Briefly describe your healthcare organization, including its culture and readiness for change.

EBP CLASS Assignment 1

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)

TIPS For full grade! 

I suggest instead you make a bulleted presentation which is more appropriate for powerpoint and NARRATE the detail requested. Do not clutter the slide with business and small font.

1. title slide

2. introduction to THIS presentation (the recommendation of a practice)

3. Description of the healthcare setting in which you would make the EBP recommendation. (culture, readiness for change)

4. A brief description of the current problem, need for change, and the EBP idea (your PICOT question)

5. The plan for change: What strategy would you use to disseminate the EBP change with rationale?

6. What are the outcomes you hope to see with this change?

7. Lessons (plural, so at least 2) you learned: (You must discuss a summary of the appraisal of the research you reviewed, and a lesson learned from completing the matrix, or a lesson learned from synthesis of the evidence and outcomes).

8. Conclusion to the presentation

9. References (you must have 2 outside sources, and 2-3 course resources from this list):

NC Class Assignment 2

To Prepare:

• Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and reflect on the scenario presented.
• Consider the benefits and challenges associated with involving a nurse leader on an implementation team for health information technology.

The Assignment: (2-3 pages not including the title and reference page)

In preparation of filling this role, develop a 2- to 3-page role description for a graduate-level nurse to guide his/her participation on the implementation team. The role description should be based on the SDLC stages and tasks and should clearly define how this individual will participate in and impact each of the following steps:

• Planning and requirements definition
• Analysis
• Design of the new system
• Implementation
• Post-implementation support
• Use APA format and include a title page and reference page.

4 APA References no older than 5 years. Excellent APA format is expected for full grade.
