Methods to evaluate effectiveness of proposed solution
When one develops a proposed solution, it is always crucial to come up with methods to evaluate effectiveness of the same. It is on this note, that there has been development of methods to evaluate effectiveness of the proposed solution of prevention and management of diabetes type 2. For the methods to be effective, it is crucial that much attention is paid in selection of the methods. One such method is survey of nurses’ attitudes before and after initiating the change. The attitude of the nurses ought to be surveyed before effecting the change. This attempt is meant to ensure perception of the change in attitude that is expected when change has been initiated. The attitudes of the nurses could be surveyed through observation and even interviewing them to get a glimpse of their attitude. Attitude occupies a crucial place when it comes to initiating changes. After initiating change, it is crucial that the attitude of nurses is surveyed so as to ascertain the effect of the change.

Therefore, it is crucial that the contributors to satisfaction are identified so as to ensure that they are engaged in the process of initiating change. For instance, for nurses to be satisfied in the process of managing and preventing diabetes type 2 there ought to be sufficient equipment for use in the provision of health care service.

The patients’ satisfaction could emanate from reception of good care from the healthcare providers.
The other method touches on survey of patient discharge comparison before and after initiating change. Connelly, Kirk, Masthoff & MacRury (2013) observe that; when the proposed solution is of positive impact, there ought to be higher number of discharges than when the ...
