Why Study Families?

Rowe (2018, chapter 3, page 54) states, “If there is one ‘mantra’ about family life in the last half century, it is that the family has undergone tremendous change. “

Family nursing comprises a philosophy and a way of interacting with clients that affects how nurses collect information, intervene with patients, advocate for patients, and approach spiritual care with families.

This philosophy and practice incorporates the following assumptions:

  • Health affects all members of families
  • Health and illness are family events
  • Families influence the process and outcome of health care
  • All health care practices, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and decisions are made within the context of larger family and societal systems

For this final paper, you will be reviewing and reflecting on the quality management concepts and knowledge gained throughout the course. You will be applying your critical thinking, drawing your own conclusions, and applying what you have learned to improve quality and performance excellence. Follow the prompts below and make sure to address each in sufficient depth to answer the questions and cover the associated concepts.

  • Identify which of the variety of methods, or “listening posts,” your selected organization uses to gather the voice of the customer, including their needs and expectations, their feeling of importance, and their satisfaction as a customer.
  • Evaluate the principles of workforce engagement, and empowerment and motivation, and evaluate why these two items are important to quality, and which five of Deming’s 14 points relate directly to the notion of empowerment.
  • Apply one content theory, one process theory, and one environmentally-based theory to your selected organization, detailing the context and situation.
  • State if the selected organization has a high-performance work culture and describe why or why not.
  • Summarize how your selected organization embodies the Baldrige Award Excellence Framework, core values, and processes.
