NHS FPX 5004 Assessment 3 Diversity Project Kickoff Student Name Capella University NHS-FPX5004 Communication, Collaboration, and Case Analysis for Master’s Students Professor Name Submission Date Slide 1 Hello everyone! My name is XYZ. While in Lakeland Medical Clinic, I created a presentation to help represent diversity, which I invite you to come through the door with me today. These were the goals that would be shared in this specific presentation, and the strategies that would be shared to help get the institution on board to embrace and support diversity. Hence, the most critical areas that need to be worked on in the context of the organization’s diversity initiative are leadership and collaboration. Slide 2 The topics that I would be going over are: Members of the Diversity Project and the relevance of the project Project Goals Team Composition Committee Role It’s, therefore, necessary to plan how it can be improved Characteristics of an Inclusive Workforce Understand the benefits of workplace diversity as well as real-world examples of diversity in the workplace. Slide 3 In light of the above results, it is clear that Lakeland Medical Clinic should implement a diversity project to provide a professional and safe environment for the staff as well as patients, thereby improving the patients’ experience and satisfaction. Diversity programs ensure that everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or any other ability or disability, feels equal and included in a company. They give empowerment to the team members and the patients, and the patients feel confident. Research demonstrates that diversity drives and enhances financial performance, as well as patient care. (Gomez & Bernet, 2019) Diversified projects were also found to be beneficial in improving the financial condition of the care centers. At the same time, the patients stated that they were more satisfied with the diversified care teams offered to them. The organization becomes more productive, and it has a positive impact on the return on investment (Gomez & Bernet, 2019). There is a strong link between effective communication and risk assessment and, therefore, better health of those involved. This openness is what Gomez and Bernet (2019) mentioned is important because there is no conflict due to organizational changes. Of course, a more palliative goal would be easier to achieve in the context of diversity projects because all members feel included and feel like they are being valued, and can contribute with the resources they have. Slide 4 The first strategic direction and goal of this diversity work plan is to include all members and human resources in the organizational structure and decision-making. All successes and failures should be shared and explained within the organization to enrich the complexity and the differences of the organization’s diversity. This also helps to make diversity and inclusion an integral part of the organization, ensuring the organizational culture and the objectives of the organization are clearly defined. (Stanford, 2020) To this end, a concept of inclusive leadership has been called for, where the staff is motivated and involved. Therefore, the most appropriate leadership style would be transformational leadership, which guides the staff/individuals concerned. Leadership patterns enable the accomplishment of numerous objectives, for example, engaging staff involvement, recruiting people from different fields and levels, and addressing conflict with positive behaviors (Bradley, 2020). The strategies developed at this stage make the following assumptions: They would have no problems communicating with each other, the group members would be cooperative, and this would have a positive influence. Slide 5 The members of the ‘’Lakeland Medical Clinic’ in the diversity project would include all actors and other decision-makers in the work setting. It would contain the working staff of the administration, which constitutes the formal business staff of the clinic, such as nurses, doctors, and others. The other team would consist of senior management, including nursing leaders or managers, administrators of the hospital, the chief of medicine, other departments, and board members. Such members may have to create a special committee to review the statistics of the ethnic composition of the staff. Once the issues have been worked on, a weekly meeting can be held to come up with a definite plan. Such a plan would help to introduce the change with due contemplation and, hence, discussions. They would consist of everyone in the staff, chiefs, leaders, and all their ideas and opinions would be heard. Slide 6 The committee’s purpose is to facilitate a healthy discussion on the diversity project in which all committee members participate. It might be offered as part of the staff recruitment and selection procedure that has been proven to be culturally sensitive. The other discussions would require a variety of ages, genders, ethnic origins, religions, and cultures of people in the organization. The committees should also ensure that, and ensure that intolerant members of staff do not obstruct good communication within the institution. The committee will make sure that there is no prejudice or unfair treatment in the organization. In order to build a culture of safety, the awareness of the issues around inclusion and diversity must be raised amongst employees. Slide 7 Therefore, it is expected that there are suitable avenues for communication between the health care providers and that the process is an ongoing and unbroken one; Interprofessional relationships flow. Communication will aid in the creation of a suitable team and in communicating with others. An advanced interprofessional collaboration framework of competencies can be applied, e.g., the core competencies that have been reported in the literature from Sunnybrook (McLaney et al., 2022) and are designed to support hospitals in improving advanced interprofessional collaboration. It improves the provision of care by providing “patient-centered care. Such types of frameworks and staff training can facilitate collaboration within the organization, which would support the organization to make the proper decision (McLaney et al., 2022). The overall concept is that several workshops can be done each month with the aim of beginning communication between staff and to get the various members to know one another.
