Shared Governance Model for SLMC

There has been emergence of distinct configurations of models of practice within healthcare systems. Shared governance model has proven to be highly productive in enhancing team nursing, accountability systems, managed care, decision making and participation (Nelson et al., 2016). The shared governance model is desirable following its ability to allow for the integration of the core values and beliefs embraced by the professional practice as an agency for achievement of quality care. Taking this into account, this paper seeks to discuss shared governance model for SLMC, the key concepts of the model, empirical evidence supporting the project and provides examples demonstrating the implications of the shared-governance model to nursing.

Equity entails equal focus on patient, services and staff for safe and effective care provision where each member owns equal responsibility in the quality of care and patient outcomes. All members’ roles are equally crucial as each member’s skills and knowledge are integrated to deliver quality care to patients in the most effective and efficient approach.

Ownership means that an organization’s productivity is dictated by the degree of each team member’s job performance. According to Goodman et al. (2015), the ability of nurses to exhibit attention to detail and pride in their performance is an indicator of ownership. Further, ownership entails taking responsibility for actions and outcomes regardless whether good or not. Through ownership, individual’s objectives become team objectives as the team succeeds through skillful participation and integration of each individual’s effort.

Accountability means the members’ explicit comprehension of roles and responsibilities,… Please click the Paypal icon below to purchase full solution for only $10
