Assignment: Change Implementation and Management Plan
It is one of the most cliché of clichés, but it nevertheless rings true: The only constant is change. As a nursing professional, you are no doubt aware that success in the healthcare field requires the ability to adapt to change, as the pace of change in healthcare may be without rival.
As a professional, you will be called upon to share expertise, inform, educate, and advocate. Your efforts in these areas can help lead others through change. In this Assignment, you will propose a change within your organization and present a comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and identify one change that you believe is called for in your organization/workplace.
This may be a change necessary to effectively address one or more of the issues you addressed in the Workplace Environment Assessment you submitted in Module 4. It may also be a change in response to something not addressed in your previous efforts. It may be beneficial to discuss your ideas with your organizational leadership and/or colleagues to help identify and vet these ideas.
Reflect on how you might implement this change and how you might communicate this change to organizational leadership.
The Assignment (5-6-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation):
Change Implementation and Management Plan
Create a 5- or 6-slide narrated PowerPoint that presents a comprehensive plan to implement changes you propose.
Your narrated presentation should be 5–6 minutes in length.
Your Change Implementation and Management Plan should include the following:
An executive summary of the issues that are currently affecting your organization/workplace (This can include the work you completed in your Workplace Environment Assessment previously submitted, if relevant.)
A description of the change being proposed
Justifications for the change, including why addressing it will have a positive impact on your organization/workplace
Details about the type and scope of the proposed change
Identification of the stakeholders impacted by the change
Identification of a change management team (by title/role)
A plan for communicating the change you propose
A description of risk mitigation plans you would recommend to address the risks anticipated by the change you propose.

Workplace Environment Assessment I submitted in Module 4
Discussion: Workplace Environment Assessment
Healthcare organizations are instrumental systems in communities since all individuals depend on them to have improved individual and community health outcomes. Therefore, ensuring healthcare organizations have a healthy and civil workplace environment is vital. The Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory is a strategic tool that can assess the degree of healthiness and civility in a healthcare organization. This provides an opportunity for mitigating issues that may promote incivility, thereby making the organization unhealthy.
Civility in my workplace.
The results of the workplace environment assessment suggest that the health and civility of my workplace are lacking. A healthy and civil workplace environment is characterized by high performance and productivity (Dutta & Chatterjee, 2020). Therefore, the results revealing that the organization is moderately healthy and civil provided a rationale for why my healthcare organization has had low performance and practitioner productivity in the past years. This suggests incorporating strategies to ensure the organization is healthy and civil, thereby maximizing productivity and performance.
My workplace experienced a lack of leadership and a non-conducive organizational culture. The lack of good leadership can promote incivility, unhealthy working conditions, inadequate patient care, and increased medical costs (Clark, Olender, Cardoni, & Kenski, 2011). According to the results, the leadership within my healthcare organization is ineffective. This revealed the need for leadership changes, such as transformational leadership, to promote a healthy workplace environment (Broome & Marshall, 2020). The scores also showed that the organizational culture within the healthcare organization, from a practitioner’s perspective, is not conducive. Therefore, this has limited the maximization of productivity and performance.
Incivility experienced
Workplace incivility can cause physical or psychological trauma. I have never faced incivility before; however, I have witnessed others face such situations. I used to work in a nursing home with various medical doctors and one nurse practitioner responsible for these residents. Most doctors were polite, but one was rude and disrespectful to the nurses. The rude Doctor will scream at the nurses anywhere, anytime he comes to the facility. One day a patient became sick, unable to eat, and had nausea and vomiting. The primary nurse called the rude Doctor and left several messages in his voicemail. The nurse practitioner went and assessed the patient and wrote a couple of orders for the ill resident. When the Doctor came in the following day, he was agitated and started yelling at the nurse practitioner at the nursing station where some residents were seated. The nurse practitioner did not respond to the Doctor but calmly emailed the manager and copied the medical director. The manager, of course, did not respond to the email. The medical director had a meeting with the practitioners, the manager, and the staff addressed the issue of civility. After a few months, the rude Doctor stopped coming to that facility.
Conclusion
The healthcare organization can adopt the DESC Model to mitigate incivility incidents. For example, in an incivility incident, such as explosive anger or harsh criticism, the four processes of the DESC Model can be used to identify the cause. Also, the model can be incorporated into tailoring interventions to mitigate existing and future incivility.
