Transforming Care at the Bedside

Leaders seek out change opportunities regularly. Innovation, critical thinking, and decision making are key to making an impact on an organization. This assignment is designed to help you look at aspects of your own clinical practice and become a change agent in your organization. Use your current or past experience to identify a change project to implement.

• Describe the setting where the change will take place. For example, clinical, insurance, home health, or public and community.
• Explain who is affected: patients, nurses, leadership, and other stakeholders in the organization.

• Research sources that guide evidence-based practice to improve outcomes related to your selected topic.
• Find a minimum of three peer-reviewed articles directly related to addressing your change topic.

• Summarize each article to explain how the evidence you gathered will help address your change topic.
• Explain how you could use the information in the research to carry out the change in your identified setting.
