Organizational Culture and Readiness

Implementing change initiatives in the care environment is key to improving patient outcomes, the delivery of healthcare services, and improving the staff working conditions. The successful implementation of such initiatives needs an appropriate organizational culture with the right resources and framework in place. Therefore, it is important to perform an assessment that can reveal the organization’s readiness for the project’s implementation (Ost et al.,2020).

Such an assessment requires a valid tool that can be important in assessing the organization’s culture for readiness in implementing EBP. As such, the purpose of this assignment is to assess the organizational culture and its readiness for EBP implementation. The assessment was performed using a validated tool; thus, such findings are discussed in the next sections.

The Organization’s Culture and The Degree It Supports Change

As discussed earlier, the implementation of change initiatives is important in improving patient outcomes. However, a successful implementation is enhanced by a positive organizational culture that supports EBP by providing a conducive environment and eliminating potential barriers (Hayirli et al.,2021).

The proposed changes should also align with the organization’s vision, values, and mission. The organization leaders at the current institution are supportive and are ready to support EBP implementation to help the organization grow and offer exemplary patient care services. The pursuit of magnet status has set the organization on the path of supporting EBP initiatives.

The organization’s mission is to offer improved and equitable patient care to everyone, especially the underserved population. The leaders have shown the urge to support this mission by supporting EBP initiatives and eliminating a potential barrier to achieving quality and safe patient care. The organization also has, for a long time, been supporting interprofessional teams to work together and offer acceptable levels of patient care to patients and reduce adverse events such as patient falls. Therefore the level of readiness of the organization can be considered as high.
