Organizational Culture and Readiness Assessment

Abstract
Health care facilities experience various challenges in the quest to provide efficient medical services to patients. One of the most common challenges is the occurrence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) amongst the patients. The act of finding solutions to such infections such as CAUTI is crucial owing to their significant contribution to the mortality rate amongst hospitalized patients. The existence of HAI proves to be costly not only to patients but also to the healthcare facility administration. This paper provides a proposed methodology on how to tackle the relationship that exists between effective nurse management and HAI cases. The evidence-based practice proposal covers the proposed plan for an EBP project that is designed to provide a solution to the HAI problem within patient rooms at the hospital organization. Despite the availability of several types of evidence capable of providing the required solution, there is a need for compelling and evidently sufficient support from peer-reviewed studies that act as the basic component of the proposed evidence. The proposal comprises of seven different sections starting with organizational culture and readiness assessment, problem statement, literature review, solution description, change model, an implementation plan with the seventh section providing the evaluation process.
