Women Veterans Mental Healthcare during Pregnancy
Pregnancy in women veterans is often associated with anxiety, depression, and other stress disorders. The incidence of these diseases is high in women veterans due to significant endeavors during military services (Creech et al., 2019). The implementation plan for pregnant veterans includes providing financial aids and sufficient resources to improve their mental health during pregnancy. The proposed change plan comprises certain strategic interventions to reduce the ongoing incidence of mental health problems during pregnancy in women veterans.
Distinguish organizational strategies needed to implement and maintain the change plan.
The proposed change plan comprises certain modifications in the management of pregnant veterans by providing them with adequate funds, quick medical access, and paid pregnancy leaves. Similarly, the organization should pay attention to the fault lines of the already implemented plan. To maintain the change, there should be active leadership that prioritizes the success and sustenance of the change plan. The other strategy that can make the implementation plan easy and productive is empowering women veterans through effective communication and negotiation. This strategy will ultimately help to reduce the mental stress and grievances of pregnant veterans. Hence, the change plan can categorically operate.
Identify the stakeholders needed to support the implementation of the proposed plan.
The major stakeholders are healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, paramedical staff, and pregnant veterans as a patient of prime focus for this change plan. Additionally, hospital management and leadership also play a significant role in implementing the proposed change plan (Nillni et al., 2021). Similarly, there are certain private investors and NGOs that work for the mandate of the organization and patient care. Insurance companies are also one of the key stakeholders of the implementation plan. Similarly, pharmaceutical firms and government subsidies are also supportive elements for the implementation plan. All these stakeholders will provide affordable health care costs and quality medical care for pregnant veterans.
Explain how these stakeholders are vital to implementing the change plan.
Doctors and nurses are the first-line workers to assist the patient and provide the baseline for effective implementation. Efficient staff will introduce interventions that will improve the mental health of the veterans. Similarly, the insurance companies and other private investors directly fund the patient and hospital management to increase the plan's efficacy. This strategy will ensure the safe delivery and life of the child and mother (Nillni et al., 2021). Additionally, the NGOs also work to support the plan by financing the organization or assisting the women veterans directly to ensure the good development of the child in a healthy environment.
Summarize potential communication strategies to internal and external stakeholders to facilitate a change plan.
Effective communication is a crucial element for the success of the change plan. The change plan proposes having a comprehensive communication center that will allow the veterans to discuss their difficulties with the staff members. There should be representatives and ambassadors for the organization that regularly maintain clear and transparent communication with the subcontractors, investors, and other stakeholders. The plan includes regular meetings between the veterans and health professionals to share their experiences regarding treatment outcomes (Creech et al., 2019). In this way, women veterans can effectively communicate with the other stakeholders.
Discuss the impact this change plan will have on the organization and its stakeholders.
The change plan will positively affect the organization and its shareholders because the change plan was applied to meet the organizational goals. The plan has short, medium, and long-term outcomes that include multiple benefits to the veterans and their children. This change plan will ensure healthy therapy, full funding of the veterans that will reduce the depression stress conditions of the veterans. In the same way, the plan will provide high-quality treatment for depression that will ultimately increase the work output in the military. Collectively, the stakeholders will find new trends to meet the aspirations of the organizations. These strategic change plan models can shift the organization stakeholders into a master body that holds the position of leader.
Identify expected outcomes and potential barriers to implementing the change plan.
The outcomes of the change plan are exceptionally compelling because the change plan will increase the efficiency of the medical care provided to women veterans. The major barriers are the communication gap, lack of funds, resources, lack of strategic leadership direction, and absence of a professional will (Katon et al., 2017). All these barriers are debilitating the process of mental therapy of women veterans during pregnancy. The change plan can be made effective by fulfilling all requirements for mental therapy of women veterans.
Discuss steps for overcoming the potential barriers
The barriers can be reduced by promoting diversity and opportunity. There should be inter-professional meetings to take account of emerging problems during the mental therapy of the women veterans. Fund issues can be solved by making contracts with insurance companies and NGOs working for women veterans. Similarly, the veterans should be in regular contact with their therapist to reduce the communication gap hindering effective mental treatment (Katon et al., 2017). Hence, professional coordination and the personal will of the veterans can help to reduce the barriers to the successful implementation of the change plan.
