Evidenced – 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 change 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 organization and propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach.

TO PREPARE:
(a) Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in module 4, i.e. your order #666772, related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT.

(b) Reflect on your current healthcare organization and think about potential opportunities for evidenced-based change, using your topic of interest and PICOT as the basis for your reflection.

(c) Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.

THE ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS ARE: (EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE PROJECT)

PART 4: RECOMMENDING AN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE CHANGE.
Create a 8- to 9-slide NARRATED PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

(1) 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).

(3)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.

(4) Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation.

(5) Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.

(6) Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change.

(7) Be sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer-reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.

(8) ADD a lessons learned section that include the following:
(a) A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submitted i.e your order # 666772.
(b) An explanation about what you learned from completing the EVALUATION TABLE within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template ( 1-3 Slides)
(c) The narrated presentation should have a clear and comprehensive purpose statement, introduction, and conclusion which delineates all required criteria.
(d) Use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation with no errors.
