the healthcare facility in which I work is called Upper Hill Care located in California. Some of the characteristic that make our c healthcare facility distinct from others are tied to our culture which is characterized by
Friendly communications
Respects for all people
Embracing diversity
Equality and
Prioritizing the needs of our clients
Readiness for change
Our organization is always prepared for changes such as outbreaks of pandemics that can lead to surges in number of patients in various ways such as:
Training of employees on working in stressful environment
Having extra care equipment's like beds, ventilators and others
Preparing for risks through insurance covers ("Preparing for change in your organization: A how-to guide," 2019)
Some factors that prepare our firm for changes include. Flexible, secure infrastructure
Data mastery

Current challenge and opportunity for change
Some of the current challenges facing our healthcare facility include
Lack of adequate trained nurses and doctors
Financial deficits
Increased employee turnover
Misappropriation of the firm resources
Increased burden of medical errors
Low wages
Little time to spend with clients (Shannon Barnet, Molly Gamble, Heather Punke, Emily Rappleye, Ellie Rizzo and Tamara Rosin, n.d.)
According to the CareerBuilder survey, the provider shortage is hitting every healthcare organization in the country — especially when it comes to nurses. Forty percent of healthcare workers responded that they felt challenged by work overload at their jobs; the number jumped to 48 percent when the pool was limited to only nurses. The survey also identified a key turnover issue in healthcare workers taking on additional responsibilities above their comfort level. The provider shortage means fewer staff members must divide a significant workload, pushing some employees to the brink of exhaustion and decreasing job satisfaction considerably.

orpptunities
Some of the orpptunities available for the firm include
Diversifying the health care services
Opening new branches in other towns
Outsourcing employees form hiring agencies
Increasing research and development
Smart contracts among others (Medal, n.d.)
Evidence based idea for change
The evidence based idea for change is available for conditions like
Asthma
Heart failures and
Diabetes
The changes in the healthcare is believed to have potential of
Transforming clients and healthcare workers behavior
Minimizing case of asthma, heart failure and diabetes
Create a more conducive working environment
Increase customers satisfaction ("evidence for evidence-based practice implementation - Patient safety and quality - NCBI bookshelf," n.d.)
When viewing steps of the EBP process through the lens of an end user, the process begins with selecting an area for improving care based on evidence (rather than asking what findings ought to be disseminated); determining the priority of the potential topic for the organization; formulating an EBP team composed of key stakeholders; finding, critiquing, and synthesizing the evidence; setting forth EBP recommendations, with the type and strength of evidence used to support each clearly documented; determining if the evidence findings are appropriate for use in practice; writing an EBP standard specific to the organization; piloting the change in practice; implementing changes in practice in other relevant practice areas (depending on the outcome of the pilot); evaluating the EBP changes; and transitioning ongoing quality improvement (QI) monitoring, staff education, and competency review of the EBP topic to appropriate organizational groups as defined by the organizational structure.

Plan of knowledge transfer
The plan of knowledge transfer will encompass the following
Supporting current workforce through transitions
Storing insights form leaving employees
Shortening the ramp-up time for new hires
The flowing questions will be answered
Which area of organization faces significant threat of knowledge loss?
How much information do we need?
How much data should we store and disseminate?
How are we going to ensure that transferred information? And
How to determine success of knowledge transfer play?
If that scenario sounds familiar, you’re not alone: many organizations struggle to formalize knowledge transfer processes before the point of departure. But even beyond employee exits, there are plenty of reasons to develop a knowledge transfer strategy. Consider how a strong knowledge sharing process might impact your onboarding and intern programs, or employees transferring to a new role.
A knowledge transfer program gives you a strong foundation for growing and developing team members and streamlining personnel changes. And the good news is that it doesn’t have to be complicated: a solid, step-by-step strategy is all you need to gather knowledge and transfer it to those who need it.

Measurable outcomes
Some of the measurable outcome of the plan my include
Changes in the firms profits
Changes in the level of employee retention
Increase in performance efficiency
Increased customer satisfaction levels

conclusion
All health care facilities experience challenges such as hi employee turnovers, workplace stress resulting form being overworked among others. Despite these challenges healthcare facilities have vast orpptunities for expansion and growth such as diversifying their services, spreading risks and relocating to other places.it is critical to ensure there are effective change management and knowledge transfer plans to ensure that the workforces in equipped with critical information that will enable healthcare facilities to remain competitive.
