L160 MOM 1 Task 1 Paper

The implementation phase of a proposed project is one of the most important phases. The implication is that various implementation aspects have to be considered and checked. For example, there should be appropriate leadership for the implementation to succeed. Leaders have to apply effective leadership strategies to advance the improvements (Paulmakesh & April, 2021). Indeed, there should also be appropriate implementation training, project management, and reporting. As such, the purpose of this write-up is to explore the proposed project’s pre-implementation field experience. Various aspects will be discussed, including the kick-off meeting agenda, the leadership strategies to be used during the kick-off meeting to encourage the project team members to support the implementation, and a training plan for staff. The other ones include validating the training plan, applying project management strategies in the management of the proposed HIP implementation, and describing various reporting methods that may be used to provide project status updates.

Agenda and Leadership Strategies

The kick-off meeting was important and key in planning the implementation phase of the proposed project (Sousa et al., 2017). During the meeting, various aspects were discussed, including the project background, timeline, action items, role clarification, and responsibilities of the project team. The proposed project focuses on using the technological solution to reduce patient falls among patients with dementia in a hospital setting (Ganz & Latham, 2020). As such, the project aims to follow various project management strategies. The projected timeline for the proposed project is six months.

The action items discussed include planning, literature search and review, project design, implementation, and follow-up. These action items present the major actions performed in the project cycle. The implementation of the project also requires that various main and supporting roles are clarified to eliminate any confusion that could exist in the process (Sligo et al., 2017). Therefore, the roles important roles were clarified in the meeting, as well as the responsibilities of the project team.

One of the key aspects of implementing a health improvement project is ensuring that the team members are all on board and are supporting the project. Therefore, it is important to use effective leadership strategies to encourage the project team members to be supportive of the implementation of the proposed health improvement project (Ginter et al., 2018). One strategy is to set a clear agenda. When the agenda is clear, it leaves the team members with little or no doubt about the implementation’s direction. This will make it highly likely for them to support the implementation. The other strategy is to share the vision with clear and convincing statements (Aij & Rapsaniotis, 2017). This will be key in enabling the team to buy into the vision and support the implementation process. Again I will employ strategies such as the establishment of individuals’ accountability, focusing on key tasks, and focusing on excellence.

Training Plan

Training is an integral part of ensuring that the team participates fully in the success of the project (Harwood, 2017). As such, it is important to include key topics, training methods, the training schedule, and the training outcomes. Various key topics will form the backbone of the training program; among them are why it is important to prevent patient falls and the responsibility of every team member in preventing falls. The training will also cover topics such as why a feasibility study should be undertaken and the needs assessment.

The targeted training methods include mentorships, programmed instruction, lectures, and cases studies (Medeiros et al., 2018). The application of the vast training methods will be key in ensuring that every team member understands the needs of the project and how to effectively participate to ensure that there is a success. It is also projected that training will be done for one week, Monday to Friday, for one hour every day. Due to various commitments of the team members, it will be appropriate to conduct the training in the evenings. It is also important to have training outcomes that can be key in evaluating whether the training was successful or not (Roy et al., 2020). The outcomes will be evaluated at the end of every training session every day; one of the targeted outcomes is increased knowledge scores among the team members.

Validation of Training Plan

Validation of a training plan is key in ensuring that the right training methods are used since using the right training ensures that every team member performs in the best way possible to ensure that the implementation of the proposed project is as smooth as possible. Central to ensuring the occurrence of such is performing a validation exercise using the right methods (Monteleone, R., & Klarmann, 2021). Therefore, various steps will be followed in the validation process. In the first phase, the practical activities will be identified to ensure that the right activities are in place. This will be followed by encouraging the team members to participate in case studies and group works. I will then ensure that there is a partnership between the facility and my institution. The final step will entail procurement of the services of a content expert for the acquisition of the strategic insight.

 Proposed Project Implementation and Control Field Experience

Project Proposal Journal

The management of the proposed HIP implementation process requires the use of effective and appropriate strategies. One of the ways or strategies is the use of a journal (Klein & Müller, 2020). The journal will have a project plan which defines the timeline to be followed for the success of the project. In addition, the journal will also have various aspects such as action items, role clarification, and responsibility of the team members, the training outcomes, training methods, and the key topics. In addition, the time management plan will have to reflect the kind of assessment to use, date, venues, and the exact time for various activities (Meredith et al., 2017). Central to the management is also the determination of the topics to be handled on a daily basis and recording the same in the journal

Project Management Strategy

The project management strategy will be important for the health improvement project as it should be treated as other projects. Therefore, using these strategies will ensure that the right standards are set and are in place for the project (Kerzner, 2020). Therefore, various strategies will be applied. One of them is the identification of barriers and timeously eliminating them. These barriers can derail the implementation process and eventually lead to failure if not addressed well; therefore, they will be identified and remediated with the help of an expert.

A rapid cycle improvement modification will also be undertaken through quality improvement prioritization as part of the process. Monitoring and supporting the staff will also be key to ensuring that everyone performs their duty. A Reward system, effective communication, and encouragement will be used to support them (Portny, 2017). The project schedule is important in ensuring that the project is on track; therefore, monitoring will be done by comparing what has been achieved with what is planned in the schedule.

The project also has a budget that needs to be followed. Therefore budget monitoring will also be performed to ensure that no unnecessary waste takes place. The other strategy that will be used is setting the standard operating procedures that need to be followed to ensure that the project adheres to or comply with the organizational practices and standards and industry standards.

Project Status Reporting Methods

Project status is a key aspect of the implementation process as it reveals to the team how far the team is and what needs to be done to ensure that the project is a success. The implication is that appropriate strategies should be used for reporting the updates to the project team members when holding routine project meetings (Kumar, 2018). One of the methods to be used in report writing. Report writing entails recording various project activities such as accomplishments and misses and detailing what might have caused the misses and what should be done going forward to ensure that there is success. Presenting the project’s status numerical aspects will be accomplished using standard statistical tools and software such as excel, which will be used to quickly generate reports which can be presented during the meetings. It is important to note that these data should be presented in the simplest forms to ensure that everyone comprehends and understands them for better performance and the program’s success.

Conclusion

            Successful implementation of a health improvement project requires that a nurse leader takes proactive steps and applies effective leadership strategies in every step. Therefore, it is important to use the best leadership strategies to ensure that every team member is encouraged to participate fully in the project and perform appropriate functions during the whole process. As such, various aspects of the implementation process have been explored. Among them is the training plan, which will be used to set the participants or the team members on the right paths towards accomplishing their roles and ensuring that they contribute to the collective course of the project. Various project management strategies that can be used during the project management journey, as well as the project status reporting, have all been explored.
