Develop an evaluation form that includes 7 objective criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed plan (regarding nursing shortage)

Evaluation Form al Affiliation Evaluation Form Evaluation for to Measure Effectiveness of the Implementation Plan The planis to address the nursing shortage in the current health care environment (Education Career Articles, 2014). The evaluation form is designed to measure the effectiveness of attaining the following objectives, as identified below:
Objectives
Completely Met (1)
Partially Met (2)
Not Met (3)
Not Clearly Measureable (4)
No Comment (5)
(1) to invite students to pursue the nursing profession;
(2) to disseminate crucial information that promotes various opportunities for nurses;
(3) to assess current nursing requirements given historical information on patient census;
(4) to design the most appropriate nurse-patient ratio given current patient census;
(5) to monitor the impact of recommended nurse-patient ratio in terms of quality of patient care;
(6) to monitor the impact of maintaining effective staffing requirements in terms of customer satisfaction;
(7) to increase the overall image of the health care institution as adhering to standards of care
Identification of How the Evaluation Plan would be Implemented
The proposed evaluation plan would be communicated to nurses and other health care practitioners who would be directly affected by the plan to address nursing shortage. As such, initial staff meetings would be scheduled to orient identified personnel through incorporating the subject matter in one of the monthly meetings. After communication, the evaluation form would be distributed to personnel who would be deemed most appropriate to respond. The distribution of evaluation forms would be done the day after the monthly meeting. Collection of the responses would be undertaken the day after these evaluations forms are distributed. The data would be interpreted through collation and tallying, according to nursing units. The findings would be communicated by the assigned nurse manager to the department heads. The department heads would assign one department manager to integrate the findings for subsequent report to the vice president of nursing. Any weaknesses in the evaluation form could be identified and corrections would be recommended. The final report would be submitted to the board of directors for their review.
