Essay -Identifying an innovative change in healthcare Australia Section 1 and section 2 (40% weightage) Learning outcomes This assessment task is aligned to the following learning outcomes: - Discuss the context of organizational environments to identify and respond to drivers that support and negate opportunities for innovative change. - Explore the components of change management models when planning innovative organisational change Overview This assignment encourages you to network and reflect with fellow students, colleagues and learning facilitators. You will practice identifying and articulating drivers that support and negate opportunities for innovative change in your organisation. In undertaking this assessment, you are developing the ideas and resources that will become the basis of further assessment in this Unit. Section1 Details How does planning for change take place? Using the models you’ve learned, practice thinking through planning for significant organisational change. Follow these steps and post your response to the questions below. 1. Identify an innovative change your workplace is taking on, or could take on, that would require organisational change. (Australia based healthcare changes- Ed, Rural/remote, medium size hospital etc) 2. Select one of the five models (ADKAR, Virginia Satir’s Change Process, Kotter's 8 Steps, Bridge's Transition, or the Switch Framework) and answer these questions, briefly, using the model as your framework for addressing the innovative change: • What are the major drivers of organisational change that need to be addressed? Consider drivers that support and negate opportunities for innovative change in your organisation (Some examples of drivers can be found in Stanley, J. D. (2012). Clinical leadership and innovation. Journal of Nursing Education and Practice, 2(2), 119–126. • What are the critical steps in planning for this organisational change? • How should you communicate the change throughout the organisation? • How do you bring key stakeholders on board? Structure of Section-1 (500 words) Please be advised that there can be variations in preparing your discussion. However, the below outline can be considered in your writing: - Cover sheet Title Discussion post identifying an innovative change (headings/sub-headings can be used for this section) – 500 words - References Please be advised that in-text citations are included in the word count, however, the reference list and appendices are not included in the word count. Using information from workplace: The assignments are designed to provide an opportunity to work with real workplace events (Eg; rural/ remote/ medium sized hospital) to enhance the maximum relevance and possibility of translation of the work to practice. However, if there is no possibility of relating the assignments to the workplace, please describe the work in general terms and/or consider the case hypothetically. If using any real information from your workplace, it needs to be secondary (e.g. online report), not primary (e.g. conducting interviews), as this would require ethical approval. Use the information provided anonymously, and seek permission from your workplace, before the usage of the information for the purpose of the assignment. Section 2 continuation – (1500 words) Learning outcomes This section task is aligned to the following learning outcomes: - Understand contemporary concepts relating to innovative change Explore in depth the contexts of organisational environments to identify and respond to drivers supporting and negating opportunities for innovative change Critique relevant policy, both operational and strategic, to innovative change within the work-based context Examine the influence of leadership theories, and models relevant to innovative change processes - Section 2 details: This assignment should include the following: Introduction to the innovative change – Provide the setting, background, and context/impetus which led to the idea/need for the innovative change (E.g. gap in the literature? Translational research project? Patient safety? Efficiency and cost? Technological advance etc.). - Critical review of innovative change - Justify the argument put forward for the innovative change and perceived consequences if the innovative change was not implemented (You can consider this from different perspectives e.g. individual, organizational, population health etc.). Use empirical literature (no greater than 10 years old), and any relevant policy directives or other sources to support arguments. - Examine the different ‘Drivers’ which supported or negated opportunities for the innovative change to be successful (e.g. different levels, different factors, internal, external, etc.). Examine the different drivers in a meaningful way, considering their priorities and how they influenced the success or otherwise of the innovative change. Use empirical literature (no greater than 10 years old) to support relevant arguments. - Critically evaluate the relevant leadership model/theory which underpinned the innovative change and discuss its role within the innovative change process (Analyse the perceived strengths and weaknesses of this leadership model/theory on the outcome of the innovative change). Structure of Section 2 (Please provide sub heading) Please be advised that there can be variations in preparing your discussion. However, the below outline can be considered in your writing: - A specific title for the Section 2 - Introduction (300 words) - Main body - Justification of the need for innovative change (400 words) - Drivers which supported or negated opportunities for innovative change to be successful (400 words) - Leadership model/theory and its role within innovative change process (400 words) - - References - use APA 6th style for references and in-text citations. A minimum of 10 references should be used in support of relevant arguments, using contemporary literature (within last 10 years, except for seminal literature).

Section One
Innovative Change

I usually work in one of the healthcare facilities in Australia. The healthcare facility was
previously using paper format records but is currently adopting electronic health records (EHRs)
due to the development of technology. The electronic health record has made the institution to
change significantly, and it is still undergoing the change process (Ben-Assuli, 2015). Every
healthcare professional was used to recording patient’s information on paper format documents
such as the use of record books and files. However, the implementation of the electronic health
record has contributed to the transfer of all the information into the computer system, where the
previous paper documents have been kept in a store for future reference.

Drivers of the Organizational Change
The adoption of electronic health records has resulted due to the emergence of
technological development as the primary driver for organizational change. Most of the
healthcare facilities in Australia among other countries have adopted the EHRs as a new system
of recording patients' data. This has forced the hospital where I work, to adopt the system so that
it can change which changes in technological development. The other driver that has contributed
to the adoption of the EHRs is the increase in the number of patients that attend the hospital for
healthcare services. The increased number of patients has made it hard to record the information
of every patient in a paper document, thus leading to the introduction of EHRs where the
information for millions of patients can be recorded. The EHRs also ensure quick access to
patients' information.

Kotter's Model of Critical Steps
According to the Kotter’s eight steps theory, there are eight stages involved in an
organizational change. The first step involves the creation of urgency where the leader of change
shows the reasons for adopting a change in an organization. The second step is building a
guiding coalition that displays the employees how to conduct the change process. The third
process involves the formation of a strategic vision and initiative to help in performing the
change process. The fourth stage is concerned with the communication of the vision that has
been developed, to inform the people in the entire organization (Henry & Thompson, 2017). The
next stage involves the removal of barriers that could act as an obstacle for the change. The next
step is concerned with generating short term wins that will motivate the employees within the
organization. The seventh step involves sustaining the acceleration through building on the
change. The last one is to adopt the changes and stick them into the organizational culture.
Communication of the Change
As the leader of an organization, it is necessary to communicate the change to the
employees befor...
