Identify and describe two negative outcomes related to quality of care and patient safety that could occur, because of this situation. As the nurse leader, what is the first step you will take to address the problem and why

Scenario Put yourself in the role of an advanced practice nurse leader working in a community health clinic at a rural setting in your state. Two of the nurses assigned to home health visits have recently left the practice, resulting in an understaffed clinic office. As the advanced practice nurse leader in this office, it is your responsibility to ensure that patient care quality and safety is not compromised during this staff shortage. Discussion Questions:
1. Identify and describe two negative outcomes related to quality of care and patient safety that could occur, because of this situation. As the nurse leader, what is the first step you will take to address the problem and why? Support your rationale with best-practice evidence. 2. Discuss two solutions that you feel could address the problem; one short-term and one long-term. Include in your response examples of local, state, and national resources available to a rural clinic setting. Address cost and feasibility of implementation. Support your solutions with rationale and best-practice evidence. 3. Evaluate the potential impact of your short-term solution on this healthcare setting. Which leadership principle from the Albert et al. Chapter 2 (pp. 59–90) would you utilize to foster the change needed to implement your solution? Provide rationale for your decision.
Scenario Continuing the scenario from Module 1, C-Suite leaders (i.e., executive leadership) have decided to implement an electronic medical record system to help improve staff efficiency and access to patient care data. This is one example implementing an innovative solution to improve the quality of patient care. Questions 1. Apply the concepts of point-of-service, alignment, and value (discussed on pp. 149-155) as they relate to the proposed solution. How are these concepts being demonstrated? Or not? Support your answer with rationale. 2. As the first-line leader in this scenario, you live at the intersection of the system and the point-of-service. It is your job to implement this new initiative in the clinic. Which two skills (listed on pp. 161-162) would you see yourself utilizing in the beginning stages of implementation? Support your answer with rationale. 3. Healthcare changes constantly and it often feels like a new initiative is being rolled out daily. As a nurse leader, how will you support a creative and innovative infrastructure within your healthcare setting? How will you prevent “initiative fatigue” and keep your employees engaged with their work?
