This report analyzes a change initiative within Allied Health Care, driven by the need to improve services and customer satisfaction. It discusses the application of Kurt Lewin's Change Management Model (Unfreeze, Change, Refreeze) to implement improvements, such as a 24-hour feedback corner. The report highlights the importance of participative leadership in understanding team member perspectives and making informed decisions. It acknowledges the challenges of organizational change but emphasizes its necessity for competitive advantage and long-term sustainability. The report also identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) associated with Allied Health Care, including personalized care, cost-effective services, patient wait times, and staff dissatisfaction. The goal of the initiative is to enhance pressure ulcer prevention through consistent care plans and regular evaluations.

Introduction

purpose of instructing changes in creating, implementing and
sustaining the successful plans for the project of change. The chosen
organisation for this poster is Allied Health Care which is located in
United Kingdom.
Leadership And Management For Health
Change Initiative
Allied Health care is planning to bring the change in their service by
introducing the service of 24 hours feedback corner under which the
management of hospital receive feedback from customers and bring
modifications in their services as per the requirements of customers
(Shogren, Schalock and Luckasson, 2018).
Rationale/drivers for the change, why needed
Allied Health care is required to bring the changes because of bringing
improvement in their services. As the feedback gathered from the
people help them in providing improved services to their customers.
Pressure ulcer prevention in the care home setting can be challenging
and is often compromised by a lack of access to education and
resources. There are measures that have been shown to consistently
improve outcomes in pressure ulcer prevention including assessment
of the patient and their individual risks, delivery of a consistent plan of
care that meets patients' needs, and regular evaluation to identify
shortfalls.

Reflection
While adopting the changes in the hospital, I am going to use the
participative leadership style as it help me in knowing about the
perspectives of my team members as well. Under the application of
participative approach of leadership, I will discuss about the changes
with my team members and it will result in getting me the perception
of several employees towards the change. Along with this, I can take
the effective decisions because all the employees have different
knowledge and experience and it implies several new thoughts and
ideas as well.
Readiness for change
Strength: The strength of Allied Health Care is the higher success rate
and personalised care as it help them in gaining the higher attention of
people.
Opportunity: Providing the health services in the cost effective manner
is the huge opportunity for Allied Health Care.
Weakness: The patient have to wait for long time is the weakness of
organisation.
Threat: Staff dissatisfaction is the threat of health care home.
Conclusion
From the above presentation poster, it has been concluded that the
adoption of changes in the organisation is not an easy task but it is
necessary to bring changes in order to gain the competitive
advantage and long term sustainability as well. Lewins change model
