Keep in mind that completing this TD is the key to assisting you with the Week 4 Assignment, My Leadership Development SMART Goal. Use the format below to develop a leadership SMART goal for YOURSELF, not your organization or department. The goal needs to be related to ONE of the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) quality initiative, which includes five core healthcare profession competencies. However, your assignment focuses on only two of the initiatives. These are Patient-Centered Care or Working in Interdisciplinary and/or Interprofessional Teams. One of these competencies will serve as a framework for identification of your leadership goal.

NOTE: Your two choices are Patient-Centered Care or Working in Interdisciplinary and/or Interprofessional Teams.

SMART Goal Format:

S—Specific (Who, besides YOU is involved in your goal, what is YOUR goal, and where will it take place?)
M—Measurable (How are YOU going to achieve the goal?)
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 by YOU in YOUR professional practice? Explain.)
T—Time bound (What specific dates or weeks will YOU accomplish each task related to YOUR leadership goal?)

Again, this goal is about YOUR leadership development…not a SMART goal for your department or the organization for which you work.

 

Here is an example of how it should look using SMART GOAL FORMAT.

 

S: (Specific) I will become a certified "Super-User" of the EPIC electronic health records system by October 2015. By becoming certified I will be taking on leadership responsibilities in the ICU at General Hospital and will be the go-to leadership member for training staff on the unit.

M: (Measurable) I will need to attend training sessions for __ (number of hours) in order to become certified. The training is offered two times per year and I am registered for the June 2015 session at General Hospital. The training is intense but I am dedicated to becoming a super-user and look forward to learning new leadership skills.

A: (Attainable) I will need to attend the training for one day each week over the next three months. I have worked with my immediate supervisor who has agreed to cover my shift each week with per diem staff. I will also be in training with other staff members from other departments in the hospital who have varying degrees of EPIC experience. I will be moving from novice to expert within the next 12 weeks of EPIC training.

R: (Realistic) I will be able to attain this goal within the timeframe established through the support of my director and peers. Once I become a certified super user I will be demonstrating leadership by educating all new employees on the unit to EPIC as well as being a resource for staff, physicians, and other health care providers on a daily basis.

T: I will begin my training June 4, 2015 and will continue each week for an 8 hour day until the 12 week course ends. Week 1 will encompass ... Week 2 will encompass... Week 3 will encompass... etc.  

This is a very simply stated SMART goal but gives you an idea of how it needs to focus on YOU rather than your organization. Please look at the assignment criteria for next week. This assignment is a six-page paper and I want you to have a solid foundation from your TD post this week
