NURS 8410 Assignment 1 Application 4: Planning for Change, Implementing and Evaluating EBP Projects

Many factors influence how successfully an EBP Project is implemented and evaluated. As noted in this week’s Learning Resources, using a translation framework can facilitate effective implementation and the evaluation of outcomes.

 

As you complete Application 4, revisit the evidence-based practice model or framework you selected for your EBP Project (Application 2). How does the model or framework facilitate the evaluation of outcomes? Would another model or framework better meet the needs of your project?

Continue (from this week’s Discussion) to:
