NR631 W4 Communication Plan Guidelines and Rubric

NR631 W4 Communication Plan Template

Purpose

The process of project management has five phases: (1) design and initiation, which you just completed; (2) finalizing your plan before implementation, which you will do now; (3) implementation; (4) monitor and control; and finally, (5) evaluation and lessons learned, as well as knowledge transfer.

During Phase 2 (finalizing the project plan), you will continue to create the tools and documents you will need when you implement your project as the project manager in Phase 3.

Week 4: Communications Plan

Week 5: Deliverables and Critical Success Factors (CSFs)

Week 6: Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Gantt Chart

Week 7: Risk Management and Human Resource Management Plans

In this assignment, students act as project managers to develop and facilitate project communication, including the variety of communication needs for all team members and stakeholders. The project manager is responsible for all project communication. The communication plan the project manager develops and disseminates must detail the types of communication expected throughout the project. It also documents how the information and reports will be shared and when.

To assist you, there is a document you will complete and attach as an appendix to the professional paper you will submit, and an example of communication planning above.

Course Outcomes

If the student’s request is approved, the student will be informed of the revised due date. Should the student fail to meet the revised due date, the assignment is graded and a late penalty is applied as follows:

VERY IMPORTANT 

Hi everyone, I often get questions about the outline or format for the week 4 assignment.  All of your assignments from this point forward will follow the same basic format:

• Title Page
• Scholarly narrative section(s)
  • If there is only PM one tool for the week, you’ll have one, 1-2 page narrative section
  • If there are two PM tools, you’ll have a second section that starts immediately after the first, with an additional 1-2 pages
• Reference page
• Appendix 1: Attach your completed template
• Appendix 2: Attach your completed template (if there is a second)

When there are two PM tools, it doesn’t matter which order you list them.  Whatever order you discuss them in the narrative section should be the order they appear in the appendix.  I hope that helps! 

To help you even further, I have attached a communications plan assignment from a student in a previous section who did an outstanding job.  The attached exemplar earned a full credit score.  This should give you an idea of what I’m looking for. 

Search reputable local and national media for a man-made disaster to discuss.

Search for critical instances such as: hostage situations, mass shootings, multiple-vehicle or mass transit accidents with multiple critical injuries, and disease outbreaks.

In your initial post, describe the incident and address the following:

• Determine the incident type and explain your reasoning.
• What resources were deployed for this incident?
• What protocols were implemented successfully, and which were unsuccessful?
• Discuss way to improve the response to this type of incident in the future.

Support your answer with evidence. ​ Please provide a working link to your story source.

accrediting Bodies and Regulatory Agencies

Like a firework spreading out over the night sky, the history of accreditation overarches much of health care’s past. In the late 1800s, the emphasis on health care practices, procedures, and expectations was much like a fuse that propels a firework into the air. Uniformity of high quality standards was the new goal to reach. As this new goal ignited however, many different organizations and committees began to form, each branching out in its own direction. One association, the American Society of Superintendents of Training Schools of Nursing, pushed to equalize and elevate standards across all schools of nursing. Today, this association is known as the National League for Nursing (NLN), a specialized accrediting body for nursing programs. In 1913, another association, the American College of Surgeons (ACS), began to conduct on-site inspections of hospitals. Out of the 692 hospitals they visited, only 89 met their minimum quality standards. Like the NLN, the ACS continued to grow, later merging with what is known today as the Joint Commission.

In this Discussion, you explore the many accrediting bodies and regulatory agencies that accredit and certify academic and clinical settings.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources on accrediting bodies and the overarching accreditation process for academic settings.
• Review Chapter 2, “Curriculum Development and Approval Processes in Changing Educational Environments,”  in the Keating text. Consider how regulatory agencies accredit and certify clinical settings. In addition, consider why a clinical setting might seek accreditation or certification.
• Consider the setting your team is investigating for your Course Project. Using the websites listed in this week’s Learning Resources, as well as your own independent research, identify the accrediting body or regulatory agency from which your setting did or could seek accreditation/certification from.
• Select three standards from this accrediting body or regulatory agency. Conduct a self-study to determine if the setting could or did meet the standards required by this body or agency.
