- Review the health care initiative to translate evidence into practice that you analyzed for your PowerPoint presentation Assignment.
- Evaluate the change that successfully or unsuccessfully occurred as a result of the health care initiative analyzed in Unit 5 through the lens of:
- translational science
- complexity theory and transdisciplinary
- one organizational change theory.
- Conclude with your personal opinion of the value of organizational change theory, translational science, and complexity theory and transdisciplinary for the development, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of initiatives in health care.
