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)
