NURS-FPX6218: Leading the Future of HealthCare Instructor’s Name October 2024

Planning for Community and Organizational Change

The identification of the health needs of the community is necessary to validate the provision of care and safety to the patients according to the needs of the community (Ernstmeyer & Christman, 2022). Determining health issues will help the community support network and other stakeholders to introduce practice change according to the requirements of the community members. The change of practice is effective in implementing strategies that efficiently address the health issues of the community and improve the health outcomes of the patients. The determination of the health needs of the Jordan located in the Minnesota community helps in the development of the change in practice plan needed to ensure the efficiency of the new practices in the community healthcare service for the betterment of the patient response. Proper planning and effective implementation of the change will generate results that are important for the patients of the community. Moreover, the process of implementation will help in the identification of the barriers affecting the change and the approaches that can be used to improve those barriers and convert them into opportunities (Alshwayat et al., 2022). Developing the understanding of the stakeholders to effectively evaluate the proposed changes and identify the budget needed for the change to ensure the sustainability of the change.

Implications of Proposed Healthcare System Change For Jordan

Jordan is a small town in which the rural areas are mostly deprived of most of the facilities including transportation which results in the delay in the treatment needed to provide to the patient for the improvement in the health situation. This transportation problem can be resolved using telehealth service which provides the functionality of maintaining the health situation of the patient at any place without having the patient move physically (Haleem et al., 2021). It will also save the cost for patients having financial problems who are unable to pay for daily hospital visits. The conduction of educational programs is necessary for the improvement of the education of the healthcare providers regarding the prevention of health diseases and effectively managing their health through removing the knowledge barrier and increasing self-management. Through the use of mobile applications, healthcare providers will be able to detect health problems early and provide timely treatment to patients.

Implications of Proposed Changes

The integration of healthcare services using telehealth will resolve the issue of ineffective health delivery due to transportation issues, especially in rural areas. The reduction in the disease will occur due to the increase in the self-management of the patients and the community will be more aware of the disease prevention strategies (Maina et al., 2023). The overall health needs of the community can be fulfilled with the implementation of mobile applications.

Outcomes of Proposed Changes

The reduction in the prevalence of chronic disease is one of the major outcomes of the proposed change in the Jordan clinical facility. The improvement in the knowledge level of the patients and increase in awareness regarding the management of diseases results in the reduction of chronic diseases at a large scale (Wu et al., 2023). Mobile applications increase access to healthcare services thus improving patient response.

Potential Barriers to Change

The identification of barriers in the implementation of changes is necessary to ensure that the new strategies are error-free and sustainable for the improved response of healthcare providers. The lack of knowledge of technology among the community members is the most significant barrier as it will create hindrances in the implementation of telehealth services. The cultural preferences of the patients will not let them give consent for the new technological treatment (Metallo et al., 2022). The lack of financial resources for the implementation of telehealth services also acts as a barrier in the way of proposed changes. The lack of training about the use of technology in the healthcare provider and other staff members creates difficulties for the implementation of telehealth. The technological integration always demands extra privacy and security which can be costly and advanced for the community services to integrate in the telehealth devices.

Causes of Resistance

The older people will not be able to access technological services and the difference of the services in the rural areas are the causes of resistance to technology. The trust issues of the people and the importance of cultural needs are also causing barriers. The high cost of telehealth devices creates financial problems for the community of St. Francis Health Services. The training schedules other than work will create the fear of adopting new technology and managing training sessions. The alignment of the technological integration with the rules and guidelines provided by the regulatory bodies is necessary and acts as a resistance as it needs effective practice.

Strategies for Changing Barriers into Opportunities

​​The integration of technological advancements in the clinical setting of Jordan can ensure the conversion of the barriers into the opportunities necessary for the improvement in the health response of the patients and resolving identified health issues (Berardi et al., 2024). Involving the people in the educational programs to increase knowledge through the conduction of workshops, training programs, and so on. Considering the cultural preferences of the people and integrating the cultural requirements in the change plan is the major factor for the resolution of the barriers and increasing the opportunities. Removing financial barriers is necessary for the implementation of the technology which is effective for the access of health services to the rural areas. Considering the concerns of the staff members regarding the implementation of technology is necessary to ensure that the change is effective. The most important factor is the management of the safety of the medical data of the patient collected through telehealth devices to ensure that the confidentiality of the patient is the priority of the healthcare organization.

Approach to Resolving Conflict

The conflicts regarding the implementation of telehealth services can be resolved by clearly communicating and providing support to the patients and community population for effective response. Engaging the stakeholders and getting feedback from the population of the community will help to resolve conflict regarding cultural technology integration (Maurer et al., 2022). Proper planning of the finances will be able to efficiently assign a budget for the implementation of the advanced health technologies. Involving the staff members in the decision-making process will ensure the effectiveness of the strategies implemented for change. Effective and accurate transparent policies should be implemented for the resolution of conflicts.

Strategy For Helping Organizational Stakeholders

The successful implementation of the proposed changes can be effective by properly delivering quality information to the stakeholders and for the better evaluation of the changes integrated into the clinical facility (Petkovic et al., 2020). Deliver proper information regarding the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders and ensure that they all participate in the board meetings. Provide clear and accurate data to the stakeholders regarding the outcomes of the patient using telehealth services and present the effectiveness of the cost management using proposed changes. Providing all the necessary information to the stakeholders and the decision makers so the gaps in practice can be effectively determined and improved before the implementation of the changes to ensure the cost saving and effectiveness of the change. Answer all the related questions of the decision-makers through the surveys and questionnaires and conduct the assessment of the impact of the changes on the clinical facility and the stakeholders. Conduct surveys in different situations using different technologies to identify the effectiveness of the change. Proper evaluation surveys should be developed to effectively evaluate the outcomes of the changes and frequent feedback should be taken from the patients and the stakeholders to evaluate the quality metrics (Schöpf et al., 2019). Involving the stakeholders in the process of making decisions for the implementation of the change of practices in the clinical setting is necessary to validate that all stakeholders know about the results and impacts of the changes.

Effects of Changes on Organization

The involvement of the stakeholders in the board meetings improves the communication between them and ensures that all the members are aware of their roles. Improved communication also ensures that the resources are identified and properly distributed among the stakeholders. The provision of data will ensure the effectiveness of the practices implemented to improve the health needs of the patients by clearing the confusion about the outcomes of the change and increasing confidence about the feasibility of the change (Klaic et al., 2022). The identification of information gaps helps in the prevention of damages that can occur in between the implementation of the change. The clear evaluation methods ensure the accountability of the outcomes. The stakeholders increased collaboration and involvement to ensure the prevention of errors and increase the effectiveness of the changes.

Grant Proposal and Associated Budget for Proposed Change

The implementation of the change can only be effective if proper measures are taken to ensure that the financial resources are adequate for the implementation of the changes in the clinical facility. The budget allocation ensures that the intervention of telehealth services required budget is identified and provided for the betterment of the health facilities in the rural areas of Jordan located in Minnesota. It will increase the access to healthcare facilities for rural people and enhance their level of satisfaction and well-being with the health services provided to them. The basic purpose of the change is to reduce the rate of hospital readmissions by providing quality health services to patients and increasing access to health services for the population having transportation issues and other potential barriers (Dhaliwal & Dang, 2024). The increasing rate of chronic diseases is also one of the major factors in the implementation of the change which includes the integration of telehealth services, mobile applications, and staff training along with patient education. The different costs include the cost of technology intervention, training programs, administrative expenses, and the cost of technology installation. The clear administration and availability of these cost factors are necessary for the success of the changes implemented.
