Analysis of a Pertinent Health Issue

• Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study. • Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. • Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor. The Assignment (2-3 Pages): Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue Develop a 2 to 3 page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following: • Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization). • Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations. • Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the scholarly resources you selected. Explain how they may impact your organization both positively and negatively. Be specific and provide examples. .this was my feedback from professor, Thanks for the topic, but what is the exact cause of the problem? You treat the cause. Also be sure to cover both sides of an issue (cost). If my organization must go bankrupt, how much care will we provide to our community? We are losing hospitals every day, and more are going to close in the near future. If problem is retention, how would you fix it> More money is seldom the issue and research bears this out. Is it too few people in nursing field? why? can you impact that? Think outside the box. I look forward to some innovative ideas Please help that critique was from professor!!!! Here was my post The crisis in nursing staffing has become a significant issue since the COVID-19 pandemic. As healthcare providers, we must identify, adjust, and address the needs in healthcare and the decreased staffing ratios due to the nursing shortage. The social determinants of the staffing crisis are increased stress and burnout among healthcare workers. Determinants of turnover related to managerial style and support are also factors. The inability to retain qualified nurses is detrimental to the delivery of the healthcare system and population health, as understood even before COVID. (Halter et al.,2017) Griffiths et al. (2021) compare staffing plans with higher and lower staff rosters and their impact on patient outcomes. Rosters that were left understaffed increase costs due to longer patient stays and pose a significant risk to patient safety. The nurses at my organization had been complaining for 6 months before the COVID pandemic struck regarding the unsafe conditions for patients related to staffing, and their complaints continued through the next year. They tried to convince the CEO of what was needed to improve to protect patients and prevent nurses from leaving. Ultimately, this led to a historic 301-day strike for safer patient care related to staffing ratios. Ten months after the strike commenced, the organization decided it would allow the striking nurses to return to their exact positions at higher wages, thereby resulting in staffing improvements and improved staff-to-patient ratios (MNA, 2022). Dixon-Woods et al. (2012) make many outstanding points in their narrative. I find challenges 9 and 10 especially relevant to my organization as it has not secured sustainability (challenge 9), and there is evidence of unwanted consequences (challenge 10). It has neither maintained the promised staffing ratios, resulting in continued poor patient care outcomes. Many of those picketing nurses have left and gone to another local hospital. According to those I speak with who did so, the staffing is better there, and “they pay ten dollars more an hour.” So, at the bottom, that shows that the healthcare system is just like any other economic marketplace. However, those same economic forces may not lead to sustainable wages and still result in rebound staffing shortages. In conclusion, the issue these nurses were fighting for has had a profound impact, leading to the deterioration of what many would have called, before the strike, an otherwise remarkable healthcare system. Both sides had to adapt their behavior to bring about improvements, but unfortunately, this was not achieved. The nurses remain burdened with heavy workloads, understaffing, and lack of experience due to the new hires, inevitably leading to more errors and increased patient harm.
