Leadership & Clinical Governance - Nursing_2
INTRODUCTIONLeadership is an action which is attained by the leader to give, direct and lead the teammembers. The concept of leadership is required in each and every field for the successfulcompany operations. On another hand, clinical operations are the method which helps theorganisations like NHS to enhance their services for the maintenance of care standards. Whereas,the concept of clinical governance is initiated with a motive to develop the mechanism so that thepatients can get improved quality services (Brennan and Flynn, 2013). However, the statedconcept requires effective leadership for the implementation of the requisite changes andalterations. It will allow the health care organisations to get a clear vision concerning all thelevels. The present document is based on the case study of deceased person name ChristopherHammett. He died due to certain errors raised from the part of medical and nursing care. As aresult, this report will consider the same case and explain the role of the nurse as a leader in thehealthcare organisations.ULO1 Role of registered nurse as a leaderIn nursing care, the concept of leadership plays an essential role because the patients can getproper attainment with the help of nurses. The roles of the registered nurses as leaders may varyaccording to the structure and size of the firm. However, a registered nurse can perform his orher duties are equivalent to the competent manager and the leader. The registered nurse is neededto carry out the role related with visionary leadership (Porter-O'Grady and Malloch, 2011). Thisallows the nurse to manage the operations related to the different patients. In the case ofChristopher Hammett(CH), he consulted with an orthopaedic surgeon for back pain. Further, hishealth was good enough when he was admitted to the private hospital where the medical staff didnot find after the working hours. Initially, the oxygen saturation of the patient was maintained at99 percent. Further, he was transferred to PACU. This has resulted in lowering down thesaturation level of the oxygen. In context to above, the present anaesthetist assumed that due to reversible upper airwayobstruction, the level of oxygen saturation has tended to low. As a result, they supported his jawand inserted an oropharyngeal airway. The staff who was present there kept on changing theiroxygen mask. This has affected the saturation level of Mr CH which was not properly recordedby the staff. When the level was recorded, it was mentioned at the stable level. Here, the nurseassumed due to the use of morphine; the oxygen level is getting influenced. Therefore, being a1

registered nurse, it was their duty to properly analyse the condition of the patient instead ofassuming the things. This has resulted in the death of the stated patient (Bretschneider, Eckhardtand et.al., 2010).ULO2 Differentiate between leadership and managementLeadership and management are the two most crucial terms which are mainly used in theorganisations. The two concepts are quite distinct from each other but somewhere they areconnected collectively. However, leadership is the attribute of a leader by which the teammembers are get influenced to attain the assigned tasks and duties. On the contrary to this,management is the process by which the things are being managed in an effective manner. Thetwo terms are required and can be seen in all the fields like corporate, hospitality sports andmedical (Huber, 2013). Howsoever, the organisation like NHS and cancer research centres alsoadapts this concept in this working environment. In the health sector, leadership is used toinfluence the nurses and another staff for taking care of the patients. On another side,management is used for the management of several activities in the health care organisations. Additionally, at the time of influencing the nurses and another staff for accomplishing work, theleaders plays the essential role. The concepts of leadership assist the team to get influenced forthe achievement of organisational goals. Besides this, management brings stability in theoperations of an organisation. Therefore, it can be said that leadership and management are thetwo important tools which are required in the organisation. Both the concept plays an essentialrole in the attainment of the company objectives (McSHERRY, Pearce and et.al., 2012).ULO3 Role of nurse in improvement of quality and change managementNurses are the most important person in the hospital for the care of patients and their families.They evolve considerable information concerning the strength and weakness of the heath careorganisations. For the successful operations of the hospitals, it is crucial to bring improvementregarding quality. Nurses are the one who takes care of the patients and has the major focus onthe operations of the hospitals. For instance, they are responsible for the care of the patientseffectively (Weston, 2010). However, the top management adopts measures for theimprovements of quality are mainly followed by the lower staff. For example, If the higherauthority has implemented the software for the storage of patients data and information then it isthe duty of the nurses to make sure of the storage of patient data.2
