Directions

1.       Review the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) core healthcare competencies. Select ONE of these competencies that you will work on for developing a Leadership SMART Goal. The five core competencies are listed below.

·         Managing Patient-Centered Care;

·         Working in interdisciplinary and/or interprofessional teams;

·         Employing evidence-based practice;

·         Applying quality improvement techniques; and

·         Utilizing informatics.

 

2.       Create ONE leadership goal that is in the SMART goal format. You practiced this in the Week 3 Discussion, and received valuable feedback from your instructor and peers. Please refer to this as you work on the assignment.

S – Specific(Who besides YOU is involved in the goal, what is YOUR goal, where will it take place?)

M – Measurable (How are YOU going to achieve the goal?) Be specific with measureable outcomes.

A – Attainable (What resources and/or experts are available to assist YOU with attaining YOUR goal?)

R – Realistic (Is YOUR goal something that is realistically obtainable in YOUR professional practice?) Be specific.

T – Time bound(What specific dates or weeks will YOU accomplish each task related to your leadership goal?)

 

·         Example NOT in SMART format: I will learn how to be a manager. This goal is lofty, not measurable, and unattainable in the time allotted, probably not realistic, and not time bound.

·         Examplein SMART Format: I will learn the disciplinary process of an employee who has excessive absences, by locating the organization’s attendance policy and meeting with the unit manager, reviewing peer-reviewed articles and credible websites to obtain information on the disciplinary process by Week 4 (or specified date).
