ADVOCATING FOR THE NURSING ROLE IN PROGRAM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

As their names imply, the honeyguide bird and the honey badger both share an affinity for honey. Honeyguide birds specialize in finding beehives but struggle to access the honey within. Honey badgers are well-equipped to raid beehives but cannot always find them. However, these two honey-loving species have learned to collaborate on an effective means to meet their objectives. The honeyguide bird guides honey badgers to newly discovered hives. Once the honey badger has ransacked the hive, the honey guide bird safely enters to enjoy the leftover honey.

Much like honeyguide birds and honey badgers, nurses and health professionals from other specialty areas can—and should—collaborate to design effective programs. Nurses bring specialties to the table that make them natural partners to professionals with different specialties. When nurses take the requisite leadership in becoming involved throughout the healthcare system, these partnerships can better design and deliver highly effective programs that meet objectives.

In this Assignment, you will practice this type of leadership by advocating for a healthcare program. Equally as important, you will advocate for a collaborative role of the nurse in the design and implementation of this program. To do this, assume you are preparing to be interviewed by a professional organization/publication regarding your thoughts on the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.

  For this discussion board, I chose to appraise the role and responsibilities of the nurse and members of an interdisciplinary team across multiple healthcare settings in recognition, assessment, and interventions for the management of acute and chronic diseases. The role of the nurse is vital to patient care of acute and chronic diseases in many different ways. The nurse's role in all patient care is to educate the patient, advocate for adequate and ethical care, and be a middleman between the patient and the rest of the patient's care team. The nurses are the ones at the bedside assessing the patient and getting to know them. They then take this vital information to the other members of the care team like case management, specialists, or surgeons to provide adequate and holistic care. Without this information from the bedside, the patient wouldn't be able to be taken care of. The other members are vital to the patient's care by providing specific services that the nurse cannot like surgical intervention or certain medication. This class has shown me through each week's case study how important the interdisciplinary team is to the patient's holistic care of acute and chronic conditions. Going further in my practice I will make it a point to advocate for consulting the appropriate teams for adequate and quality care.
