Implementation Plan, Capstone Project Example

1) Describe the setting and access to potential subjects. If there is a need for a consent or approval form, then one must be created. Although you will not be submitting the consent or approval form(s) in Module 5 with the narrative, the consent or approval form(s) should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.

The setting here is a hospital or a health institution. The potential subjects who are considered relevant in this study are the targeted patients, physicians, nurses, and medical research institutions, medical students, patient’s caretakers, department of health and the Agency for healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The access to these personalities can be obtained by requesting their special consent to carry out this research study.

2) Describe the amount of time needed to complete this project. Create a timeline. Make sure the timeline is general enough that it can be implemented at any date. Although you will not be submitting the timeline in Module 5 with the narrative, the timeline should be placed in the appendices for the final paper (Griffiths, 2009).

The following activities may be needed in the timeline:

1. Identification of the health institution
2. Looking for potential prospects for this project
3. Requesting necessary instruction from the necessary subjects to allow you proceed with the project.
4. Beginning the thirty day project and engaging all the necessary units.

3) Describe the resources (human, fiscal, and other) or changes needed in the implementation of the solution. Consider the clinical tools or process changes that would need to take place. Provide a resource list. Although you will not be submitting the resource list in Module 5 with the narrative, the resource list should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.

This project requires a number of resources, for instance the human resource needed here include Doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, patients, medical students, patient caretakers, and physicians among others. Other resources include medical institution, financial resources necessary for empowering the project and its participants. More resources include drugs that the patients will use during the project.

4) Describe the methods and instruments, such as a questionnaire, scale, or test to be used for monitoring the implementation of the proposed solution. Develop the instruments. Although you will not be submitting the individual instruments in Module 5 with the narrative, the instruments should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.

The methods used in this project involve an array of research instruments. The questioners used here may be of various kinds i.e. for patients and the physicians. The response on the questionnaires will then be used to perform the analysis.

5) Explain the process for delivering the (intervention) solution and indicate if any training will be needed.

The process of delivering the intervention includes seeking opinions of the respondents (patients) and then analyzing them in regards to the outlined procedure. Training may be needed on the personnel who will be responsible for assessing the patients and checking on their responses. The training is mainly meant to enable these persons know the right procedure to follow in carrying out the assessment.

6) Provide an outline of the data collection plan. Describe how data management will be maintained and by whom. Furthermore, provide an explanation of how the data analysis and interpretation process will be conducted. Develop the data collection tools that will be needed. Although you will not be submitting the data collection tools in Module 5 with the narrative, the data collection tools should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.

Data collection will be done using questionnaires. The responses will then be recorded and then averaged on groups depending on the nature of response and the type of patient (Newell & Burnard, 2011). The patients may be categorized as informed and non-informed patients. The data collected may be processed into mean, median, and mode. Interpretation of the data may be done through graphs and pie charts for easy analysis.

7) Describe the strategies to deal with the management of any barriers, facilitators, and challenges.

In such a project, there are certain barriers that are likely to encompass, such may include patient’s fear of the program. Other challenges may be lack of adequate finances to carry forward the project in a successful manner. The best strategy to deal with such kind of challenges is explaining to the patients the entire process involved and completely assuring them that it will be kept private and confidential (Holloway & Wheeler, 2010,p.100). Consequently, the management has to be informed of the relevance of the project as well as its level of confidentiality on patient information.

8) Establish the feasibility of the implementation plan. Address the costs for personnel, consumable supplies, equipment (if not provided by the institute), computer related costs. Make sure to provide a brief rationale for each. Develop a budget plan. Although you will not be submitting the budget plan in Module 5 with the narrative, the budget plan should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.

There is a possibility of this project becoming a success if all the strategies are implemented in the right way. The personnel involved must have all the necessary requirements for their various tasks. At the same time, the materials needed for this project needs to be readily available. The travelling costs and others like library access need to be fully placed in the budget. The budget has to be flexible enough to allow for any adjustments since not all the institutions will have the necessary amenities.

9) Describe the plans to maintain, extend, revise, and discontinue a proposed solution after implementation.

The proposed solution can be implemented in a number of ways. For instance, the report can be submitted to state for review and consideration. Similarly, the institution of study can also implement the various recommendations raised in this project (Haines & Donald, 2012, p.120). Finally, the solutions can be published on the press magazines to allow many people gain the knowledge about this.
