Introduction
Evaluation describes the method of learning a program, action, involvement, or creativity to regulate how fit it encounters its purposes. In a proposal or project, assessments can support in discovering what functions effectively or needs improvements. It is a five-step procedure for assessing a formal business proposal fairly and objectively (Callistus & Clinton, 2018). This study paper uses Rogers’s Theory to analyze a research proposal on teamwork safety and efficiency in medical emergencies and being a fast learner. The procurement or cost control department of big enterprises or corporations is the most usual place to find this process (Shishodia et al., 2019). This paper provides data on current best practices and markers for assessing performance in change implementations and ensuring high-quality results for a wide range of patients. It identifies acceptable benchmarks for measuring the change’s efficacy and discusses the mechanisms for getting input from key parties, including patients, nurses, and their households. Proposal evaluation is vital since it ensures that the winning submission is chosen in a transparent and accountable manner (Metcalf et al., 2021). Evaluation of proposals is frequently requested for large projects or expenditures.
Proposal assessment can collect data on the method that can be discussed with persons and assist in determining whether the tactic is suitable to replicate in other sections with analogous needs. It establishes a method for determining which bids presented in reply to a request best fulfill the stated needs of the government (Anantatmula & Rad, 2018). Scholars can apply program assessments to show impact on donors, suggest alterations for future exertions, and gain sustenance for the plan’s continuation. The proposal evaluation evaluates the offeror’s capacity to complete the contract successfully (Gill et al., 2019). Forming a team to analyze submissions, check compliance requirements, review replies against contract document specifications, assign a value to each category, and score each submission are the five procedures utilized in proposal evaluation (Moon et al., 2021). The winning bidder is the one with the highest score. All companies who submit a plan are notified of the findings after selection. Unsuccessful businesses have the right to sue if they believe the procedure was unfair or violated contract law.
Steps for Evaluating the Proposal
Rogers’ Change Theory
A change could be unpredictable or predictable; it entails establishing a new venture. Unplanned variations result in unexpected results, whereas variation is a sequence of happenings to attain prearranged aims (Puri et al., 2019). A change mediator in nursing brands changes that affect quality nursing care (Godsey et al., 2020; Agus & Selvaraj, 2020). A healthcare professional, staff nurse or anyone who interacts with physicians could be a change agent (Cusson et al., 2020). In healthcare, change theories are vital since they bring intentional change (Vlaev et al., 2019). Because the existing change concepts in medicine do not suit all nursing transition circumstances, nurses and senior nurses must understand concepts and be able to select the appropriate transformational approach. Everette Rogers adapted Lewin’s change model and developed his five-stage model (Kombo & Letting, 2019; Kode, 2019). Rodgers’s change theory is used in long-term reform initiatives (Bogel et al., 2019; Reinholz & Andrews, 2020). It is beneficial when physicians who previously ignored the suggested change adopt it due to what they learn from clinicians who have already accepted it.
Rogers’ theory exemplifies how an individual goes from knowledge about an invention to determining whether to embrace or discard it. Even though a reformer is unsuccessful in achieving the desired shift, Rogers’ theory argues that the agent can revitalize the evolution at an imminent, more expedient moment or in a correct format. Roger highlights the necessity of including critical investors in developing innovation, using collective strengths, and controlling impediments to the procedure (Jankvist et al., 2021). It comprises five stages: the five phases include knowledge, decision, persuasion, confirmation, and implementation. The proposal will first be evaluated based on the researcher’s innovation knowledge. In the second stage, persuasion will play a vital function by actively participating and seeking relating details and information. In the third phase, the individual will consider the innovation’s pros and cons and weight change. The researcher will implement the innovation in the fourth stage and adjust the novelty to the state. During this period, the researcher controls the modernization’s usefulness and may hunt for further data. Finalization of the proposal will occur in the fifth stage to continue utilizing the innovation.
Evidence of Existing Best Practices
When nurses engage with a wide range of healthcare specialists, both inside and across sectors, the action signifies an existing best practice. It is critical to have a clear grasp of essential functions within specific teams to create more vital collaboration. Teammates may overlap efforts in certain areas while separating others if defined responsibilities are not defined, which is useless and may endanger the person. According to the magazine Working Doctor, the most effective teamwork is multidisciplinary, in which each member adds their field of knowledge to the team to deliver the best appropriate treatment. To reach the team objective, each individual must comprehend their job and obligations. Nurses must have excellent listening skills since they engage with various people, from patients to specialists. Active listening is an essential element of team operations since those collaborating physicians may have their criticism, recommendations, or questions. Team members whose contributions and triumphs are verbally acknowledged by the larger group, on the other hand, are more willing to submit their ideas, which strengthens group cohesiveness and efficiency.
Indicators to Measure Success
The researcher will use crucial indicators like awareness and preparedness, communication, and feedback to determine the success of the change. Organizations frequently overlook what matters most when striving to build up KPIs for the commercial goal of a change initiative: their workers. A change manager should focus on employee awareness and readiness to adopt a change (Vaishnavi et al., 2019). Focus groups indicate the personnel who are ready or aware of specific changes. Communication is essential to a fruitful change management plan (Al-Alawi et al., 2019). It endorses transparency and conviction between a corporation and its workers. However, it can only be accomplished if those in charge of communications have their finger on the pulse of their employees. Communication might be counterproductive to expect staff to conform to new policies, procedures, or instruments unfamiliar with. Establishing an early feedback loop between impacted groups and corporate executives is crucial to assessing change management performance.
The researcher will use “Prevention Quality Indicators” (PQIs) and “Inpatient Quality Indicators” (IQIs) to measure the quality outcome of the change. PQIs are population-based metrics that track potentially avoidable complications in a specific population during or after treatment (Ramalho et al., 2021). PQIs can identify hospitalizations that could have been prevented if high-quality patient care had been available (Chukmaitov et al., 2019). The PQIs utilize administrative data from a standard hospital discharge description to identify potential issues of quality care concern that should be investigated further. They help organizations uncover emotional neediness in their societies to offer a cursory survey on primary healthcare accessibility or diagnostic facilities in a region. IQIs assist hospitals in assessing the care provided within the institution and identifying areas that may require additional investigation. The IQIs offer insight into hospital quality care, including mortality for surgeries, medical disorders, and procedure used with concerns about overuse, disuse, and misuse.
Appropriate benchmarks for measuring the effectiveness of the change include efficiency, effectiveness, equity, and acceptability. Effectiveness denotes the healthcare benefits measured by health improvements. Efficiency relates the healthcare costs to obtained benefits or outputs. Acceptability describes the social, mental, and ethical adequacy concerning how people obtain treatment relative to healthcare, while equity represents the fair delivery of care amongst groups of people. The researcher will gather feedback from important stakeholders such as clinicians, patients, and families using surveys to support ongoing improvement in various processes. Customer response is vital for controlling and notifying decision-making and manipulating service and merchandise developments and changes. It is essential for defining customer knowledge among present clients.
Conclusion
Proposal evaluation ensures that the winning submission is selected in an open and accountable manner. It can gather information about the procedure that can be used by other researchers and aid in deciding whether the strategy is suitable for replication in other sections with similar needs. The proposal will be assessed first based on the researcher’s innovation expertise. Persuasion will play a vital role in the second stage, with participants actively engaged and seeking related information. In the third phase, the person will weigh the benefits and drawbacks of the idea. In the fourth stage, the researcher will put the innovation into action and adjust the originality to the current situation. Finalizing, which will occur in the last stage, will aid the researcher in applying appropriate innovation by considering consciousness and readiness, communication, and response to evaluate the change’s success to ensure a quality outcome.
