I’m working on a business discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn. What strategies can organizations implement to foster a culture of  innovation and continuous improvement among their employees, and how  does such a culture contribute to long-term success and competitiveness  in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape? 

Imagine that you are working at the front desk of a professional medical office. Part of your job is to greet each patient and help them feel welcome. A patient comes in and you smile and offer a greeting, but she does not respond. Instead, she sits down in the corner and starts talking loudly to herself. It seems like she is listing ingredients in her favorite recipe as she says “sugar, flour, eggs, sugar, sugar, eggs…” This is unusual behavior—in fact as you previously learned, it may even be considered deviant since it is not what most people do when they come into a medical office. You wonder whether she has a lot on her mind, or if she may just be weird or rude. A few minutes later, the patient’s mother comes in, approaches you at the front desk, and begins to fill out the paperwork for her daughter. She tells you that her daughter has a disability which is why her behaviors are different than the behaviors of other patients.  2. Initial Post: Create a new thread and answer all three parts of the initial prompt below Based on what you learned in the readings this week, explain how attitudes toward mental illness have changed over time. Reflect on the term medicalization. Explain how your perception of the situation changed when you found out about the patient’s disability. Discuss ways that employment, poverty, and disability may be related.

Introduction
As a current or future nurse leader, you may be called upon to present to stakeholders and leadership about projects that you have been involved in or wish to implement. Describe ways to incorporate evidence-based practice within an interdisciplinary teaThe ability to communicate a plan—and potential implications of not pursuing such a plan—to stakeholders effectively can be critically important in creating awareness and buy-in, as well as building your personal and professional brand in your organization. It is equally important that you know how to create compelling presentations for others’ delivery and ensure that they convey the same content you would deliver if you were the presenter.
You are encouraged to complete the Evidence-Based Practice: Basics and Guidelines activity before you develop the presentation. This activity consists of six questions that will create the opportunity to check your understanding of the fundamentals of evidence-based practice as well as ways to identify EBP in practice. The information gained from completing this formative will help promote success in the Stakeholder Presentation and demonstrate courseroom engagement—it requires just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
Demonstration of Proficiency

Competency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational health.

Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial resources would be managed.

Professional Context
This assessment will provide you with an opportunity to sharpen your ability to create a professional presentation to stakeholders. In this presentation, you will explain the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle and how it can be used to introduce the plan (P), implement the plan (D), study the effectiveness of the plan (S), and act on what is learned (A) to drive continuous improvement. By using this cycle, the stakeholders will have a tool and a proposal to expand on these ideas to drive workplace change and create improved processes to solve an interprofessional collaboration problem.
Scenario
In addition to summarizing the key points of Assessments 2 and 3, you will provide stakeholders and/or leadership with an overview of project specifics as well as how success would be evaluated—you will essentially be presenting a discussion of the Plan, Do, and Study parts of the PDSA cycle. Again, you will not be expected to execute the project, so you will not have any results to study. However, by carefully examining the ways in which your plan could be carried out and evaluated, you will get some of the experience of the thinking required for PDSA.
When creating your PowerPoint for this assessment, it is important to keep in mind the target audience: your interviewee’s organizational leadership. The overall goal of this assessment is to create a presentation that your interviewee could potentially give in his or her organization.
Instructions
Please follow the Capella Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX]. If you need technical information on using PowerPoint, refer to Capella University Library: PowerPoint Presentations.
Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement goal.
Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to address an organizational or patient issue.
Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial resources would be managed.
Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to evaluate the degree to which the project was successful in achieving the improvement goal.
Communicate the PowerPoint presentation of the interdisciplinary improvement plan to stakeholders in a professional manner, with writing that is clear, logically organized, and respectful with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.

There are various ways to structure your presentation; following is one example:

Part 1: Organizational or Patient Issue.

What is the issue that you are trying to solve or improve?
Why should the audience care about solving it?

Part 2: Relevance of an Interdisciplinary Team Approach.

Why is using an interdisciplinary team relevant, or the best approach, to addressing the issue?
How will it help to achieve improved outcomes or reach a goal?

Part 3: Interdisciplinary Plan Summary.

What is the objective?
How likely is it to work?
What will the interdisciplinary team do?

Part 4: Implementation and Resource Management.

How could the plan be implemented to ensure effective use of resources?
How could the plan be managed to ensure that resources were not wasted?
How does the plan justify the resource expenditure?

Part 5: Evaluation.

What would a successful outcome of the project look like?
What are the criteria that could be used to measure that success?

How could this be used to show the degree of success?

Again, keep in mind that your audience for this presentation is a specific group (or groups) at your interviewee’s organization and tailor your language and messaging accordingly. Remember, also, that another person will ultimately be giving the presentation. Include thorough speaker’s notes that flesh out the bullet points on each slide.

Hello Professor and class, 
Ethical guidelines ensure patients are safe from harm. Having someone prescribe a medication who is not properly educated on the possible side effects, directions, doses, drug interactions and many other implications is considered unethical. A huge component of prescribing ethically includes examining the patients’ needs for the current situation in which they are seeking medical help for which was not done in this case study (Duquesne University, 2020). There is also a legal implication due to providers having the responsibility to make informed medical decisions before prescribing medications due to potential side effects, drug interactions etc. If the doctor prescribes the wrong medication, inappropriate dosages, or misinforms about the possible side effects they could be held liable (Harris, 2020). This will clearly affect everyone including the practice. Practicing without a license will presume this care was negligent. If this individual was injured this could justify punitive damages. If this was ruled in favor of, compensation for the harm would be involved as well as additional penalties for “deceiving the victim” (Suszek, 2023). This would cost the practice in fines as well as diminish their reputation. A medical director is in charge of running the facility, implementing regulations, budgets and many other things. This problem will quickly become their problem when trying to sort out this situation. As for the medical assistant, I am going to discuss the punishment where I live because it can vary depending on state. In Florida this medical assistant is practicing without a license and as a first-time offense this would usually be a first-degree misdemeanor. The penalties for this can include up to one year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines (The Law Place, n.d.).
I clearly do not think this medical assistant was trying to be malicious by her actions. However, she is probably not aware of the implications behind these actions and needs to be educated about what can happen if she does not follow her scope of practice. Therefore, to ensure this does not happen again, everyone needs to be educated about their roles. This is not just directed to medical assistants, but others could be informed how to best utilize them in their practice. It was stated in the case study that this was a busy primary care practice, and management should work to improve the stressful conditions for these workers. They have a lot of different roles and should have the efficient help to get their tasks done but understand exactly what they can and cannot do (Family Medicine, 2022). I also believe something in the computer system would have to be changed. It should not be that easy for someone without the proper education to put in a prescription. I think everyone needs a pin number or password to put in medications for patients.
A leadership quality I would apply is setting ethical standards. Healthcare lacking ethics can have extremely harmful effects on patients lives. Leaders that have built a reputation around integrity can set ethical standards for their team members and influence them to do the same. Another positive change would be having accountability. We all will make mistakes and being accountable for your actions will be favorable for your team. Lastly, applying mentorship is very important, in this circumstance there were many nurse practitioners, and providers that would all be very good leaders. Mentors are able to assess and support others to acquire the necessary skills to exceed in their role (DeVry University, 2022).
