your organization. Part of this role will entail being a change
agent, and spurring positive change on behalf of patients,
colleagues, and the industry.
Consider a situation you experienced previously where change did
not go as planned in your health care organization. Create a 10-
15-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you will assess the
situation and the steps that should have been taken to
successfully implement change.
1. Describe the background of the situation, including the
rationale for and goal(s) of the change.
2. Identify the key interprofessional stakeholders (both internal
and external) that should be involved in change efforts.
3. Discuss an appropriate change theory or model that could be
used to achieve results.
4. Outline how you would initiate the change.
5. Describe the impact to the organization if the change
initiative is unsuccessful again, and potential steps the
interprofessional team could take if the change is unsuccessful.
Make sure to include slide notes of 100-250 words for each slide.

Organizational change can be something beneficial, or it can be harmful to an
organization, depending on is carried out. “Change undertaken without a supporting
rationale for improvement should be seriously questioned prior to their
implementation” (Porter-OGrady & Malloch, 2019). As an RN supervisor in a skill
nursing facility, I have seen change numerous amounts of times that has benefited
our department at times and other times has made a negative impact on the
hospital. Organization change is when a Company or organization going through a
transformation. Organization change occurs when business strategies or major
sections of an organization are altered. If you work in health care you must become
pretty comfortable with the idea of change because it happens all the time as new
things are being discovered. For example, our organization changed their entire
manufacture of insulin syringes to a new company due the fact that it was cheaper.
Doing so made for a horrible outcome because the syringes are not of good quality
and expensive. This change is not generally accepted, then it became a problem
across the board. . The goal is to explore the effectiveness of interprofessional
team-based learning to improve political astuteness in health profession. This
engaging method may prove to enhance health care professionals’ likelihood of
understanding, involvement, and influencing change policy in the future.
Emerging clinical leaders must be increasingly clear about changing aspects of
the environment that suggest the need for a different calibration of work, workplace,
and relationships (Davidson, Weberg, Porter-O’Grady, & Malloch, 2017).
They must be willing to explore self-directed, seamless, and integrated mechanisms
for practice, interdisciplinary relationships, delivery of care, and evaluation
of relationships with users (patients). In today’s just-in-time dynamic,
current real-time practice serves as a baseline for changing next-time practice.
Thus, for the practitioner, “the work I did today” informs “how I will do that
work differently tomorrow.” Much more horizontal and collaborative interaction
around this work and how it is performed will be a fundamental expectation of
all professional healthcare workers. Furthermore, individuals at the point of service
will need to be more self-directed and will require more integrated and supported
unit structures. Staff will need a stronger, more seamless, and horizontal
set of relationships, interactions, and structures to support the collaborative
point-of-service models of decision making, care delivery, and impact evaluation.
These much more self-directed, relational structures will require a different
management capacity and framework for advancing effective and integrated
patient care.

INTRODUCTION
The importance of including a variety of stakeholders in change initiatives aimed at
improving healthcare systems worldwide cannot be underestimated. The demands of
an aging population and a changing financial landscape have forced healthcare
stakeholders, such as decision makers and healthcare providers, to consider what
change is needed in the healthcare system and who should lead these changes.
Recently, there has been a move to introduce new primary care service delivery
models.
BACKGROUND
Stakeholders are any group or individual who can effect or are effected (sic) by the
achievement of the organization's objectives. The healthcare literature acknowledges
the importance of stakeholder participation in the adoption of innovations as part of
healthcare system change. Stakeholders have been recognized for their contributions
to policy decisions, and including stakeholders in change initiatives has several
benefits.
Stakeholders develop feelings of commitment, common values, trust, and satisfaction
with the change when they are engaged. Furthermore, these benefits include:
Increased public awareness and acceptance of society's problems, better decision
making regarding system change through the inclusion of relevant stakeholder
viewpoints, information and interests and increased legitimization of the change
However, the lack of stakeholder involvement, particularly voluntary participation in
change initiatives continues to be a concern. There is limited evidence describing
stakeholder motivations for volunteering in change initiatives and even less evidence
about what sustains their participation.

could be used to achieve results.
