Change opportunities for leaders
Leaders seek out change opportunities regularly. Innovation, critical thinking, and decision making are key to making an impact on an organization. This assignment is designed to help you look at aspects of your own clinical practice and become a change agent in your organization. Use your current or past experience to identify a change project to implement.
Step 1: Select a topic [Process, policy, procedure, disaster management [Pandemic/Epidemic], and such, for a propossed change project.
Review the following resources for potential change topic or process ideas. On your paper, you can opt to propose implementation of on of these:
Institute for Healthcare Improvement: Transforming Care at the Bedside
Institute for Healthcare Improvement: Hospital Inpatient Waste Identification Tool
For process change resources: TeamSTEPPS® Pocket Guide
Step 2: Identify the context for your change (Where will the change project occur? Who will it impact?).
Describe the setting where the change will take place. For example, clinical, insurance, home health, or public and community.
Explain who is affected: patients, nurses, leadership, and other stakeholders in the organization.
Step 3: Review the literature to find possible solutions and evidence to address your topic (Support your actions with evidence).
Research sources that guide evidence-based practice to improve outcomes related to your selected topic.
Find a minimum of three peer-reviewed articles directly related to addressing your change topic.
Step 4: Create a draft implementation plan [Action plan described within your paper or presentation].
Summarize each article to explain how the evidence you gathered will help address your change topic.
Explain how you could use the information in the research to carry out the change in your identified setting.
Sample Solution
theorists and sociologists who have done their own primary research on these social media platforms and have gathered the findings themselves. This is the same for the articles that I found as they had made their own observations on what is on social media. These studies do not all give direct evidence, but all relate to the themes that I am looking into and allow room for assumptions. I explored the main themes that I identified when doing my research: marketing and social media, body image and bloggers which can all relate to the impact that social media has had on the fashion industry. The evidence that I found in these sources coincides well with what I found when doing my own investigation of social media and different brands profiles. The only limitations that some of the evidence may have are that they are based on personal opinion rather than fact. For further research I would like to find more figures to solidify and confirm the findings about social media.
