Now that you have an idea of the critical questions, the common barriers, and the important principles associated with implementing change, you should be able to strategize your implementation plan more savily.
There are four steps to the development of an effective plan for implementing change:
· Create awareness and interest
· Build knowledge and commitment
· Promote action and adoption
· Pursue integration and sustained use
Keeping these steps in mind, you will create an implementation plan for your proposed practice change or improvement project.
