Questions to Consider

As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

• How might you engage stakeholders to help develop, implement, and sustain a vision to actually change and improve patient outcomes?
• What arguments might be most effective in obtaining agreement and support?
• What recommendations would you make to implement a proposed plan for change?

Assessment Instructions

This assessment is based on the work you have completed in the previous three assessments.

Preparation

The report you completed in the previous assessment has convinced the executive leadership team of the benefits to the organization of taking the next step toward changes aimed at improving outcomes and cultivating a culture of quality and safety. You have been asked to follow up your report with a presentation to administrative leaders and stakeholders that outlines your plan to develop or enhance the organization’s culture of quality and safety. A number of key stakeholders will be unable to attend your presentation for a variety of reasons, so you have decided to provide those individuals with a video recording of the presentation.

Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Planning for Change—A Leader’s Vision Scoring Guide. Be sure that your written analysis addresses each point, at a minimum.
