Issues Currently Affecting My Organization

Understaffing
Based on suggested finding by the American Nursing Association (ANA) a major contribution factor towards a safe and healthy work environment in nursing practice is the staffing patterns of the organization, it is imperative that qualified nurses are well staffed based on the acuity and needs of the patients (Marshall, E., & Broome, M. 2017).

Detrimental effects of under staffing nurses include,

Low productivity
Burnout and stress
A reduction in staff retention rates
Organizational culture incivility
Poor patient outcomes and satisfaction

An assessment of our organization’s workplace using the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory revealed that we have a mildly healthy workplace with a score of 73. The major issues currently affecting my organization is inadequate staffing and sufficient resources for safety and productivity.

Employees primarily, health professionals have complained that the organization’s management does not provide them with opportunities for growth and development in their career. As a result, most of the staff feel that they have stagnated in their careers and have not attained their short-term and long-term professional goals. Unlike other health care organizations, our organization has put minimal effort into helping its employees: pursue advanced certifications relative to their clinical practice area and seek advancement opportunities.

For instance, employees providing health services to patients with NCDs such as Diabetes, HTN, cancers, and diseases such as HIV/AIDs are rarely provided with continuous education on the new diagnosis and treatment guidelines. Consequently, they are not well-versed with new guidelines of treatment and treat patients using outdated protocols.

The organization HR has not prioritized continuing education and advanced learning opportunities for physicians and nurses, which is key to quality improvement and patient safety initiatives. As a result, employees complain that they have difficulties remaining focused on their career path.
