report delivery has affected the reputation of
the organization

leadership style to apply in the situation for
better outcomes

3. Introduction
• The healthcare industry is riddled with a lot of uncertainties.
• It is the work of each healthcare center that the patients get
treated and satisfied with how their problems have been
handled.
• However, there is a delay that is sometimes experienced on
the report of the patients
• Despite it being out of the control of nurses, the bulk falls on
them in most cases.
(Busse et al., 2019)

•Some of the reasons that might bring about
this challenge is:
•Depletion of lab reagents in the healthcare
•Emergencies of the healthcare workers
involved in the process

5. Decision Model
Rational decision-making model
• Define the problem

decide how important each is

them
• Determine the best solution

management

• A nurse here will act on the situation according to
what the prevailing situation demands.
• Transformational leadership style works best in this
industry(Fischer, 2016) .
• Here, it will aid in winning the trust of the patient
through the relationship created by the nurse.

9. Patient's Perception
• Efficiency is one of the measures that patients use to
determine the level of quality service being
rendered.
• Delay in bringing back the report of the patient
might affect negatively what the patient thinks of
the organization's quality level.
• Nurses are, in most cases, the receivers of the
frustrations

•However, rational decision making can
be applied
•Finding the root cause of the problem
will help in identifying the best way out
(Burkhardt et al., 2016)

11. Conclusion
• A lot of uncertainties riddles the healthcare
industry.
• The healthcare center should work towards
removing the danger of these from affecting them.
• A nurse, upon whom most of the bulk work from
patients lies must have both leadership and
managerial skills to handle the prevailing
situations.
