Clinical Leadership and Professional Relationship
Leadership is significant facet in the healthcare setting. Suitable nursing leadership skills
play a significant role in ensuring that timely, patient-centered, and high-quality medical services
are provided to the patients. As such, this paper endeavors to analyze the essence or significance
of proper leadership founded on a precise clinical scenario. The paper would as well corroborate
the prominence of adopting or employing a computerized medical system. A change plan would
be recommended based on the Lewin's model.
A fully electronic medication system is essential in a healthcare setting. Notably, in the
200-bed hospital, there have been numerous medical critical happenings. It is vital to note that
these critical incidences occur due to an increase in the negligible of medication errors.
Therefore, the fully computerized system is important to the healthcare organization. Its
implementation would play a critical role in the reduction of the minor medication errors or
mistakes. An excellent leadership should adopt a computerized system to help in the delivery of
high-quality care. Moreover, patients who receive enhanced health care refer others to the same
medical facility. Therefore, the leadership of the hospital is always appreciated or credited for
outstanding management skills by incorporating a computerized system into their healthcare
facilities. The management can also evaluate the effectiveness of their staffs' ability to adapt to
contemporary transformations (Griffin & Bossi, 2014). A computerized system is essential in
analyzing medical staffs' performance, therefore, conducts job appraisals.
Similarly, the new electronic system would improve the efficiency of the medical
practitioners particularly the midwives. It would enable data storage, maintenance, and easy
accessibility of medical information (Atique et al., 2016). The nurses and midwives will be able
to discharge their duties faster. Specifically, the medical professionals will take less time to

prescribe different medications according to patient needs. Midwives would also conduct
medication administration swiftly. They can achieve this through the use of a computer as
opposed to the manual system, for instance, the use of paper medication plans and charts which
are marred with errors.
Patients would get improved medical as a result of the computerized system. The nurses
of the 200-bed hospital will be motivated to work since they will able to deliver clinical services
more accurately. On account of the new system, it will trigger the attainment of zero or minimal
medical errors. Therefore, the fully computerized system is beneficial to nurses, the health
organization, and the patients.
Lewin's model involves three major steps which must be followed for the
accomplishment of an effective transformation. The steps include refreezing, changing and
unfreezing (Cummings, Bridgman & Brown, 2016). According to Manchester et al. (2014), the
model is practical and simple to understand thus efficient in expediting a change process. Based
on the model, the change process involves establishing the notion that a change is necessary, and
would involve establishing new behavior and finally making it a custom.
The initial phase of Lewin's model, unfreezing, encompasses preparing the organization
for the change or establishing a motivation to the change. In the provided scenario, adequate
awareness has to be done regarding the new computerized medication system. The awareness
should outline the benefits which the new computerized medication system will bring to the
organization. It would involve challenging the attitudes, values, behaviors and beliefs of the
health facility concerning the anticipated change (Spear, 2016). It is estimated that the process of
creating this transformation would take roughly one month. Consequently, organizing a weekly
meeting with midwives to explicitly clarify the essence of the change would be paramount. Data
