Star Point 4: (Implementation) Describe the process for gaining permission to plan and begin a trial. Is there a specific group, committee, or nurse leader involved?

The Nurse Manager will be the one to grant permission to plan and implement the trial program. She will play a crucial role in presenting to the hospital's oversight board to ensure compliance with ethical guidelines and benefits for patients and practitioners. The approval to plan and implement the trial program would then begin with the Nurse Manager. Patients who have suffered from hip fractures will have the nurse manager oversee the implementation of the route approach.

Describe the plan for educating the staff about the change process trial and how they will be impacted or asked to participate.

The agenda for the nurse practitioner's and physician's meeting that takes place at the beginning of each week on Monday morning. This meeting is where the strategy for teaching staff members is discussed. After they have received the information, they will be informed of the new guidelines and instructed to engage in individual study in order to get ready for the briefing that will be done before shift change three times a week for the next three months for all of the nursing staff and physicians working in shift. The sessions will be conducted twice a month for the first three months, and then once a week for the last three months. It is anticipated that the information, training, and modeling that is offered would result in changes in both behavior and practices.
