In this assignment, you will analyze information found in the research articles, and synthesize new knowledge into a written small-scale literature review. Yes! You will write a small-scale literature review! This literature review will do directly in your research proposal as written, making it easy to complete your final research proposal.
Assignment Description:
For this assignment you are asked to complete a summary and critique of each of the five (5) articles you uploaded in the previous assignment. You are asked to take the information you sorted and classified from your findings in the previous assignment to write a one (1) page article summary and critique. You should upload five (5) one page summaries/critiques.
There is no unique way to write a good summary. Yet, when you have written one, your readers will recognize it as such. Perhaps a good way to write the summary part is to write up:
(a) the area to which the paper contributes, and the particular question(s) the paper addresses
(b) the main results of the paper
(c) the approach that is taken to get to the results
(d) the intuition for the result
Critiquing does not necessarily mean that you argue why something is bad, or even wrong. To the contrary you may want to argue why the research is a great step forward. But, then again, only positive criticism may not be helpful is improving research. It is useful for readers to learn for instance if the scope of a paper is limited (because of restrictive or unrealistic assumptions).

Title: Leadership Strategies for Implementing a New Patient Tracking System in a Busy Emergency Department
The healthcare industry is dynamic. Every patient is different. Every situation is different. A good healthcare leader must be able to address situations as they arise and make decisions accordingly. Consider the leadership styles that would be especially helpful in this scenario:
You recently accepted the nurse manager position of a busy emergency department (ED) in a new organization that had 100,000 ED visits last year. These visits represent a 10% increase over the previous year. To meet the needs for staffing required for this sudden growth, the prior nurse manager hired 10 new nursing graduates and 10 nurse travelers that arrived on the unit a few weeks before you came. The breakdown in level of tenure and experience in your staff is: 25% highly tenured in this ED and experienced in this specialty; 25% tenured within the organization and proficient in this specialty; and 30% less than 2 years in the ED/organization and competent in this specialty. The remaining 20% of your staff are the experienced ED nurse travelers and inexperienced new nurses, both groups that are new to the organization.
One of your first new responsibilities as the ED nurse manager is to provide unit-based leadership for the implementation of a new patient tracking system that offers more functionality than the previous tracking system used by this ED for the past 7 years. During the hiring process, you learned that the organization was going to implement this new patient tracking system, and you shared that you had experience in implementing the same system in your previous job.
Write a paper in which you demonstrate how you, as the leader in the case example provided, would address the following:
Explain how you would provide leadership for the implementation of the new system. Include a description of the leadership behaviors that would be most effective to position your staff for success based on their experience and needs.
Explain how this implementation plan relates to your Clifton Strengths Signature Theme Report, including how this leadership situation aligns with or differs from your leadership profile.
Explain your rationale for your choices and appropriately reference literature that supports your thinking.
Explain how being able to successfully implement situational leadership better positions you to advocate for social change within your new organization on behalf of the patient population served. -

Leigh has published extensively on this topic, including her recent book. Read Leigh Goodmark’s (2004) and (2009) articles which question the value of legal system interventions; she argues that we need to rethink our approach to law and policy in responding to family violence.

These articles encourage you to rethink what is justice from a victim-survivor perspective and whether a legal intervention can ever provide the outcome victim-survivors want from the system.
We also encourage you to consider Leigh’s argument as you reflect on the various reform options we examined in part 1.
Here is a video of a seminar Leigh Goodmark delivered in 2022 discussing her newest book, which focuses on criminalisation, the idea of the ‘imperfect victim’, and abolition feminism. You can find the recording and summary of this presentation here.
