To Prepare: Review the national healthcare issue/stressor you examined in your Assignment for Module 1, and review the analysis of the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. Identify and review two evidence-based scholarly resources that focus on proposed policies/practices to apply to your selected healthcare issue/stressor. Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post regarding competing needs. The Assignment (4-5 pages): Add a section to the paper you submitted in Module 1. The new section should address the following: Identify and describe at least two competing needs impacting your selected healthcare issue/stressor. Describe a relevant policy or practice in your organization that may influence your selected healthcare issue/stressor. Critique the policy for ethical considerations, and explain the police’s strengths and challenges in promoting ethics.
The healthcare issue or stressor identified earlier is nursing staff shortage in the healthcare organization. As can be surmised, this issue has far-reaching implications on the quality of care that a health institution can offer (Antwi & Bowblis, 2018). This fact derives from the simple fact that nurses are the one with direct contact to patients and therefore form the face of the organization’s service product. This paper therefore takes a look at this healthcare stressor in terms of competing organizational interest that impact it such as nurses’ need for better pay and a conducive working environment, and the patients’ need to be offered the best quality care possible by nurses who are committed to their job.
