You have an idea to improve patient care that you would like upper management to support and fund. What type of communication tool would you use to present your idea and why?

The first thing I would do when I have found a way to make an improvement is gather data from an published trials with current literature that is supportive of the innovation. I would put together a visual presentation such as a power point presentation that would include any research information that is associated with my idea. Next, I would present the idea in a staff meeting to get my team members on board with the idea. If I get others on board with me my idea may go further because the idea will seem more realistic and be an example to those that may be resistant to new changes (Kowal, 2013). I would verbally present this information to them to make them aware of the importance of the projected change. I would then utilize the “CSR model” which is consistency, standardization, and reproducibility (Kowal, 2015). Finally, after the trial run, I would arrange a power point presentation with the stated problem, statistical research and trial run data. All this information would be presented with visual graphs and employee accounts of the experience to make my idea sound beneficial to the patients, staff and budget. Providing visuals and actual accounts from co-workers is helpful in influencing change.
