Role and Engagement of Stakeholders

Role and Engagement of Stakeholders Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Course # and Course Name Professor’s Name Submission Date The capstone project investigates whether elevating the head of a bed to greater than 30 degrees reduces the incidence of pneumonia among mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) compared to lying flat on the back. Such a clinical question requires several stakeholders whose roles and participation are essential to the study's success. This section discusses the major stakeholders, their roles, their possible concerns, and strategies to increase their involvement. Roles of Stakeholders In this case, the ICU nurses represented by a fictitious name, Emma Health, are vital in implementing this intervention. These nurses at the front line change the bed position and monitor the patients for responses that ensure their safety and comfort. They also provide valuable feedback on the feasibility and practicality of raising the head of the bed as a routine practice. Similarly, respiratory therapists like Alex Care ensure the proper functioning of mechanical ventilation equipment and monitor patients' respiratory parameters. Their collaboration is vital in ensuring the intervention does not compromise ventilation effectiveness or other critical clinical outcomes. Physicians, represented by Dr. Sarah Wellness, ensure an oversight role in patient care. They must review clinical appropriateness related to the intervention and approve any variances to standard procedures. Their expertise and leadership will be critical in evaluating the impact of this change on patient outcomes (Bhati et al., 2023). Consequently, the hospital administration, as represented by John Progress, must address resource allocation, policy updating, and staff training so that the intervention can be well implemented and sustained. Stakeholder Support and Interest The direct beneficiaries of this project, which include patients and their families, will be referred to herein as The Recovery Family. They would give informed consent ...
