Health facilities majorly depend on services provided by nurses. Thus, it is important to

process the strategy of nursing to confirm most nursing and healthcare services To enable this,

nurses are supposed to give the most efficient services in through using the unique capabilities

health care. A good nursing strategy directs nurses' services to improve the quality of healthcare

should have the required basics as regulated by the Healthcare Institute of Improvement: a group

of nursing strategic planners, the goals of medical unit, various areas of concern, recommended

amendments for department improvement.

Nursing team of strategy planning. Before noting down the actual plan, as well as its

directives and objectives, a group of expert representatives of various departments and

stakeholders is made up. The group includes experts accustomed to several healthcare facility

aspects and the processes concerned. It includes nurses’ managerial team, physicians,

administrators, pharmacists, forward operating nurses, and a team of IT technicians (Murray

2017). The clinical team members are then needed to effectively test the nursing strategy. The

leaders and technical team ought to understand the day to day activities carried out by the nurses

and, so, should come up with the tools to be effectively used by nurses.

the facility’s services and update the regulations of the facility's in cases problems. The

subsequent to be followed is determining the possible results of the amendments and determine

the possibility of the goals’ achievements. The strategic planning team should find out the

outcomes resulting from the amendments, who can be affected, what factors determine the

achievements, or if other substantial amendments are needed.

The amendments choice is made by nursing planning team. Amendments does not

actually result to improvements, even though, in accordance to the Institute of Healthcare

Improvement Institute (Dickens et al.,2019), all enhancements require certain amendments level.

After the requirements of the facility have been determined and regulations to determine the

outcomes have been determined, the managerial and expert team must significantly provide the

amendments it advocates. At a point, the plan will have to obey increased modifications call

resulting to less waste, a lot of effective management time, and more working environment that

is very productive. The amendments that are in play are implemented broadly in the whole

facility system.

The Process of Management and The Impacts it has on Optimal Healthcare Delivery.

manpower (Rakich, Longest Jr, & Darr, 2000). The management of nursing entails leading,

planning, organizing, coordinating and controlling the resources of the facility in a much more

efficient or effective way to acquire its desired outcomes and set objectives. The process

considers several approaches of management that protects both human and material resources in

several efficient practices and applying them in the fields of healthcare and nursing.

To undertake nursing functions of management, numerous important the team of

managers are required be competent enough. (Kumah, Ankomah, & Antwi, 2016). Through

competence, nurses are able to undertake their duties in health care due to possession of good

capabilities and helpful talents. These qualities include conceptual skills, involving the ability of

nurses to analyze complex patient issues and provide possible significant solutions. In nursing,

technical skills are shown by nurses in the potential they show in performing different healthcare

duties. Social abilities are also important in the field of nursing, such that the nursing team of

managers are able to work and communicate with other members of the staff, despite their

managerial positions.

In delivering of optimum healthcare, the management has numerous impacts due in

nursing department. Leadership duties can affect the results of nursing duties in relation to

several categories of handling the patients. The reduction and management of problems

particularly the errors made during medication, through the influence of management on nurses,

can be associated with the outcomes of patients’ services offered by the nurses, absenteeism,

overtime, staff expertise, turn over, and the ratios of patients to nurses. Efficient management of

nursing is very important in the processes of healthcare, creation of work environments for the

nurses, require levels of staff, and the resources that support the nurses in ensuring prevention of

unnecessary deaths of the patients. Other elements of the management process are needed to

ensure that patients are satisfied with the services offered to them by the nurses.
