The Aim of the reflection is to improve the facilities and services of the health care system.
Innovative and critical thinking has been focused on bringing improvement in the healthcare
practices of the public hospital. Nursing practices are the top priority for improving better
treatment for nurses. Mr. Taylor received very bad treatment in the hospital, and he had to wait
almost 11 hours for availing treatment. Both positive and negative indicators in the healthcare
system should be evaluated for understanding the current position of nursing practices. Better
nursing practices can provide a way out to the public hospital. With the implementation of
intervention approaches, the patient gets immediate treatment.
The patient in public hospitals has bad experiences, as the services of the hospital are not perfect
to provide necessary care to the patient. The injury of the patient could not be treated
immediately, as there was a lack of staffs in the hospital. The health care authority has been
insensitive to the cause of ill people. The person got injured due to falling from concrete, and this
fall has caused severe pain in the arm. After reaching the hospital, the patient had to tolerate a lot
of pain. Ugly experience of the hospital has given a bad impression. The patient has got angry
with the hospital authority. Mr. Taylor was feeling uncomfortable because of the illness.
Medication provided by the hospital staffs was not better for the prevention of this pain.
In my view, the nursing practices are helpful for bringing improvement in the care of the patient.
Healthcare authorities need to formulate effective laws and regulation for guiding the nurses in
the proper direction. Proper regulation would ensure that patients are given proper care. Training
facilities of nurses can be enhanced to increase the scope of nursing practices. As suggested by
(Oxelmark, Ulin, Chaboyer, Bucknall, & Ringdal, 2018). With the utilization of nursing training,
nurses would be able to manage the complicated situation of nurses. Ignorance of a healthcare
organization has very negative implications on Mr. Taylor. Better resource allocation could be
made for improving the present condition of the hospital. I think with better resource allocation,
the hospital authority would be able to arrange a sufficient number of nurses in the healthcare.
Values of nurses and other healthcare professionals influence the availability of services to the
nurses. I think lack of responsibility on the part of hospital authority is responsible for such poor
treatment of the patient. Mr. Taylor could have got better treatment if authority takes proper
steps for prevention of corruption. I can suggest that nurses training are the key to a successful
solution to critical problems in health care. In my view, nurses need to develop improved

communication power, and with the utilization of this communication power, nurses can interact
with patients. As recommended by Oxelmark et al., (2018), nurse-patient interaction is a vital
aspect of treatment. Increased interaction with patients helps nurses to understand the proper
mental and physical condition of nurses.
One of the inadequacies of a public health facility is the arrival of late treatment. Public hospital
delayed treatment of Mr. Taylor, and it has caused him to tolerate severe pain. The hospital
authority took almost 11 hours for providing treatment to Mr. Taylor. Lack of nursing training is
the reason for poor treatment. Self-care nursing theory can be considered better for eliminating
inadequacies of hospital authority (Lisy, Peters, Schofield, & Jefford, 2018). With the
implementation of the principal of the theory, proper guidelines are helpful nurses. This theory
focuses on improvement of knowledge among nurses. The nursing system can be changed
dramatically by implementing the theoretical framework. The nursing relationship could be
improved by bringing proper care in nursing practices. A proper communication channel needs
to be developed for building a healthy relationship with the nurses and the patient. Specific
culture of healthcare can be helpful for evaluating the proper condition of the hospital (Newell &
Jordan, 2015). The leadership of health care needs to take positive measures for the introduction
of innovative ideas in healthcare. Initiation of nursing practices can be helpful for correcting
cultural values.
Behavior staffs in the public healthcare organization can be considered as a positive aspect of the
organization. Five nursing principles such as proficient, novice, expert, advanced beginners,
proficient and competencies are required for improving nursing practices. Implementation of
sufficient nursing practices could be essential to the management of the public healthcare system.
Culture care theory can be required for bringing improvement in patient care (Biblow &
Toomey, 2018). Transcultural nursing practices can be utilized for providing a better outcome of
services provided by the hospital. Cultural theory is further helpful for evaluation of cultural
differences. To evaluate the dimension of the cultural dimension, it gets essential to incorporate
economic factors. This theory is further helpful for maintenance and preservation of goods
cultural practices in the healthcare environment.
Performance indicator and client feedback are two negative indicators of this healthcare facility.
Performance indicator deals with the management of critical situation in the health care. On the
other hand, client feedback of the healthcare institution is very poor. Management of this public

hospital needs to be serious about the implementation of proper initiatives (Miller, Hamza,
Metersky, & Gaffney, 2018). Client indicator is massively used for the understanding the
mentality of the client towards the healthcare organization. Based on feedback from the patient,
hospital authority can take appropriate action. Nursing intervention strategies need to be aligned
with both performance and client feedback indicator, as the alignment can be helpful for
evaluating the system in a proper way. Proper attention to nursing jobs can be provided to bring
improvement in the approaches to nursing. The evidenced-based system enhances the scope of
effective nursing practices. According to Edvardsson, Watt & Pearce (2017), views of nursing
staffs need to be taken to bringing improvement in nursing practices. The management can
initiate a proper feedback system to evaluate performance.
The positive indicator of the public healthcare system includes employee safety and, operational
efficiency. As suggested by Poleshuck & Woods (2014), the safety of the patient should be given
priority by the hospital authority. A proper mechanism ensures the safety of the patient in a
proper way. Significant challenges in the healthcare organization can be countered by
recognition of complexity in the healthcare system. Theory of complexity leadership helps in the
utilization of improvement in performance of nurses. Safety of employee significantly depends
on nurses and doctors. Nurses with better care can make sure that patients are safe. Training to
nurses can be essential to offer safety to the patients (Hibbard, Greene, Sacks, & Overton,
2015). Operational efficiency is another vital aspect of the healthcare organization, and it
requires an exploration of complexity thinking.
It is very crucial to evaluate the inadequacies of public health care. After proper evaluation, the
hospital authority can take proper action. To evaluate the present situation in the hospital,
concerned authority in the hospital can consult with the patient, nurses and other staffs
(Hardyman, Daunt & Kitchener, 2015). Satisfaction or dissatisfaction level of nurses can be
helpful for determination every problem in healthcare. Sufficient evaluation of the healthcare
system can reveal that the health care system could be improved by the implementation of
appropriate measures. Implementation of innovative methods could be essential for bringing
improvement in resource allocation. According to (Trujillo, Fernandez, Ghafoori, Lok, &
Valencia, 2017). The survey result can deliver a better assessment of the healthcare system. Care
of Mr. Taylor can be implemented by a perfect healthcare system. To provide immediate care to
patients, it is essential to evaluate the technological aspects. Critical thinking integration can be

crucial for speeding up the process of innovation.
Finally, it can be argued that the management needs to change its mindset towards patients. The
priority of the healthcare organization needs to be on improvement in nursing practices. Proper
training to nurses can be beneficial for improving nursing practices. It is vital to ensure that a
proper mechanism improves the condition of the public hospital. A patient such as Mr. Taylor
can get the facility of immediate treatment if sufficient measures are taken. Integration of
innovative measures can be required for improving services to the patients. Evidence-based
practices and intervention approaches can be made for bringing improvement in nursing
practices. Existing environment helps in improving and influencing nursing plan.
