This writer believes one of the most important aspects of planning a project is the actual
plan itself. Without a plan, a project can become misled, pointlessly consuming funds and
endangering the triple constraints, which include limits, restrictions, and barriers that prevent the
project from achieving its goals and objectives (Sipes, 2016). This is project is based on a new
facility start up, with Nursing Supervisors who do not have the appropriate documents and
processes in place. The scope of the issue is the Nursing Supervisors do not have experience in a
new start up and need leadership and support from another Nursing Supervisor from a sister
facility (see Appendix A).
Evidence-based practice (EBP) focuses on research outcomes, quality improvement
statistics, and professional opinion to identify the different approaches and procedures in the
search for improvement. This is used to close the space between the research being conducted
and the practice (Strategies for Nurse Managers, 2018). Starting a new facility requires
leadership that is willing to communicate appropriately with their staff to be guided into success
(see Appendix B). Leaders that engaged in strategic behaviors focused on planning, organizing,
and aligning proved to be vision-focused and systems-oriented (Stetler, Ritchie, Rycroft-Malone
& Charns, 2014). Leaders must set an atmosphere with EBP components seeking to guide,
educate, and promote EBP-related behavior by managers and staff. They should also recognize
and reinforce EBP behaviors in performance evaluations to accomplish the goal of being
successful in their new positions (Stetler et al., 2014).
One of the most important aspects in patient centered care is achieved during handoff.
The discussion of incomplete and imprecise patient information during handoff can result in poor
patient outcomes. Communication is the starting point for safety and success because patient
handoffs are initiated at different times and involve a variety of healthcare professionals.
