SYSTEMATIC LEADERSHIP II

This course focuses on communication, ethical/legal issues, and advocacy as they are applied to complex health situations. Principles of communication and relationships help the advanced practitioner be an effective team leader and team member in multidisciplinary groups. The exploration of pertinent ethical and legal dilemmas will provide a background for decision making with groups and individuals. Retrieval and synthesis of data insures a basis for evaluating individual and team goals. The transformation of electronic data bases further enriches patient advocacy by applying evidence-based practice to consumer health care information and aligning clinical systems to meet health care benchmarks.
