Application 4: Planning for Change, Implementing and Evaluating EBP Assignment
Planning for Change
Change can be difficult—and implementing new practices based on evidence can present challenges. How can you effectively prepare your work environment for change? What factors need to be considered (e.g., financial, legislative, systems)?
This week you begin working on Application 4, which builds on this week’s Discussion and is a continuation of your EBP Assignment. For this first section of the assignment, determine the factors that would impact stakeholders or end users as you create change and implement a new process/project to address your EBP issue.
Prepare for this week’s section of Application 4 as follows:
- Continue (from this week’s Discussion) to analyze the impact of implementing change in your practice environment. What factors need to be considered regarding stakeholders or end users? How would you communicate with them to address their questions or concerns? How would you enlist their support?
- Develop a summary of the methods you would use to ensure that those factors are adequately addressed.
