survey

/in /by

Reflect upon the survey you took. In your initial response, address some of the following questions. Explain your answers.

  • Did you find it easy to make confident and decisive decisions with several strongly agree or strongly disagree answers, or did you select mostly moderate responses?
  • Did any subject areas trigger personal emotions or issues?  If so, do you feel you were able to remain objective? 
  • Were any of the decisions especially difficult to make?
  • Did you employ any critical thinking or resolution strategies to determine a response?
  • Did you rely on policy or legal parameters to make your decisions? 
  • Would you be comfortable making your answers to the survey public, or do you prefer anonymity?
  • Have you dealt with similar situations and could you perceive similar situations occurring in your clinical practice?
  • How might a moral inventory such as this survey impact your clinical practice?

Please share additional thoughts as well.

Connection

/in /by

It has been documented and demonstrated that a safe work environment that prioritizes process improvement produces positive patient experiences. An effective physician-nurse leader connection is one of the essential elements of this setting. Talk about an instance when you attempted or failed to involve a physician leader in patient experience initiatives. 

What might you have changed or improved upon? 

What worked if you were successful? 

Did any of these initiatives result in safer or better outcomes for patients? Why, or why not?

Option 1:

Contemporary presidential campaigns are using social media as a campaign tool by posting on media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook. Social media could be a successful tool to use for a presidential campaign because you can reach more people and you can reach people who do not follow politics. “Social media and its highly visible environment provides presidential candidates the ideal platform to promote themselves, articulate their policy goals, and interact with voters – directly and without the filter of the mainstream media.” (Hwang, 2016) It’s also a way for them to get their message out there without spending a significant amount of money. Messages are posted on a feed or recorded and posted to their social media account for voters to go back and read or watch the videos at a time that is convenient for them. “Some have argued that Donald Trump’s success in the 2016 Republican primaries and caucuses was, in part, a product of his ability to take advantage of media outlets’ insatiable desire to attract viewers, listeners, and readers.” (Greenberg, 2018, p.143) Before social media, voters had to catch it live on television or read about it in the newspaper. Social media has made it easier for Americans to access information about the political candidates.

reflection on your work and experiences in this course

/in /by

Create a 2-page reflection on your work and experiences in this course.

Doctoral-level health care professionals have many opportunities to reflect on their contributions to their field and organization. After completing any portion of a project, it is important to evaluate how well it met its objectives. Such evaluation enables practitioners and leaders to explore and reflect on their experiences and identify opportunities for future improvement.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to reflect on your achievements, challenges, and improvement opportunities related to your work on your doctoral project and at your project site during this course. By reflecting on these areas, you can deepen your critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as locate your position on your project journey as you progress to the next course.

One way you could organize your reflection is to take a simplified gap-analysis approach for each of the four main topics for the reflection:

· What happened?

. What did you do and what were the results of your work?

. Remember to mention the relevant evidence you used to guide your approach to your work.

· What went well?

· What did not go well?

. How did actual events differ from your predictions?

. If relevant, mention the evidence that helped you formulate your prediction about what should have happened.

· How are your experiences changing your thinking, analysis, and communication patterns?

. How can you use this information to improve?

. If relevant, look to the literature to support your potential changes.

While you may use any appropriate approach to organize your reflection, be sure that you address the following scoring guide criteria
:

· Reflect on process, outcomes, success, and opportunities for improvement related to the development of your QI/PI framework.

· Reflect on process, outcomes, success, and opportunities for improvement related to the development of your project implementation plan and logic model.

· Reflect on process, outcomes, success, and opportunities for improvement related to collaboration and other relevant work at the project site.

· Integrate support from scholarly and authoritative sources to strengthen claims and substantiate decision making.
