Identify the stakeholder’s role/position in your organization.

Introduction

The implementation and success of a strategic plan depends on the support of key stakeholders. This in turn depends on your ability to communicate clearly and persuasively with decision makers and to sell your vision of the future. You must also be able to lead the initiative and sustain strategic direction. This assessment provides you with an opportunity to showcase your strategic thinking and exercise the communication skills necessary to move your strategic plan forward toward implementation.

Note: In this assessment, you will develop a presentation to stakeholders for the strategic plan you developed in Assessment 2.

Preparation

Your strategic plan has been reviewed, and you have been asked to present your plan—including operational recommendations and strategic control mechanisms—at a strategic visioning session with key stakeholders (senior leaders if your plan is organization-wide, community leaders if your plan is for a community health project, or the nurse manager of a specific department or team). This session is the next step in moving your plan toward implementation.

Your deliverable for this assessment is a slide deck of 10-20 slides to supplement your presentation and facilitate discussion of your plan. You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or any other suitable presentation software. Please use the notes section of each slide to develop your talking points and reference your sources, as appropriate.

As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

Reflect on the current cultural climate in your care setting.

• What aspects of the current cultural climate would aid in achieving one or more specific goals contained in your strategic plan?
• What aspects of the current cultural climate would present a challenge in achieving one or more specific goals contained in your strategic plan?
• What leadership theories, models, or strategies could help you turn this challenge into an opportunity?

Effectively communicating with internal and external stakeholders and constituencies can help in achieving strategic initiatives.

• How would you communicate the essential aspects of the strategic plan you developed in Assessment 2 to stakeholders or groups, both internal and external to your care setting?

 

Presentation

• Summarize your plan for achieving 2-3 main goals. Include corresponding metrics, targets, and initiatives to help achieve the desired quality or safety improvements in the care setting.

Note: It may be useful to think about what you hoped to achieve in addressing your care setting’s positive core or specific area of concern in Assessment 1. For example:

• Progress toward achieving the Triple Aim.
• Better patient safety outcomes.
• Lower readmission rates.
• Higher volume of patients and care.
• Increased financial gain.
• Minimizing staff burnout.
• Improved relationship and trust with the community or a specific population.

In addition, remember to consult the literature, research studies, and resources from professional and governmental organizations when developing metrics, targets, and initiatives.

• Explain how you will communicate your plan to those stakeholders and constituencies who are essential to implementing your plan and sustaining strategic direction.
  • Identify the key individuals or groups with whom you must communicate.
  • Identify the cultural or ethical factors, if any, that are relevant to the design of your communication plan, including how key individuals or groups typically prefer to be contacted.
• Describe the actions you will take to align your care setting’s structure, systems, shared values, management style, staff, and skills with your strategic goals.
  • Describe the changes that are needed to achieve your goals.
  • Describe the goals and processes for on-boarding relevant individuals or groups.
• Explain how you will evaluate the success of your strategic plan.
  • Define successful implementation.
  • Describe the successful outcomes for this project.
  • Explain how you will compare outcomes to current performance benchmarks.
  • Explain how you will collect data to evaluate whether you have achieved specific goals and outcomes.
  • Identify your priorities, assuming you cannot accomplish everything.
• Explain how relevant cultural, ethical, and regulatory considerations influenced the design of your strategic plan and strategies for its implementation.
• Explain your role, as a nurse leader, in successfully implementing your proposed plan and sustaining strategic direction.
  • Explain how leadership and health care theories support your role.
• Explain why your leadership qualities and skills will enable you to successfully implement your plan and sustain strategic direction.
  • Explain why you should be the one to lead this initiative.
  • Explain how you have demonstrated some or all of these qualities in past work.

Competing Needs in Healthcare Policy Development: National Healthcare Issue of Healthcare Workers Shortage 

Different needs can have a big effect on how policies are made to deal with the shortage of health care workers. As a graduate student in nursing who also works in a psychiatric hospital, I know how difficult things can get.
Haddad, L. M., Annamaraju, P., and Toney-Butler, T. J. (2020) say that nurses are an important part of health care and make up the most important part of the health field. The World Health Statistics Report says that there are about 29 million nurses and midwives in the world, with 3.9 million of them working in the United States. 

From an academic and evidence-based point of view, competing needs include restricted budgets, different goals among stakeholders, different places where people can get health care depending on where they live, and changing patient demographics. These things can cause tension and problems when making laws.
There aren’t enough nurses for a few main reasons: bad planning and allocation of the workforce; lack of new staff due to lack of resources; bad recruitment, retention, and “return” policies; inefficient use of nursing resources due to the wrong mix and use of skills; bad incentive structures; and lack of career support. 

                                                       Effects of Competing Needs on Healthcare Workers Shortage 

For instance, if you know a lot about psychology, you could show how important it is to have mental health experts. But because of shortages, other parts of health care may also need help. To find a balance and meet these needs, workforce estimates must be based on facts and take into account how many people are retiring and how many people are being born. 

Getting to population health, universal health coverage (UHC), and fair access to health care depends on having a health staff with enough capacity, capability, and quality to meet epidemiological challenges and changing needs. WHO says that by 2030, there will be 40 million more jobs in health and social care because more people will need them around the world. In most countries, nurses are the most highly skilled workers, and they make up about half of the world’s health care workers. 

                                                              Solving The Issue Of Competing Needs through Policy 

In this situation, it would be important for healthcare managers, policymakers, educators, and professionals from other areas to work together to make policy. Research that shows what works can help businesses decide how to hire, train, and keep workers. By recognizing and addressing these different needs, plans can be made to deal with the lack of healthcare workers and take psychiatric nursing experience into account. 

When it comes to psychology, having different needs can have a big impact on how healthcare decisions are made. As a psychiatry nurse practitioner, for example, you might run into situations where the patient’s need for freedom conflicts with the need to give the right care and make sure the patient is safe. Finding a balance between individual rights and the bigger goals of treatment success and patient well-being requires healthcare professionals, policymakers, and patients to make decisions based on evidence and work together. When making plans to deal with these hard problems, it is important to think about study, clinical standards, and ethical principles. 

Most people who talk about nurse shortages say that lawmakers should pay attention to all parts (called “policy bundles”) and not make policies based on simple, linear thinking. There is proof of this in both high- and low-income countries, where programs that only focus on growing nurse training have not increased the number of nurses entering the workforce or filled gaps in priority areas where there have been shortages in the past. 

To deal with the lack of health care workers, we need a plan with many parts, including laws that help hire, keep, and train people. Some ways to improve access to healthcare are to pay healthcare workers more money, expand training programs, improve working conditions, and use telemedicine. Evidence-based policies can be made by looking at trends in the workforce, figuring out how different actions affect the situation, and involving stakeholders to make sure the policies are well applied.
