Illustration
Please do not use any of the Nurse Daniel information for your own topic, nursing intervention, or change project. Nurse Daniel serves as an example only to illustrate the change process.
Daniel has successfully presented his change process proposal to the Unit Council and has received support for this practice change for the 6 month time period. He decided to invite two of the informal nurse leaders from his unit to the Unit Council meeting. They have been asked to serve as unit champions throughout the change process. This helped Daniel ensure these nurses were supportive of the plan and were willing to be involved. He understands the great influence informal leaders have and how valuable they are to the process. The Unit Council members accepted the idea of nurse champions to assist. This meeting helped reinforce the goals and the roles and responsibilities of those involved in this interprofessional team.
Daniel and the designated unit champions meet to discuss the tracking process involved in implementing this change. They will be using a form for tracking outcomes during this trial. The unit champions will be assisting in tracking data as well as the nurse response times to fluctuations in patient vital signs or lab findings. At the end of this implementation in 6 months, the results will be compared to the stated measurable outcome goals in order to determine success of the change.
Daniel and his Unit Manager discuss the specific elements they want to include in ongoing education sessions with the staff. They will need to collaborate with the Nursing Education Director to plan this weekly series. Daniel is also interested in receiving staff feedback throughout the process and thinks the education sessions might serve as a time to survey staff or have a discussion.
Moving forward in the process, Daniel schedules his meeting with the Nursing Education Director to outline content. In these sessions, he is wanting to review policies and protocols already in place and emphasize best practices for central line infection prevention. Meanwhile, his Unit Manager agrees to work with the Chief Nursing Officer and other leaders to coordinate scheduling for unit staff to attend the educational sessions.
Consider the TEACH Values that Chamberlain College of Nursing (CCN) supports throughout the organization (Adtalem Global Education, n.d.).
