How to Create a Sustainable Healthcare System

Question 1

From the case study, one realizes that the dynamics involved in the team was lack of clarity and disagreement in implementing the changes proposed. The nurse who had attended continuing education programs should have engaged the entire team in consultation. Similarly, she should have allowed the other staff members to give their suggestions before recommending the preventive system. The disagreement was another dynamic involving the team. During the meeting to discuss issues related to failure in updating preventing services, some doctors attended the meeting late, whereas others left before it was adjourned (Julie & Sollecito, 2018) . The most authoritative person was the physician who proposed the implementation of prevention because her proposal was not debated in the initial stages. The ineffectiveness of Greenwood Family Medicine resulted from failure to engage all stakeholders concerning the new medical system. For instance, the medical records department was not included to react to the proposed system. To avoid confusion and enhance better collaboration, the team should have involved all expertise involved in the preventive services problem. Notably, the firm should have considered including the clinical leader, technical expertise, subject matter expert, and project sponsor.

Question 2

Employment background, working experience, and advanced education can contribute positively to health care through the development of effective interaction patterns, communication networks, and team leadership. Staff with the qualities above, in most cases, is diligent in decision-making and encourages team leadership. On the contrary, staff with the elements mentioned above can contribute negatively to team dynamics. Notably, due to advanced education and long-term working experience, the staff in such categories may fail to indulge in team leadership ( Sittig & Singh, 2015 ) . Such staff might decide to work independently because of having adequate expertise and experience. Consequently, it can lead to the failure of such staff to recognize junior and informal workers. The challenge leads to poor team dynamics.

Question 3

If well implemented by applying desired protocols, health-related resources, and competencies lead to the maximization of healthcare value. One of the essential resources in health care is the science of innovation. It results in diligence on services provided, an essential factor in achieving improvement. Health care is complex, and therefore, implementing reinvention services helps in offering better services hence influencing particular health care to acquire the status of competitive advantage against other organizations. Secondly, utilizing competencies from intellectual capital in the workforce encourages the development of staff who can apply insight and knowledge in a firm's processes ( Goh & Marimuthu, 2016 ) . Employing professionals improves on the recognition of an entity because of quality delivery on their duties. Professionals make decisions that are patient-centered by proposing technology to be utilized and services required. The process improves quality health and efficiency, essential factors in maximization of value. Lastly, motivation resource also plays an integral role in healthcare. Extrinsic and intrinsic motivation contributes to the enthusiasm and sustained interest in continuous quality improvement in health care.

Question 4

The physician should define quality in which one intends to promote based on enterprise-wide effort. The physician should consider providing services that involve active participation from physicians and patients. The mechanism leads to the creation of various interactions from individuals with independent knowledge, willingness, and skills ( Woods et al., 2016) . The process can be distinguished from that of competitors by encouraging the development of a design and visualization that reflects professionals' and patients' efforts. The distinction of patients and prospective patients can be achieved through customization of responses to particular needs. The quality of the group can be done through the measurement of the outcome of services rendered. The strategy aims to understand the effectiveness of selected service, and opening up new approaches and designs can be utilized for continuous improvement. Its effectiveness can be obtained by collecting exact data from professionals and patients regarding service implemented.
