You are the nurse manager of an inpatient unit. You are going to be changing the discharge education process for all patients. Your staff, so far, has been resistant to this change. In their feedback to you, they think that this change is not necessary, as they think that it will create more work. They also state that the current process is working fine. As a leader, you understand that listening to feedback is important. As a result, you are going to educate your staff on the “why” behind the change; you are going to create an infographic using Lewin’s Process of Planned Change. Each step in Lewin’s Process of Planned Change will be outlined as it relates to your new discharge process.

To successfully complete your infographic assignment on Lewin's Process of Planned Change for a new discharge education process, follow these condensed steps:

Identification and Discussion

• Include a title and your name
• Clearly outline each stage and its relevance to the discharge process change.
• Grasp the three stages—Unfreeze (recognize the need for change), Change (implement new processes), and Refreeze (make the change permanent).
• Include a clear title, a brief introduction to Lewin's model, and use graphical elements to guide the reader.

Value to Peers

• Show the benefits of the change for staff.
• For each stage, explain how it applies to changing the discharge process.
• Highlight the need for change, detail the new process, and describe how it will be solidified.

Creativity

• Employ engaging design elements.
• Using the provided templates, create sections for each Lewin's stage with relevant visuals and key points.
• Use color and visuals to improve clarity.

Communication

• Present information clearly with minimal text and straightforward visuals.
• Ensure clarity, accuracy, and appeal. Check for errors and seek feedback to improve readability.
