INSTRUCTIONS:

As stated in the syllabus present your assignment in an APA format word document, Arial 12 font attached to the forum in the discussion tab of the blackboard titled “Week 14 discussion questions” and the SafeAssign exercise in the assignment tab of the blackboard(which is mandatory).  A minimum of 3 evidence-based references besides the class textbook no older than 5 years must be used and quoted according to APA guidelines.  You must post two replies to any of your peers sustained with the proper references no older than 5 years in two different days to verify attendance and as well make sure the references are properly quoted and mention to whom you are replying to.  The reply is a comment to your peer, not an extension of what you posted in your assignment.  What I mean is that you can’t post in your replies the same that you posted in your assignment.   A minimum of 800 words is required.  Please make sure to follow the instructions as given and use either spell-check or Grammarly before you post your assignment.  I will also pay close attention to spelling and/or grammar.  Please review the rubric attached to the lecture.  You must present the assignment according to how it is posted, answering the questions by number and essay-style assignments will not be accepted unless otherwise specified.  I’ve been grading a lot of assignments with quite a few spelling/grammar errors.  As a BSN student, you should be able to present an assignment according to APA and without errors.  This reflects our University.

We are entering week 14 of our course which means we are entering the final curve and your performance in the class will influence your grade. As a student’s close graduation perhaps planning to continue graduate studies it is very important that you follow the instructions as given.

Please check your assignment after the week is due because I either made comments or ask for clarification in some statements.

Find a study published in a nursing journal in 2010 or earlier that is described a s a pilot study. Do you think the study really is a pilot study, or do you think this label was used inappropriately? Search forward for a larger subsequent study to evaluate your response.    

Discussion Rubric

The initial post will be regarding the topic of the week and will be a minimum of 250 words. Make sure you provide appropriate references and utilize APA style. 

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 ( 6-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation):

Change Implementation and Management Plan

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

Your narrated presentation should be 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.)

• 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 description of risk mitigation plans you would recommend to address the risks anticipated by the change you propose

By Day 2 of Week 11

Submit your narrated Change Implementation and Management Plan.

Provide a minimum of a two to three paragraph response that directly addresses your thoughts on their post. Describe how the results of the measures can be used for quality improvement in one of the following medical settings, physician office (ambulatory care),community health center and hospital

Post listed below:

JC (Joint Commission) 

            The mission statement that I have gathered about this organization is that of continuously improving healthcare for the public (The Joint Commission (n.d.). They take into consideration of that of the stakeholders, they evaluate the healthcare organization and inspire them to provide a safe and effectively high quality of care and value to all patients. The joint commission organization can be considered as an accreditation since it is an organization that is not for profit. I would say that the information that is collected and placed on the organizations websites is placed there for the external stakeholders so they can view all the changes that might happen to the organization on a regular basis. When it came to finding the quality improvement measures for this organization they were easy to find on the website just by using the search bar. The list of five improvement measures are data knows best, proper planning prevents poor performance, communicate, invest upfront, and don’t be a dinosaur (The Joint Commission (n.d.). To describe some of the improvement tools a little better than their titles like don’t be a dinosaur means be open to changes as that’s one of the main ways to make changes, data knows best means that data helps organizations make decisions when it comes to changes. Those were just a couple ways in which the joint commission sees fit for quality improvement tools.

CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services)

The mission statement for the CMS is to ensure that the voices and needs of the populations are present as the agency continues to develop, implement, and evaluate programs and policies (Mission-vision-our-work. (2019, June 19). The vision of the CMS organization is for all beneficiaries to receive the highest level of healthcare. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services organization can be considered or listed as being a governmental agency as it helps people all over the Unites States whether they have disabilities as a young person or they are getting ready to retire and start drawing social security. The information listed on the CMS website is like that of the joint commission it is on there so the external stakeholders can see all the information right when it changes. The quality measures for CMS are a little different than that of the joint commission organization. The list of quality improvements measures can be listed as clinical processes, patient safety, care coordination, health outcomes, patient engagement and clinical guidelines just to name some of them off.
