The secret to effective delegation is both as simple and as complex as the words the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) uses to define delegation: "Delegation is transferring to a competent individual the authority to perform selected tasks in a selected situation.…

    When considering the impact of the transition from volume to value-based healthcare delivery within my organization which is Northwell Health, it is one that has been transpiring over the course of several years. The focal point of this effort is to reduce costs, all the while improving performance. It all begins with the way payments are structured and made. Usually a group of physicians will receive a payment from an insurance carrier to cover services that were rendered for their patients throughout the year. The payments are then modified if the patient has a condition that is determined to be severe, the group will then be compensated more for participating in the care of patients that have serious medical conditions.…

    There are several business principles related to patient and system costs in health care that are needed to maintain safe, quality, patient-centered care that is fiscally sound. For this discussion, I will put myself in the shoes of a nurse manager, director of nursing, Chief Nursing Officer, or business owner and consider three of the principles from the Greg Fisher Power Point (2008). The principles I will examine are: 1) decide what makes you different; 2) manage employees; and 3) set goals. The reason why I selected these three business principles is that they appear to me to be a good place to start the groundwork for any business model, including the field of health care.…

The TriCouncil for nursing recognizes the need for additional nurses to take on a central role in healthcare reform through leadership roles to meet the needs of the evolving healthcare system and supports the four key messages present by the IOM. Implementing the IOM’s Campaign for Action would also eliminate the confusion about what education level is required for each nursing position. Entry level nurses will be expected to have a BSN while nurse managers and educators will be required to hold a master’s of science in nursing (MSN), promoting a lifelong learning for nurses and improving overall patient care (Nursing 's future: What 's the message?,…
