Explain The Six Standards Of The Executive Summary
The six standards in the executive summary are skilled communication, true collaboration, effective decision making, appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, and authentic leadership.
Skilled communication: The ability to convey information to another effectively and efficiently. Nurses with good verbal, nonverbal and written communication skills help facilitate the sharing of information between their colleagues and patients. True collaboration: Collaboration is a joint effort between two or more people, free from hidden agendas, to produce an output in response to a common goal. However, Collaboration works best when relationships are treated as genuine partnerships.
Effective decision making: When trying to make a good decision,
a person must weigh the positives and negatives of each option, and consider all the alternatives. Also, a person must be able to predict the outcome of each option as well, and based on all these items, determine the best option for the situation.
Appropriate staffing: This means ensuring that suitable nurse-patient ratio is available to ensure patients’ safety and comfort and in line with organizations’ policies.
Meaningful recognition: This helps nurses to build their confidence and also it impacts on the organization positively. Nurses must be acknowledged and they should also acknowledge other persons values in order to create an enabling environment.
Authentic leadership: A leader must be honest and empathetic, and genuine. A nurse leader role model all the other standards; skilled communication, true collaboration, effective decision making, appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition. In addition, they sustain a health work environment.
I would say that the easiest to implement is skilled communication because it involves self-awareness which can be controlled easily by the individual. The most difficult to implement is appropriate staffing because an organization does not have much control over staff turnover. Even when they provide suitable staffing, there might be some staff about to quit their jobs.
My clinical experiences have exposed me to all the standards in the executive summary and I know that skilled communication is paramount for me to achieve all other standards. I am optimistic that as I journey through my nursing career, I will continue to empower myself to become a seasoned nurse.
