Role and Engagement of Stakeholders Summary

Role and Engagement of Stakeholders Summary

Stakeholders and their Roles

            Stakeholders directly involved in the capstone project implementation include nurse practitioners, physicians, pharmacists, patients, and their family members. These stakeholders are supportive of my capstone project. Each stakeholder will play a unique role in promoting my project’s success. Physicians will be key in selecting evidence-based drugs used in venous thromboembolism prophylaxis and risk stratification. Nurses will play a key role in safely administering medication and risk stratification. Pharmacists will promote the rational use of medications used in venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. Physicians and nurses will be involved in patient monitoring to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. Laboratory technicians will play a key role in performing tests such as ultrasound screening to determine the risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Members of the interdisciplinary team will collaborate with patients and their families to obtain their buy-in into the capstone project.

Stakeholders Interested in the Results

Stakeholders interested in the project’s results include the leadership of the healthcare facility, insurers, and the community. The administration of the healthcare facility is concerned about the outcomes because they impact the quality of healthcare services. Quality healthcare creates a good reputation for the healthcare facility. By so doing, it gains a positive competitive advantage over other health facilities. Insurers are concerned about the outcomes because they emphasize value-based healthcare. In this scenario, positive outcomes will be demonstrated by a reduction in the cases of DVT due to adequate thromboprophylaxis. Community members are interested in the outcomes because they impact the quality of healthcare services offered in the healthcare facility. For instance, positive outcomes will improve the community’s satisfaction levels and increase their likelihood of visiting the healthcare facility.

Promoting Stakeholder Participation

Various techniques can be used to promote stakeholder participation. Firstly, open communication will ensure that all stakeholders receive background information about the capstone project (Dagne & Beshah, 2021). Background information communicates the goals, objectives, and timelines of the project. It enables stakeholders to understand the project’s benefits, increasing the likelihood of stakeholder participation. Secondly, compromise will ensure that the concerns of all stakeholders are acknowledged and respected (Dagne & Beshah, 2021). Compromising increases the likelihood of buy-in because all stakeholders participate in modifying the capstone project.

Possible Concerns/Barriers from Stakeholders

Various factors may impede the implementation of the capstone project. Lack of adequate knowledge and skills is the first barrier. Stakeholders may not be aware of the best medication or screening technique used in VTE prophylaxis. This can be mitigated by training and education. The other barrier is a demoralized team. Demoralization may be caused by limited human and financial resources or an individualistic organizational culture (Anggraeni et al., 2019). A demoralized team does not collaborate effectively toward the success of the capstone project.

Strategies to Gain Support and Assistance from Stakeholders

            As stated earlier, Dagne and Beshah (2021) report that open communication will ensure that all stakeholders receive background information about the capstone project’s goals, objectives, benefits, and timelines. Also, all stakeholders will be informed about their unique role in the project’s success. By doing so, stakeholders will understand the project’s benefit, increasing the likelihood of participation. Secondly, regular training and education will improve stakeholders’ skills and knowledge base (Tembo et al., 2021). A competent workforce will work in concert to promote the project’s success. Thirdly, reward systems will be used to motivate the best-performing teams.
