Part 1: Project Overview The current state of the population reflects a lack of awareness of coronary artery disease (CAD) and its associated complications and mortality rates. The desired state is to enhance awareness about CAD, including its symptoms, complications, self-management practices, and available treatment options. The gap identified is a general unawareness of CAD, its risk factors, symptoms, management, treatment, and prevention methods. Methods employed to identify this gap include surveys, focus groups, and an analysis of hospital data. Addressing this gap is essential, as it holds significant implications for the identified population. Improving awareness can enhance living standards and reduce CAD-related mortality. CAD remains a leading cause of death in the United States, with healthcare costs exceeding $200 billion annually (Brown et al., 2022). Part 2: Project Team The project team comprises diverse professionals with distinct roles. The Executive Sponsor from Cardiovascular Services at Vila Health provides senior leadership oversight. Registered Cardiac Nurses educate both patients and staff, while the Project Manager ensures project coordination and task execution. The Cardiologist plays an integral role in promoting CAD awareness, and the Marketing Director implements marketing strategies. Patient Service Representatives serve as the first point of contact, gathering essential data. Research Analysts focus on collecting and analyzing CAD-related data, while the Team Leader, typically a primary care physician, manages care coordination for CAD patients. Stakeholders include patients with CAD, government agencies such as the CDC, and nursing staff. Patients, as primary stakeholders, will gain improved knowledge and actively participate in awareness programs. Government agencies contribute by funding, developing policies, and supporting educational campaigns, while nursing staff work closely with patients to implement the project’s strategies effectively. Communication Plan The communication plan ensures consistent updates across stakeholders. The Executive Sponsor will receive monthly updates and quarterly reviews through presentations, meetings, and detailed reports that highlight project updates and strategic recommendations. Team Members will participate in weekly meetings held via in-person discussions, social media, emails, and Zoom, focusing on timelines, tasks, deadlines, and overall project progress.

NHS FPX 8040 Assessment 3 Project Charter Part 3 Name Capella university NHS-FPX 8040 21st-Century Health Care Leadership Prof. Name Date Project Overview Project Name: Healing the Workforce: Addressing Nursing Shortages at Lima Memorial Hospital Gap Analysis: Lima Memorial Hospital is currently facing a significant nursing shortage, with 75 vacant positions out of 500 approved spots for registered nurses. This staffing deficit has led to increased workloads for existing nurses, resulting in higher burnout rates and compromised patient care. To address this issue, the hospital aims to reduce the number of vacant positions to 25 within 12 months. Achieving this target will alleviate the workload for current staff and enhance the quality of patient care. The gap between the current state and the desired state has been identified through various methods, including the review of staffing levels, vacancy rates, and recruitment and retention trends. Surveys conducted among nursing staff have highlighted challenges such as excessive workload and burnout, emphasizing the need for intervention to ensure effective healthcare delivery and improved patient outcomes. Current State vs. Desired State Table Current State Desired State Identified Gap Methods Used to Identify the Gap Implications/Relevance to the Population 75 vacant positions for registered nurses out of 500 approved positions. 25 vacant positions for registered nurses out of 500 approved positions. Filling 50 vacant registered nurse positions. Reviewed current staffing levels, vacancy rates, and recruitment trends. Surveys assessed workload and burnout. Nursing shortages lead to poor patient outcomes, reduced satisfaction, and compromised care quality. Addressing these issues ensures effective healthcare delivery. Evidence to Support the Need Recent staff surveys at Lima Memorial Hospital reveal that 65% of nurses experience burnout due to the increased workload caused by staffing shortages. Additionally, 50% of respondents highlighted the negative impact on patient safety and care quality. These findings underscore the urgent need to address nursing shortages. Globally, nursing shortages present a critical healthcare challenge. According to Tamata and Mohammadnezhad (2022), approximately three million additional nurses are required in the United States to bridge this gap. Regulatory bodies such as The Joint Commission emphasize the need to maintain acceptable staffing levels to ensure safe and effective care delivery (Baker, 2022). Addressing nursing shortages enhances patient safety, reduces workload and burnout, and optimizes healthcare resource allocation (Udod, 2023). Problem Statement: The nursing shortage at Lima Memorial Hospital is primarily due to inadequate recruitment and retention strategies, leading to poor staff well-being, high turnover rates, and vacant nursing positions. This gap compromises care quality, demanding targeted interventions to improve hiring, retention, and hospital workflows. SMART Objectives Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time-Bound Target population includes current and potential nursing staff and recruitment departments. Observe a measurable reduction of 50 vacant nursing positions. Realistic and achievable with available resources and leadership commitment. Ensures equitable access to healthcare, aligned with the mission of improving staff well-being and patient care. Fill 50 vacant positions within 12 months. Project Aim: This project aims to address the nursing shortage at Lima Memorial Hospital by reducing the number of vacancies from 75 to 25 within 12 months.
