Many key stakeholders are involved in the implementation of this project. Residents are obviously involved, as a reduction of behavioural episodes can improve quality of life (Jeon et al. 2012, p. 509). Workloads, and hence costs, for nursing and caring staff can be reduced, as well as less involvement in rectifying behavioural problems (Zeller et al. 2011, pp. 2473-2474).
A successful outcome of this intervention would decrease time needed for general practitioners and pharmacists to prescribe and distribute antipsychotic medications used to decrease the incidence of behavioural episodes. Similarly, social workers and psychiatrists would not be required as frequently to manage issues involving behavioural episodes. Allied health professionals would be able to complete therapeutic activities with clients in an environment that is less affected by behavioural episodes. Importantly, musicians would be utilised to implement this project, providing jobs and helping to destigmatise RACF.

PSDA stands for plan, study, do, act, and each section considers each action much as it sounds. For example, in the planning section, the plan is identified, tasks are assigned to relevant stakeholders, and expected outcomes are discussed (Quorus 2012, p. 26). Each of these sections are used to ensure that the project is designed and implemented in a rigorous manner with room for alteration and stakeholders feedback and input in the development process (Quorus 2012, p. 27). NSW Government (2015) and Quorus (2012, p. 5) describe PDSA as a tool that can be used to improve projects before implementation by testing changes involved in the intervention on a smaller scale before the intervention is put into practice, avoiding potential complications in the overall
