NRS 465 Week 7 Capstone Change Project Evaluation Plan Part II: Communication Plan How will the data collected be communicated to the team?
Part II: Communication Plan
| Communication is a core part of effective implementation of capstone change projects. Through communication, all stakeholders know the level of interventions and the expected outcomes. Communication enhances the attainment of set goals since each stakeholders knows their expected roles and responsibilities to attain the set goals and objective. In this project, the team will collect data using relevant tools; surveys, questionnaires, and self-reports by patients at every respective round (Leamy et al., 2023). As such, the team will collect appropriate data that will be transmitted to the organization’s management for effective change to integrate the suggested interventions.
The team will receive the collected data through reports and patient charts to show a decline or no changes in the number of falls a patient experiences in the facility. Nurses will document the collected data using the selected tools and transmit it daily, weekly, and monthly during the implementation of the proposed project (Allari et al., 2023). The collected data will then form a core part of the report on daily, weekly, and monthly-basis to determine the efficacy of the selected intervention to reduce patient falls. The project manager will work with the nurse manager to collect the data and communicate as fast as possible for effective documentation. Having a communication plan will be critical in determining the efficacy of the proposed intervention. |
Conclusion
Project evaluation is essential as it determines the effectiveness of the suggested intervention. In this case, the proposed intervention is purposeful hourly rounding to reduce patient falls in geriatric settings/units in healthcare facilities. The evaluation plan focuses on the attainment of set objectives and goals to reduce and prevent falls while also enhancing inter-professional collaboration among the different stakeholders in the facility. As illustrated, the evaluation will entail using appropriate tools to collect data for analysis in determining the effects of the suggested intervention.
