Question

you are the director of acute respiratory care in a small community hospital in Suburban Barrie, Ontario. You have been asked to be the leader of a project to design a new protocol for ICU admission. The former criteria of admission to ICU for any respiratory failure was oxygen saturation below 93%, tachypnea above 30, blood pressure below 90/60. The present criteria are now less senisitve which means that patient for instance need to have oxygen saturation below 89% for admission to ICU and so on . Therefore, due to lack of the number of ICU rooms we need to admit the harsh and severe patient status who are severely unstable, and we transform the regular infected patients into ICU the patients who really are in danger of respiratory failure. In order to plan for this change, you must design a change process plan which will ensure you will be successful in planning and implementing this change in procedure. Define who the target group in this situation. describe in detail

Answer 1

Change process plan is a setting of standard goals which are set prior to the plan and the actions are taken to met these goals. The process plan in this situation must include the criteria like the low oxygen saturation, severely septic pt etc .

The target group are the pts whether infant children, adult, older , male or female who have serious respiratory illness like acute respiratory distress in case of infants , acute upper respiratory infections in case of children's, occupational lung diseases in the adults or COPD in the older adults ,these diseases can pose threat as the low O2 saturation, serious sepsis etc
