Organizational or Patient Issues

The shortage of nurses is a dominant issue that is faced by hospitals worldwide. Nurses are the frontline employees of any healthcare system as they are the only responsible group of people encountering patients most of the time hence any organization needs to keep the frontline forces strong. The reasons behind the shortage of nurses are high turnover rates, low salaries, increased workload, and future career development (Haddad et al., 2022). These reasons result in nurses leaving bedside jobs which increases the workload of remaining nurses leading to stress, burnout, and job dissatisfaction.

Moreover, the shortage of nurses impacts negatively patients’ safety by increasing the risks of medical errors. Overburdened nurses are more likely to perform unintentional errors consequently leading to poor quality of care and patient dissatisfaction. In a nutshell, the shortage of nurses in hospitals is a crucial problem that affects both healthcare providers and patients and hence requires immediate interventions at the organizational level (Ghafoor et al., 2021).

Maple Grove Hospital is experiencing the same issue of nursing shortages thus this presentation is directive guidelines for the administration to address the issue and intervene immediately. This interdisciplinary plan proposal is based on a holistic approach that will help in addressing the nursing shortage by promoting collaboration among the stakeholders to result in better outcomes. In a nutshell, to improve the quality of care, ensure patients’ safety, and enhance job satisfaction among nurses, leadership must address the issue of shortage of nurses in the hospitals as it impacts the overall patient care as well as hospitals’ reputation (Ghafoor et al., 2021).

Additionally, the hospital may bear some of the potential consequences if these issues aren’t addressed immediately and appropriately. These consequences are further deterioration of health care, care quality and patients’ safety compromised, and job dissatisfaction among present nurses which results in an enhanced turnover rate and ultimately leads to a negative reputation of the hospital (Ghafoor et al., 2021). 

Interdisciplinary Team Approach

To address this organizational issue, all the stakeholders need to work as an interdisciplinary team so that effective solutions can be implemented through the exchange of expertise of every individual team member. This interdisciplinary team will consist of: 

• Bedside nurses: Nurses currently employed in Maple Grove Hospital will make sure that they work together and create a sociable environment with a shared aim- to improve patient outcomes. 
• Nurse managers/leaders: They are responsible to establish effective communication methods for example active conversation with the nursing staff. This method can result in augmented employee commitment to the profession and improved satisfaction levels (Walker & Hirsch, 2020). 
• Chief nursing officer (CNO): They need to identify the causes of nurses leaving Maple Grove Hospital and advocate with higher administration to implement specific plans. 
• Human Resources/Finance: HR of Maple Grove Hospital is responsible for hiring new nurses based on the data provided by the CNO and admin to predict the number of new hires required. This is done by actively collaborating with the finance department related to the budget. 
• Nursing school registrar: They are responsible to establish a service agreement with nursing students so that after graduation they are bonded to work for the organization for the years they have signed for.

Working together as a team will help in supporting individuals with the necessary knowledge that can be shared among various departments and collaborative communication can be built so that shared outcomes of improving quality of care and enhancing job satisfaction among nurses can be achieved (Kalogiannidis, 2020).
