Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to provide an opportunity to share the results of the synthesis project with student colleagues. This assignment is intended to allow you to show evidence of achievement of:
CLO1: Critically appraise existing scientific evidence to be used in decision-making related to practice or leadership.
CLO2: Develop evidenced-based practice questions using the PICO format.
CLO3: Conduct a literature search for research evidence related to a practice question.
CLO4: Summarize high-quality evidence to synthesize into a practice recommendation.
CLO5: Develop a planned change process and a data-driven evaluation for a practice change.
Requirements
This assignment is a narrated presentation file (i.e., PowerPoint or Prezi). It is due by day 7 of week 8. Also, your presentation should be posted to the week 10 discussion forum by day 3 of week 9.
Please view at least two of your student colleagues’ presentations and provide them feedback (Thisis week 10 discussion assignment).
Your presentation should include an introduction, description and significance of the practice problem, the PICO question, summary of search strategy and results, synthesis of the literature support for the proposed change, description of the setting for the planned change, proposed planned change process using the ARCC model, evaluation plan including criteria with measures, data collection and analysis, and conclusion. The presentation should not be longer than 15 minutes.
