Introduction
When creating a project plan, it is important to be cognizant of the significant role that nurses play in strategizing about use of organizational human and financial resources within the organization.
Communication is the key component to beginning and finishing projects, such as a plan proposal. The ability to effectively communicate involves reaching a state of consciousness regarding how others think and feel about something—an awareness of human differences. In addition, being knowledgeable about what type technological advancements exist can greatly enhance a positive project outcome (Harris et al., 2023).
As you work on your assessment, consider the following: How do organizational leaders impact project successes, sustain practice change, and share evidence-based findings? Which technology might help you evaluate the project's impact within a health care system?

Project Plan Proposal: Reducing Medication Administration Errors Through Interprofessional Collaboration
Date: October 26, 2023 Prepared For: Hospital Leadership & Quality Improvement Committee Prepared By: [Your Name/Title], Project Lead
1. Introduction
Medication administration errors represent a significant threat to patient safety and a major source of preventable harm in our hospital. While isolated incidents are often attributed to individual practitioners, a systemic approach is required to create sustainable change. This proposal outlines a strategic, evidence-based plan for an interprofessional team to collaboratively reduce medication administration errors. Nurses, as the largest and most consistent point of contact with patients, are central to this initiative. Their frontline perspective is critical for identifying root causes and implementing effective solutions. By leveraging the collective expertise of nursing, pharmacy, medicine, and health information technology, we can create a culture of safety that prevents errors before they reach the patient.
