In this video, Bon Berwick, President of Emeritus and Senior Fellow at the Institute of Healthcare Improvement talks about the changes and the importance of leadership. In the last 25 years, the roles of leaderships have changed and expanded. Leadership is the main point of improvements. To improve healthcare, leaders can set in place the contact, support, encouragement, and vision that allows systems to improve. When the board goes to sleep or executive goes to sleep, the system goes to sleep as well. Board training, fellowship programs, and leadership development have been important in efforts to have a turnaround in the system and its leadership.…

The reality of the current healthcare system in the United States is that costs are rising to out-of-control levels, quality of care is increasingly deficient and millions of Americans are without access to care.

Leadership “is a process where an individual influences a group of people to achieve a common purpose” (Northhouse, 2010). Being a leader is one of the most important skills one is either born with or acquires through mentorship or experience. A transformational leader who acts as a role model can influence patients, staffs, and make them accountable for their own practice, work achievement and staff development (McNaron, 2009). As an inspiring young future DNP leader, my main focus will be patient compliance, satisfaction, and healthcare accessibility. The transformational leadership skills I will need to develop and use are motivation, inspiration, empowerment, and trust. These qualities involves working closely with other healthcare providers…
Throughout this section, I will be citing various sources that support my leadership vision. The key concepts of my vision are: a) Enhanced quality of care, compassionate “patient-first” service, b) dedication to healthcare literacy, and c) effectively changing the level of health awareness one patient at a time. Through these avenues, I believe that the level of co-morbidities seen in our patients can be significantly reduced. The vision will also help one to realize that the average citizen is not as proficient in health education as the allied professional.…
