Assignment: Promoting Change
You have a friend that is the manager of an IMCU in another state. Your friend, Rebecca, tells you about the new system at her hospital, with small modular nursing stations in the halls. She tells you how successful it has been in preventing falls, decreasing the time running to get things, and, generally, in decreasing confusion and congestion. It sounds like a great idea, so you do a literature review of research on this modular concept. You now have literature to back up your contention that this would be an effective solution to some problems at your institution.
1- How does the organizational structure at your institution work?
2-If you thought that this change would be beneficial, how would you go about introducing it?
3-How would the culture of "they" impact the process? ("They" usually refers to the powers that be.)
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
