NUR 512 Module 6 Discussion APN Business Planning
Hello Jacqueline. I agree that APNs need to approach strategic business planning from a systems thinking perspective and be aware of the complexity of the healthcare landscape. Healthcare organizations entrust APNs to guide strategic business planning. Systematic thinking enables nurses to be significant in decision-making (Iriarte‐Roteta et al., 2020). The thinking model permits APNs to view a problem as part of a larger issue, more interrelated system. The approach empowers these healthcare professionals to be resourceful in addressing complex issues in strategic planning. Strategic planning drives healthcare facilities forward, and APNs improve the process (Erickson et al., 2021). High nursing competence and exceptional abilities in APNs enable them to be flexible to impact strategic planning. Complying with regulatory requirements and reliable financial resources enhance strategic planning in healthcare organizations.
