Failure is a natural part of life, and it can be a valuable learning experience. As a leader, it is important to view failure as an opportunity to improve and to innovate.

How to Use Failure to Move Forward for Evidence-Based Innovation/Change in My Practice Setting

Here are some ways that I can use failure to move forward for evidence-based innovation/change in my practice setting at Mercris Home Health:

• Identify the root cause of the failure. The first step is to identify the root cause of the failure. This will help to prevent the failure from happening again.
• Learn from the failure. Once the root cause of the failure has been identified, it is important to learn from it. This can be done by talking to the people involved in the failure, reviewing data, and reading articles and books on the topic.
• Use the lessons learned from the failure to improve. The lessons learned from the failure can be used to improve the process or system that led to the failure. This can lead to evidence-based innovation and change.

Anticipated System Problem or Challenge Within Mercris Home Health: Why Direct Hire NPs by the Faculty can cut Cost because now we have to go through a doctor, and they have to pay a doctor more.

One potential system problem or challenge that I anticipate within Mercris Home Health is the cost of direct hiring nurse practitioners (NPs) by the faculty. Currently, Mercris Home Health has to go through a doctor to hire NPs, and doctors typically charge more than NPs.

How I Can Use Failure to Move Forward for Evidence-Based Innovation/Change in This Situation

If Mercis Home Health is unable to cut costs by directly hiring NPs, I can use failure as a strategy for success by following these steps:

1. Identify the root cause of the failure. The root cause of the failure may be that Mercis Home Health is not able to offer NPs competitive salaries and benefits.
2. Learn from the failure. I can learn from the failure by talking to NPs who have been hired directly by other healthcare organizations. I can also review data on NP salaries and benefits.
3. Use the lessons learned from the failure to improve. I can use the lessons learned from the failure to improve Mercis Home Health’s NP recruitment and retention process. I can also advocate for Mercis Home Health to offer NPs more competitive salaries and benefits.

Example of How Failure Can be Used as a Strategy for Success in Another Healthcare Setting

One example of how failure can be used as a strategy for success in another healthcare setting is the development of the electronic health record (EHR). The EHR was originally developed in the 1960s, but it was not widely adopted until the 2000s. One of the reasons why the EHR was not widely adopted was because it was difficult to use and it was expensive to implement.

However, healthcare organizations learned from the failures of the early EHR systems. In the 2000s, healthcare organizations began to develop more user-friendly and affordable EHR systems. As a result, the EHR is now widely adopted in healthcare settings.

Conclusion

Failure can be a valuable learning experience. As a leader, it is important to view failure as an opportunity to improve and to innovate. By following the steps outlined above, I can use failure to move forward for evidence-based innovation/change in my practice setting at Mercris Home Health.
