Objectives:

1. Produce a comprehensive and professional change initiative presentation.
2. Integrate acquired knowledge and skills into professional practice.
3. Examine the implementation of evidence based research in nursing practice.
4. Analyze research findings for the enhancement of evidence based practice in the clinical setting.
5. Apply leadership concepts, skills, and decision making in the provision of high quality nursing care in a collaborative inter professional setting.
6. Analyze the impact of organizational and environmental factors on health care delivery and practice.
7. Demonstrate leadership and communication skills to effectively implement change initiatives for nursing practice.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Evidence-Based Practice Proposal Project

Introduction

A major part of evidence-based practice is the ability to create and implement change. However, there are many challenges involved in implementing a change based on the results of an evidence-based practice study. This project will provide strategies for implementing an evidence-based practice change proposal that will help your organization improve patient care by addressing three main concerns:

Problem Statement:

In this project, you will be asked to analyze the data and write a proposal that explains how evidence-based practice can improve the quality of care in your community.

You should begin with a problem statement. What is the problem? What are we trying to solve? How do we know it’s a problem? And why do we think evidence-based practice can help us solve it?

Literature Review:

In this section, we will look at the literature about evidence-based practice (EBP) and its benefits.

• What is EBP?

Evidence-Based Practice refers to a process of identifying and integrating relevant research with clinical expertise in order to make decisions about patient care. As such, it has been widely adopted as an essential component of healthcare delivery throughout the world. However, there is little agreement on what constitutes “evidence-based practice”; therefore some practitioners prefer the term “evidence-based decision making” (Bartlett & Snowdon).

PICO Question:

The PICO question is a common way to frame research questions. It should be specific, measurable, answerable and time bound. The question must be written in the form of a question.

A great example of a PICO question can be found in The New Yorker’s article “Why Do Doctors Lie?” by Ben Mezrich (2010). He asks: What causes doctors to lie? In this case, the researcher is asking what factors lead doctors to lie about their treatments for patients who have suffered from cancer or other serious illnesses?

Evidence-Based Practice Change Proposal Project

In this section, you should describe the problem you are trying to solve.

In this section, describe how you plan to solve the problem.

Describe what benefits there will be when your project is completed and all of its goals have been met or exceeded.

Include risks such as failure and cost overruns in your proposal so that we can help prepare for them if needed!

Takeaway:

The take away is the main point, or conclusion, of your entire project.

The take away should be a clear statement of the problem and its solution.

Conclusion

I hope that this post has helped you understand the process of writing an evidence-based practice proposal project and how to create one for your own use or as a gift. I’m also hopeful that it will be helpful for other people who are in similar situations and feel unsure about where to start.
