This book was released on 2018 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This doctoral research set out to explore and better understand the competency requirements of the management and leadership workforce of New Zealand Primary Health Organisations. It also aimed to contribute to an understanding of the training and professional development strategies required to improve health management and leadership competencies, and the effects of such training on competence. A mixed-methods research design, consisting of qualitative and quantitative approaches and involving both empirical research and secondary data studies, was employed in the conduct of the doctoral research. Using a mixed-methods systematic review, the strength of evidence of the relationship between health management and leadership competence and training or professional development strategies was evaluated. A document analysis was conducted to describe the dynamics of the New Zealand primary health care system and the implications for management and leadership competencies. Informed by the outcomes of the systematic review related to training or professional development opportunities to support competencies, two surveys were conducted to confirm the core competencies of health managers and leaders in New Zealand Primary Health Organisations, and to identify training or professional development strategies to improve competence. Using semi-structured interviews, the perspectives of expert informants were explored on the future directions of primary health care in New Zealand and the implications for management and leadership competencies. Seven competencies were identified as core to the current and future roles of health managers and leaders in New Zealand Primary Health Organisations. These were: communication and relationship management; change management; knowledge of the health care environment; leadership; management skills and knowledge; evaluation and analytical skills to inform decision making; and professionalism. Other findings from the research indicated that certain training or professional development strategies were associated with improvement in competence and individual performance, especially in the medium to short term. There was, however, insufficient evidence linking improvement in competence and individual performance to improved organisational performance. One strategy associated with improvement in competence was leadership development programme, a generic term encompassing both formal and informal training activities, including mentoring and coaching, in its delivery. Findings from this doctoral research have provided a deeper understanding of the competencies required by the management and leadership personnel of New Zealand Primary Health Organisations. By systematically evaluating the relationship between competence and training or professional development strategies, the present research has advanced previous studies identifying and assessing health management and leadership competencies, thereby allowing a more comprehensive picture to emerge. In addition, findings from this doctoral research have demonstrated the need for future research to focus on the systemic effects of competency improvement of the health management and leadership workforce, assessed through organisational performance.

Book excerpt: Maori mental health workforce development is a high priority area for the mental health sector in New Zealand.

This report, undertaken by Moko Business Associates for Te Rau Matatini, reviews relevant literature pertaining to clinical career pathways and associated core competencies for nursing in New Zealand. The review identifies and analyses existing clinical career pathways (CCPs) for nurses and mental health workers in New Zealand, paying particular attention to the content, structure, strengths, criticisms and applicability to the development of a CCP for Maori registered nurses to work in Maori mental health (NGO organisations).
Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Download or read book Clinical Leadership Development written by John Edmonstone and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2005-02-04 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been stimulated by the author's continuing work as a programme tutor on the national Medical Leadership development programmes run through the Centre for Health Planning & Management at the University of Keele, together with three years part-time working with the Centre for the Development of Healthcare Policy & Practice at the University of Leeds. The experience of working with colleagues in these settings, together with his own consultancy work, has convinced the author of the centrality of clinical leadership to the success of health care organisations - and therefore also of the need to develop that leadership. While aware that much excellent work was going on, it was also clear that this emerging good practice needed to be brought together into a single publication which captured the innovation and challenge in as comprehensive a way as possible. This book is for leaders at all levels in the NHS, spanning board and executive levels to directorate, network and front line leadership roles. It is also of value to those involved in leadership development, education and research.
