**Decision-Making Process Paper**
Instructions
In this assignment, you will be writing a 6–8-page paper identifying [
**maximum page limit is 8 pages- do not exceed as it will incur a penalty**], comparing and contrasting at least 3 different decision-making approaches of care from a multidisciplinary perspective using a pertinent and significant topic in nursing [The following topics are NOT allowed and will not be approved: shortage and nurse turnover, nurse staffing ratios, unit closures, and restructuring, use of contract employees (i.e., registry and travel nurse)]. The topic
**MUST BE APPROVED** **by your nursing instructor before writing the paper. Your topic was approved in week 3- please refer to week 3's approved topic.** You are
required to use APA 7th edition format, and the page count, appropriate headings, the title page, and the reference page. Reflect on your decision-making practices and the implications this will have regarding differing approaches taken by nursing leaders and staff nurses/clinical practitioners in decision-making regarding issues in practice. To complete this assignment, do the following:
Use at least 10 CURRENT references other than your main text, do not exceed the maximum 8 page limit [not counting references and cover page]. Uses APA 7th edition formatting.
Please see sample APA 7 paper- DO NOT use an Abstract.
1. Select and describe an issue in nursing that impacts nurses at all levels from bedside to advanced practice. Make sure to provide an adequate background and its significance to all levels of nursing using a strong review of the literature. Additionally, this should include a thorough literature review that provides a good understanding of what the cause of this problem is; what is suggested to address this problem. Essentially, this review must support your choices of the decision-making models and this needs to include how all levels of nursing practice (the bedside nurse to the APN are impacted by the problem).
2. Identify how you would expect a nurse leader/manager, a bedside/staff nurse and an Advanced practice nurse (CNO or NP) to address your selected issue using at least 2 [3 ideal] different decision-making approaches which are clearly supported by the literature review. This must first include aa detailed analysis/overview of the selected decision making models and how they are used in practice. Then a detailed analysis of how these decision-making approaches/models would address the problem/along with a detailed analysis of how each of the three selected models would be applied to address the selected issue/problem making sure to incorporate this at all levels of practice. One of the decision-making models may be more applicable to the bedside nurse; whereas the other more applicable to the APN; however, all levels of nursing practice need to be addressed with at least one of the chosen 3 decision-making models. However, this does not mean that each decision-making model will apply to all levels of practice only that in this discussion needs to include how each level of nursing practice would utilize the decision-making model to address the problem. For instance, one decision making model may apply to the bedside nurse; the second decision making model may be more applicable at the level of APN (CNO, NP, etc) and the other decision-making model may be best applied to the nurse manager. This section should be detailed; meaning specific, well thought out, realistic solutions of how the nurse (at the level identified; this may include more than one level for the same decision-making model or not) would address the problem using the decision-making model is provided and well supported by the literature. of the benefits and limitations of various decision-making approaches that are applied appropriately to the level of nursing practice to address the selected issue/problem. This is informed from course readings, literature, clinical scenarios and other evidence-based and scholarly sources.
3. Prioritize the best decision-making approach/model to address the selected problem that is grounded in best practice. This should provide a well-supported rationale for this choice that includes a good comparison and contrasting of the 3 chosen decision-making models that clearly illustrates why the choice was made, that is consistent with the decision making model and how it would address the chosen topic or problem.
4. Identify a possible funding source that would addresses your approach to solving the problem. For instance, if the best approach to solving the nurse-to-patient ratio problem is through the use of SDM and shared governance, perhaps you may seek a local funding source to provide you with funding to implement a small EBP or research project that would be funded by a local nursing organization such as Sigma Theta Tau or perhaps if it was geared more towards assessing the value of this model towards NP in practice than seeking a local organization that supports funding for projects being implemented by practicing NP? If seeking money for research this would need to be overseen by a nurse with a DNP or a PhD or someone with the credentials to do so that are part of their scope of practice. Consider looking at federal, state, or local organizations. For example: There are many grants available through the CDC,HRSA, etc. Again, this need to be specifically applied with sufficient details

**Decision-Making Process Paper**
Instructions
In this assignment, you will be writing a 6–8-page paper identifying [
**maximum page limit is 8 pages- do not exceed as it will incur a penalty**], comparing and contrasting at least 3 different decision-making approaches of care from a multidisciplinary perspective using a pertinent and significant topic in nursing [The following topics are NOT allowed and will not be approved: shortage and nurse turnover, nurse staffing ratios, unit closures, and restructuring, use of contract employees (i.e., registry and travel nurse)]. The topic
**MUST BE APPROVED** **by your nursing instructor before writing the paper. Your topic was approved in week 3- please refer to week 3's approved topic.** You are
required to use APA 7th edition format, and the page count, appropriate headings, the title page, and the reference page. Reflect on your decision-making practices and the implications this will have regarding differing approaches taken by nursing leaders and staff nurses/clinical practitioners in decision-making regarding issues in practice. To complete this assignment, do the following:
Use at least 10 CURRENT references other than your main text, do not exceed the maximum 8 page limit [not counting references and cover page]. Uses APA 7th edition formatting.
Please see sample APA 7 paper- DO NOT use an Abstract.
1. Select and describe an issue in nursing that impacts nurses at all levels from bedside to advanced practice. Make sure to provide an adequate background and its significance to all levels of nursing using a strong review of the literature. Additionally, this should include a thorough literature review that provides a good understanding of what the cause of this problem is; what is suggested to address this problem. Essentially, this review must support your choices of the decision-making models and this needs to include how all levels of nursing practice (the bedside nurse to the APN are impacted by the problem).
2. Identify how you would expect a nurse leader/manager, a bedside/staff nurse and an Advanced practice nurse (CNO or NP) to address your selected issue using at least 2 [3 ideal] different decision-making approaches which are clearly supported by the literature review. This must first include aa detailed analysis/overview of the selected decision making models and how they are used in practice. Then a detailed analysis of how these decision-making approaches/models would address the problem/along with a detailed analysis of how each of the three selected models would be applied to address the selected issue/problem making sure to incorporate this at all levels of practice. One of the decision-making models may be more applicable to the bedside nurse; whereas the other more applicable to the APN; however, all levels of nursing practice need to be addressed with at least one of the chosen 3 decision-making models. However, this does not mean that each decision-making model will apply to all levels of practice only that in this discussion needs to include how each level of nursing practice would utilize the decision-making model to address the problem. For instance, one decision making model may apply to the bedside nurse; the second decision making model may be more applicable at the level of APN (CNO, NP, etc) and the other decision-making model may be best applied to the nurse manager. This section should be detailed; meaning specific, well thought out, realistic solutions of how the nurse (at the level identified; this may include more than one level for the same decision-making model or not) would address the problem using the decision-making model is provided and well supported by the literature. of the benefits and limitations of various decision-making approaches that are applied appropriately to the level of nursing practice to address the selected issue/problem. This is informed from course readings, literature, clinical scenarios and other evidence-based and scholarly sources.
3. Prioritize the best decision-making approach/model to address the selected problem that is grounded in best practice. This should provide a well-supported rationale for this choice that includes a good comparison and contrasting of the 3 chosen decision-making models that clearly illustrates why the choice was made, that is consistent with the decision making model and how it would address the chosen topic or problem.
4. Identify a possible funding source that would addresses your approach to solving the problem. For instance, if the best approach to solving the nurse-to-patient ratio problem is through the use of SDM and shared governance, perhaps you may seek a local funding source to provide you with funding to implement a small EBP or research project that would be funded by a local nursing organization such as Sigma Theta Tau or perhaps if it was geared more towards assessing the value of this model towards NP in practice than seeking a local organization that supports funding for projects being implemented by practicing NP? If seeking money for research this would need to be overseen by a nurse with a DNP or a PhD or someone with the credentials to do so that are part of their scope of practice. Consider looking at federal, state, or local organizations. For example: There are many grants available through the CDC,HRSA, etc. Again, this need to be specifically applied with sufficient details

Discussion 4: Evaluate the effectiveness of operations management
**Instructions**
You work in a service-based organization. A few employees have approached your management team with inventory concerns. The inventory program seems mismanaged and could use a facelift. The previous manager was utilizing a revenue management approach in hopes that optimization was a possible outcome. Using the textbook or outside sources, answer the following discussion questions.
Your initial post should be roughly 200 words in length, and your responses to peers should be roughly 200 words each. Cite sources you reference in-text and under a "References" section in APA format.
**Q1 Think back to your problem statements. What inventory model does your organization use now? Is there a more effective model that should be considered? If so, why?**
**Q2 What is the difference between yield management and revenue management for service-based organizations? Is a revenue management approach appropriate in a service-based organization? Explain your answer.**
**Q3 How can service companies carry labor inventory? Provide one example.**
