Developing an Implementation Plan
Consider the population in which the solution is intended, the staff that will participate, and the key
contributors that must provide approval and/or support for your project to be implemented. These
stakeholders are considered your audience.
Develop an implementation plan (1,500-2,000 words) using the “Topic 3: Checklist” resource. The
elements that should be included in your plan are listed below:
Method of obtaining necessary approval(s) and securing support from your organization’s leadership and
fellow staff.
Description of current problem, issue, or deficit requiring a change. Hint: If you are proposing a
change in current policy, process, or procedure(s) when delivering patient care, describe first the
current policy, process, or procedure as a baseline for comparison.
Detailed explanation of proposed solution (new policy, process, procedure, or education to address the
problem/deficit).
Rationale for selecting proposed solution.
Evidence from your Review of Literature in Topic 2 to support your proposed solution and reason for
change.
Description of implementation logistics (When and how will the change be integrated into the current
organizational structure, culture, and workflow? Who will be responsible for initiating the change,
educating staff, and overseeing the implementation process?)
Resources required for implementation: staff; educational materials (pamphlets, handouts, posters, and
PowerPoint presentations); assessment tools (questionnaires, surveys, pre- and post-tests to assess
knowledge of participants at baseline and after intervention); technology (technology or software
needs); funds (cost of educating staff, printing or producing educational materials, gathering and
analyzing data before, during, and following implementation), and staff to initiate, oversee, and
evaluate change.
