Change Theory
What change theory/model and or leadership theory will you apply to your overall system setting/situation? Using your own words summarize the theory for the reader.
How would you apply the change and/or leadership theory? What is your analysis of the system setting and its readiness for change? (Please hesitate prior to using
Lewin's three step model of change. This theory was developed in the early 1950s. Ask yourself if it really fits for guiding a change in today's complex healthcare
environment.) Your change theory must be referenced. You may need to use a secondary source, but a primary (original source) is preferable. If you must use a secondary
source, please use correct APA formatting to let your readers know you are doing so.
Action Plan
What is your recommended action plan? Describe it fully and in your own words. Your required appendix to this section can be a concept map, a Gantt chart, or a chart
of your own choosing to illustrate timing of plan in the Appendix section. Explicitly describe how your change theory or model guides your Action Plan. The Action Plan
should be clear and detailed enough that someone else could step in and implement that change just using your plan content.
Evaluation
What measures or outcomes do you think will indicate that your change strategy has been effective and that the change will be sustainable? Be thorough in describing
how you will evaluate your action plan. Use references to help you strengthen this section. (Minimum of one reference, preferably from a nursing journal.)
Conclusion
Your conclusion section is typically a one paragraph wrap-up of the main points of your paper. Please remember to include what theory you are using as a guide to your
action plan. No references needed for this section.
References
Include your total reference list for both Part 1 and Part 2. If I have indicated that you need to make corrections in your APA for your reference citations, please
incorporate those corrections in this reference list along with any new citations you have from Part 2 of your paper.
