3CASE STUDY
Introduction
Emerald aged care is an organization that looks after aged care facilities, in which
residents can choose from 1-2 bedroom living facilities, and can also choose to live
independently. The first thing that has to be noticed in this organization is the fact that it has
been in the service for quite a long time, but the resources that it has gathered is not much.
The recent developments suggest that the organization is going under a crisis that requires
them to be sure of the fact that enough medical facilities are provided to the residents of the
organization. Although the organization has built up an in house healthcare agency to keep up
with the issue, the main thing that has to be noticed in this regard is the fact that there does
exist a lack of expertise from the nurses in dealing with the situations. The purpose of this
paper is to come up with an effective learning and development plan proposal for these
personnel to ensure that they are able to keep up with the current situation.
Discussion
Supporting continual development
The first thing that has to be done is to make sure that the nurses are properly
instructed on how to carry on with their work, in order to make sure that they are able to
sustain themselves in the process of their daily works, and are able to cater to the needs of the
organization in an effective manner. It is for this reason that the ADDIE model has to be
implemented in this regard.
The ADDIE model is a learning model that is purely based on identifying the
weaknesses in a process and addressing it accordingly in a custom manner. It is an
abbreviation for analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation, which are
simply the five stages of this model (Khalil & Elkhider, 2016).
