After discussion with your preceptor, name one financial aspect, one quality aspect, and one clinical aspect that need to be taken into account for developing the evidence-based change proposal. Explain how your proposal will directly and indirectly impact each of the aspects.
The proposed evidence-based change in this project is the adoption of health educational initiatives by nurses to create awareness and inspire healthy lifestyles for obese adolescents at school, at home, and in community settings, to reduce obesity rates. After discussing with my preceptor, I identified financial, quality, and clinical aspects that need to be considered when implementing the project. The financial aspect identified entails the determination of the potential of the project to reduce the health care cost of managing childhood obesity. Change projects and healthcare transformation heavily focus on the provision of quality and cost-effective care. Therefore, this project aims to create positive changes in the healthcare system by reducing the cost of managing and treating obesity by ensuring patients adopt lifestyle changes to reduce obesity rates (Vazquez & Cubbin, 2020).
The quality aspect that requires consideration is the establishment of the capability of the proposed change project to foster the expected health outcomes such as creating awareness for obesity self-management and enhancing the quality of life among obese adolescents (Zolotarjova et al., 2018). The impact of the project on the quality aspect involves enhancing the quality of life by providing obesity awareness to foster self-management skills. In turn, the project will help in ensuring the quality of care, improve patient outcomes, increase patient satisfaction, and reduce costs of care.

The clinical aspect to be considered is the availability of proficient human resources to steer the project implementation. Today, the healthcare industry faces a severe shortage of healthcare workforce. As such, the project should consider engaging services of nursing staff with a proper skill mix. Deploying skilled and competent nurses is vital for the success of this project (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2019). However, failing to deploy enough nurses could lead to a poor skill mix and unwarranted work burden on the existing nursing staff, which can cause barriers in the implementation process.
