Identify three key stakeholders that may be a support to Mary in addressing the budget cut issues. Provide rationale for your decision. (SLO 3.1, CO 1, 3
A stakeholder that may be a support for the DON in addressing the budget cuts is Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP). HPP focuses on the development of healthcare coalitions (HCC) designed to promote emergency preparedness collaboration among hospitals and between hospitals and public health agencies, emergency management agencies, and emergency medical services (Toner, 2017).
Rationale
The HPP coalition network this healthcare belongs to may be of a tremendous support to the healthcare facility. The DON may collaborate with the HPP coalition network for reduced or no cost of hazard preparedness for a limited period. The facilitys hazard preparedness will be fully covered by the coalition during this grace period. Healthcare coalitions are the best way to manage limited preparedness funds (Toner, 2017). This collaboration and support will reduce or eliminate the cost of preparedness therefore lowering the healthcare organization overall costs.
The nursing organization or associations can be a supportive stakeholder in a budget cuts situation. Though state and federal policies guide the nurse staffing ratio, staffing differs and are dependent on organizations.
Rationale
Collaboration with the greatest resource of the healthcare organization, the nursing staff can help beat the high cost of full staffing. Collaboration with nurse union and/or association can bring about agreement to adjust staffing matrix (Drake, 2020). These adjustments may temporarily proffer solution to inability to hire new nurses or approve overtime because of budget cuts.
