Study Notes

Leadership vs. Management

  • Leadership is influencing, motivating, and enabling others to contribute to organizational success.
  • Leadership focuses on leading people, achieving goals, and creatively solving problems. Leaders use charisma and commitment to excite and motivate others.
  • Management is managing work, focusing on results, and creating strategies, policies, and methods to operate smoothly. Managers empower people by considering their views and principles.

Leadership vs. Management (continued)

  • Leadership styles include: facilitative, transformational, and consultative.
  • Management styles include: involved, dictatorial, authoritative, transactional, autocratic, consultative, and democratic.

Leadership Theories

  • Path-goal theory involves leadership styles (directive, supportive, participative, achievement-oriented) that match the task characteristics and obstacles faced by followers.

Situational Leadership

  • Leadership styles should vary based on the subordinate's maturity level.

Transformational Leadership

  • Characteristics of a transformational leader include vision, authenticity, growth mindset.
  • Transformational leaders influence followers in four key ways: vision, authenticity, integrity, and growth mindset.

Authoritarian/Autocratic Leadership

  • The leader tells employees what they want done and how they want it done.
  • This style is appropriate when the leader has all the information, time is short, and employees are motivated.

Democratic Leadership

  • Leaders maintain less control and use economic and ego rewards to motivate.
  • Decision-making involves others (input from followers).
  • Communication flows upward and downward.

Laissez-Faire Leadership

  • Leaders are permissive with little to no control. Motivation comes from supporting group members or individuals.
  • Decision-making is dispersed throughout the group.

Decision-Making for Effective Leadership

  • Successful leaders have the ability to make good, consistent decisions.
  • The best thing to do in any decision situation is the right thing; the next best thing is to make the next right decision. The worst thing is to do nothing.

Research and Evidence-based practice (EBP)

  • Research is essential for explaining events and solving problems, providing recommendations for improved programs.
  • Evidence-based practice (EBP) integrates the best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient needs.

Levels of Evidence

  • Levels of evidence demonstrate the quality of available evidence.
  • The pyramid shape shows the level of evidence from the bottom (e.g., case reports, etc.) to the top (e.g., systematic reviews and meta-analysis.)

Patient Values/Preferences/Expectations

  • Understanding patient preferences, values, and expectations is essential.
  • Patients' preferences and knowledge influence care experiences.
  • Patients should be asked what they want and are willing to do.

Importance of Research & Evidence-Based Practice in Healthcare

  • Research leads to improved patient care and outcomes.
  • Evidence-based practice promotes an attitude of inquiry that guides approaches and effective ways of doing things.
  • Examples of evidence-based approaches include oxygen therapy for COPD patients, daily bathing with chlorhexidine gluconate, and mindfulness-based stress reduction for nurses.

Implementing Evidence-Based Practice in Infection Control

  • Evidence-based practices are vital for providing effective health care.

Health Informatics

  • Health informatics is a field that applies information science, computing,networking, and communications to support health care. It supports health-related disciplines like medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and dentistry.

Key Elements of Health Informatics

  • Storage and Retrieval: data entry, storage, and retrieval methods.
  • Communication: data exchange between different systems, locations, and users.
  • Manipulation: Combining and consolidating data for analysis and reporting.
  • Display: Clear and understandable presentation is essential.

Areas of Interest in Health Informatics

  • Communication systems
  • Modeling and classification systems
  • Healthcare information systems
  • Electronic health records
  • Decision support systems
  • Knowledge-based systems.

Health Informatics as an Interdisciplinary Field

  • Health informatics is an interdisciplinary field where information, ICT, and cognitive knowledge combine to optimize healthcare delivery and support medical research.

Most Useful Robots in Healthcare

  • Robots are deployed for surgical precision, blood drawing/disinfection, robotic assistance, exoskeletons, supply chain support, and other tasks.
