APRN HEALTH RELATED/ IN PRIMARY CARE SETTING HELPING PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC DISEASES.
Now that you have an idea of the critical questions, the common barriers, and the important principles associated with implementing change, you should be able to strategize your implementation plan more savily.
There are four steps to the development of an effective plan for implementing change:
- Create awareness and interest
- Build knowledge and commitment
- Promote action and adoption
- Pursue integration and sustained use
Keeping these steps in mind, you will create an implementation plan for your proposed practice change or improvement project.
Tasks
Download the implementation plan template (Word)Links to an external site., make a copy with your name in the title, and complete the following steps.
Review the assigned reading by Cullen et al., Iowa Framework and StrategiesLinks to an external site.– Website: Iowa Implementation for Sustainability Framework
- See the following resources: Implementation Strategies (PDF)Links to an external site. and Implementation Framework (PDF)Links to an external site.. wEBSITE
- Review a student example of an implementation plan (PDF)Links to an external site. -SCREENSHOTS BELOW OF STUDENT EXAMPLE
- Review the grading rubric.
- Complete all four sections of the plan:
- Gaining support from front-line staff
- Gaining support from key decision-makers and stakeholders
