HSA5500CBE Assessing Concepts and Theories of Healthcare Leadership

Assignment Content

Competency

Assess the implication and relevance of theoretical concepts and theories of leadership within healthcare settings.

Scenario

Due to increased turnover at Wynn Regional Medical Center (WRMC), analysis from the exit interview questionnaires was reviewed in a Board of Directors meeting. While reviewing the study, it was noted that “communication concerns” were common areas of dissatisfaction among the employees who resigned. The employees felt that:

– Managers did not hold regular staff meetings

– Employees were often not informed about changes in the organization.

– Managers did not ask employees for their input or feedback in decision-making

– Employees were unable to voice their concerns without retaliation.

– Managers should have communicated more respectfully.

You have been tasked with creating a presentation to address these communication concerns.

Instructions

The CEO of WRMC has asked you to create a PowerPoint presentation proposing a revised communication process for the board of directors. The presentation should contain speaker notes for each slide or voiceover narration. Based on the specific concerns listed in the scenario, your presentation should address how you will change the communication processes and include the following key points:

– What are some of a multicultural healthcare facility’s possible communication barriers and challenges? Could you include recommendations for addressing these barriers and challenges?
