Sustainability Plan Worksheet An improvement team needs to consider the long-term sustainability of an improvement effort. This worksheet will help you outline the elements needed for a sustainability plan for your proposed evidenced-based quality and/or safety program design by taking you through a series of questions. By answering these questions, you will be able to develop a plan to ensure the longevity of the expected improvements from your proposed quality and/or safety program stick long-term. For each category, use the questions provided to help you draft the necessary components that will be needed in a sustainability plan. Use one or two concise sentences to inform on each bullet point/question. Provide scholarly and peer-reviewed support accordingly. Areas for Consideration Detailed Plan Measurement After project completion: What will you continue to measure? What will you stop measuring? What will you do if you see a negative effect? What will you do if you see the clinical significance, but no statistical significance? I will continue measuring stakeholder satisfaction. Measuring stakeholder satisfaction through third-party certification, inspection processes, and standards compliance will ensure the project continues to provide the highest standard of care possible (Newhouse, 2020). This measure will determine whether or not patients are receiving the high-quality care they expect and deserve after the completion of the project (Brooks-Carthon et al., 2019) I will stop measuring the incremental milestones because they will be less significant after the completion of the project. If I see a negative effect, I will review the effect and focus on making changes to achieve the preferred outcome. I will thus engage others to ensure brainstorming to make everyone’s voice heard in a prompt and professional manner to address the negative effect (Nguyen & Nagase, 2021). If I see a clinical significance but not a statistical significance, I will take note of it for further studies because it has an impact on clinical practice. Having clinical significance reflects that the project has an impact on clinical practice (Ranganathan et al., 2015). Ownership Who will own the new process that was implemented? How will you tell if the person is engaged and on board with the improvement process? The new process that will be implemented will be owned by the stakeholders. The stakeholders for the project will include the patients, families, caregivers, providers, staff, and administrators. In order to determine if the person is engaged and on board with the improvement process, I will assess 360-degree feedback. This will provide invaluable insights into the effectiveness of the onboarding process (O’Neil, 2020) Communication How will you communicate about the change and who will be the messenger? When will communication take place? How will you support individuals in the new process? What type of training will you use after project completion? Who will be responsible for that training? I will communicate the change by informing the stakeholders of the significance of the change and their roles in implementing the change to meet the set expectations. The messenger will be the change agents or change champions. Communication will occur regularly to control the fears or uncertainties due to the change. To support individuals in the new process, all stakeholders will be informed where they can get support and allowing them to share their views as individuals and as groups. Building a rapport and actively listening could also help to support the individuals during the new process. The type of training that will be used after project completion will be the refresher process. Refresher training will help to refresh the knowledge of the employees for shorter durations by attending short courses to cope with the requirements of the new process (Sullivan et al., 2019). The Human Resource (HR) Department will be responsible for training the employees Change Management How will you respond to resistance/barriers to change (“But this is how we have always done things.”) How would you use your evidence-based change model to ensure adoption and sustainability? How will you standardize the process so that it is easy to do the “new” right thing? I will respond to resistance/barriers to change, I will ensure that the employees undergo adequate training on ways to work in a team-based care model (VanVactor, 2018). Training will help to address the concerns of the employees and inform them of the benefits of implementing the project. The evidence-based change model will be used to ensure the adoption and sustainability of the project by following through with evidence-based steps to guide the implementation of the project. The care model will also help to motivate the stakeholders and address concerns using evidence-based steps. I will standardize the process so that it is easy to do the “new” right thing by refreezing the new processes into the organizational culture (Burnes & Bargal, 2017). Workload Is the change increasing the overall workload of the system? If so, how can you decrease the workload? If not, how will you communicate about what is changing and not changing? The change will increase the overall workload of the system because of the increased tasks intended to improve patient satisfaction. This may promote turnover intentions, absenteeism, and poor job performance because of low morale and burnout (Smith, 2018). To decrease the workload, some of the administrative tasks can be automated. Automating tasks will take off most of the administrative tasks from the nurses’ plates which will allow the nurses to spend more time providing higher-quality care to the patients (Kangasniemi et al., 2019).
