NU 613 - Organizational & Sys Leadrshp

Institution:

University of South Alabama

Subject:

Nursing

Description:

The course provides a theoretical foundation to advancing leadership in the transformation of healthcare organization, healthcare systems and community-based care. The view of the current health care delivery system is broadened by an analysis of the forces that have shaped the system, including scientific discoveries, technological advances, genetics, social justice issues, and the development of health professions and institutions. Nursing knowledge is influenced by these multiple factors; thus, the course provides students with tools to lead others in meeting the many challenges the health care system brings. Collaboration, relationship building, credibility and modeling are integrated into practice modeling. Innovation and creative change models are analyzed as they relate to leadership competency and leadership skill sets. Emotional intelligence competencies relative to transformation leadership provide a model for analyzing leadership, change, and strategic planning within organizations and population/systems of care delivery. Changes in the roles of health care providers and consumers are assessed from economic, social, organizational, political, ethical, legal, and technological perspectives.
