How would you gather the people and information and learn what you need to know to understand as much as possible about the problem or issue and move to action planning? How might design thinking cycles and action research cycles provide frameworks to guide your inquiry?

Design thinking represents a way to create and innovate in virtually any environment, in a series of cyclical, iterative steps. It is, in fact, another form of an inquiry cycle. A series of quick-and-dirty design cycles enhance creative capacity to try out a variety of ideas. Designers create prototypes and ask end users, “Is this what you need (or want)? Does this solve the problem?” The expectation is that it will not solve the problem, at least not at first. Quick iterative cycles of prototyping enhances learning from failures and keeps failure fast and inexpensive. Can you think of any projects that might have benefitted from a little more trial and error (and feedback from users) before implementation?

Outline how the proposed changes for service improvement will be implemented, monitored and subsequently evaluated (e.g. via clinical audit).Consider the role of individual nurses in advancing nursing care and service delivery, along with organisational clinical governance frameworks, and associated change management strategies.

Using distraction methods as effective pain management for paediatric oncology patients experiencing procedural pain.

You have been asked to provide an evidence-based rationale for a Patient Service Innovation (PSI), outlining reasons why you believe this field-specific strategy will address a clearly specified area for improvement.  refer to the SMART principles.

This will include a chosen strategy for change, and refer to key theories and frameworks regarding leadership and change management principles.

A thorough review and understanding of the related evidence base regarding the PSI needs to be demonstrated, including field related and other research along with other healthcare information and literature; patient satisfaction reports; NICE or other clinical guidelines; findings and recommendations from inquiries and reports; findings and recommendations from ‘never events’ and patient safety incidents) and so forth.

You need to outline how the proposed changes for service improvement will be implemented, monitored and subsequently evaluated (e.g. via clinical audit). The strategy must consider the role of individual nurses in advancing nursing care and service delivery, along with organisational clinical governance frameworks, and associated change management strategies.
