Kotter’s 8 Step Change Model

Kotter’s 8 Step Change Model. Applying a model or framework for change ensures that a process is in place to guide the efforts for change. In 500-750 words, discuss the model or framework you will use to implement your evidence-based practice proposal project. You will use the model or framework you select in the Topic 8 assignment, during which you will synthesize the various aspects of your project into a final paper detailing your evidence-based practice project proposal.

Include the following:

1. Identify the selected model or framework for change and discuss its relevance to your project. (the project is using the teach-back method in discharge education to reduce readmission in heart failure patients)
2. Discuss each of the stages in the change model/framework.
3. Describe how you would apply each stage of the model or theoretical framework in your proposed implementation.
4. Create a concept map for the conceptual model or framework you selected to illustrate how it will be applied to your project. Attach this as an appendix at the end of your paper.
