The concepts of power sharing, consultation and joint ways of working are essential for effective service provision. Health and social care professionals need to understand the importance of promoting autonomy with individuals. They also need to be aware of their own roles and responsibilities and how they relate to others within the sector. Companies therefore now need to think creatively about how to recruit and involve individuals in planning and delivering of care services and need to invest time and effort in effective ‘partnership working’. This ensures the individual accessing care or services is placed at the centre or home.
To be able to do this there needs to be clear objectives set which must be worked towards in order to reach the desired outcome. To be able to work with outcome based practice the desired outcome must be established first, this helps the team, service users and others know what the end product should be. Throughout this process there should be regular reviews to find out how outcomes are being met and find out the impact or changes that it had had on the service user. Where positive changes have been identified the programme should continue towards the goal, if however there appears to have had a negative impact on the service users then new strategies should be discussed. It follows a person centred approach to support, always keeping the needs and wishes of the service user in mind and looking to achieve the best possible outcome.
A lot of people may view professional development as being a chore, a requirement of the job or maybe they feel that with the everyday tasks they already have to complete for their job they just don’t have the time to take on anything extra. However in the role of manager it is our responsibility to identify the staff needs for development with each individual’s ability and possibly their preferred learning style to turn professional development from a negative to a positive for that person, to enable them to develop their capabilities and skills within their job role and enjoy the experience. When sourcing areas of training for staff be creative, assess who the training is for and the best way to deliver it, if for a group is it better to bring someone in and do it in-house is this feasible to your workplace. Other possibilities may be that the training is available to do online which in turn means that you don’t have to close for to provide training, maybe it would be possible to organise joint training with similar organisations to enable release of a smaller
This can be a difficult task but as long as the right team is in place it can be successful. The systems development life cycle involves planning, selection, implementation, and support of the new information system for health care these phases. Training is also very important in this process to make sure that the information system is properly used. The goals of the organization drive the selection of the information system and the stakeholder’s role is very important in the selection. It is important have the information system that we determine best meets the needs of our health care organization will need to be one that is all encompassing.
1.1 Explain the importance of continually improving knowledge and practice Professional development is a hugely important aspect in any industry to ensure the success and effectiveness of a business. Managers must ensure they continue to update and refresh their knowledge through, for example; research, training, seminars, workshops etc. in order to ensure current working practices are meeting legislation such as employment laws, equal opportunities etc. and meeting standards such as the care council code of practice and national minimum standards and regulations as set out by CSIW. It is vital for management to be aware and up to date with relevant legislation and information, as it is a part of their role to guide, support and influence other staff to do well in their own roles.
Lead and manage a team within health and social care setting Learning outcome one – Understand the features of effective team performance. Activity 1 Examine Syer and Connolly and Bruce Tuckmans theory of team development and compare the two Syer and Connolly believe that effective team development requires certain aspects to be in place in order for the development to happen, they write that there are two elements to team development, maintenance and task roles. In order for the team to develop they need to have task roles such as analysis, decision making, planning and design, maintenance roles are areas such as being concerned about people’s feelings and relationship between team members, continually working towards cohesion within the team and preventing negative conflict within the team, they also believe that task and maintenance roles are interconnected and both are required for the success of teams. ( Syer and Connolly 1996) Bruce Tuckmans theory related to how teams build from the start of their journey together and some of the transitions they go through when building the team dynamic, Tuckman describes these thus: Forming – when a team are trying to develop their roles and responsibilities are unclear, the team members do not want conflict and therefore tend to not make any decisions for fear of upsetting one another, they simply want to gather information about each other before making any commitment to taking on responsibility, this often happened when someone new joins and established team, they as individuals will be reluctant to take on any responsibility. Storming – when team members become more established and knowledgeable and want to show what they have learned, this can lead to conflict and power struggles as their skills and understanding develop and they challenge each other’s ideas.
Before implementing risk controls, you need to assess the potential effectiveness and possible consequences. You should then suggest a realistic and acceptable time frame for implementation of controls and ensure that deadlines are complied with. Employees should also be consulted as they might have good ideas of what can be done to reduce the likelihood of injury or damage. Also when controls are to be implemented, organizations should communicate proposed plans to affected employees via a form of specific training, staff notices or the revision and a public workplace statement of revised standard operating procedures. It is important to identify and implement WHS procedures and instructions to keep aware of Possible hazardous occurrences, and to be on top of workplace WHS.
Some of the training involved for employers trying to improve health and safety would be risk assessments, setting up emergency procedures and making arrangements for implementing the health and social measures identifies as necessary.
