Competing needs arise within any organization as employees seek to meet their targets and leaders
seek to meet company goals. As a leader, successful management of these goals requires establishing
priorities and allocating resources accordingly.
Within a healthcare setting, the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients are often in conflict.
Mandatory overtime, implementation of staffing ratios, use of unlicensed assisting personnel, and
employer reductions of education benefits are examples of practices that might lead to conflicting needs
in practice.
Leaders can contribute to both the problem and the solution through policies, action, and inaction. In this
Assignment, you will further develop the white paper you began work on in Module 1 by addressing
competing needs within your organization.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Evidenced-based practice in healthcare utilizes the current best and most relevant research, clinical experience, and patient/family valued preferences to deliver healthcare that not only improves patient experiences, but also provides better quality care for the patient and empowers clinicians, which leads to increased job satisfaction (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023). While research clearly shows the benefits of evidence-based practice, there are a multitude of barriers that stand in the way of it becoming the standard of care such as: the lack of knowledge pertaining to evidence-based practice, lack of belief that this will result in more positive outcomes, overwhelming patient loads, and resistance to change just to name a few. Overcoming these barriers is necessary to move from practices based on outdated research in order to be able to provide better and safer healthcare.
Utilizing evidenced-based practice within the scope of my nursing license promotes lifelong learning and continuously improved nursing practice. My hospital has recently implemented bedside shift report for nurses, which has been shown to improve patient satisfaction and safety. Bedside shift report allows me to visualize both the patient and the surroundings in addition to communicating the plan of care to the patient. Initially, there was much resistance to changing the process of our shift report. Some nurses reported overwhelming patient loads (e.g. “I have to give report to 4 different nurses”) as a reason for which they struggled to do bedside report. After much encouragement from peers and leaders, the transition to bedside shift report has improved nursing accountability and teamwork. Visualizing all of my patients first thing in the morning allows me to ensure accuracy of the report and prioritize care.

Step 3 Save and submit your assignment.
Using what you learned in Modules 1-3 up to this point, discuss 3 key elements you think should be a part of US Healthcare reform. Since we do not know at this point whether the ACA will remain or will be repealed and replaced, what are 3 key elements that should remain or be introduced into US healthcare reform legislation?
For example, children up to the age of 26 being able to remain on their parent’s health insurance or mandates that everyone have healthcare. These are only examples, feel free to discuss any key elements from the readings or your own research. This assignment should be a maximum of 2 paragraphs in length and should be your own original thought. Please cite any sources you used in a standard format (e.g. APA or MLA). Purdue’s Online Writing Lab (OWL) can help with cited and writing. You can find OWL at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/ . The rest of your submission should be 2 paragraphs (no more then 5 sentences in a paragraph!) on the 3 key elements you chose that should remain or be introduced as discussed above. Remember do not simply state your opinion; explain your rationale for your opinion. Be sure to write properly for an academic audience (review syllabus guidelines).

Submission reflects college level writing. Clear effort is made with sentence structure, word choice, grammar and punctuation. (4pts)

Social Movements are only as important as the person leading them. The person(s) leading a social movement must have charisma and be able to captivate an audience. Political scientists and historians are taught to analyze body language, especially during debates and speeches.
For this assignment, you will watch Dr Martin Luther King's
I Have a Dream
speech and a
speech by Alicia Garza of the Black Lives Matter movement
and answer questions listed below. Pay special attention to the following aspects in the two speeches.
· Importance of body language while delivering the speech.
· Gestures, cadence and delivery style.
Answer the following:
1. Provide a summary of the two speeches.
2. Compare Dr. King's leadership, charisma, power and passion to capture his audience to Alicia Garza's speech. What are the similarities, if any? What are the differences, if any?
3. How does the location of the speeches support their messaging? Dr. King's speech was held in a church and at the Lincoln Memorial, whereas today we have social networking and more avenues to relay messages. Does messaging make a difference?
