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
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)
