FEEDBACK ON IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2
Feedback on Implementation Plan
The implementation plan was shared with a friend. After a careful review of the plan, the
following question was posed; does the use of special initiative prompt to remove the catheter
reduce the factors and chances of the patients getting indwelling catheter infections?
Response
Controlling the risk factors of catheter infection leads to the reduction of the incidence of
infection of catheter-related bloodstream by approximately 40 percent (Cardo, Dennehy,
Halverson, Fishman, Kohn, &Murphy, 2010). The standardization of the routines of healthcare
should be guided by paying special attention to the central venous catheter and ensuring effective
surveillance among pediatric patients. This promotes the achievement of the set standards and
the effectiveness of the intervention (Fakih, Shemes, Pena, Dyc, Rey, Szpunar, & Saravolatz,
2010). As such, the response to the question posed on the feedback of the implementation plan is
that the use of special initiative prompt to remove the catheter reduces the factors and chances of
the patients getting indwelling catheter infections.
Changes to improve the implementation plan
There are three primary changes that need to be made to the implementation plan to
enhance its efficiency. The first is the development of a project schedule. This was omitted in the
original plan. A defined project charter and scope of the project will be used to generate the
schedule. Secondly, it is crucial to plan for any risks that could be incurred. The implementation
of the plan could result in unexpected risk (Knoll, Wright, Ellingson, Kraemer, Patire,
Kuskowski, & Johnson, 2011). Planning will outline how such risks will be managed. The final
change is creating a clear and frequent communication plan. This will enable the management
plan implementation staff to ensure continual communication, enhancing the project visibility
