Post an explanation of how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy.
Discussion: Organizational Policies and Practices to Support Healthcare Issues
Quite often, nurse leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas, such as those associated with choices between competing needs and limited resources. Resources are finite, and competition for those resources occurs daily in all organizations.
For example, the use of 12-hour shifts has been a strategy to retain nurses. However, evidence suggests that as nurses work more hours in a shift, they commit more errors. How do effective leaders find a balance between the needs of the organization and the needs of ensuring quality, effective, and safe patient care?
In this Discussion, you will reflect on a national healthcare issue and examine how competing needs may impact the development of polices to address that issue.
To Prepare:
- Review the Resources and think about the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously selected for study in Module 1.
- Reflect on the competing needs in healthcare delivery as they pertain to the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously examined.
By Day 3 of Week 3
Post an explanation of how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy. Then, describe any specific competing needs that may impact the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. What are the impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs? Be specific and provide examples.
By Day 6 of Week 3
Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days by providing additional thoughts about competing needs that may impact your colleagues’ selected issues, or additional ideas for applying policy to address the impacts described.

Scenario
Mandy took a trip to Rome, Italy. She gazed out over the open ocean 20,000 feet below as her airplane began its descent to her final destination of Rome. It had been a long flight from New York to Rome, but as she stretched, and her bones creaked as though she was old, she knew that in fact, she was a tiny bit younger than her compatriots back home, thanks to traveling at hundreds of miles per hour. In fact, time for her was running slowly compared to her friends in New York for two reasons: the speed at which she had traveled and the height of the airplane above the Earth. Neither, though, were noticeable.

The situation you can talk about is having to do an emergent intubation being new to the ER. Talk about all the news media surrounds a nurse that lost her license from making a medical error and being uncomfortable with doctor yelling out orders and having to administer medication because u felt underprepared/uncomfortable because thats not something I use to doing working on a step down unit(inpatient hospital). You could use the discussion topic of ” my thoughts and feeling in the situation” second guessing myself or looking to someone else for help but having to do it quickly because it was an emergency situation. The only thing that made me feel a little at ease was having a great team of nurses to help me and not being alone because it was a team effort.
The situation you could go into detail about was i was working in the trauma bay but still on orientation and my preceptor was allowing me to take the lead in situations at this point and i had an overdose come in and we could not get her saturation up so i had to intubate her for respiratory distress. The doctor went to yelling out orders and i was a little overwelmed but she started yelling out how much proprofol and etomidate we were going to use but no orders were entered so i immediatatly started to second guess myself. but i was not alone and everyone jumped in to help and everyone has a role and everything went well
select a topic based on what i just wrote
two scholarly in-text citation with a matching reference, APA format, present information in logical, meaningful, and understandable sequence, and is clearly relevant to the discussion topic. Grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation are accurate.
