FEEDBACK: The qualities you identified are commendable and describe an outstanding leader. Citing sources that validate your claims that these are good leadership qualities strengthened your suggestions.
You did not explicitly tie the identified qualities to the Lakeland project. To do so, it would be necessary to connect the leadership qualities identified to diversity and inclusion and the clinic itself. Doing so would make it clear that they are appropriate and would be effective in addressing the identified needs of the community.
Compare one’s own leadership skills against those of a chosen health care leader.
FEEDBACK: You did not identify a known leader in healthcare and did not identify the leadership qualities of this leader.
You also need to clearly identify similarities with your own qualities with the specific qualities you describe and use specific examples or actions that illustrate these similarities.
Additionally identify differences between you and the leader and use specific examples or actions that illustrate these differences.
Using examples or actions from your own practice to illuminate the similarities and differences would strengthen this comparison.
Explain one’s role as project leader, using approaches from a selected leadership model.
FEEDBACK: Your choice of Transformational leadership style is a good choice. However, it is not clear how you would apply Transformational leadership to the team. Keep in mind that Lynette has specifically asked you to lead the Diversity Committee and share with her how you will actively facilitate team members collaboration.
Do not confuse leading the team with leading the clinic. Lynette has asked you to lead the TEAM.
The style of leadership you are embracing needs to be clearly identified, cited, and then integrated within your discussion of your role as team leader. To achieve this competency, you will need to:
1. Identify the leadership style (s) you are embracing
2. Provide a description and definition of these leadership styles and cite with a credible and scholarly source for each style.
3. Demonstrate the qualities of this leadership style as you describe your role as team leader and your vision for the creation of a diverse and inclusive workforce at Lakeland Clinic.
I encourage you to think more deeply on how you would enact Transformational leadership by providing examples.
For example, does a Transformational leader assign roles and responsibilities or collaborate with the team to decide how they will work together?
Sharing your vision of some of the potential solutions the team might work together on would also be helpful.
Note especially that your approach to the Diversity Committee team members should resonate with your description of how you wish to be as a Transformational leader.
Describe and apply to practice an approach to effectively facilitate collaboration among a professional team.
Lynette stated the following:
Lynette: “I want you to assemble a committee to clearly define the problem and ultimately provide guidance on solutions. Before introducing you to the clinic director and executive team, I want to review your approach specific to leadership style and collaboration.”
Lynette’s Directive: Describe your role and approach to leading the group. How will you lead and communicate? Will you be an authoritative, collaborative, democratic, Collaborative, or transformational type of leader? Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your approach in the context of this project.
FEEDBACK: You will need to be more specific about the Diversity Committee and the ways in which you will encourage team communication and collaboration. Keeping in mind that you are the leader of this team of 4-5 individuals (including one member of the community), what specific collaboration strategies will you use? Lynette wants to know if you can facilitate the team in their collaborative work (you are not expected to “run the show”, rather you are expected to facilitate team collaboration and shared decision making. See the point?
The charge from Lynette is for you to clearly outline how inter-professional collaboration will be fostered. She expects specific and clear methodologies to be identified and clarified. Being more intentional about how collaboration will be encouraged and supported would also be helpful. For example, how would a Transformational leader support and encourage team collaboration? What specific strategies would be helpful? Clearly and intentionally describing how the team will participate in collaboration exercises and strategies: for example, using team building experiential activities when meeting in person. Go beyond “naming” and describe the specific strategies you will use (for example, it is not enough to state you will have “shared decision making… or “team building activites”… what specific strategies will you use? how will you ensure this?_
In your revision, choose and describe at least TWO collaboration experiential strategies.

HERE’S add’l info that may assist you in revising this assignment.
You have a reasonable start to the letter and the opportunity to strengthen your understanding of your role as leader of a team addressing the diversity concerns of Lakeland Clinic. Your efforts are appreciated and reviewed for the purpose of supporting your development in both leadership and academic writing.
I have provided feedback and suggestions to help you to revisit some sections of the paper and encourage you to review the resources provided to help you succeed.
In order to achieve passing competencies, you need to revise any sections graded as “Basic or “Non-Performance”.

– Explicitly name the leadership qualities you have in common with a known healthcare leader and also note at at least one difference. Use specific examples or actions from your own practice that illustrate the similarities and differences. Note: YOU are leading the project… here you are simply comparing yourself to a leader to show Lynette what kind of leader you are.
-Beyond explicitly identifying the style of leadership you will use in your role, refer to these qualities as you describe the changes you are envisioning; most especially how you will demonstrate this style in your leadership of the small Diversity Committee of 4-5 members.
– Describe how you will explicitly facilitate team communication and collaboration. Keep in mind that you have been charged with Leading a designated TEAM… Lynette is specifically asking you to address how you will do that. Broad descriptions of your vision of the changes that need to be made in the clinic, while excellent, do not reflect how you will work with a small team and how you will facilitate communication and collaboration within that TEAM.

The final assignment is Module #2 Current Issues in Health Policy, which is worth a maximum of 50 points. It is important to understand that Module #2 Current Issues in Health Policy is the first assignment in a series of assignments that will you complete over the next five weeks on the same healthcare issue / topic that you select (in subsequent weeks, you will discuss the state and federal policy actions implemented to address the issue/problem). Therefore, I suggest you select a healthcare issue / problem that interests you.
To start, you need to choose a specific healthcare challenge / topic faced by your local level government that has prompted the implementation of a policy by the local level government. Once you selected a specific healthcare challenge / topic, complete the assignment that contains the following elements:
Define the Problem in your Local Area: Describe the specific issue or problem within your local community that has prompted the implementation of a policy.Word limit: 200 words
You are free to choose any current issue / problem related to health policy that has an impact at your local level
Provide background information on the problem, including its causes and potential consequences.
As a reminder, the focal point of this assignment is on the local level, not the state or nationwide level
To clarify, local level is defined as a city (such as Orlando or Nashville, for example), a county (such as Orange County or Davidson County, for example) or a region (Central Florida or Middle Tennessee, for example)
To receive maximum points, the issue / problem must be clearly defined and include relevant context, statistics, and stakeholders, such that a deep understanding of the local issue is demonstrated
State the Policy: Identify 1 to 3 specific policy actions that have been implemented by the local government to address the identified issue / problem.Word limit: 200 words
To receive maximum points, clearly identify 1 to 3 specific policy actions, provide a concise explanation of each policy and its key components, and how each policy action is intended to mitigate the issue. Well research the policy actions and make sure they are directly related to the defined issue / problem.
Make Your Case: Analyze and present arguments in favor of the selected policy actions taken by the local government.Word limit: 300 words
Consider the stakeholders involved, the political and social context, and any supporting evidence or data.To receive maximum points, make a compelling argument for why these policies were deemed necessary, using critical thinking skills, and incorporate well researched evidence, expert opinions, and / or relevant case studies. The rationale should be clear, persuasive, and effectively support the policy choices implemented
Discuss the Impact of the Policy on Your Local Area: Evaluate the effectiveness and consequences of the implemented policy actions on your local community.Word limit: 300 words
Discuss any notable improvements or drawbacks resulting from the policies.
Consider the perspectives of various stakeholders and provide evidence to support your analysis.To receive maximum points, thoroughly discuss the impact of the policy actions implemented on the local level, including both intended and unintended consequences. The analysis should demonstrate critical thinking and supported by relevant data or examples.
Proofread your paper before submission and ensure that the assignment is well-organized, coherent, and free from grammatical errors. Even though the United States does not have a centrally controlled system of health care delivery, it does have a history of federal, state, and local government involvement in health care and health policy. The formation and implementation of health policy occurs in a policy cycle comprising five components:
Issue raising
Policy design
Public support building
Legislative decision making & policy support building
Legislative decision making and policy implementation
These activities are likely to be shared with Congress and interest groups in varying degrees.
Below are few examples of current issues in health policy but you are not limited to these few. You are free to choose any current issues related to health policy that has an impact at their local, state and federal levels.
Prescription Drug Costs – A quarter of Americans can’t afford necessary prescriptions and may skip doses or otherwise not take medication as prescribed.
High Costs of Healthcare – The United States has one of the highest costs of healthcare in the world.
Availability of Skilled Workforce – The United States needs more than 17,000 additional primary care practitioners, 12,000 dental health practitioners and 8,200 mental health practitioners, according to data from the Health Resources & Services Administration. Those numbers are based on data that HRSA receives from state offices and health departments.
Fee-for-Service Healthcare – FFS means that medical staff bill for each service provided, using established billing codes. The more care a physician provides, the more they’re paid, this can lead to unnecessary tests and treatments.
Health Equity – Why are there disparities in health care outcomes between different populations?
The process establishing new health policy includes defining a problem, collecting data, researching solutions, choosing a course of action, implementing the plan, and evaluating the results. During each step, policymakers must weigh economic, political, social, legal, ethical, and administrative factors.

New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies.
Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking.
In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as “the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”
Identify and select 4 peer-reviewed research articles from your research.
The Assignment: (4-5 pages not including the title and reference page)
In a 4- to 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed. Format your Assignment as an Annotated Bibliography. Be sure to address the following:
Identify the 4 peer-reviewed research articles you reviewed, citing each in APA format.
Include an introduction explaining the purpose of the paper.
Summarize each study, explaining the improvement to outcomes, efficiencies, and lessons learned from the application of the clinical system each peer-reviewed article described. Be specific and provide examples.
In your conclusion, synthesize the findings from the 4 peer-reviewed research articles.
Use APA format and include a title page.
Use the Safe Assign Drafts to check your match percentage before submitting your work.

Please submit your research article critique here. On the cover page be sure to identify the research article selected. A rubric has been provided.
