You are a hospital administrator for a hospital in Oklahoma. You have a severe nursing shortage in your hospital from the COVID 19 pandemic. The hospital has already offered the COVID 19 vaccine to all employees, but only 50% have actually been fully vaccinated, with only 40% of the nursing staff fully vaccinated. Due to this low rate of vaccination, the hospital is proposing a mandatory vaccination policy based on the threat of COVID 19 to other employees and patients. This type of mandatory vaccination policy is already in place for influenza vaccination. The policy requires all new employees to have COVID 19 vaccination when hired and all current employees receive a COVID 19 vaccination within the next two months (there is vaccine available for all employees) or risk termination.
Some of the nurses and nursing organizations support implementing this policy, while others do not. As the hospital administrator, you must make the decision.
For this assignment, respond to each of the following questions.
1. What are three arguments for this policy and three arguments against this policy? (6 points)
2. Name five stakeholders you would consult in making this decision and why you would choose these five stakeholders. (5 points)
3. State whether you as a health care manager would implement this policy and your reason for making this decision. (5 points)
4. Identify one outcome you could use to measure if this policy is effective and explain why you chose this measure. (4 points)
