Principles of Organizational Performance Management — C161
The purpose of this assessment is to help you develop the necessary skills and expertise to manage in the healthcare setting and understand the unique aspects of nursing leadership. Nursing leadership requires a unique set of skills relating to organizational performance and the healthcare industry. Leadership in the nursing profession, roles and responsibilities of the nurse leader, and human resource management are essential components of nursing management for leaders within the healthcare industry to understand. As the healthcare industry continues to change and reform, it is important for nurse leaders to be well prepared and well-rounded in the concepts of healthcare management and nursing leadership.
For this assessment, consider yourself a nurse leader (which could be your current role if you are in a nurse leadership role at your organization) responsible for multiple departments, units, or service areas. You are struggling with performance of outcome measures that are below benchmarks. You feel that if your teams and staff were more engaged, your outcomes would improve.
