Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.
Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.
In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white document to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.
To Prepare:
- Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
- Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
- Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.

In recent years, nurse shortage has been a major crisis facing the globe. This has mainly been more evident as the world continues to combat the COVID 19 pandemic. The country has faced a significant challenge due to the increasing healthcare demand and the number of nurses and physicians available for responding adequately to combating the pandemic (Seren et al.,2019). This challenge of inadequate physicians, nurses, and doctors for serving the communities is expected to worsen as the country’s population increases and ages.
Nursing shortages are said to be the primary cause of medical errors and the increased illness and death rates. In most healthcare facilities with high patient-to-nurse ratios, nurses experience exhaustion and discontent, leading to higher patient mortality and failure-to-rescue rates than facilities with lower patient-to-nurse ratios (Marć et al., 2019). The leading cause of nurse shortage is the high number of nurses entering the retirement age, an aging population requiring more medical care, and the faculty shortages limiting the capacity of nursing schools to admit more students.
My health system working setting have responded to issue of nurse shortage by increasing nurse salaries as the current nurses are most dissatisfied with their salaries. Therefore, increasing salaries and bonuses can help rectify this problem and motivate more students to pursue the nursing profession. Equally, health facilities have opted for seasonal employment of temporary nurses during periods with high hospital admittances. Generally, people do not get sick at the rate throughout the year. Depending on the season, hiring nurses can help reduce the patient care waiting period and resolve the issue.
Additionally, nurse education should be restructured and made more accessible and convenient by giving students the option of enrolling in online and distance learning programs. This option can enable individuals who would have else rejected the profession to reconsider enrolling in the program. Online and distance learning helps attract members of other careers to achieve nursing qualifications. The alternative is more attractive for those nurses who are not comfortable with the conservative teaching techniques presently used by nurse instructors.

PANDEMIC. THIS CHALLENGE OF INADEQUATE PHYSICIANS, NURSES, AND
DOCTORS FOR SERVING THE COMMUNITIES IS EXPECTED TO WORSEN AS
THE COUNTRY’S POPULATION INCREASES AND AGES. NURSING
SHORTAGES ARE SAID TO BE THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF MEDICAL ERRORS
AND THE INCREASED ILLNESS AND DEATH RATES. THE LEADING CAUSE OF
NURSE SHORTAGE IS THE HIGH NUMBER OF NURSES ENTERING THE
RETIREMENT AGE, AN AGING POPULATION REQUIRING MORE MEDICAL
CARE, AND THE FACULTY SHORTAGES LIMITING THE CAPACITY OF
NURSING SCHOOLS TO ADMIT MORE STUDENTS.
Impact of Nursing Shortages in an Organization In 2014, a study was conducted in American
hospitals in regard to nursing shortage. They found that a rise in nurses; workload by one
patient maximized the possibility of dying in 30 days of admission by 7%. The researchers as
well found out that each 10% rise in bachelor’s degree nurses was related to a drop in patient
mortality by 7% (Haddad, Annamaraju, & Toney-Butler, 2020). 4 INSUFFICIENT
NURSE STAFFING IS AS WELL ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH PATIENT
MORTALITY RATES. In facilities with limited number of nurses, the mortality risk for
patient tends to be about 6% more on units which were understaffed in comparison to the
well-staffed u
