Nursing shortage and nurse’s turnover have proved being a worsening predicament in the healthcare industry in the United States. Studies indicate that, by the year 2020 it may worsen to approximately 30% when no strict measures are undertaken to solve the predicament.
In this paper, the author is highlighting the issues concerning the nursing shortage and the nurse turnover. It also discusses how they solve this issue differently and effectively by using applicable leadership and management theories. The aim of this paper is to analyze how the nursing management and the manager’s approaches or handling the sepsis bundle in the most appropriate time possible.
Sepsis care bundles.
Sepsis refers to a certain kind of syndrome with a severe magnitude, comprising of a wide range of clinical conditions that are adverse. These conditions manifest inform of negative fallouts of the body systematic responses to an assured infection. In respect to its multifactorial nature, this disorder has remained a rapid killer of millions of people in the world. Through studies, it is clear that, sepsis has recorded a high mortality rate, which is ranked as one in four.
On the other hand, bundles in this case refer to a group of therapies that are based on the best evidence guidelines. It is clear that once these bundles in sepsis are of great benefit, once the nursing leaders and managers implement them effectively. Such group of leaders can help in redesigning the bundle process in the following ways. They should try to come up with evidence-based intravenous that best applies to patients’ cohort with common diseases.They should also use their controlling powers and develop a will in the providers that best delivers the intravenous every time the issue recurs. They may also come up with compliance measures that contain all the practice guidelines in the sepsis care bundle. It is also their obligation to redesign the whole delivery system to fit into a 90-minute process hence ensuring that the intraventious contained in the bundle are all delivered accordingly. Finally, the leadership group should measure the related outcomes to assess whether the changes effects in the delivery system are appropriate.
Therefore, any disease is in need of well-developed therapies that are effective, its abilities relies on clearly defining the disease as well as indentifying the target population of patients who in the end benefits from the intervention. It is also crucial for the nursing leaders and managers to first come up with an evolution of universally accepted definitions of this disorder. This will act as a vital step supporting the medical community in the process of an effective sepsis management. They should be the presence of good interpersonal informal and formal relationship in possession of good skills in problem resolving.
In the context of leading by example philosophy, the nursing leaders and managers should provide the job guidance to the employees. This also means that the challenging tasks such as sepsis care bundle should be given to the employees in order to equip them with experience thus, stretching their ability, as well as bringing growth.
As a nursing leader, it is an obligation to inspire the people around to supervision. This is achievable once a leader does the job first before requesting others to undertake it. The fact in this case is that, once a leader gives in to his or her working team and shows them the way to work things out most likely they will follow. Good leadership will always take strength as a character as well as a firm commitment in doing the right thing. Therefore, once a team that a certain leader is leading loses trust in him or her, it will be not possible to lead them to greatness. In this case, sepsis care bundle is a critical area in the health environment, but once the nursing leaders and managers fail to lead by example the medical expert teams they lead will lose trust in them and fail in their objectives.
