instance, delegation enables managers to distribute responsibilities to employees who have the requisite expertise, knowledge, and specialized abilities, which guarantees that the task is carried out by people with the most necessary qualifications, producing superior results (Rubbab et al., 2023). It also enables equitable task distribution within the company, which helps promote a balanced workload by not overworking certain team members while underutilizing others by giving assignments to staff with the necessary skills.

Moreover, when employees work in an environment where tasks are effectively delegated, they get the opportunity for skill improvement and professional advancement. Delegations enable employees to learn and develop new abilities when given new duties, which boosts job satisfaction and motivation (Rubbab et al., 2023). Delegation also increases staff engagement and morale since it gives them a stronger feeling of ownership and pride in their work when they are given more freedom and responsibility, which increases their job satisfaction and loyalty to the company (Rubbab et al., 2023). Besides, when assigning tasks, it is important to communicate expectations, goals, and expected results clearly. Therefore, delegation of tasks encourages improved internal communication and guarantees that everyone is aware of their tasks and duties.

By delegating, managers are able to devote more of their attention to higher-level tasks like strategic planning, decision-making, and problem-solving. This can be especially useful for leaders who can make better use of their time by avoiding mundane duties (Colombo et al., 2021). Delegation also reduces risks by spreading them across the team members who participate in decision-making and task execution. This enables team members who experience challenges when executing different tasks to get assistance and prevent certain setbacks (Colombo et al., 2021).

In summary, delegation positively influences staffing because it maximizes resource allocation, fosters skill development, and raises employee engagement. It also improves the overall performance of an organization since it enables better use of personnel skills, which eventually leads to long-term success.

As you learned from the chapters and video lectures, there is a disbalance in the supply and demand of health care professionals. Some experts think that this happens in the US since too many medical students go into specialty medicine leaving many spots available in primary care while others believe that the problem is the overreliance of physicians instead of using other health care professionals to address a large majority of health care needs. What do you think are the real drivers of this disbalance? What would you do to improve this situation?

Discussion Post-

Describe the role of each component of the ECG in the heart’s contraction: the P wave, the PR interval, the QRS complex, the ST segment, the T wave, and the QT interval. What is the difference between artifact and dysrhythmia? How can you reduce artifacts? What are some situations that can occur if artifact is not reduced or eliminated?

You are working in the Telemetry Unit. The nurse “watching” the monitors is reading a magazine. She constantly turns off an alarm that looks a lot like Ventricular Fibrillation. She tells you that it is not a dysrhythmia, it is just artifact. What do you think about her actions? What is the worst case scenario in this situation? What would you do?
