WEEK 1
1. In your readings this week, six distinguishing traits of integrated leader-managers were
presented. Choose one of the distinguishing traits and discuss how you currently, or how
you would like to, integrate this trait in your role as a nurse leader. Share a specific
example

Dr. McDermott and class:
All though all six distinguishing traits of integrated leader-managers are important, for this
discussion I will be discussing the trait thinking in terms of change and renewal. According to
our reading, a leader with this trait looks at the organization and envisions ways to improve to
keep up with the ever changing healthcare world (Marquis & Huston, 2015). This trait is a lot
like the traits of a transformational leader. Transformational leaders look to “challenge the status
quo” (Raj & Srivastava, 2016, p. 201). Transformational leaders engage their employees to try
new things, acquire new knowledge, conduct trials, look at or develop new products and policies,
they look for improved performance for their units and organizations (Raj & Srivastava, 2016).
These things all tie into the trait of a leader manager that looks at the organization and envisions
ways to improve. As a nurse leader I hope that I will further develop transformational leadership
traits and leader-manager traits to become a leader that encourages employee engagement and a
staff that strives to better their care and our patient outcomes.
Currently as an assistant manager, I do encourage my staff to be engaged and involved as much
as possible. We have several nurses that sit on different councils throughout the hospital and
report back to our department at staff meetings. We encourage new ideas and look to our staff for
suggestions on how we can improve practice and patient outcomes. These are all related to the
leader-manager trait thinking in terms of change and renewal.
Thank you,
Erin

2. Healthcare systems are complex. You are the chief nurse executive (CNE) at a
healthcare organization. Share the type of healthcare delivery system you would implement
for your team. Discuss the rationale for your decision.

Dr. McDermott and class:
There are several different healthcare delivery systems discussed in our reading this week, and
several of them have aspects that would be beneficial for my healthcare system. I appreciated the
idea of positive-sum competition and the goal to “incentivize improved results rather than length
of stay” (Roussel, Harris, & Thomas, 2016, p. 7). I think this would be beneficial for our
patients. The hospital where I work is the county hospital and serves our regions uninsured, so
this would be beneficial for these patients and also for our hospital. In positive-sum competition,
“competition is at the level of diseases or treatments” (Porter, 2004, para. 4). Doctors would
begin to tailor their expertise and develop strategies to become more individualized, there would
be no network restrictions, pricing would be transparent, billing would be simplified, information
would be readily available, there would be no discrimination of previous medical diagnosis, and
competition would be about “providing information and excellent service” (Porter, 2004, para.
16). This ties in to better patient outcomes and that is what a hospital should be striving to
provide.
In our reading, I also appreciated learning more about personalized medicine. Personalized
medicine is based exclusively on a “person’s genetic profile” (Roussel et al., 2016, p. 9). I think
this is quite fascinating. Personalized medicine will help physicians to select a treatment plan for
a patient based on that patient’s genetic profile. One article I read about talked about drug
development in personalized medicine and how this can lead to more successful treatments and
decreases in adverse effects (Mirsadeghi & Larijani, 2017). The days of trial and error will be no
more and this will benefit our patients and improve patient outcomes. Personal medicine also
helps to get the patients more involved in their care and treatment (Roussel et al., 2016) which
would be great for this healthcare organization.
Thank you,
Erin
