Section headings for each section component are required. Evaluation of the proposal in all sections will be based upon the extent to which the depth of content reflects graduate-level critical thinking skills.
This project contains seven formal sections:
- Section A: Organizational Culture and Readiness Assessment
- Section B: Proposal/Problem Statement and Literature Review
- Section C: Solution Description
- Section D: Change Model
- Section E: Implementation Plan
- Section F: Evaluation of Process
Each section (A-F) will be submitted as a separate assignment in Topics 1-6 so your instructor can provide feedback (refer to applicable topics for complete descriptions of each section).
The final paper submission in Topic 7 will consist of the completed project (with revisions to all sections), title page, abstract, compiled references list, and appendices. Appendices will include a conceptual model for the project, handouts, data and evaluation collection tools, a budget, a timeline, resource lists, and approval forms, as previously assigned in individual section assignments.
Answer preview
Change is inevitable, and organizations need to ensure that they are open to or ready to change. By embracing change, organizations benefit from numerous benefits, including improving their efficiency and productivity. Failure for an organization to embrace change, they lose their market share to their competitors, and they may be eventually driven out of business. Also, it creates a bad reputation for its customers as they feel dissatisfied with the services provided. Health organizations need to assess their readiness for change before implementing new procedures, technologies, or policies. A change readiness assessment helps the management to gauge the organization’s preparedness to change. When implementing an Evidence-Based Project (EBP), the administration needs to review different organization components, including organizational culture, knowledge and skills, resources, etc. In this assignment, the “Organizational Readiness for Change Assessment (ORCA) tool” was applied to evaluate the organization’s readiness to change. ORCA is a tool proposed by Sharp and Sales (Lee, Hwang, & Lee, 2019).
