Assignment: Change Implementation and Management Plan

It is one of the most cliché of clichés, but it nevertheless rings true: The only constant is change. As a nursing professional, you are no doubt aware that success in the healthcare field requires the ability to adapt to change, as the pace of change in healthcare may be without rival.

As a professional, you will be called upon to share expertise, inform, educate, and advocate. Your efforts in these areas can help lead others through change. In this Assignment, you will propose a change within your organization and present a comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and identify one change that you believe is called for in your organization/workplace.
    • This may be a change necessary to effectively address one or more of the issues you addressed in the Workplace Environment Assessment you submitted in Module 4. It may also be a change in response to something not addressed in your previous efforts. It may be beneficial to discuss your ideas with your organizational leadership and/or colleagues to help identify and vet these ideas.
  • Reflect on how you might implement this change and how you might communicate this change to organizational leadership.

The Assignment (5-6-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation):

Change Implementation and Management Plan

Create a narrated PowerPoint presentation of 5 or 6 slides with video that presents a comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose.

Your narrated presentation should be 5–6 minutes in length.

Your Change Implementation and Management Plan should include the following:

  • An executive summary of the issues that are currently affecting your organization/workplace (This can include the work you completed in your Workplace Environment Assessment previously submitted, if relevant.)
  • A description of the change being proposed
  • Justifications for the change, including why addressing it will have a positive impact on your organization/workplace
  • Details about the type and scope of the proposed change
  • Identification of the stakeholders impacted by the change
  • Identification of a change management team (by title/role)
  • A plan for communicating the change you propose
  • A description of risk mitigation plans you would recommend to address the risks anticipated by the change you propose

 

Evaluate the effectiveness of care strategies

PRNP2101 Semester 2 Assignment

The Learning Outcomes:

Keep these in mind at all times.

Make sure your work demonstrates that you have done this:

Apply pathophysiology, psychology and social processes to common adult health conditions and an understanding of adult ill-health;

Apply knowledge and understanding of the principles of assessment and care planning, to plan evidence-based care strategies for people with diverse physical, mental, cognitive health or social care needs, that support people to maintain optimal independence;

Evaluate the effectiveness of care strategies;

Critically appraise partnership and intra-agency working with the multidisciplinary team and service users in developing person-centred care plans.

 

You need to apply your knowledge and understanding of the principles of assessment to select three care needs. These should be person centred and show understanding of the person’s priorities.

Eg Pravin has a diabetic foot ulcer is NOT a care need. What is it about the foot ulcer that is affecting Pravin? What is the need that requires intervention?

For each care need identify 2 or 3 appropriate interventions

Use the care plan template provided to produce a plan of care. The plan should offer an evidence based rationale for each intervention. (LO1 LO4)

 

Produce an evidence-based report which further explores one of the planned interventions. This report should also consider the role of the wider health care team and the patient/service user in the provision of person-centred (personalised) care.

 

Read widely, use primary source academic/professional sources to support your work

Remember to use the Harvard Referencing system consistently; review the guidelines

Paraphrase, avoid direct quotes .Write information that you have read in your own words to demonstrate knowledge and understanding

Proof read work for spelling grammar, punctuation and flow of work.

Ensure learning outcomes are met and the assignment brief is addressed

Seek help and support.
