NUR4600 Ohio University Implementation of Evidence Based Practice Paper Overview

Your Clinical Practice Project required you to become a change agent. You selected a problem that was professionally or personally important to you, researched the problem, and developed a plan of action that included strategies for success, stakeholders and resources by linking a QSEN competency. Now it is time to put it all together. You may use the information from your weeks 1-3 templates – but do not just copy and paste – synthesize all of your information.

For this assignment you will write a minimum of a 4-5 page paper (no more than 5 pages, not including the title page, abstract, or reference page) connecting all of your links. Your paper should be in strict APA format including citations and references, and an abstract is required for this paper. You may use first person, but limited use.

Your paper should include:

An abstract.
An introduction.
The frame of your problem. Remember to include your framing information!
Supportive organization.
A second solution to your problem (see explanation below).
An implementation and evaluation plan for your second solution including a discussion related to your stakeholders and resources.
An overall evaluation of your CPP.
Preceptor (mentor) experience.
A conclusion.

The Second Solution:

The paper includes a discussion of a hypothetical second solution, implementation, and evaluation. (numbers 5 and 6 above). A good nurse always has a back-up plan – or what are your next steps now that you implemented your CPP. This is where your second solution comes into play. Also, are there stakeholders or resources that might be available if there were a different solution? Is there a short term solution and a long term solution? Do you need to adjust your plan due to time or money constraints?

Objectives

This assessment is aligned with the the course objectives.

Extend academic experience into areas of nursing practice interest, working with new ideas, issues, organizations, and individuals.
Demonstrate the ability to think and act critically and creatively about nursing practice issues.
Develop analytical and ethical leadership skills necessary to address and help solve these issues.
Utilize evidence based research and demonstrate proficiency in written and communication skills.

Points: 40

Due Date: Sat, June 15 by 8:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) of the US.

References

All references must be no older than five years (unless making a specific point using a seminal piece of information)

Evidence-based practice revolves around the use and application of the various current or updated pieces of

Collaboration
Discuss Health Care Organization (this is not the facility/organization where you are implementing your
project, may be a nursing organization, or any organization which sets standards, conducts research, or
publishes evidence based literature in relation to your topic) that will help support your project. Discussion
should include the mission/values of the organization (in your own words). Provide citations and references (no
direct quotes).
There exist many organizations that in the end, set rules and regulations meant to provide a safe working or
operating environment for the healthcare practitioners as well as patients (Scott, 2015). In this case, the
organization to look at includes the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, otherwise abbreviated as
AHRQ (2019). This agency deals with the setting of various guidelines and standards that the healthcare
organizations and providers should observe. These guidelines revolve around the provision of a reliable and
effective working environment that in the end, helps to guarantee the safety and better patient outcomes. The
establishment of this agency came from the desire to come up with a body that undertakes research on the issues
surrounding the healthcare sector specializing in healthcare research and projects. This agency will form the
foundation of understanding the implications of the underlying concepts and issues that may affect the overall
quality of care given to the patients. In addition to that, the agency will provide enough assistance when it
comes to the issue of evidence-based research as well as clinical applications. Using the basics of the agency as
stated by Dang & Dearholt (2017), the project will highlight some of the vital issues of concern, such12 as
evidence-based practices and the best ways to improve the overall care offered by the practitioners.
Global Objective: the purpose of a global objective is to provide a vision for your overall project-what are you
developing and implementing-what is your expected impact on patient outcome? It should be broadly stated-in
one sentence. (Do Not Use Any Abbreviations)
By the end of the project, I want to offer a platform that will inform the practitioners particularly nurses on the
significance and importance of the use of evidence-based practice when it comes to the clinical areas of
applications in shaping the outcomes of patient care which are governed by principles such as physical comfort,
emotional support, involvement of family and friends and access to information and education.
Project Objectives: Now your global objective should be broken down into more focused steps. Be sure your
Project Objectives support your Global Objective! How will you achieve your global objective? Be specific.
Write 4 Project Objectives…objectives should start with an action verb! (Do Not Use Any Abbreviations) For
example; Research on…Develop a tool/guide/protocol/policy/process to…Develop and present education to staff
on new tool…Implement new tool on ___number (the number should be adequate to meet your minimum of 1-2
log hours in direct patient contact) of patients to improve (how will your project impact patient outcomes)…
•
Engage in continuous research to identify the challenges affecting nurses when it comes to
implementing evidence-based practices. I will achieve this goal by regularly checking at new research findings
to ascertain methods of improving evidence-based practices.
•
Develop a nurse or practitioner educational strategy meant to inform these parties on the importance of
evidence-based practice. I will achieve this goal by scheduling the training hours for the nurses which will be
set in relation to the time the nurses will be off from work.
•
Research on the various uses or applications of evidence-based practice in the clinical setting. I will
achieve this goal by reading through records from various health centers that relate to how they use and apply
evidence based practice.
 Implement a new strategy meant to champion for lifelong learning for the practitioners and nurses. I will
achieve this goal by encouraging practitioners and nurses on the importance of lifelong learning to their
role.

Direct patient engagement: Describe in a one or two sentences how you will provide direct engagement in your

This project will involve me engaging directly with the practitioners and patients on the issues of the use and
application of evidence-based practice. In the interactions, the nurses will outline some of the challenges they
encounter when implementing or providing care using the concepts of evidence-based practice. I plan to do this
interaction with patients by; making sure that that I acknowledge my patients emotions, avoid responding
defensively to them and identifying what they need from me and what they care about.
What are the scope, duration and history of the problem? Write 3-4 paragraphs related to your selected problem.
Provide supportive detail. Give supportive data from facility, community, state, or national data to explain why
you feel this is an issue. Your paragraphs should be professionally written, single spaced with APA formatted
