Implementation Plan
The purpose of this paper is to provide an implementation plan considering the population, in which the solution is intended, the personnel that will partake, as well as the main contributors that have to provide approval and/or support for my project to be carried out. This implementation plan covers the method that would be used to obtain the necessary approvals and securing support from the leadership of the healthcare organization and my colleagues therein. It also contains detailed description of the current problem, comprehensive explanation of the proposed solution, and rationale as to why the proposed solution was selected. Furthermore, this implementation plan provides a description of the implementation logistics, as well as the resources needed for implementation.
Method of obtaining approvals and securing support
It is notable that for this project to be successful, support from the key stakeholders who in this case include the administration of the hospital and colleagues at the workplace including the healthcare team members such as physicians, nurses and assistants is crucial. These key stakeholders are essential given that they have to approve and/or support the project for it to be carried out. Together with adults who have undergone Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery, also understood as Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), the healthcare team members and the management of the healthcare organization comprise the audiences of this project. Support would be obtained from these key contributors by making clear to them the justification and basis for the proposed solution, as well as the reasons why it is essential and needed in the hospital. In essence, the hospital’s managers and leadership, as well as physicians, nurses and assistants would be informed about the value of change and the way that the healthcare organization is going to benefit as a result of the change. It is noteworthy that low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is effective in the prevention of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) following total knee replacement. The use of LMWH is more effective relative to other therapies such as mechanical prophylaxis in preventing DVT. The prevention of deep-vein thrombosis is of considerable importance given that it will save the patients substantial medical costs and help enhance the quality of life of the patient (Blanchard et al., 2010).
Other than enlightening the management of the healthcare institution in addition to physicians, nurses and assistants about the potential benefit of the proposed change, they will also be encouraged to express their concerns, if there are any, about the proposed change which would be addressed in an adequate, unambiguous and explicit manner (Lane, 2010). Basically, there would be less chance of resistance to the proposed change when all their worries about the proposed change are overtly and amply addressed, when staffs are sufficiently involved and consulted, and when they are properly informed about the justification for the change. As such, they will without doubt approve that change and support it. Consulting and involving all staff members during the project will ensure that they all ...
