Running head: STRATEGIC PLAN SUMMARY 1

Strategic Plan Summary

The planned nursing practice change, which aims to incorporate lifestyle changes as an

evidence-based practice in the management of diabetes, can be implemented effectively when all

the potential challenges that may hinder its implementation are identified and overcome. The

challenges that may hinder this process include inadequate resources, resistance from the

organization's stakeholders and inadequate leadership approaches (Sharma et al., 2018).

Therefore, adequate measures must be put in place to effectively overcome the barriers to

implementing the changes.

The strategies that will be used to implement the nursing practice intervention to ensure

that it is encapsulated in the healthcare organization effectively include an effective leadership

style that will support the proposed change. Adopting an effective leadership style such as

transformational leadership will be fundamental in incorporating the changes effectively (Sharma

et al., 2018). Subsequently, the staff in the healthcare organization will be enrolled in training

programs that will equip them with the skills needed to implement the proposed changes. For

example, they will be educated on the lifestyle modification approaches that patients can utilize

to manage their blood sugar levels to advise them appropriately (Sharma et al., 2018). Further,

the stakeholder will be involved in the transformation process to conceptualize the significance

of the changes and the role they can play in ensuring their successful implementation.
