NURS FPX 6416 Assessment 2 Technology Needs Assessment Summary and Implementation Plan

Part 3: Conclusion

The meeting was on needs assessment, and the main stakeholder concerns include interface and design problems, interoperability issues, and vulnerabilities that risk patients’ private data. Overall, a more functional system is required to fix performance gaps and ensure that communication, data sharing, and information access is not hampered. During the six weeks’ work, stakeholders should collaborate with the nurse informatics specialist manager and information technology experts to make the necessary system upgrade. Stakeholders will also be engaged in piloting the new system before full adoption into practice. Change management principles relevant in mitigating resistance as the project proceeds include active communication, instant feedback, engagement, and working on realistic goals. All stakeholders should understand why the system change is needed and their roles defined clearly. Conflict should be solved instantly and unclear issues clarified before moving from one phase to the next.
