NURS6053: Module 5 – Week 11 Assignment

Assignment: Change Implementation and

Management Plan

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 (5-6-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation):
Change Implementation and Management Plan
Create a narrated PowerPoint presentation of 5 or 6 slides with video that presents a
comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose.
Your narrated presentation should be 5–6 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.)
● A description of the change being proposed

● Justifications for the change, including why addressing it will have a positive
impact on your organization/workplace
● 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 plan for communicating the change you propose
● A description of risk mitigation plans you would recommend to address the risks
anticipated by the change you propose
