Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change

The collection of evidence is an activity that occurs with an endgame in mind. For example, law enforcement professionals collect evidence to support a decision to charge those accused of criminal activity. Similarly, evidence-based healthcare practitioners collect evidence to support decisions in pursuit of specific healthcare outcomes.

In this Assignment, you will identify an issue or opportunity for change within your healthcare organization and propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach.

To Prepare:

• Reflect      on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4,      related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT.
• Reflect      on your current healthcare organization and think about potential      opportunities for evidence-based change, using your topic of interest and      PICOT as the basis for your reflection.
• Consider      the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an      audience.

The Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change

Create an 8- to 9-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

• Briefly      describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness      for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such      as your company name.)
• Describe      the current problem or opportunity for change. Include in this description      the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue,      the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change      implementation in general.
• Propose      an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP approach to      decision making. Note that you may find further research needs to be      conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered.
• Describe      your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge      creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation.
• Explain      how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience.      Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.
• Describe      the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of      this evidence-based change.
• Be      sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer      reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.
• Add      a lessons learned section that includes the following:
  • A       summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you       previously submitted
  • An       explanation about what you learned from completing the Evaluation Table       within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template (1-3 slides)
