1. Organization’s Culture Supporting Change
The Northwestern Memorial Hospital is dedicated to offer an excellent care service to their patients and focus on strong communication with their patients and patients' family members. However, the hospital is very attentive to adopting changes in its care services according to the advanced technology and treatment process (Avanecean, Calliste, Contreras, Lim & Fitzpatrick, 2017). The mission of the hospital is to provide a better care service to its patients and to improve the healthcare of the community.
The value of the hospital is explored through the shared commitment and responsibility to a single patient. Teamwork, excellence, integrity and priority of the patient are the core value of the organization (Sherrington et al., 2017). However, inter-professional collaboration is good in the organization as the care service of the hospital is going through teamwork where each of care providers is responsible for their duty and share information with their co-staffs. Perception of the hospital towards its staff is motivating and positive.
2. Organizational Readiness Tool 
The hospital is attentive to using a Fall Prevention Tool Kit that can be helpful to involve patients and the family members of the patients into the prevention process throughout hospitalization. The survey report resulted in more than 20 patients in the hospital falls so the hospital management is ready to use this tool. The care providers of the hospital enhance changes for the old aged patients between 35-100 years old who are diagnosed with CVA.
The hospital is ready to implement physical therapy and occupational therapy exercise programs daily with Range of Motion Every shift for a zero falls case in the hospital (Cheng et al., 2018).  The strength of the proposed tool is explored through zero falls cases and it helps patients get better and faster treatment. Sometimes the tool could fall for measures and could misguide doctors. It is the major weakness of this tool.
However, most of the time stakeholders support the utility of this tool and treatment. Proposed barriers can arise through lack of skilled staff. The proposal will be conducted within 3 months. Trained care providers and fall prevention tools will be resources. The statement is rational as it included exercise programs, therapies in regularly that is far preferable than the current rehabilitation therapy use 4-5 in a week.
