Walden University Price of Prescription Drugs in US Policy Proposal Review the national healthcare issue/stressor you examined in your Assignment for Module 1, and review the analysis of the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. Identify and review two evidence-based scholarly resources that focus on proposed policies/practices to apply to your selected healthcare issue/stressor. Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post regarding competing needs. Assignment: Developing Organizational Policies and Practices
Competing needs arise within any organization as employees seek to meet their targets and leaders
seek to meet company goals. As a leader, successful management of these goals requires establishing
priorities and allocating resources accordingly.
Within a healthcare setting, the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients are often in conflict.
Mandatory overtime, implementation of staffing ratios, use of unlicensed assisting personnel, and
employer reductions of education benefits are examples of practices that might lead to conflicting needs
in practice.
Leaders can contribute to both the problem and the solution through policies, action, and inaction. In
this Assignment, you will further develop the white paper you began work on in Module 1 by addressing
competing needs within your organization.
