Care Setting Environment Analysis NURS FPX 6210 Assessment 1 Care Setting Environmental Analysis

As a nurse leader at City Hospital, it is imperative to have a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare environment and develop strategies to sustain competitive advantage while ensuring ongoing improvement in quality and safety outcomes. This requires the use of analysis techniques such as the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis to identify areas of improvement and develop a strategic plan (Shah et al., 2020). 

The AI model involves the discovery and dream phases, which focus on the positive aspects of the care setting and envisioning the ideal future. Besides this, SWOT analysis is very necessary to identify the issues within an organization and helps in making changes according to new developments. 

We can build a strategic plan that maximizes the strengths of the care setting, minimizes the weaknesses and threats, and creates opportunities for continuous improvement by utilizing these two techniques. This assessment provides an opportunity to examine the healthcare environment at City Hospital and determine whether we are making a positive difference in the lives of our patients and the community.
