Safety & Quality Improvement Initiative in Clinical Practice Change

This report identifies and justifies the need for a safety and quality improvement (QI) initiative requiring change in clinical practice, utilizing SWOT analysis to assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It reviews relevant literature, evidence-based practice standards, and guidelines to support the QI initiative, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based management (EBM) and evidence-based nursing practice (EBNP). The report explores Kotter's 8-step process for leading change in relation to implementing the QI initiative, focusing on creating urgency, building a guiding coalition, forming a strategic vision, enlisting a volunteer army, removing barriers, generating short-term wins, sustaining acceleration, and instituting change. Furthermore, it includes a reflection and evaluation of personal leadership style and capabilities, identifying areas for development and presenting a plan for enhancing leadership skills through online workshops, reading, and research, with the ultimate goal of contributing to organizational goals and potentially building a healthcare company.
