Implementation can be supported by using various proven strategies, such as following established models or frameworks for change. Such frameworks or models offer foundations upon which the project can be implemented (<\/span>Jayatilleke, S., & Lai, 2018)<\/span>. Fortunately, several change models or frameworks exist that can be used to aid the implementation of EBP projects. The implication is that project implementers should choose the most appropriate model, which will not lead to any bias and failures in implementation. Therefore, the purpose of this assignment is to explore the change model or framework which will be used in guiding the implementation of the proposed EBP project and explain how the stages of the change will be used in implementing the project.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe Selected Model For Change<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nThe selected model for change to guide the implementation of this project is Kurt Lewin\u2019s change model. According to this model, change takes place in three different phases. In addition, the process of change is usually associated with two different types of forces, which are the restraining forces and the driving forces (Hussain et al.,2018). While the driving forces enhance the change process, the restraining forces prevent change from occurring. The implication is that for a change process to be successful, the driving forces must be greater than the restraining forces.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe Stages in The Change Model<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nKurt Lewin\u2019s change model states that change takes place in three phases. The phases include unfreezing, change, and refreezing. The unfreezing phase is the first phase, where the change implementers create an urgent need for change. Such a step is supported by various statistics that may warrant a need for change. As such, the phase prepares the affected stakeholders for the impending change (Hussain et al.,2018). Effective communication is important in this phase. The next phase is the change phase, where the implementation of the proposed change takes place. In most cases, the proposed change is implemented, and its viability is explored. The last stage is the refreezing stage. This last phase involves supporting the individuals to accept the implemented change and stabilize. In addition, the implemented intervention is embraced as part of the organizational culture and as a new strategy for doing things in the organization.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe Application of The Model in The Proposed Implementation<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nThe project focuses on the application of a CAUTI bundle to help in lowering the rates of CAUTI in the organization. Lewin’s model will be used to manage the change as appropriate. The first phase, which involves unfreezing, will entail informing the organization’s stakeholders of the urgent need to bring down the rates of CAUTI in the facility. In the implementation phase, the staff will be educated on the CAUTI bundle before implementation of the same is undertaken. The final phase will involve refreezing (<\/span>Muldoon, 2020)<\/span>. At this phase, it is expected that the organization will adopt CAUTI bundles as the standard care for patients to prevent CAUTI.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nConclusion<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nEvidence-based practice projects are key to improving patient care outcomes in care settings. As such, appropriate strategies should be used to ensure that their implementation is a success. Therefore, this write-up has explored the use of Lewin’s model as a model to help manage the change process. The stages of the change have been described, and how the phases or stages will be used in implementing the proposed change of CAUTI bundle care.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nReferences<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nHussain, S.
