Overview

Often as leaders we are faced with budgetary constraints. As the leader of a unit or department, you must make financial decisions that impact the quality and safety for your patients and your staff. When issues arise, it is up to you to solve the problem. Problem solving is less successful when it is done in a silo. Choose one of the problem statements and determine how you as the leader will address the situation. How does the budget influence policy development? How can you influence your team to think strategically to come up with creative ways to problem solve? Who are your stakeholders? Who can you collaborate with to solve the problem?

In this discussion, you will choose a problem statement and respond to specific prompts.
