Delegating Those
Non-Patient Care Tasks
We have all heard it before: The key to effective management is delegation. But, if you're like me, sometimes it's hard to let go. What if the ball gets dropped? The problem is that either we can't get it all done well, or, worse, we trust it's getting done and it's not. If we take a team approach to all those jobs and documents we need to maintain, where each team member has clearly assigned roles, documents her activities and reports at monthly scheduled facility meetings, delegation may just work. Here are some "hats" you may want to put on key staff members.
Passing out all these hats will still require facilitation and support. Some hats may need to be yours, but you can still put them on at designated times so that those duties don't get missed. Ensure staff success by providing reporting tools. Maintain binders for each "hat" and keep them updated. Collaborate about findings and set goals. Track your activities and summarize them effectively to the governing board, then report the board's response and decision at your next team meeting. Hopefully, you may even end up with a few more good hair days.
