Evaluating on How to Improve Medication Errors
Week One Discussion: Change and Innovation in Nursing
Initial Post:
1. Obtain a scholarly nursing journal on Innovation and Change in Clinical Nursing Practice or Nursing Education. Download the article (you will post it for your peers to review). Please see the article attached. There are several articles in the resources for the class.
2.

Identify the change process model used. - do not describe the model. (Example: The change process used was Lewin's Model of Change.)
Make sure to identify the (1) problem/need for change/rationale for change, (2) the setting (practice or education) identified, and (3) how the results/findings could be implemented in the identified setting. Limit to 1-3 paragraphs- quality over quantity!
3. Attach the article to your discussion post
In-text citations are a must! Use APA 7th edition
