NR534 Week 3 Open and Closed Systems Impact of Decision Making Within
Facilitating: Over the next five weeks (3-7) you are engaging in group forums within
which you explore issues related to weekly lesson topics. For one of these you will assume role
of facilitator and the remainder of the weeks you are a participant. Your role as facilitator has
specific guidelines and grading rubric which are available here: Group Discussion Facilitation
Guidelines and Rubric. (Links to an external site.)
The grade for facilitation appears in the gradebook under Week 7: Facilitation.
To learn basic tips on what facilitation of a group means and how to perform it
successfully, please also review the Group Facilitation Information Sheet. (Links to an external
site.) There is not a separate electronic submission required for this assignment.
Participation: Engaging in group forums is a bit different from traditional discussion
posts. In group forums you engage in dialogue addressing the components in the prompt with the
guidance of the facilitator. The key to robust group forums is frequent, quality responses. The
facilitator posts within the first 24 hours of the week to start the discussion. To promote
thoughtful dialogue, you should respond as soon as able after the facilitator has posted. Review
the discussion rubric for further guidelines on grading.
Part 1: Individual
Describe your organization as a closed or open system. Discuss how thinking differs
between the two. Is there a difference in systems thinking in traditional healthcare versus
complex adaptive systems?
My current organization is a value-based organization, as its main pay factors are driven
by patient satisfaction and quality outcomes. It is a divisional-based organization. It is a vast
healthcare system with multiple facilities, inpatient, outpatient, and urgent care facilities, placing
it in the open healthcare system category. The organization's thinking system, structured in
shared governance, gets input from its team members on what makes them want to work at the
organization and what corporate and executives do to improve work-life balance and make this a
great place to work. The system is a complex adaptive system (CAS), as management and nurse
leaders' roles must engage staff in the organization and departments' improvements. Johnson et
al. 2018 define complexity as the condition that multiple uncommon pieces intertwined or
connected to each other in complicated, often non-linear exchanges that are hard to comprehend
more thoroughly. My organization functions on many internal and external forces that influence
its success.
Johnson, 2019 shared K.L. von Bertanlanffy 1950 essential role of General System Theory GST
as this new system's movement believing that there are merging framework as its foundation.
GST was created on open networks of biological organisms that can reproduce as they
intermingle with their surroundings.
Traditional thinking in healthcare was treating a patient for a specific disease and not treating
patients differently based on the different symptoms. CAS thinking is encouraging and testing
new ways of doing things, finding new evidence-based processes that are safe and effective, and
