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

The collection of evidence is an
activity that occurs with an endgame in mind. For example, law
enforcement professionals collect evidence to support a decision to
charge those accused of criminal activity. Similarly, evidence-based
healthcare practitioners collect evidence to support decisions in
pursuit of specific healthcare outcomes.
In this Assignment, you will identify an issue
or opportunity for change within your healthcare organization and
propose an idea for a change in practice supported by an EBP approach.
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)
