Learning Objectives:
At the end of the topic, the learners will be able to:
1.Discuss the principles and concepts in nursing management
2.Describe the nursing management process
3.Apply the concepts learned in the nursing practice
Introduction to Management
Management
-uses delegated authority within a formed organization to organize, direct and control
subordinates so that nursing services are coordinated.
- Refers to middle and lower levels of hierarchy and is often the implementing body.
- It is a process of getting things done through people

- The nursing management processes support the nursing process
Purpose of Nursing Management Process:

- To achieve the opportunity to work collaboratively with patients and others
- To achieve continuity of care
P1 NLM RLE
Characteristic of the Nursing Management Process
1. Systematic
- it has an ordered sequence of activities and each activity depends on the accuracy of
the activity that precedes it and influences the activity following it
2. Dynamic
- has a great interaction and overlapping among the activities and each activity is fluid
and flows into the next activity
3. Interpersonal
- ensures that nurses are patient-centered rather than task-centered and encourages
them to work with other members of the health team to help patients use their strengths to meet their
own personal needs.
4. Goal-Directed
- it is a means for nurses and patients to work together to identify specific goals related
to wellness promotion, disease and illness prevention, health restoration, coping and altered functioning
which are most important to the patient and to match them with appropriate nursing actions.
5. Universally Applicable
- allows nurses to practice nursing with well or ill person, young or old and in any type of
practice setting
System of Nursing Management Process
- Shows the relationship of system components of the nursing management process
- Managing successful requires the understanding of the concepts in management such as the
difference between vision and goals and organization and administration, mission, objectives as
well as philosophy
Administration
- Is the higher level of hierarchy
- It is the policy making body that sets the policy for the organization
- Determines the aims and objectives of the organization that fully utilizes man, money, time
power, facilities in attaining goals and objectives
- Concept that is integral to management
- The Administrators who occupy the highest position in an organization are referred to as
executive officers

Role of a Health Manager:
1. Interpersonal
2. Informational
3. Decisional
C. Difference between Leadership and Management
 The terms leadership and management refer to the functions and relationships while leaders
and managers refer to the actor or agent of leadership and management
 Situational Differences: e.g. A nurse can hold a management position but fail to realize that this
position does not define his leadership abilities nor does it translate to having leadership
qualities.
 One might have the necessary requirements to qualify for the management position but lacks
the understanding of what a leader truly is.
 On the other hand, one might be a good leader but not a good manager
 Or maybe a good manager but not a good leader, e.g. a nurse manager who can deliver the
work from the nursing unit he manages but cannot inspire the staff to do more.
 Leadership is doing the right thing while management is doing things right

by every nurse who provides care to their patients
 There is leadership gap when the growing demand of rising population for the delivery of cost
effective and quality patient outcomes in healthcare is not met by a strong nursing leadership.
D. MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS (HEADNURSING)
PLANNING
 It is the process of determining the objectives of administrative effort and devising the means
calculated to achieve them. -Millet
 Is a comprehensive term that involves choosing a course of action from all available options for
accomplishing the desired results which are economical and certain.
 It is a continuous process that begins with the setting of goals and objectives and then setting
out a plan of action to achieve them, put them into play, review the process and the outcomes,
provide feedbacks to the personnel and staff, and modify it as needed.
Nursing Unit / Ward
 A ward is that area of the hospital where all amenities- physical, social and especially medical
care are made accessible to facilitate patient's treatment and make the patients feel at home
until the time that they are discharged.
 A nursing unit is an area in a hospital or other health care delivery setting where all patients
with similar needs are grouped together to facilitate the provision of care by health care
professionals who are trained in that specialty.
 Head Nurse / Nurse Manager / Assistant Nurse Supervisor - typically are the ones in charge of
the unit.
Principles of Planning Health Services:
 Planning must focus on purposes.
 It should always be based on clearly defined objectives
 Continuity and flexibility should be maintained in planning cycle
 It should be simple and there should be provision for proper analysis and classification of
actions.
 There should be good harmony with organization and environment
 It is hierarchical in nature and must have an organizational identification
 It should cover the entire setup, all connected departments, and different levels of
administration, and it should be balanced
P1 NLM RLE



It should be realistic in its scope and pinpoints the expected results
Provision should be made to use available recourses
Planning should always be documented
Planning of the Nursing Unit:
 There is an implementation of the overall plan for the nursing department
 It provides for the establishment of a number of units or departments,
 Each unit is charged with the responsibility of accomplishing some portion of the plan
 Involves the Head nurse/Assistant nurse supervisor
 Who is in charge of a small individual nursing unit.
 He/ She is responsible to the director of the nursing service either directly or through
a supervisor.
 While the director of the nursing service is to the director of the hospital for
competent management of their departments
 There are three other groups in the line of responsibility all of which are directly responsible to
the head nurse:
 General staff nurses
 student nurses who gives bedside care to the patients
 Nonprofessional workers (nurse aids, orderlies, and clerks)
 Housekeeping personnel
 Staff nurses at their level take part in the process of planning (e.g., daily planning related to
patient care including history taking, assessment, and nursing diagnosis).
Points to keep in mind in the unit planning:
 Matching people jobs
- e.g., patient assignment, special assignment distribution among nurses
 Developing policies and procedures specific to the client's cared for

- e.g., regular ACLS classes
 Preparing and conducting training programs
 Coordinating all patient care activities by coordinated making of duty roaster, patient
assignment and class arrangements.
 Meeting needs of the patients
 Supervising personnel
- i.e., nursing as well as non-professional workers under her Proper maintenance of
records and reports of patients

 Strategy means a set of decisions taken to achieve the objectives
P1 NLM RLE
I. Follow up of proposed course of action

is inevitable, there should be a prior provision for following up the proposed program when it is put into
action
