The short term goals that have been discussed will help the long term goals prevail due to the fact that the short term goals help keep the nurses interests and needs of payment and increase of bonuses. Once the nurses throughout the clinic start receiving similar pay of other nurses in the area the nurse retention rate will hopefully start to increase. The long term goal is not possible without the short goals prevailing and being accomplished.

Strategic Goals Outcomes

The goals have already been discussed and mentioned before. The short term goals of this strategic plan is to work with the accounting and board to establish a plan involving bonuses and referral bonuses as well as decreasing the patient to nurse ratio by hiring more nurses. The long term goal being raising the nurse retention rate. Collaboration between the accounting department and the board will be needed to accomplish the first short term goal. And technology can help us with the second short term goal of hiring new nurses. Using online applications can help the process be faster and more efficient for the Director of Staff Development. Online applications can be easily stored, looked through, and traced. Technology can be a great asset with our goals as well. Conducting an online survey with our nurses can also help us see where our improvements can be made in order to raise retention rates. 

Leadership and Healthcare Theories

In order for our long term goal of nurse retention rate to be accomplished the leadership and leaders should be revised and taught what good leadership should be accepted of them as leaders. Leaders must be skilled to work together with their team, communicate with their team, empower, inspire, and create a healthy work environment (Carlow University, 2022). Modifications and significant changes must be made within the other departments in order to resemble the leadership style of the emergency departments which is the ideal model for this plan.

Transformational leadership style must be made throughout the clinic in order for the long term goal of raising the nursing retention of the clinic. “Transformational leadership is a leadership style in which leaders encourage, inspire and motivate employees to innovate and create change that will help grow and shape the future success of the company. This is accomplished by setting an example at the executive level through a strong sense of corporate culture, employee ownership and independence in the workplace. (Sarah K. White, 2018).” This is the type of leadership the ABC Health Clinic needs to establish in order for changes to be seen. Using this leadership style increases team work, collaboration, communication, and trust within the nurses and their leaders without needing the leader to micromanage the team and trusting them to get the job done but also be by the team’s side for advice and guidance. 

Conclusion

The nurse retention rate we have sampled from the ABC Health Clinic emergency department and have implemented into all departments of the clinic shows that nurses will stay with a department and facility if the incentives are there for them to receive. By establishing a plan and goals to increase nurse retention by increasing the nurse satisfaction was best for the clinic. Using the SWOT analysis we figured out their strength was their ED and their weakness was not being able to implement the same ideals of leadership, communication, and payment incentives throughout their departments. The community itself can trust the clinic, including the nursing staff, to stay and take care of their health care issues now that the facility has improved their nurse retention rate and their patient to nurse ratio which allows the patients to receive the best of care and for the nurses to be paid fairly for their work.
