Week 7 Discussion: Stakeholders
The purpose of this discussion is for the DNP students to demonstrate an understanding of
how stakeholders influence practice change. You will continually gain experience considering
the organization and national stakeholders and how they influence sustained practice change.
1. Identify and examine the organization and/or community stakeholders you
anticipate will be a part of the interprofessional team when implementing your
future practice change project.
2. Integrate your key stakeholders into the constructs from the traditional science
model that you identified in Week 6
3. Analyze the barriers you might experience with these stakeholders with the
proposed practice change.

Identify and examine the organization and/or community stakeholders you anticipate will
be a part of the interprofessional team when implementing your future practice change
project.
There are many individuals and groups that would be involved in the change to promote a future
practice change project, from the unit to the individual hospital building and finally the entire
hospital system that the individual entity is a part of. The primary stakeholder for the foundation
is the patient. Patients with heart failure (HF) will be affected by the implementation of the
project and are at the heart of the program for ultimate success. Including them and
understanding their perspective before implementing a practice change project is essential.
Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) is a monumental piece of successful practice change in the
healthcare system. (Quanbeck, 2019). Different professional groups work together to achieve the
result of sustaining the improvement of care through evidenced based practice and support to
continue real change. To achieve the change of follow-up support for patients with heart failure
many individuals need to be involved. Before the program would even begin, work needs to be
done at the system level, coordinating with nurse and physician leaders to discuss the problem
of readmission rates for heart failure patients, introduce follow-up interventions and then
identify potential barriers together (Quanbeck, 2019). Once the team at the system level has
begun the work, then the hospital level needs to develop. At the hospital level, individuals that
could be involved in supporting healthcare change for follow-up for patients with heart failure
