Sustainment and Handover Plan: Two Owning Posts, a Dependency Register With Lapse Dates, a Maintenance Calendar in Intervals and the Condition for Switching the Task Off
Two Owners, Both Posts
Content owner: Chair, Pain Management Committee. Owns the definition of reassessment, the 30- and 60-minute windows, the list of medications that should trigger a task and the decision to extend or stop the task.
Technical owner: Clinical Documentation Analyst, Nursing, Information Technology Applications. Holds administrator rights on the task rule "NUR PRN REASSESS," the linked flowsheet activity and the dismissal reasons, and is the only post that can edit them.
A plan naming only the content owner would hand over a folder nobody can edit. The two posts have agreed, by email on 2 April 2027, to the split described here, and each has a copy of the other's responsibilities so that neither assumes the other will act.
The Dependency Register
| Dependency | What it is | Responsible post | Lapses or changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task rule "NUR PRN REASSESS," version 1.2 | Creates the task on a listed dose | Clinical Documentation Analyst | Each quarterly vendor release; next 14 May 2027 |
| Medication grouper "Opioid analgesics, PRN reassessment list" | Defines which doses trigger | Pharmacy Informatics Pharmacist | Whenever the formulary changes; reviewed quarterly |
| Flowsheet row "Pain Reassessment," row identifier unchanged | Where the value is filed and what the query reads | Clinical Documentation Analyst | Any flowsheet rebuild |
| Weekly scheduled query | Produces the outcome and companion figures | Quality Analyst, Pain and Opioid Measures | Runs Mondays at 07:00 |
| Reporting service account | Account the query runs under | Reporting Team Manager | Password expires every 180 days; next 14 August 2027 |
| Task completion log export | Produces adoption figures | Clinical Documentation Analyst | Manual export; monthly |
| Vendor enhancement ticket 03381 | Request to filter the trigger by action | Clinical Informatics Manager | Open; vendor review cycle unknown |
| Tip sheet, version 1.1 | Nurse documentation | Clinical Nurse Educator, Medical-Surgical | Review annually; next March 2028 |
No new license was needed; the worklist feature is part of the hospital's existing contract.
The Next Release Is Coming
The vendor's quarterly release on 14 May 2027 is the most likely thing to break the task. The release notes, published about four weeks ahead, will be read by the technical owner for any change to worklist tasks or medication administration events. Two regression cases have been added to the analyst's standard release test script: a listed dose creates a task due at the right time, and filing the row completes it. If either fails, the task is switched off for that unit until fixed, and the pain committee chair is told the same day.
Intervals, Not Good Intentions
Weekly: the scheduled query runs; the quality analyst glances at the 4 West figure and the companion.
Monthly: the pain committee reads the figures on a run chart; the analyst exports the task log and reports the dismissal and expiry shares.
Quarterly: pharmacy reviews the grouper; the technical owner retests after each vendor release.
Every 180 days: the reporting service account password is renewed.
Annually: the content owner reviews the windows and the tip sheet.
None of these depends on the student, whose access ended on 9 April 2027.
The Workaround Register, Carried Forward
Dismissal for doses not given continues until ticket 03381 is resolved. The paper tracker on two 4 West carts is expected to remain, since it also covers nonopioid PRNs. The charge nurse's spreadsheet stopped on 23 February. The register passes to the clinical informatics manager with this plan.
Extending to Other Units
The pain committee will decide at its April meeting whether to extend the task to 5 West and 3 East. Extension needs only the task rule to be enabled for those units, about two analyst hours, plus the tip sheet and huddles. The adoption pattern on nights and among float nurses suggests the extension should start with the night huddle and the float pool folder, not after them.
The Condition for Switching It Off
The task should be switched off on a unit if either: the weekly share with a Pain Reassessment value in the window falls to within three percentage points of that unit's baseline for eight consecutive weeks, showing that the task no longer changes anything; or dismissals other than "Dose not given" exceed 25% of tasks for four consecutive weeks, showing that nurses are clearing it rather than using it. Either condition is read by the pain committee from the monthly run chart. Switching off is the technical owner's action on the content owner's decision.
A sunset condition protects nurses from a task that adds clicks without benefit. Repeated, low-value prompts erode attention to all prompts (Ancker et al., 2017).
What the Owners Receive
Each owner received the plan, their own row of the register and the files they need. The technical owner received the task rule build record, the test script with the two regression cases and the vendor ticket number. The content owner received the measure definition, the results summary and the sunset condition. The quality analyst received the query documentation. The educator received the tip sheet source file. Nothing was left on the student's drive; the student's folder was emptied and closed on 9 April.
Risks to Sustainment
Staff turnover in any of the owning posts. A formulary change that adds a new opioid without updating the grouper, so its doses create no task. A future flowsheet rebuild that changes the row identifier and breaks the query. The register names the post that would catch each of these; the plan cannot remove them. The pain committee's monthly run chart is the backstop: any of the three would show as a sudden fall.
Who Was Asked
Both owners, the pharmacy informatics pharmacist, the quality analyst, the reporting manager, the clinical educator and the 4 West unit manager each read their row of the register and confirmed it between 30 March and 6 April.
Fit With Implementation Research
Sustainability is an implementation outcome in its own right, separate from adoption (Proctor et al., 2011). Fit with existing processes and resources, such as release testing the analyst already does, is associated with changes lasting (Damschroder et al., 2009), which is why the regression cases were added to an existing script rather than a new one. The plan treats it that way: adoption was measured in weeks; sustainment is planned in quarters and years.

NR 643 Week 5 instructions, in plain terms
Write it as an operating document. Name two owners, both as posts: the one who owns the content and the one who holds administrator rights on the system, since these are rarely the same and a plan naming only the first hands over something nobody can edit. Build a dependency register listing every account, scheduled report, interface, license and stored credential the change relies on, each with the post responsible and the date it lapses or changes. Plan for the next vendor release. Give maintenance as intervals with owners rather than intentions. Set a condition under which the change should be switched off, and say who reads it and who acts. Confirm each row with the person named in it.
How the NR 643 Week 5 example is put together
The sample names the pain committee chair and the clinical documentation analyst for nursing, who agreed by email on 2 April. The register covers eight dependencies, including a service account password expiring on 14 August and a vendor release on 14 May. Two regression cases join the analyst's existing release script, and a failure switches the task off on that unit. Maintenance runs weekly, monthly, quarterly, every 180 days and annually, none depending on the student. The workaround register passes to the informatics manager. Extension is a committee decision costing about two analyst hours per unit. The task goes off if the figure returns near baseline for eight weeks or dismissals exceed a quarter for four.
Where the points sit in the NR 643 Week 5 rubric
Sustainment plans lose most when they name only a content owner, so nobody with system rights is responsible for keeping the build working. Next are plans that never list dependencies, leaving an expiring service account or a formulary change to break the measure without warning. Many plans ignore the next vendor release, which is the most likely thing to break a build. Maintenance written as promises to monitor, with no intervals or owners, rarely happens. Plans with no condition for switching the change off leave nurses with a task that may outlive its usefulness. Owners who have not confirmed their own rows may not know they are in the plan. Plans that leave files on the student's own drive also fail the first time an owner needs to edit something.
NR 643 Week 5 help: mistakes that cost points
Turning a project into something that runs without you means listing parts of the system most students never see. We can help you name your two owners, build a dependency register with lapse dates and write maintenance as intervals. We can also help you set a sunset condition that a committee can actually read. The plan, the owners and the conditions are yours to agree with your site. Asking each person named in the register to read and confirm their own row is the quickest way to find a dependency you missed.

NR 643 Week 5 questions, answered
What if nobody at the site will take ownership?
Say so, and price it. A build with no named owner runs until the first upgrade and then stops without anybody connecting the two. An honest plan records which post was approached, on what date, what answer came back, and exactly which parts fall over when nobody is watching them. That reads as accurate rather than as failure.
Is administrator access really part of a course assignment?
The plan describes it rather than arranging it. Nobody expects a student to grant rights, and most sites would not allow it. What the rubric rewards is a document that has established who already holds those rights, whether that post has agreed to use them for this, and what specific request would have to go in if the answer is no.
Why write a sunset condition for something just finished?
Because it is the only moment anybody will write one honestly. Once a build has run for a year, retiring it feels like an accusation, so it stays live and unmaintained until an upgrade breaks it in front of a night shift. A condition set now, with the post allowed to invoke it, is what stops the thing outliving its usefulness.
Where can I find a free NR 643 Week 5 sample paper?
The full sustainment and handover plan for a PRN reassessment worklist task, with its dependency register, is reproduced on this page.
Why does the NR 643 Week 5 plan include a switch-off condition?
A task that adds clicks without benefit should end, and writing the condition in advance lets the committee decide on evidence rather than habit.
