I uploaded the template and instruction for this assignment and attached them to this order. This class is one big project so this project has to pertain to the previous assignments you completed for me.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
NURS-RN 425 Assignment 3 Instructions: Planning for the Leading Change QI Project
Applying the Leading Change Framework Part 2: Describe your ongoing plans to implement the three elements of the Leading Change Framework: Being Strategic; Engaging People and Managing the Project (adapted from Skelton-Green, Simpson, & Scott, 2007). Review the article again before answering. Your increased knowledge of the organization often will cause you to read the information with new awareness. Build on the information you listed for these 3 sections when you developed Assignment 1.
BEING STRATEGIC
(1) What are the underlying values most important to the successful completion of this project? In other words, what key principles drive the need for this change, and are these values congruent with the agency’s stated mission/vision/philosophy?
Examples of values that may drive the need for change in healthcare organizations are patient safety, respect, patient autonomy, staff empowerment, quality of services, cost-effective care, etc.
(2) Thoughtfully compare your perceptions of the underlying values of your project with that of the agency mission/vision/philosophy which you identified in Assignment 1.
ENGAGING PEOPLE
(1) Think about how you would bring a team together to implement your project. List essential members of your team, and state why they are needed on your team.
Your team will be composed of yourself and other agency staff members who will collectively take responsibility for implementing the project. Often, your team will include multidisciplinary team members with skills needed for the project’s success.
Use this template to organize your team.

(2) How could you involve people who are supportive of your project?
(3) How could you interest people who are neutral about your project?
(4) What strategies could you use to address resistance to your project?
MANAGING THE PROJECT
(1) Identify the key activities needed to develop and implement your project.
The greatest challenge for students is to select a project that can realistically be completed within the limits of the course time frame. Often, your project is only a piece of a much larger and more complicated project, and your anticipated activities should reflect its limited scope. Remember, you should take responsibility only for those activities which you can reasonably manage in the time you can control.
(2) List your proposed activities for completing your Leading Change QI Project. Include proposed meetings (live, phone or virtual contact), anticipated work at the clinical agency, and other activities anticipated times that would be spent in clinical agency, and due dates for course assignments. (This is a proposed schedule designed to help organize your project if you were implementing it.)
Congratulations! By completing Assignments 1, 2 and 3, you now have a working plan for implementing your project!
