PCP; some patients appointments were 3-4 months out, so it was easier to use the retail clinic. In
analyzing the organizational structure, function, and appropriate use of resources this is a process that

can use improvement, not only for the patient but for the system. Patients need to be seen in a
reasonable amount of time. As a master’s prepared nurse, it is my duty and responsibility to strive for
improvement in healthcare cost, delivery and outcomes.
The case studies and clinical settings created a
learning environment that demonstrates the value of teamwork, implementing evidence based theory
and research, and learning to work out challenges in the work place.
I have also learned how organizational structure and principles of management including
outcomes affect the way an organization views their practice.
These last seven weeks have created a
learning process of patient care and the challenges practitioners will face from time to time. However, it
also provided a strong knowledge in research, application of research, facilitating change, and
consistently working to improve the delivery of care by collaborating in the planning and implementing
of care.
Dr. Stucki, I have really enjoyed this class! Your interactive style of teaching and pushing me to
dig deeper for answers made this one of my favorite classes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and
making this journey a little bit easier!!
