nsg6630 -Evidence-Based Organizational Change
Typically it takes seventeen years to get nursing research from the “bench to the bedside,” and this is entirely too long! Just think of the compromises or “missteps” in nursing care that could negatively impact patient satisfaction and patient outcomes. Organizational change, as well as nursing care, must be grounded in evidence-based strategies at all times. It can be challenging to seek out and apply evidence-based knowledge for clinical practice, operational issues, and nursing leadership. Nurse leaders must have quality time to ponder, review, locate, analyze, and synthesize evidence-based resources to guide practice and organizational change. Nurse leaders must be able to apply effective evidence-based strategies to foster and promote quality care and achieve the organizational mission and strategic outcomes. Nurse leaders must also be able to clearly communicate change to multiple key stakeholders within the healthcare organization. One of the ways to communicate change is to prepare an executive summary describing the proposed change.
This week, you will begin preparing an executive summary of an evidence-based organizational change to improve one aspect or focus of the healthcare organization’s strategic plan. You will also present your rationale for implementing the evidence-based practice change.
The purpose of this assignment is to assess your progress on the final executive summary due in Week 10. This assignment provides you the opportunity to self-assess and determine any issues or challenges that need to be resolved prior to completing and submitting the final nsg6630 -Evidence-Based Organizational Change assignment.
