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.
